DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The number of doctoral graduates in communication sciences falls far short of the need in academics. Given a growing need for health care professionals in speech-language pathology and in audiology, this shortage could have devastating effects on the training of professionals in this field. Moreover, the need for research to support clinical efforts is crucial, especially with the current emphasis on evidence-based practice. Several factors contribute to the shortage of doctoral graduates: 1) the relatively small number of research training programs; 2) a lack of financial support for doctoral students; and 3) difficulties faced by graduates in establishing a program of research in academic settings. The proposed preceptors are a group of accomplished scientists with well funded laboratories and international reputations. Fields of inquiry represented include auditory perception and learning, auditory physiology, auditory development, audiological assessment and rehabilitation, speech perception and production, animal communication, genetics of hearing loss, voice, language and language development. The proposed program will support 8 pre- and 2 post-doctoral trainees. The training program immerses trainees in a research environment from the beginning. Trainees learn to plan, carry out, and acquire funding for a program of research. Specific coursework and experience is planned to achieve these goals. These include content courses as well as courses in research methods, grant writing and the responsible conduct of research. The interdisciplinary nature of the field of communication sciences will be stressed; trainees will be exposed to the work of all preceptors during their training through coursework, through a continuous seminar series organized by subsets of preceptors on interdisciplinary topics, and through interdisciplinary research. Trainees are encouraged to become members of the community of science through presentations to their peers within the program and through presentations at professional meetings. In addition, trainees will gain experience in teaching to better prepare them to succeed in academic positions. Congenital and acquired deficits in *language, speech and hearing are common problems. Research is needed to understand the nature of these deficits, to develop accurate diagnostic procedures and to optimize treatment. The proposed program will support the training of the scientists who will carry out that research.

描述（由申请人提供）：传播科学博士毕业生的数量福尔斯远远低于学术界的需求。鉴于对言语语言病理学和听力学专业人员的需求日益增长，这种短缺可能会对该领域专业人员的培训产生破坏性影响。此外，需要研究来支持临床工作是至关重要的，特别是目前强调循证实践。造成博士毕业生短缺的原因有几个：1）研究培训项目数量相对较少; 2）缺乏对博士生的财政支持; 3）毕业生在学术环境中建立研究项目时面临困难。拟议的导师是一群有成就的科学家，他们拥有资金充足的实验室和国际声誉。调查领域包括听觉感知和学习，听觉生理学，听觉发展，听力评估和康复，言语感知和产生，动物交流，听力损失的遗传学，声音，语言和语言发展。该计划将支持8名博士前和2名博士后学员。培训计划从一开始就让学员沉浸在研究环境中。学员学习计划，执行，并获得研究项目的资金。具体的课程和经验，计划实现这些目标。这些课程包括内容课程以及研究方法课程，赠款写作和负责任的研究行为。将强调传播科学领域的跨学科性质;受训人员将在培训期间通过课程、通过由跨学科专题导师小组组织的连续系列研讨会以及通过跨学科研究接触所有导师的工作。鼓励受训者通过向计划内的同行介绍和通过在专业会议上的介绍成为科学界的成员。此外，学员将获得教学经验，以更好地为他们在学术职位上取得成功做好准备。先天性和后天性的语言、言语和听力缺陷是常见的问题。需要进行研究以了解这些缺陷的性质，制定准确的诊断程序并优化治疗。拟议的方案将支持培训将进行这项研究的科学家。
