CORE B: TECHNOLOGY CORE

项目摘要/摘要 核心B：技术核心 技术核心(TC)旨在提供计算机编程、工程和数据分析 支持所有BTNRH研究人员开展与儿童知觉和沟通相关的研究。 根据我们在第一阶段的经验，它设计了五个具体目标。第一个目标是实现 创新的实验室计算、工程和数据采集支持。目标2是提供专家 关于统计分析和探索性数据分析的指导。目标3是开发尖端软件和 视听核心设备中的仪器。目标4是为项目负责人及其员工提供培训 还有其他人。目标5是执行程序，以确保技术核心的长期可持续性。在……里面 第一阶段，我们启动了一个流程，为项目负责人的需求提供独特和创新的解决方案， 这导致了几个强大的软件和硬件工具的开发，包括完成了一个 最先进的视听研究设施。在第二阶段，我们计划继续这些努力，包括 考虑到BTNRH新扩大的研究调查员队伍、他们的需求和技术能力， 同时确保TC和它所服务的科学家未来的生产力。为了实现这些目标，委员会 已独特地重新设想包括一个跨职能的工程师团队以及经验丰富的 统计顾问，融入高效的工作流程设计，以确保对调查人员的快速响应 需要，以及TC团队继续培训和职业发展所需的资源。该计划包括一项 正式流程，确保TC生成的工具和软件可供 BTNRH的研究人员和其他机构的科学家也分享了这一信息。扩展、创新 TC的能力将进一步增强感知和研究中心丰富的科学环境 儿童中的沟通。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT CORE B: TECHNOLOGY CORE The Technology Core (TC) is designed to provide computer programming, engineering, and data analysis support to all BTNRH investigators who conduct research related to perception and communication in children. It has been designed with five specific Aims, based on our experiences in Phase I. Aim 1 is to deliver innovative laboratory computing, engineering, and data acquisition support. Aim 2 is to provide expert guidance on statistical analyses and exploratory data analysis. Aim 3 is to develop cutting-edge software and instrumentation in the Auditory-Visual Core Facility. Aim 4 is to provide training for Project Leads, their staff and others. Aim 5 is to implement procedures to ensure long-term sustainability of the Technology Core. In Phase I, we initiated a process of providing unique and innovative solutions for the needs of Project Leads, which led to the development of several powerful software and hardware tools, including the completion of a state-of-the-art audio-visual research facility. In Phase II, we plan to continue such endeavors, taking into account the newly-expanded pool of research investigators at BTNRH, their needs and technical capabilities, while ensuring the future productivity of both the TC and the scientists it serves. To achieve these aims, the TC has been uniquely re-envisioned to include a cross-functional team of engineers as well as an experienced statistical consultant, incorporating efficient workflow design to ensure rapid responsiveness to investigators’ needs, as well as resources to continue training and career-development for the TC team. The plan includes a formal process to ensure that the tools and software generated by the TC can be made available to investigators at BTNRH and shared by scientists at other institutions as well. The expanded, innovative capabilities of the TC will further enhance the rich scientific environment of the Center for Perception and Communication in Children.
