Project Summary This application requests funds to continue a training program in auditory and vestibular neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh. Resources to support three predoctoral and two postdoctoral trainees per year are requested. While considerable progress has been made in identifying the genetic and molecular bases of inner ear deficits, the biological bases of centrally-generated hearing and balance disorders, which are increasingly recognized as major contributors to auditory and vestibular dysfunction, are still poorly understood. The proposed program is intended to generate auditory and vestibular scientists who can address these problems, through training in basic neuroscience and the clinical aspects of hearing and balance disorders. A group of 17 preceptors who are committed to auditory and vestibular neuroscience research and to recruit and educate outstanding pre- and postdoctoral fellows will comprise the training faculty. The research methodology employed by the preceptors ranges from cellular and molecular to developmental to systems and cognition using a variety of model systems, including humans, ensuring that trainees are exposed to the breadth and variety of technical and conceptual approaches that define modern research in the field. In addition to conducting research, trainees participate in a course covering basic and translational auditory and vestibular neuroscience, attend monthly research seminars, and participate in a series of professional development workshops that provide explicit training in such “survival skills” as written and oral communication, obtaining jobs and grants, teaching, and managing a research lab. All trainees must submit a fellowship application as part of the program, the writing of which will be facilitated by periodic meetings with a local committee that provides advice and guidance, as well as utilizing grant-writing workshops provided by the Office of Academic Career Development. Training in the responsible scientific conduct and scientific rigor is an integral part of professional development workshops, the core curriculum, and laboratory training. A solid structure is in place to mentor the trainees and monitor their progress through the program. The program is supported by a local steering committee and an external advisory board.
