Building the Next Generation of Clinical Researchers - American Auditory Society

描述（由申请人提供）：本会议拨款提案旨在通过在四个领域提供支持，以促进听力和平衡领域的临床研究和患者支持，以支持加强美国听觉学会年会。要求提供以下支持：1)四场转化研究讲座，2)一场特别的跨学科会议（由三名额外的演讲者组成，并基于一个转化研究主题设定的主题），3)一名青年研究员在学生驻地海报会议之前的一次讲座，以及4)竞争性的学生和驻地研究海报会议（20张海报）。转化研究讲座提供支持，邀请相关领域的杰出前沿科学家，他们通常可能不会参加，来展示他们的研究。这些演讲对AAS的参与者来说是令人振奋和兴奋的。跨学科会议允许深入扩展转化科学家所讨论的主题之一，包括来自类似研究领域的互补学科的其他人的演讲。要求支持一名青年研究员为研究生，博士后研究员和住院医师提供鼓舞人心的演讲。该奖项旨在表彰早期杰出的科学家，也有助于激励有抱负的科学家和临床医生。为了完善我们的领域，我们建议支持20（20）名研究生或耳鼻喉科住院医师适度的旅行奖励，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，为他们提供一个与经验丰富的临床科学家讨论他们的研究的场所，并利用AAS会议提供的刺激的讲座和互动的机会。会议的摘要和信息摘要将在会议上分发，并以索引方式发布在网站上。这一努力的结果将根据与会者的总体印象来判断，并在每次会议后通过调查和问卷加以监测。这些信息每年由会议计划委员会审查，并纳入未来的计划。

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.
