 描述(由申请人提供)：本申请是对每年在威斯康星州麦迪逊市莫诺纳泰瑞斯会议中心举行的儿童语言障碍研究研讨会(SRCLD)的五年持续支持。本次研讨会由威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校传播科学与疾病学系和NIDCD/NICHD主办，并通过注册费和捐款获得资金。SRCLD是唯一一个专门研究儿童语言障碍的全国性会议。在过去的34年里，作为一次高质量的科学会议，这次会议在儿童语言研究人员中取得了突出的成就，促进了专业研究人员和博士生在培训中交流理论、实验和方法方面的进步。过去的项目包括来自传播科学和障碍及相关学科领域的知名研究人员的多次受邀全体演讲，并包括越来越多的研究论文(作为海报演讲或简短的口头演讲)。SRCLD会议的影响已经在几个领域得到了记录，包括其独特的重点、项目的增长和质量，以及学生参与会议各个方面的程度。国家卫生研究院需要资金为受邀演讲者提供旅费和每日津贴，为学生演讲者提供差旅支持，为一名行政协调员提供部分支持，在会议期间提供网站管理和技术支持。自2010年开始提供最后一笔赠款以来，所取得的进展包括：1)扩大方案，平均超过120个海报展示和6个受邀的最先进的全体会议(2010-2011年)，或3个受邀的全体演讲者和6到9个提交的口头演讲(2012-2014年)；2)通过国立卫生研究院的学生旅行基金和私人捐款，在过去五年中平均支持37名学生(2004年为22名学生)，学生旅行奖获得者中28%为代表不足的少数族裔和80%为女性；3)网站继续进步，以在线提交和登记以及摘要档案为特色；以及4)研究儿童学习各种语言的研究人员增加了国际参与，在上一次赠款期间，平均每年有11个不同的国家。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This request is for five years of continuing support for the Symposium on Research in Child Language Disorders (SRCLD) held annually at the Monona Terrace Convention Center in Madison, Wisconsin. This symposium is sponsored by the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Wisconsin-Madison and by NIDCD/NICHD, as well as attaining funding through registration fees and donations. SRCLD is the only national conference devoted solely to child language disorders research. Over the past 34 years this meeting has achieved the distinction among child language researchers as a high quality scientific meeting which fosters the exchange of theoretical, experimental, and methodological advances among professional researchers and doctoral students in training. Past programs have featured multiple invited plenary presentations by prominent researchers from the field of communication sciences and disorders and related disciplines and have included increasing numbers of research papers (as poster presentations or short oral presentations). The impact of the SRCLD conference has been documented in several areas including its unique focus, program growth and quality, and the extent of student participation in all aspects of the conference. NIH funds are requested to provide travel and per diem for invited speakers, travel support for student presenters, partial support for an administrative coordinator, website management, and technical support during the meeting. Progress since the last grant began in 2010 includes: 1) an expanded program averaging over 120 poster presentations and six invited state-of-the-art plenary sessions (2010- 2011) or three invited plenary speakers and six to nine submitted oral talks (2012 -2014); 2) support of an average of 37 students during the last five years (up from 22 students in 2004) through NIH student travel funds and private donations, with student travel award recipients consisting of 28% under-represented minorities and 80% women; 3) continued advances in the website which features online submission and registration as well as abstract archives; and 4) increased international participation by researchers studying children learning a variety of languages, representing an average of 11 different countries each year during the last grant period.
