DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Highlighting Massage Therapy in CAM Research conference will be held September 22-27, 2005, at the Hyatt Regency, the Albuquerque Convention Center, and the Sheraton Old Town, Albuquerque, NM. The objectives of the conference are to: 1) educate massage practitioners about the research process, 2) provide an opportunity for dissemination of recent massage research, 3) promote communication between CAM researchers and therapeutic massage/bodywork practitioners, and 4) facilitate collaboration between CAM researchers and therapeutic massage/bodywork practitioners. The Highlighting conference is designed to reach three audiences: practitioners of therapeutic massage/bodywork, educators, and researchers/clinicians. The conference consists of three tracks, each designed to appeal particularly to one audience and secondarily to the other two, thereby encouraging collaboration and communication between previously disparate parties who share a common interest in massage therapy research. This conference addresses the need for practitioners to be intimately involved with methodology and research design in order to ensure that the questions and hypotheses raised and the protocols tested reflect the way professional practitioners practice their art and science. It also allows for researchers who are not practitioners to understand the modalities of therapeutic massage and bodywork and the way these modalities are practiced. The conference includes lectures by researchers who have contributed to the body of CAM research generally or to therapeutic massage and bodywork specifically, whose studies are peer-reviewed, and who hold educated opinions regarding the role therapeutic massage and bodywork can play in CAM, integrated health care, and wellness. In addition to lectures about research and the inclusion of posters, presentations will also be made about designing research curricula, pedagogical tools to support research, case study models, and how-to sessions on conducting a research literature search and apply for a research grant. The Highlighting conference, the first of its kind to be held in the United States, is scheduled to occur in alternate years with the Canadian-sponsored International Symposium on the Science of Touch.

描述（由申请人提供）：CAM研究会议上的重点按摩疗法将于2005年9月22日至27日在阿尔伯克基会议中心的凯悦摄政中心和新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基的Sheraton Old Town举行。会议的目标是：1）教育按摩从业者有关研究过程的教育，2）为传播最近的按摩研究提供了机会，3）促进CAM研究人员与治疗性按摩/身体工作人员之间的交流，以及4）4）促进CAM研究人员与治疗性按摩和身体工作人员之间的协作。 突出显示会议旨在吸引三个受众：治疗性按摩/身体工作，教育工作者和研究人员/临床医生的实践者。该会议由三首曲目组成，每条曲目旨在特别吸引一个受众，其次是对另外两个观众的吸引力，从而鼓励以前不同的政党之间在按摩治疗研究中具有共同兴趣的合作和沟通。 这次会议旨在使从业人员与方法和研究设计密切相关，以确保提出的问题和假设提出，并且所测试的协议反映了专业从业人员实践其艺术和科学的方式。它还允许不是从业者的研究人员了解治疗性按摩和身体的方式以及这些方式的实践方式。 该会议包括研究人员的讲座，这些研究人员通常对CAM研究的身体或专门进行治疗性按摩和身体工作做出了贡献，他们的研究经过了同行评审，并且对治疗性按摩和身体的作用可以在CAM，综合医疗保健和健康中发挥作用。除了有关研究和海报的讲座外，还将进行有关设计研究课程，支持研究的教学工具，案例研究模型以及进行研究文献搜索和申请研究赠款的方式的演讲。 强调会议是在美国举行的第一次此类会议，计划在加拿大赞助的有关触觉科学的国际研讨会上进行替代的会议。
