DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks partial support for the 2011 Conference on Implantable Auditory Prostheses, scheduled to be held at the Asilomar Conference Grounds, Pacific Grove, CA, July 24- 29, 2011. The cochlear implant is the first neural prosthesis in widespread clinical application, due to its evident successes. It provides the only effective therapy for restoring sound sensation and speech understanding to the profoundly deaf. Over the past 20 years dramatic improvements in patients' performance with these devices have been achieved. Currently the average speech understanding score for implanted postlingually deafened adults is between 80-100% correct. Congenitally deaf children are achieving normal rates of speech and language development with cochlear implants, as long as they are implanted early enough. These advances have benefitted substantially from the collective efforts of researchers in a broad array of scientific disciplines. This close collaboration and cooperation has been fostered in large part through this series of biennial research conferences, originating with a 1983 Gordon Conference. These conferences are the only forum related to cochlear implants in which scientific research issues are the sole focus. The long-term goal of this conference series is to generate new research ideas that will improve the design and function of auditory prostheses. The Specific Aims of this proposal are (1) to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest and highest quality basic research on cochlear implants and other auditory prostheses, (2) to provide a meeting venue and atmosphere that is conducive to scientific discussion and brainstorming, and (3) to provide an opportunity for young investigators in the field to present their work and network with established investigators. The CIAP conferences use the Gordon Research Conference model of organization, which includes ample time for discussion within the program, ample unstructured time to encourage spontaneous informal discussions and brainstorming, and an isolated location so that participants spend almost all their waking hours in the company of other conference participants. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This proposal seeks partial support for a biennial international conference on basic research on cochlear implants and other forms of prosthetic hearing. This conference provides a unique forum for scientists to share their latest research and to brainstorm about future directions in research.

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请寻求对2011年可植入听觉假体会议的部分支持，该会议定于2011年7月24-29日在加利福尼亚州太平洋格罗夫的Asilomar会议场地举行。人工耳蜗术是第一个广泛应用于临床的神经假体，因其取得了明显的成功。它为恢复重度聋人的声音感觉和言语理解提供了唯一有效的治疗方法。在过去的20年里，患者使用这些设备的表现得到了戏剧性的改善。目前，植入后语言失聪的成年人的平均语音理解得分在80%-100%之间。先天性耳聋儿童通过植入人工耳蜗，只要足够早地植入，就能实现正常的言语和语言发育速度。这些进展从众多科学学科的研究人员的集体努力中受益匪浅。这种密切的协作和合作在很大程度上是通过这一系列两年一次的研究会议促进的，该会议始于1983年的一次戈登会议。这些会议是唯一与人工耳蜗术相关的论坛，其中科学研究问题是唯一的焦点。这一系列会议的长期目标是产生新的研究想法，以改进听觉假体的设计和功能。这项提议的具体目的是(1)提供一个论坛，介绍和讨论关于人工耳蜗和其他听觉假体的最新和最高质量的基础研究；(2)提供一个有利于科学讨论和集思广益的会议场所和氛围；以及(3)为该领域的年轻研究人员提供一个机会，介绍他们的工作和与现有研究人员建立网络。CIAP会议使用戈登研究会议的组织模式，其中包括在计划内有充足的讨论时间，充足的非结构化时间来鼓励自发的非正式讨论和集思广益，以及一个与世隔绝的地点，使与会者几乎所有醒着的时间都与其他会议参与者在一起。 与公共卫生相关：这项提议寻求对两年一次的关于人工耳蜗植入和其他形式的假耳基础研究的国际会议的部分支持。这次会议为科学家提供了一个独特的论坛，让他们分享他们的最新研究成果，并集思广益，讨论未来的研究方向。
