DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a resubmission of our renewal proposal requesting an additional five years of T35 funding to support a three-month summer training program at the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research (NCRAR) for students enrolled in a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) clinical degree program. We request funding to cover four students annually for the duration of the grant. Gabrielle Saunders, Ph.D. will be the Program Director. She will be assisted by an Advisory Committee. The long-term objective of our program is to increase the number of individuals with a clinical Au.D. who go on to pursue a Ph.D. and a career in research audiology. The NCRAR is a VA-funded research center consisting of 15 Ph.D. investigators, 12 of whom are T-35 faculty. NCRAR research focuses on diagnosis, rehabilitation and prevention of auditory disorders through human studies, through translational and applied studies, many of which use clinical methodologies to obtain data. It thus has particular appeal and application to the clinical Au.D. students, for whom the program is designed. During the summer, each student works with their mentor to design and conduct a research project, while also working in their mentor's laboratory, attending courses held by NCRAR faculty and guests, participating in NCRAR journal groups, meetings and seminars, holding discussions with each NCRAR Investigator, attending a summer audiology conference and visiting other local research facilities. Finally, students are required to present their mentored research project to members of the NCRAR, and at the American Auditory Society annual meeting. They are also encouraged to work with their mentor to publish the findings of this project. All students enrolled in an accredited Au.D. program are eligible to participate. The program is publicized via mailings to Au.D. Department Chairs, on the NCRAR website, and at audiology conferences throughout the year. To apply, students must send a statement of interest describing what they hope to gain from the traineeship, curriculum vitae, at least two letters of recommendation and an applicant evaluation form completed by their Au.D. program advisor. Applications are evaluated by the NCRAR faculty using undergraduate GPA, letters of recommendation, the content of their personal statement and the applicant evaluation form as metrics. To date, 20 students have participated in the NCRAR T35 training program. Twelve of the past trainees have now graduated from their Au.D. programs. Four of our past students are now enrolled in Ph.D. programs, two are research audiologists, and the others have chosen a clinical pathway. These data, combined with highly positive evaluations from participating students, Au.D. program faculty (see letters of support), and the NCRAR faculty demonstrates that our program successfully accomplishes the goals of the NIH T35 training program, which is to increase the number of Au.D. graduates pursuing a career in auditory research.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是我们的续期提案的重新提交，要求额外的五年T35资金，以支持在国家听觉康复研究中心（NCRAR）为听力学博士（aud）临床学位课程注册的学生提供为期三个月的夏季培训计划。我们要求在资助期间每年资助四名学生。加布里埃尔·桑德斯博士将担任项目主管。她将得到咨询委员会的协助。我们项目的长期目标是增加临床aud患者的数量。他们将继续攻读博士学位，并从事听力学研究。NCRAR是一个由va资助的研究中心，由15名博士组成，其中12名是T-35的教员。NCRAR的研究重点是通过人体研究、转化研究和应用研究来诊断、康复和预防听觉障碍，其中许多研究使用临床方法来获取数据。因此，它对临床aud具有特殊的吸引力和应用。学生，该课程是为他们设计的。在夏季，每个学生与他们的导师一起设计和开展一个研究项目，同时也在他们导师的实验室工作，参加由NCRAR教师和嘉宾举办的课程，参加NCRAR期刊小组，会议和研讨会，与每位NCRAR调查员进行讨论，参加夏季听力学会议并参观其他当地研究机构。最后，学生需要向NCRAR的成员和美国听觉学会年会上展示他们的指导研究项目。他们也被鼓励与他们的导师一起发表这个项目的研究结果。所有被认可的aud注册的学生。都有资格参加。的
