Short-Term Research Training for AuD Students

项目总结/摘要 短期研究培训计划的目的，为澳大利亚学生在男孩镇国家 研究医院（BTNRH）将提供为期3个月的全职实践转化研究经验， 每年有五名博士生。该计划的动机是缺乏听力学家谁从事 研究生涯。通过让AuD学生接触密集的研究经验，我们有一个独特的机会 鼓励AuD学生考虑博士学位或以其他方式追求临床/转化研究事业。每个 学员将参与研究项目的各个方面，目前在22个BTNRH实验室之一工作 进行与听力学相关的翻译研究，因为它涉及听力，前庭，认知和/或 言语/语言科学。22名实验室主任中的大多数都有R 01形式的校外支持， R21赠款。学员将与BTNRH教师导师谁拥有丰富的经验，在临床工作 面向多学科的研究环境。主要的研究经验将包括（1）完成 一个研究项目，包括研究的设计、实施、数据收集和分析;（2） 在次年春天的美国听觉学会会议上报告研究项目的结果;（3） 强制参加研究中负责任行为的课程;（4）强制参加课程 在研究过程中，与其他T35计划，（5）参与期刊组;（6） 参加研讨会和座谈会;（7）与每个学员的导师经常互动，非正式 与研究人员进行讨论，并参与社区参与活动。之前 研究参与，学员将完成CITI培训课程，涉及人类的研究 科目学员将受益于BTNRH教师的经验，他们指导了博士后研究员 (as我们的T32培训计划的一部分），为来自不同国家的AuD和博士生提供研究培训。 大学，并指导谁参加了过去15年的T35计划的AuD学员。学员将 能够集中获得人类受试者招募、临床测量和技术资源， 协助受试者招募、数据收集/培训、计算机软件/硬件支持的人员， 和统计分析。受训人员将从全国范围内的AuD项目中招募，并特别努力确定 并从代表性不足的人群中招募学员。将使用几种措施来评估该计划的 成功与否，包括（1）收到的申请数量和质量，（2）每个人完成的离职问卷 培训生，（3）调查问卷发送给AuD计划主任关于T35培训对他们的影响 学生，（4）从每个培训产生的出版物的数量，（5）谁追求的受训人数 一个博士学位，准备在研究的职业生涯，和（6）受训人员谁获得的职位，研究 强调。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The objective of the Short-Term Research Training Program for AuD Students at Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) is to provide a 3-month, full-time, hands-on translational research experience to five predoctoral AuD students per year. This program is motivated by a shortage of audiologists who engage in research careers. By exposing AuD students to an intensive research experience, we have a unique opportunity to encourage AuD students to consider a PhD or otherwise pursue clinical/translational research careers. Each trainee will be involved in all aspects of a research project, working in one of 22 BTNRH laboratories currently conducting translational research related to audiology as it pertains to hearing, vestibular, cognition, and/or speech/language sciences. Most of the 22 laboratory directors have extramural support in the form of R01 and R21 grants. Trainees will work with BTNRH faculty mentors who have extensive experience working in a clinically oriented, multidisciplinary research environment. The primary research experience will include (1) completion of a research project that includes the design, implementation, data collection, and analyses for the study; (2) reporting results of the research project at the American Auditory Society meeting the following spring; (3) mandatory participation in a course in responsible conduct in research; (4) mandatory participation in a course on the research process, in tandem with the other T35 programs, (5) participation in journal groups; (6) attendance at seminars and colloquia; and (7) frequent interactions with each trainee’s mentor, informal discussions with members of the research faculty and participation in community engagement events. Prior to research participation, trainees will complete the CITI training course related to research involving human subjects. Trainees will benefit from the experience of BTNRH faculty who have mentored postdoctoral fellows (as part of our T32 training program), provided research training to AuD and PhD students from various universities, and mentored AuD trainees who participated in the past 15 years of the T35 program. Trainees will have access to centralized human subjects recruitment, clinical measurement and technology resources and personnel for assistance with subject recruitment, data collection/training, computer software/hardware support, and statistical analyses. Trainees will be recruited from AuD programs nationally, with special efforts to identify and recruit trainees from under-represented populations. Several measures will be used to assess the program’s success including (1) the number and quality of applications received, (2) exit questionnaires completed by each trainee, (3) questionnaires sent to AuD program directors regarding the impact of the T35 traineeship on their students, (4) the number of publications resulting from each traineeship, (5) the number of trainees who pursue a PhD in preparation for a career in research, and (6) the number of trainees who obtain positions where research is emphasized.
