Lessons for Success Research Conference: Developing Emerging Scientists in Commun

描述(由申请人提供)：一门学科的长期生存取决于其研究基础的健康。为了发展、壮大和保持这一基础，传播科学与障碍(CSD)领域--与相关学科一样--必须继续培养能够支持其推进传播科学和培养言语语言病理学家和听觉学家的使命的学者。不幸的是，CSD在这方面受到了特别的挑战，正如它在吸引和留住活跃于研究的教员方面所记录的困难所表明的那样。为了缓解这一担忧，CSD领域认识到支持具有巨大前途的新兴科学家的重要性，这些科学家是维持和扩大CSD科学基础的关键个人。有鉴于此，本申请寻求支持一系列为期五天、为期21天半的研究会议，旨在提高培养科学家成功成为CSD学科有影响力的学者所需的技能。这些会议的目标是在以下领域为选定的一批新兴科学家提供强化培训：(A)资助和准备，(B)竞争性研究计划的开发和管理，以及(C)发展富有成效的研究事业所需的专业能力。请拨资金支持最多25个博士前和博士后旅行奖项以及一些演讲者的旅行。额外的演讲者旅费和其他会议费用将由美国演讲语言听力协会(ASHA)和美国演讲语言听力基金会(ASHF)支付。公共卫生相关性：CSD学科内的研究界的首要目标是促进沟通、吞咽和平衡障碍的预防、识别和干预的科学基础，并改善受这些障碍影响的人的生活质量。一年一度的成功经验研究会议旨在指导、教育和加强在CSD从事基础和应用研究事业的新研究人员的承诺。本申请寻求支持一系列为期五天、为期21天半的研究会议，旨在提高培养科学家成功成为CSD学科中有影响力的学者所需的技能。这些会议的目标是在以下领域为选定的一批新兴科学家提供强化培训：(A)资助和准备，(B)竞争性研究计划的开发和管理，以及(C)发展富有成效的研究事业所需的专业能力。请拨资金支持多达25个博士前和博士后旅行奖项以及一些演讲者的旅行。公共卫生相关性：CSD学科内的研究界的首要目标是促进沟通、吞咽和平衡障碍的预防、识别和干预的科学基础，并改善受这些障碍影响的人的生活质量。一年一度的成功经验研究会议旨在指导、教育和加强在CSD从事基础和应用研究事业的新研究人员的承诺。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term viability of a discipline rests upon the health of its research base. To develop, grow and maintain this base, the field of communication sciences and disorders (CSD) - not unlike related disciplines - must continue to develop scholars who can support its mission of advancing the science of communication and educating speech-language pathologists and audiologists. Unfortunately, CSD is particularly challenged in this regard, as indicated by its documented difficulty in attracting and retaining research-active faculty. To ameliorate this concern, the field of CSD has recognized the importance of supporting emerging scientists who show great promise, individuals critical for maintaining and extending the scientific base of CSD. Given the above, this application seeks support for a series of five, 21/2 day research conferences designed to enhance the skills needed for developing scientists to be successful in becoming influential scholars in the discipline of CSD. The goal of these conferences is to provide intensive training to a select group of emerging scientists in the areas of (a) grant funding and preparation, (b) development and management of competitive research programs, and (c) development of professional competencies needed for a productive research career. Funds are requested to support up to 25 pre- and postdoctoral travel awards and some speaker travel. Additional speaker travel costs and other meeting expenses would be paid by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), and the American Speech- Language-Hearing Foundation (ASHF). Public Health Relevance: The overarching objective of the research community within the discipline of CSD is to advance the scientific bases for the prevention, identification, and intervention of communication, swallowing, and balance disorders and to improve the quality of life of those affected by these disorders. The annual Lessons for Success Research Conference is designed to mentor, educate, and strengthen the commitment of new investigators who are pursuing basic and applied research careers in CSD.
