DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Attracting clinicians to career paths in clinical and/or translational research has been an objective of Washington University in St. Louis (WU) since it partnered with the Central Institute for the Deaf to establish one of the first graduate training programs in audiology in 1947, offering a clinical master's and a PhD research degree in audiology. Since then more than 660 individuals have earned audiology degrees and all of them completed a research project. The acquisition of the research, clinical, and educational programs formerly operated by CID to WU and their placement into the Department of Otolaryngology has further strengthened our hearing research, clinical practice, and academic programs. The clinical doctoral program in audiology (AuD) is offered through the Program in Audiology and Communication Sciences (PACS) and creates an expanded opportunity to enhance research training for future audiologists through its close affiliation with one of the nation's largest research-based otolaryngology departments, and its new home in a highly-ranked medical school that emphasizes training of clinician scientists. The specific aim of the renewal is to continue to offer expanded opportunities to attract audiology students to careers in research. Intensive, full time 3 month research experiences will be offered to selected students who demonstrate the talent, interest, and capability to work and learn in specialized research environments. Five cohorts of 6 trainees will complete a research project under the supervision of one of more than two dozen funded scientists in laboratories conducting research that spans the scope of practice of clinical audiology: vestibular function and balance assessment, evaluation and treatment of age-related and noise-induced hearing loss, sensory cell regeneration and development, cochlear implants in children and adults, language acquisition and speech perception in children with hearing impairment, hearing aids, tinnitus, diseases of the middle and inner ear, aural rehabilitation, and the basic sciences underlying these practice areas. All trainees will be required to present their projects formally at one national meeting (e.g., American Auditory Society), publish them in an open access digital repository, and encouraged to publish them in a peer reviewed journal. [These research experiences will help secure the scientific foundation of the profession, provide mentorship opportunities for funded faculty engaged in research projects, instill a research mindset into all Washington University T-35 trainees, and attract candidates to research careers.]

描述（由申请人提供）：吸引临床医生在临床和/或转化研究的职业道路一直是华盛顿大学圣路易斯分校（WU）的目标，因为它与聋人中央研究所合作，建立了第一个研究生培训计划在听力学在1947年之一，提供临床硕士和博士听力学研究学位。从那时起，超过660人获得了听力学学位，他们都完成了一个研究项目。收购的研究，临床和教育计划，以前由CID吴和他们的安置到耳鼻喉科部门经营，进一步加强了我们的听力研究，临床实践和学术课程。听力学临床博士课程（AuD）通过听力学和传播科学（PACS）课程提供，并通过与全国最大的研究型耳鼻喉科之一的密切联系，为未来的听力学家提供更多的研究培训机会，以及其在一所强调临床科学家培训的高排名医学院的新家。更新的具体目标是继续提供更多的机会，以吸引听力学学生从事研究工作。密集的，全职3个月的研究经验将提供给选定的学生谁证明人才，兴趣和能力，在专业的研究环境中工作和学习。五个6人的学员将在二十多名受资助的科学家之一的监督下完成一个研究项目，这些科学家在实验室进行研究，涵盖临床听力学实践的范围：前庭功能和平衡评估，年龄相关性和噪声引起的听力损失的评估和治疗，感觉细胞再生和发育，儿童和成人的人工耳蜗植入，听力障碍儿童的语言习得和言语感知，助听器，耳鸣，中耳和内耳疾病，听力康复，以及这些实践领域的基础科学。所有受训人员将被要求在一次国家会议上正式介绍其项目（例如，美国听觉学会），在开放获取的数字存储库中发表，并鼓励在同行评审的期刊上发表。[这些研究经验将有助于确保专业的科学基础，为从事研究项目的资助教师提供导师机会，向所有华盛顿大学T-35学员灌输研究思维，并吸引候选人从事研究职业。
