DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks partial support for the 8th International conference on Neural Transplantation and Repair, INTR8, to be held June 13-16, 2002 at the Keystone Resorts, Colorado. The conference will provide a much-needed multidisciplinary forum for the presentation and critical discussion of the most recent developments in the field of neural transplantation and repair. The area that has received most attention in past meetings of our organization is aging and age-related disease. Since age-related disorders such as Alzheimer's disease lack effective treatment alternatives, emphasis has been shifted towards trophic factors, gene therapy, and stem cell development for cell replacement. Other areas that will receive attention at the INTR-8 meeting are novel therapies for Parkinson's and Huntington's disease as well as spinal cord injury and stroke. The general theme of the conference is on neuroprotection and repair, particularly as this relates to gene therapy, stem cells, and cell replacement. In particular, there is an international transplant registry and a practice committee that meets during this conference and develops guidelines for clinical practice regarding cell replacement and gene therapy in neuroscience. A broad range of speakers has been sought for this conference, chosen to represent a cross-section of leading scientists in this expanding field. There is a compelling need for diversity in higher education and research. Therefore, one of the missions of ASNTR and of INTR is to aid in the professional development of minorities and persons with handicaps by implementing minority programs within our research community and by recruiting minority and handicapped participants to our meetings. Ten travel awards have been proposed for handicapped persons, and these awards will be advertised in nation-wide organizations through Lawrence Independent Living Resource Center (www.sunflower.com/~indepinc). Of the 50 travel awards that are requested for students, 15 will be specifically awarded to minorities. In addition, previous statistics demonstrate that we have favored women and minorities in the past (33% of the travel award recipients for this years' meeting were women, and women serve on all the committees in our organization).

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求部分支持 在第八届神经移植与维修国际会议上 Intr8，将于2002年6月13日至16日在科罗拉多州的Keystone Resorts举行。这 会议将为急需的多学科论坛提供 介绍和对最新发展的批判性讨论 神经移植和修复领域。收到最多的地区 在过去的组织会议上的关注是老龄化和与年龄有关的 疾病。由于与年龄有关的疾病（例如阿尔茨海默氏病）缺乏 有效的治疗替代方案，重点已转向营养 因素，基因疗法和干细胞发育以替代细胞。其他 在INTR-8会议上将受到关注的领域是新型疗法 对于帕金森氏和亨廷顿氏病以及脊髓损伤和 中风。会议的一般主题是神经保护和维修， 特别是因为这与基因治疗，干细胞和细胞有关 替代品。特别是，有国际移植注册表和 在本次会议上开会并制定准则的实践委员会 有关细胞置换和基因治疗的临床实践 神经科学。在这次会议上寻求广泛的演讲者 选择代表领先科学家的横截面 场地。 在高等教育和研究中，对多样性的需求令人信服。 因此，ASNTR和INT的任务之一是帮助 少数民族和患有障碍的人的专业发展 在我们的研究社区中实施少数群体计划，并通过招聘 少数族裔和残障参与者参加我们的会议。十个旅行奖有 是针对残障人士提出的，这些奖项将在 通过劳伦斯独立生活资源中心在国家范围内的组织 （www.sunflower.com/~ indepinc）。在要求的50个旅行奖中 学生将特别授予少数民族。另外，以前 统计数据表明，过去我们曾经偏爱过妇女和少数民族 （今年会议的旅行奖获得者中有33％是女性， 妇女在我们组织的所有委员会中任职）。
