 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests 5 years of additional support for a Research Symposium in Clinical Aphasiology, to be held within the annual Clinical Aphasiology Conference (CAC). Aphasiology is the study of "aphasia," a potentially-devastating difficulty with understanding and producing language that results from brain damage. The CAC is the only scientific meeting dedicated to research with clear implications for clinical assessment and treatment of aphasia and related disorders. About 110 participants attend CAC each year, each earning an invitation by submitting an abstract of a completed research project. Participants include speech-language pathologists, linguists, psycholinguists, (cognitive) neuropsychologists, and neurologists who represent the world's foremost investigators of clinically-relevant issues. The goals of the Research Symposium in Clinical Aphasiology are to contribute: (1) to the vitality of ongoing research in clinical aphasiology, via a coordinated set f keynote and topically-related platform presentations; and (2) to the development of new investigators, particularly students from traditionally underrepresented minority/ethnic groups. The bulk of the proposed budget is to support travel expenses for 15 student fellows. These student fellows will receive practice in presenting and discussing their own research, and will participate in several specially-designed mentoring opportunities. Evaluations of past Research Symposia have been highly positive and student participation at CAC has increased substantially due to the grant. The 2016 CAC (and Research Symposium in Clinical Aphasiology) is scheduled for May 24-28 in Charlottesville, Virginia. Invited speakers will present their most current work on "Dynamics of lexical-level language processing," addressing the fundamental unit of language comprehension which is often if not always impaired in aphasia. The 2017 meeting will be held on approximately the same dates in Park City, Utah, with a potential topic of "Rehabilitation-induced plasticity." Potential topics for subsequent year include "Diffusion tensor imaging, language, and aphasia," "Brain bases of nonlexical semantics," "The role of the cerebellum in language and cognition," and "Working memory, attention, and executive control."

 描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求为临床失语症研究研讨会提供5年的额外支持，该研讨会将在年度临床失语症会议（CAC）内举行。失语症是一门研究“失语症”的学科，失语症是一种由于脑损伤而导致的理解和产生语言的潜在破坏性困难。CAC是唯一一个致力于研究失语症和相关疾病的临床评估和治疗的科学会议。每年大约有110名参与者参加CAC，每个人都通过提交一份已完成的研究项目的摘要来获得邀请。与会者包括言语语言病理学家，语言学家，心理语言学家，（认知）神经心理学家和神经学家谁代表世界上最重要的临床相关问题的调查。临床失语症研究研讨会的目标是：（1）通过协调一套基调和主题相关的平台演示，促进临床失语症正在进行的研究的活力;（2）培养新的研究人员，特别是来自传统上代表性不足的少数民族/种族群体的学生。拟议预算的大部分用于支付15名研究生的旅费。这些学生研究员将获得展示和讨论自己的研究实践，并将参加几个专门设计的辅导机会。过去的研究研讨会的评价一直是非常积极的，在CAC的学生参与大幅增加，由于补助金。2016年CAC（和临床失语症研究研讨会）定于5月24日至28日在弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔举行。特邀演讲者将介绍他们最新的工作“词汇水平的语言处理的动态”，解决语言理解的基本单位，这是经常，如果不总是在失语症受损。2017年的会议将在大约相同的日期在犹他州的帕克城举行，潜在的主题是“再灌注诱导的可塑性”。下一年的潜在主题包括“扩散张量成像、语言和失语症”、“非词汇语义学的脑基础”、“小脑在语言和认知中的作用”和“工作记忆、注意力和执行控制”。"
