Project Summary/Abstract This application seeks partial funding for the 16th Symposium on Cochlear Implants in Children (CI2019 Pediatric) being organized by the American Cochlear Implant Alliance collaboratively with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine on July 10-13, 2019 in Hollywood (FL). The CI clinical research meetings offer a unique opportunity for clinicians from across the CI care continuum (i.e., ENTs, audiologists, speech pathologists, deaf educators, psychologists, social workers) and scientists to learn together in a setting that differs from conferences for specific clinicians such as ENTs or audiologists on more generalized content. In 2019, the focus is how best to “treat the whole child”—beyond hearing loss. To date, CI pediatric clinical research conferences have focused primarily on the technology and therapeutic models that produce the best outcomes for the “traditional” pediatric population, a model that has led to most children who received early CI developing language that paralleled typically hearing peers. As clinical models evolved, we moved from serving English-speaking children with profound bilateral hearing loss and no secondary disabilities to a diverse CI population of very young and older children with lesser and varying (on each side) hearing loss, multiple disabilities, and those whose families reside in the US but do not speak English. There is a need to understand how to appropriately treat children from this more complex and diverse population, including those with variable language development outcomes. Students may apply for waived registration and financial support, and may enter a student poster competition with interviews conducted by an interdisciplinary committee. A post-conference seminar in Spanish will bring together US and Latin American attendees. The venue, located on the Atlantic Ocean, has flexible spaces indoors and out to encourage discussion, networking and problem-solving before and after scheduled sessions among and between experienced and emerging clinician/scientists and students. The specific aims of this proposal are to: (1) Offer a forum for discussion of research to practice principles by multidisciplinary teams for addressing family variables, social and emotional development, presence of other disabilities, bilingualism, and varying levels of hearing loss in children who may benefit from cochlear implantation but whose needs and outcomes may differ from the “traditional” candidate; (2) Ensure that the meeting venue and format utilizes a combination of presentation types, discussion tools and informal networking to engage a range of clinicians and scientists who are at different stages in their careers—highly expert clinicians/scientists, those individuals whose work is emerging, and students and fellows who benefit from interacting with more experienced colleagues; and (3) Examine the variability in the CI candidate population with the aim of improving results for those children who do not derive the expected outcome with CI via clinical and basic research that can address such variability.

项目总结/摘要 该申请旨在为第16届儿童植入物研讨会（CI 2019）提供部分资金 儿科），由美国脊柱植入物联盟与 迈阿密米勒医学院于2019年7月10日至13日在好莱坞（佛罗里达州）。CI临床研究会议 为来自CI护理连续体的临床医生提供独特的机会（即，耳鼻喉科，听力学家，言语 病理学家，聋人教育工作者，心理学家，社会工作者）和科学家在一个环境中共同学习， 与针对特定临床医生（如耳鼻喉科医生或听力学家）的会议在更广泛的内容上有所不同。在 2019年，重点是如何最好地“治疗整个孩子”-超越听力损失。 到目前为止，CI儿科临床研究会议主要集中在技术和 为“传统”儿科人群产生最佳结果的治疗模式， 导致大多数接受早期CI治疗的儿童发展出与同龄人听力相似的语言。 随着临床模式的发展，我们从为讲英语的儿童服务， 听力损失和无继发性残疾的非常年轻和年龄较大的儿童的不同CI人群， 轻度和不同程度的听力损失，多重残疾，以及那些家庭居住在 美国，但不会说英语。有必要从这一点上了解如何适当地对待儿童 更复杂和多样化的人群，包括语言发展结果可变的人群。 学生可以申请豁免注册和财政支持，并可以进入学生海报 由跨学科委员会进行面试的竞争。会议后的研讨会， 西班牙语将汇集美国和拉丁美洲的与会者。该场地位于大西洋上， 有灵活的室内和室外空间，以鼓励讨论，网络和解决问题之前， 在有经验的和新兴的临床医生/科学家和学生之间的预定会议之后。 这项建议的具体目标是：（1）提供一个论坛，讨论研究实践原则 由多学科小组处理家庭变量、社会和情感发展、 其他残疾、双语和可能受益于人工耳蜗的儿童的不同程度的听力损失 （2）确保患者的需求和结果可能与“传统”候选人不同; 会议地点和形式利用了演讲类型、讨论工具和非正式 建立网络，让处于职业生涯不同阶段的一系列临床医生和科学家参与进来， 专家临床医生/科学家，那些工作正在出现的个人，以及受益的学生和研究员 从与更有经验的同事互动;（3）检查CI候选人的可变性 目标是改善那些没有获得预期结果的儿童的结果， 通过临床和基础研究来解决这种变异性。
