This U.S.-Latin America award will support a workshop to promote international scientific collaboration in neuroendocrinology between researchers from South America and the United States. The workshop will be held in August 2011 in Viña del Mar, Chile, prior to the Society for Reproduction conference. The primary goal of the workshop is to further develop collaborations on the molecular mechanisms of steroid hormone regulation and neuronal activity between researchers from the United States, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. The organizers are specifically interested in gaining a better understanding of the neuroplastic changes in the brain during development and adulthood in response to changing hormonal and environmental conditions. Additionally, this international forum will identify future directions that this currently burgeoning field should take. The workshop will be organized by Dr. Tao-Yiao J. Wu from the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine in collaboration with Dr. Hernan Lara from Universidad de Chile, Dr. Carmen Romero from the Hospital Clinico Universidad de Chile, and Dr. Aldo Lucien from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul.The workshop will bring together a diverse community of researchers and graduate students from the United States, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay and provide unique opportunities for this community to initiate long-term collaborations. There are a number of neuroendocrinologists in Latin American countries who have made significant contributions to the field, but their interactions with U.S. researchers have not been extensive. Furthermore, it will provide an international research experience to 11 U.S young investigators, 4 graduate students and 7 junior researchers. A young investigators' poster session at the workshop is planned for U.S. and South American participants. This workshop is supported by the Americas Program of the Office of International Science and the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS), Neural Systems Cluster of the Directorate of Biological Sciences.

这项美国拉丁美洲奖将支持一个研讨会，以促进南美和美国研究人员之间神经内分泌学方面的国际科学合作。研讨会将于2011年8月在智利的ViñaDelMar举行，在繁殖学会会议之前。研讨会的主要目的是进一步开发有关美国，智利，巴西，阿根廷和乌拉圭的研究人员之间类固醇马酮调节和神经元活动的合作。组织者特别有兴趣更好地理解开发和成年期间大脑的神经塑性变化，以应对改变荷尔蒙和环境条件。此外，这个国际论坛将确定目前蓬勃发展的领域应采取的未来方向。该研讨会将由亨利·M·杰克逊基金会（Henry M. Jackson）基金会的陶雅·J·吴（Tao-Yiao J.该研讨会将召集来自美国，智利，巴西，阿根廷和乌拉圭的研究人员和研究生的潜水社区，并为该社区提供独特的机会来开始长期合作。拉丁美洲国家有许多神经内分泌学家为该领域做出了重大贡献，但他们与美国研究人员的互动并没有广泛。此外，它将为美国11名年轻研究人员，4位研究生和7名初级研究人员提供国际研究经验。计划在美国和南美参与者举行的年轻调查人员的海报会议。该研讨会得到了国际科学办公室和综合有机系统（IOS），生物科学局神经系统集群的支持。
