Communicative Disorders

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是一个持续的机构赠款，旨在提供研究培训的交流障碍和科学领域的四个博士前和两个博士后学员每年。实践学徒培训在四个相互关联的领域提供：（1）言语产生，发展和障碍;（2）语言结构，发展和障碍;（3）言语和声音生理学;（4）听觉感知，神经编码和可塑性，以及感官辅助。另外两个领域将提供作为“馈线”专业的博士前和博士后学员在这四个领域之一的工作：（5）认知神经科学方法听力，语言处理和沟通障碍;和（6）语言学应用于沟通科学和障碍。在语音，语言和听力科学系的15名活跃的研究人员将作为参与教师。这些人经常在跨越这些研究领域的项目上进行合作。高级课程将采取;然而，培训计划的主要目的是提供密集的互动研究经验，导致建立成功的独立临床研究者。拟议的计划特别侧重于招聘和培训具有基础科学背景的个人，他们希望从事沟通障碍的研究事业，以及具有主要临床背景的个人，他们之前的研究培训很少。沿着实验室研究经验，学员将通过所需的研究补助金写作课程和F31/F32奖学金申请的准备获得补助金经验。博士前和博士后学员都将获得两年的资助。博士前学生将通过大学奖学金，他们的主要顾问的R 01赠款，并在获得个人F31奖学金之前和之后的两年培训补助金资助。拟议计划的结构和重点应有助于解决沟通障碍领域积极和成功的研究人员严重短缺的问题。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for a continuing institutional grant designed to provide research training in the area of communication disorders and sciences for four predoctoral and two postdoctoral trainees per year. Hands-on apprenticeship training is provided in four interrelated areas: (1) Speech Production, Development, and Disorders; (2) Language Structure, Development, and Disorders; (3) Speech and Voice Physiology; and (4) Auditory Perception, Neural Coding and Plasticity, and Sensory Aids. Two additional areas will be offered as "feeder" specialties for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees working in one of these four areas: (5) Cognitive Neuroscience Approaches to Hearing, Language Processing, and Communication Disorders; and (6) Linguistics Applied to Communication Science and Disorders. Fifteen active researchers in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences will serve as the participating faculty. These individuals routinely collaborate on projects that cut across these research areas. Advanced coursework will be taken; however, the main purpose of the training program is to provide intensive interactive research experience leading toward the establishment of successful independent clinical investigators. The proposed program focuses especially on the recruitment and training of individuals with a basic science background who wish to pursue research careers in communication disorders, and individuals with a primarily clinical background whose prior research training was minimal. Along with the laboratory research experience, trainees will gain grant experience through a required research grant writing course and the preparation of F31/F32 fellowship applications. Both predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees will be funded for two years. Predoctoral students will be funded before and after their two-year training grant funding through university fellowships, their major advisors' R01 grants, and, if awarded, individual F31 fellowships. The structure and emphasis of the proposed program should help to address the critical shortage of active and successful researchers in the field of communication disorders.
