DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The TMJ Association Conference on "Advancing Diagnostic Approaches for TMJ Disorders" is scheduled for May 5-6, 2004 in the Washington DC area. Based on a 1989 national survey conducted by the NIDR of NIH, an estimated ten million people in the United States have signs of temporomandibular diseases and disorders, commonly referred to as "TMJ", with as many as 80% of treated patients being women in their childbearing years. Since little research had explored these problems, in the years 2000 and 2002 the TMJ Association, a national patient advocacy organization, planned and organized scientific meetings (co-sponsored by agencies of the NIH) to assess the current state of the science and provide directions for future research. These highly successful meetings were held with the fundamental goal of enriching the pool of investigators directed to TMJ research by attracting experts from other fields and by stimulating the interest of young investigators in the emerging field. The summaries and future research recommendations of these meetings have been published. One of the major recommendations from both of these meetings was the establishment of standardized, scientifically validated, and accepted criteria for the diagnosis of temporomandibular disease and disorders. Therefore, the Specific Aims of the next proposed conference are: 1) First, to provide an understanding of the needs and challenges currently faced in the diagnosis of TMJ diseases and disorders. 2) To assess current methods and explore new ways to define the TMJ vulnerable population through the utilization of new and emerging technologies provided through bioengineering, bioimaging, and computational biology. 3) To promote the participation of young scientists through a travel award program and 4) to stimulate interest among young investigators so that a multidisciplinary approach will develop to research temporomandibular diseases and disorders.

说明（由申请人提供）： 颞下颌关节协会会议“推进颞下颌关节疾病的诊断方法”定于 2004 年 5 月 5 日至 6 日在华盛顿特区举行。根据 NIH NIDR 1989 年进行的一项全国调查，估计美国有 1000 万人患有颞下颌疾病和紊乱（俗称“TMJ”），其中接受治疗的患者中多达 80% 是女性。他们的生育年龄。由于很少有研究探讨这些问题，2000 年和 2002 年，全国患者倡导组织 TMJ 协会策划并组织了科学会议（由 NIH 机构共同主办），以评估当前的科学状况并提供指导以供将来的研究。这些非常成功的会议的根本目标是通过吸引其他领域的专家并激发年轻研究人员对新兴领域的兴趣来丰富颞下颌关节研究的研究人员队伍。这些会议的摘要和未来研究建议已发布。这两次会议的主要建议之一是建立标准化、经过科学验证和公认的颞下颌疾病和紊乱的诊断标准。因此，下一次会议的具体目标是： 1）首先，了解目前颞下颌关节疾病和紊乱诊断中面临的需求和挑战。 2) 评估现有方法，并探索通过利用生物工程、生物成像和计算生物学提供的新兴技术来定义颞下颌关节脆弱人群的新方法。 3) 通过旅行奖励计划促进年轻科学家的参与，4) 激发年轻研究人员的兴趣，以便发展多学科方法来研究颞下颌疾病和紊乱。
