 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（由应用程序提供）：本申请要求在年度临床失语学会议（CAC）举行5年的临床失语专业研究研讨会的额外支持。失语症是对“失语症”的研究，这是理解和产生脑部损害导致语言的潜在截然不同的困难。 CAC是唯一致力于研究的科学会议，对临床评估和治疗失语症和相关疾病具有明显影响。每年约有110名参与者参加CAC，每个参与者都通过提交完整的研究项目摘要来获得邀请。参与者包括言语病理学家，语言学家，心理语言学家，（认知）神经心理学家和神经科医生，他们代表了世界上最重要的临床问题研究者。临床失语学研究研讨会的目标是为了贡献：（1）通过协调的F Keynote和与局部相关的平台演示文稿，临床失学研究的生命力； （2）发展新调查人员，特别是来自传统代表性不足的少数族裔/族裔的学生。拟议预算的大部分是为15名学生研究员提供差旅费。这些学生研究员将获得介绍和讨论自己的研究的实践，并将参与一些专门设计的心理机会。过去研究研讨会的评估高度积极，由于赠款，学生参与的CAC大大增加了。 2016年CAC（以及临床教学界研究研讨会）定于5月24日至28日在弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔举行。受邀演讲者将介绍他们最新的关于“词汇级语言处理动态”的工作，以解决语言理解的基本单位，即使不是总是在失语症中受到损害。 2017年的会议将在犹他州帕克城举行，其中可能是“康复引起的可塑性”的潜在主题。下一年的潜在主题包括“扩散张量成像，语言和失语症”，“非障碍语义的大脑基础”，“小脑在语言和认知中的作用”，以及“工作记忆，注意力和执行控制”。
