Project description:Purpose The purpose of this introduction is to provide an overview of the articles contained within this forum of Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (JSLHR). Each of these articles is based upon presentations from the Research Symposium at the 2018 annual convention of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association held in Boston, MA.

Project description:The annual National Conference on Health Disparities (NCHD) was launched in 2000. It unites health professionals, researchers, community leaders, and government officials, and is a catalyzing force in developing policies, research interventions, and programs that address prevention, social determinants, health disparities, and health equity. The NCHD Student Research Forum (SRF) was established in 2011 at the Medical University of South Carolina to build high-quality biomedical research presentation capacity in primarily underrepresented undergraduate and graduate/professional students. This paper describes the unique research training and professional development aspects of the NCHD SRF. These include guidance in abstract development, a webinar on presentation techniques and methods, a vibrant student-centric conference, and professional development workshops on finding a mentor and locating scholarship/fellowship funding, networking, and strategies for handling ethical issues in research with mentors. Between 2011 and 2018, 400 undergraduate and graduate/professional students participated in the NCHD SRF. Most students were women (80.5%). Approximately half were African American or black (52.3%), 18.0% were white, and 21.3% were of Hispanic/Latinx ethnicity. The NCHD SRF is unique in several ways. First, it provides detailed instructions on developing a scientific abstract, including content area examples. Second, it establishes a mandatory pre-conference training webinar demonstrating how to prepare a scientific poster. Third, it works with the research mentors, faculty advisors, department chairs, and deans to help identify potential sources of travel funding for students with accepted abstracts. These features make the NCHD SRF different from many other conferences focused on students' scientific presentations.

Project description:Every two years, the Global Vaccine and Immunization Research Forum takes stock of global research in vaccines and immunization. As in prior years, the 2018 meeting addressed vaccine discovery, development, decision-making, and deployment. This time, however, it also featured two overarching themes: "Innovating for Equity" and "End-to-End Integration." Significant advances have been made in the last two years, but participants noted that some important goals of the Global Vaccine Action Plan are not being met and called urgently for innovation in improving access to vaccines. Two factors were highlighted as crucial to improving coverage: a focus on equity and sustainability throughout the immunization ecosystem, and an enabling political environment that prioritizes health and immunization.

Project description:The 2017 International Forum on Gonococcal Infections and Resistance (2017 IFGIR) was held at Shenzhen, China from September 17, 2017, to September 19, 2017. The key objectives of the conference were to review and analyze the epidemiological profiles of gonococcal infections and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at global, regional, and national levels; to share and discuss findings from ongoing and completed research studies; and to identify research needs to respond to the spread of gonococcal infections and AMR. The following contents were presented at the conference: global estimates of infections with Neisseria gonorrhoeae; global, regional and country status of gonococcal AMR; molecular techniques for predicting gonococcal AMR and the use of these technologies to enhance gonococcal AMR surveillance and clinical management; and updates on therapeutic approaches to gonococcal AMR.

Project description:BackgroundBarriers to achieving work-life balance, as well as gender-based differences, exist in the male-dominated surgical specialty in veterinary medicine. Similar information does not exist for the more feminized American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM).Hypothesis/objectivesTo provide data on the professional and personal lives of Diplomates of the ACVIM so as to help define the state of the specialty, including gender-related differences, and identify areas requiring intervention to improve work-life balance.SampleA total of 896 surveys (781 completed) of Diplomates of the ACVIM, including cardiology, large animal internal medicine, neurology, oncology, and small animal internal medicine.MethodsAn 82-item online survey was distributed in February 2017 to ACVIM Diplomates via their respective ACVIM listserv. Participation was voluntary.ResultsThirty percent of the total ACVIM registered membership responded and 26% completed surveys; 25% were men and 75% were women. Specialists in academia worked significantly more hours, with larger numbers of diplomates per specialty section, and made less money compared with those in private practice. Women were less likely to report full-time employment, practice ownership, or higher academic rank, and reported 20% lower income overall (after adjustment for relevant factors) as compared with men. Men and women differed in their subjective assessment of the effect of gender in the workplace. Eighty-three percent of respondents were somewhat satisfied or better with their career.Conclusions and clinical importanceSpecialization in the ACVIM is a satisfying and potentially profitable career. However, despite a highly feminized workforce, significant gender-related imbalances are evident.

Project description:ObjectivesTo elucidate the research training exposure of radiology residents across ESR country members.MethodsA 30-question survey was constructed by the Radiology Trainee Forum and was distributed among residents and subspecialty fellows of countries members of the ESR. The survey examined the training environment, the status of research training and publications among trainees, the conditions under which research was conducted, and the exposure to activities such as grant proposal preparation and manuscript reviewing. Descriptive statistics and the chi-square test were used to assess the responses to survey questions and evaluate factors related to these responses.ResultsA total of 159 participants from 29 countries provided fully completed questionnaires. Only 12/159 trainees already had a PhD degree and nearly half had never published a PubMed-indexed manuscript (76/159, 47.8%). Among those who published their papers during radiology training, most did so in the first or second year of residency (n = 26 and n = 20 participants, respectively). Most participants (79%) did not receive further statistical training during residency, fifty-five out of 159 (34.59%) respondents never had any guidance/training on how to read a paper and 58 out of 159 (36.48%) had never been encouraged to participate in any research. Most of them had worked after hours to carry out research at least a few times (47/159, 29.56%) or always (82/159, 51.57%).ConclusionAnalysis of research training among radiology trainees was performed. Areas for improvement were identified that can prompt changes in training curricula to prepare a highly competent European workforce.Critical relevance statementThis survey has identified deficits in research training of radiology residents across countries members of ESR, pinpointing areas for improvement to fortify the future of radiology in Europe.Key pointsResearch exposure and training of radiology residents varies across countries and members of ESR. Radiology residents largely lack systematic research training, dedicated research time, and guidance. Areas for improvement in research training of radiology residents have been identified, aiding the fortification of radiology research across Europe.
