Building the Next Generation of Clinical Researchers - American Auditory Society

描述（由申请人提供）：该会议拨款提案寻求支持，通过在四个领域提供支持来加强美国听觉学会的年会，旨在刺激听力和平衡领域的临床研究和患者支持。支持要求提供1）四个翻译研究讲座，2）一个特殊的跨学科会议（由三个额外的扬声器和基于一个主题设置的翻译研究主题之一），3）一个讲座由一个年轻的研究员之前的学生居民海报会议，和4）竞争的学生和居民研究海报会议（20海报）。翻译研究讲座提供支持，邀请来自相关领域的杰出，前沿科学家，他们可能不会普遍参与，介绍他们的研究。这些演讲对AAS的参与者来说是刺激和令人兴奋的。跨学科会议允许深入扩展翻译科学家所讨论的主题之一，包括来自互补学科的其他人在类似研究领域的演讲。要求支持一名年轻的研究人员提供一个鼓舞人心的谈话，专门针对研究生，博士后研究员和居民。该奖项承认科学家的早期卓越，也有助于激励有抱负的科学家和临床医生。为了完成我们的领域的增强，我们建议支持二十（20）研究生或耳鼻喉科居民与适度的旅行奖，以海报的形式介绍他们的研究。这种机制旨在鼓励勤奋的学生，为他们提供一个场所，与更有经验的临床科学家讨论他们的研究，并利用AAS会议提供的刺激性讲座和互动机会。会议资料的摘要和概要将在会上分发，并以索引方式张贴在网站上。这一奋进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进行监测。这些信息每年由会议规划委员会审查，并纳入未来的计划。 公共卫生相关性：该项目旨在加强基础科学家，临床医生（医生，听力学家，言语语言病理学家）和那些在听力和平衡障碍领域的应用行业工作的人之间的沟通，为美国听觉学会年会上的专业演讲提供支持。这些讲座和系列是专门设计来刺激互动，并提供科学的翻译机制，关注临床需求和工业独创性的应用，以加强临床实践。该提案还提供了鼓励研究生、博士后研究员和对临床研究感兴趣的居民通过旅行奖学金计划的机制，使他们能够向更有经验的基础和应用研究人员展示他们的研究。

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. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project seeks to enhance communication among basic scientists, clinicians (physicians, audiologists, speech-language pathologists) and those working in applied industry in the area of hearing and balance disorders by providing support for specialized presentations at the annual meeting of the American Auditory Society. These lectures and series are specifically designed to stimulate interaction and provide mechanisms for translation of science, attention to clinical needs and application of industrial ingenuity to enhance clinical practice. This proposal also provides mechanisms to encourage graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and residents interested in clinical research through a travel-scholarship program that allows them to present their research to more seasoned basic and applied researchers.
