DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The fields of audiology and speech-language pathology are currently facing an acute shortage of Ph.D.- trained researchers to advance the scientific bases of clinical practice and to train future practitioners. The goals of this training program are 1) to attract the most highly qualified students in our graduate clinical training programs to the Ph.D. program and 2) to provide these students with the research training needed to pursue a successful research career that supports on the clinical aspects of communication disorders. Three students per year who are enrolled in the department's graduate clinical training programs for audiologists or speech-language pathologists will be recruited into the T32 Ph.D. training program. Students will complete a three year training period, the focus of which is the preparation of scientists with clinical credentials, who are prepared to conduct clinically-relevant research in audiology and speech pathology. The T32 training program is designed to integrate Ph.D.-level research-focused training with the requirements of the graduate clinical training programs. The program includes a strong emphasis on clinical research methods, mentored laboratory research experiences, grantsmanship, the ethical conduct of research, and teaching. Students will transition from the T32 to the department's regular doctoral program to complete their Ph.D. degree requirements, fully prepared for a research-oriented academic career. Relevance: This program will directly address the significant personnel shortage in the health-related professions of audiology and speech-language pathology by increasing the number of clinically trained researchers in these fields. The clinical research training of these individuals will position them to improve service delivery to individuals with communication disorders and to educate the next generation of clinicians.

描述(由申请人提供)：听力学和言语-语言病理学领域目前面临着博士培养的研究人员的严重短缺，以促进临床实践的科学基础和培训未来的从业者。该培训计划的目标是1)吸引我们研究生临床培训计划中最合格的学生进入博士项目，2)为这些学生提供必要的研究培训，以追求成功的研究生涯，支持沟通障碍的临床方面。每年有三名学生参加该系针对听力学或言语语言病理学家的研究生临床培训计划，他们将被招募到T32博士培训计划中。学生将完成为期三年的培训，重点是培养具有临床资质的科学家，他们准备进行与临床相关的听力学和语言病理学研究。T32培训计划旨在将博士水平的以研究为重点的培训与研究生临床培训计划的要求相结合。该计划包括对临床研究方法、有指导的实验室研究经验、赠款精神、研究的道德行为和教学的高度重视。学生将从T32过渡到系的常规博士课程，以完成他们的博士学位要求，为以研究为导向的学术生涯做好充分准备。相关性：该计划将通过增加在听力学和言语-语言病理学领域接受过临床培训的研究人员的数量，直接解决与健康相关的听力学和语言病理学专业的严重人员短缺问题。对这些人的临床研究培训将使他们能够改善对患有沟通障碍的个人的服务交付，并教育下一代临床医生。
