Building the Next Generation of Clinical Researchers - American Auditory Society

描述(由申请者提供)：这项会议拨款提案寻求通过在四个领域提供支持来加强美国听觉学会的年度会议，旨在刺激听力和平衡领域的临床研究和患者支持。请提供支助，以提供1)4场翻译研究讲座，2)一次跨学科特别会议(由另外3名发言者组成，以其中一项翻译研究专题为基础)，3)一名青年调查员在学生-常驻海报会议之前的一次讲座，以及4)竞争性学生和常驻研究海报会议(20张海报)。翻译研究讲座为邀请相关领域的杰出、尖端科学家介绍他们的研究提供了支持，这些科学家可能通常不会参与。这些演讲对AAS的与会者来说是激动人心和令人兴奋的。跨学科会议允许深入扩展翻译科学家所讨论的主题之一，包括来自从事类似研究领域的互补学科的其他人的发言。请求支持一名青年研究员，以提供专门针对研究生、博士后研究员和住院医生的鼓舞人心的演讲。该奖项表彰科学家早期的卓越表现，也有助于激励有抱负的科学家和临床医生。为了完成我们领域的增强，我们建议支持二十(20)名研究生或耳鼻喉科住院医生以适度的旅行奖励以海报的形式展示他们的研究。这一机制旨在鼓励勤奋的学生，为他们提供一个与更有经验的临床科学家讨论他们的研究的场所，并利用AAS会议提供的鼓舞人心的讲座和互动机会。会议的信息摘要和摘要将在会议上分发，并以编入索引的方式张贴在网站上。这项努力的结果将根据与会者的总体印象来判断，每次会议后将通过调查和问卷对这些印象进行监测。会议计划委员会每年都会审查这些信息，并将其纳入未来的计划中。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This conference grant proposal seeks support for enhancing the annual meeting of the American Auditory Society by providing support in four areas, designed to stimulate clinical research and patient support in the area of hearing and balance. Support is requested to provide 1) four Translational Research Lectures, 2) a special Interdisciplinary Session (made up of three additional speakers and based on a topic set by one of the translational research topics), 3) one lecture by a Young Investigator to precede the Student-Resident poster session, and 4) competitive Student and Resident Research Poster Session (20 posters). The Translational Research Lectures provide support to invite prominent, cutting-edge scientists from related fields, who might not generally participate, to present their research. These presentations have been stimulating and exciting for the AAS participants. The Interdisciplinary Session allows for an in-depth expansion of one of the topics addressed by a Translational Scientist, by including presentations by others from complementary disciplines working on a similar area of research. Support for one Young Investigator is requested to provide an inspirational talk aimed specifically towards graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and residents. This award acknowledges early excellence in the scientist and also serves to motivate aspiring scientists and clinicians. To complete the enhancement of our field we propose to support twenty (20) graduate students or otolaryngology residents with a modest travel award to present their research in the form of a poster. This mechanism is designed to encourage hard-working students, to provide them with a venue to discuss their research with more seasoned clinical scientists and to take advantage of the stimulating lectures and opportunities to interact provided by the AAS meeting. Abstracts and summaries of the information from the meetings will be distributed at the meeting and posted on the website in an indexed manner. The outcome of this endeavor will be judged by the overall impressions of the participants which will be monitored after each meeting by surveys and questionnaires. This information is reviewed annually by the meeting planning committee and incorporated into future programs.
