CORE B: TECHNOLOGY CORE

项目总结/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 支持所有从事与儿童感知和沟通有关的研究的BTNRH调查人员。 根据我们在第一阶段的经验，它有五个具体目标。目标1：交付 创新的实验室计算、工程和数据采集支持。目标2：提供专家 统计分析和探索性数据分析指南。目标3是开发尖端软件， 视听核心设施中的仪器。目标4是为项目负责人及其工作人员提供培训 等人目标5是实施程序，确保技术核心的长期可持续性。在 第一阶段，我们启动了一个过程，为项目负责人的需求提供独特的创新解决方案， 这导致了几个强大的软件和硬件工具的开发，包括完成一个 最先进的视听研究设施在第二阶段，我们计划继续这样的努力， 考虑到BTNRH新扩大的研究人员库，他们的需求和技术能力， 同时确保TC及其服务的科学家的未来生产力。为了实现这些目标，TC 已经独特地重新设想，包括一个跨职能的工程师团队，以及经验丰富的 统计咨询人，采用高效的工作流程设计，确保对调查人员的 需要，以及资源，继续培训和职业发展的技术合作团队。该计划包括 正式流程，以确保技术合作生成的工具和软件可用于 BTNRH的研究人员和其他机构的科学家也分享了这一点。扩大，创新 技术中心的能力将进一步增强感知中心丰富的科学环境， 儿童沟通。

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.
