PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The funds requested in this application are for partial support of the workshop “The Mouse as an Instrument for Ear Research VII”, to be held at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, on September 18–23, 2016. This workshop is one of a kind and will focus on comparative, translational aspects of characterizing auditory and vestibular function in mouse models of human hereditary hearing and balance disorders. It represents an intensive training opportunity for graduate students, postdocs and investigators wishing to gain expertise in characterizing mouse auditory and vestibular function. This workshop is for a small number of participants and includes classroom lectures in the morning, followed by hands-on laboratory sessions in the afternoon. The primary aims of this workshop are to provide practical laboratory training and didactic instruction to students and to promote communication between students, postdocs and faculty in various fields of biology related to hearing and balance, with a focus on the realized and potential applications of the mouse to their field of study. Toward this end, students, postdocs and established investigators from several disciplines will have an opportunity to share new ideas, identify potential collaborations and help chart a course for their future research. Lectures will be offered in the Highseas Conference Center, and hands on sessions will be held at The Jackson Laboratory main campus in the Applied Genetics Training Laboratory. In an era of expanding mouse model resources, practical training in phenotyping and related methodologies will continue to be of enormous benefit to researchers in the field. The only current educational offerings that address auditory biology and disease are either large amorphous society meetings or limited-entry workshops that require more than a two-week time commitment.
