 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A new, integrated training program is proposed, Interdisciplinary Research Training in Otolaryngology and Communication Sciences, based in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the Medical University of South Carolina. Advancing the scientific foundation of otolaryngology and communication health, improving health outcomes, and developing and testing new treatments requires well- trained investigative teams with diverse skills and backgrounds in basic and clinical science. The training program's mission is to address these needs by supporting research opportunities in the disciplines related to otolaryngology and communication health, providing strong curricula in an integrative framework, with an interdisciplinary research culture that emphasizes mentoring, academic advancement, career development, grantsmanship, diversity outreach, responsible and ethical conduct of research, and productivity. The major components of our multifaceted program are: (1) predoctoral research training leading to the PhD degree in Biomedical Sciences or the PhD degree in Health and Rehabilitation Science, with applications to otolaryngology/communication health; (2) postdoctoral research training for MD physician-scientists and PhD scientists in basic, translational, and/or clinical sciences related to otolaryngology and communication health; and (3) short-term research training opportunities for health professional students with interests in otolaryngology and communication disorders (medical, dental, pharmacy, nursing, audiology, speech-language pathology, and other health professional students). Each of these components is supported by a highly collaborative group of mentors who direct active, funded research programs; opportunities for interdisciplinary research collaboration and specialized training in a broad spectrum of research fields relevant to otolaryngology and communication health; and an exceptional institutional infrastructure and research culture provided by multiple departments, colleges, and universities. Mentoring expertise, technologies, and resources are thematically grouped in strategic areas of research focus: (1) basic and clinical research in otolaryngology sciences and disorders, (2) basic and clinical research in communication sciences and disorders, (3) basic and clinical neurosciences related to otolaryngology and communication health, such as development, cognition, aging, and neurobiology, and (4) biostatistics and health services research. Integrative activities include Otolaryngology and Communication Health Scholars Day, Seminars, and Journal Clubs, and didactic instruction through courses designed for our trainees. A history and record of interdepartmental collaborations and collegiality among researchers in disciplines related to otolaryngology and communication health is a key factor that predicts long-term success for our training program. Equally important is the long-standing culture of support, value, and enthusiasm for research training by the leadership in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and the institution.

 描述（由申请人提供）：提议在南卡罗来纳医科大学耳鼻喉头颈外科系开展一项新的综合培训计划，即耳鼻喉科和传播科学跨学科研究培训。推进耳鼻喉科和通讯健康的科学基础、改善健康结果以及开发和测试新的治疗方法需要训练有素的研究团队，他们在基础和临床科学方面具有不同的技能和背景。该培训计划的使命是通过支持耳鼻喉科和通讯健康相关学科的研究机会来满足这些需求，在综合框架中提供强大的课程，以及强调指导、学术进步、职业发展、资助、多样性外展、负责任和道德的研究行为以及生产力的跨学科研究文化。我们多方面项目的主要组成部分是：（1）博士前研究培训，获得生物医学博士学位或健康与康复科学博士学位，并应用于耳鼻喉科/通讯健康； (2) 为医学博士医师科学家和博士科学家提供与耳鼻喉科和传播健康相关的基础科学、转化科学和/或临床科学的博士后研究培训； （3）为对耳鼻喉科和沟通障碍感兴趣的健康专业学生（医学、牙科、药学、护理、听力学、言语语言病理学和其他健康专业学生）提供短期研究培训机会。每个组成部分都得到高度协作的导师小组的支持，他们指导活跃的、受资助的研究项目；与耳鼻喉科和通讯健康相关的广泛研究领域的跨学科研究合作和专业培训的机会；以及由多个院系、学院和大学提供的卓越的机构基础设施和研究文化。指导专业知识、技术和资源按研究重点的战略领域进行主题分组：(1) 耳鼻喉科科学和疾病的基础和临床研究，(2) 传播科学和疾病的基础和临床研究，(3) 与耳鼻喉科和传播健康相关的基础和临床神经科学，如发育、认知、衰老和神经生物学，以及 (4) 生物统计学 和卫生服务研究。综合活动包括耳鼻喉科和传播健康学者日、研讨会和期刊俱乐部，以及通过为学员设计的课程进行教学指导。耳鼻喉科和沟通健康相关学科的研究人员之间的跨部门合作和合作的历史和记录是预测我们的培训计划长期成功的关键因素。同样重要的是耳​​鼻喉头颈外科及机构领导层长期以来对研究培训的支持、重视和热情文化。
