DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 application seeks funding to support graduate student/postdoctoral fellow travel awards to the annual meeting of the American Society for Neural Transplantation and Repair (ASNTR). Since its founding in 1994, the ASNTR has convened yearly each April/May in Clearwater, Florida. At the meeting, various research advances in the fields of transplantation and gene therapy applied to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury are discussed via platform and poster presentations. ASNTR focuses on treatment strategies throughout all its sessions. Thus, students and postdocs not only learn the basic sciences, they also learn translational issues, and then actually hear the clinical outcomes discussed by basic scientists and clinicians. Therefore, ASNTR is truly a unique gathering. Attendance of this meeting ranges between 150-250 registrants. Each year the ASNTR Education Committee encourages students/postdocs to submit their abstracts in a competition and the top rated applicants receive travel awards to cover the cost of their meeting attendance and travel. ASNTR has always placed a high priority on funding travel awards for students and post-doctoral fellows. This year for the first time the Education Committee will also provide a "Short Course on Grantsmanship" to train students and postdocs in the art of grant writing and to increase interactions between students/postdocs and senior researchers. In the past ASNTR has received donations from biotech companies and non-profit organizations to cover these travel awards. However, in recent years ASNTR has seen these contributions dwindle and although ASNTR will continue to seek funding from the private sector, we do not anticipate any increase in contributions above recent levels in the coming years. This application requests $15,000 in total direct costs to support travel awards for the top 15 graduate students/postdocs from US institutions that apply (awards of $1000 per student/postdoc).

描述（由申请人提供）：此 R13 申请寻求资金支持研究生/博士后研究员参加美国神经移植与修复学会 (ANTR) 年会的旅行奖励。自 1994 年成立以来，ANTR 每年四月/五月在佛罗里达州克利尔沃特召开会议。 会议通过讲台和海报展示的形式，讨论了应用于帕金森病、亨廷顿病、阿尔茨海默病、中风、脊髓损伤和创伤性脑损伤等神经退行性疾病的移植和基因治疗领域的各种研究进展。 ASNTR 在其所有会议中都重点关注治疗策略。 因此，学生和博士后不仅学习基础科学，还学习转化问题，然后实际听到基础科学家和临床医生讨论的临床结果。 因此，ANTR 确实是一次独特的聚会。 本次会议的注册人数为 150-250 人。 每年，ANTR 教育委员会都会鼓励学生/博士后在竞赛中提交摘要，评分最高的申请者将获得旅行奖励，以支付他们参加会议和旅行的费用。 ASNTR 始终高度重视为学生和博士后研究员提供旅行奖励。 今年，教育委员会还将首次提供“赠款短期课程”，以培训学生和博士后赠款写作的艺术，并增加学生/博士后与高级研究人员之间的互动。 过去，ANTR 已收到生物技术公司和非营利组织的捐款来支付这些旅行奖励。 然而，近年来，ANTR 的捐款不断减少，尽管 ASNTR 将继续向私营部门寻求资金，但我们预计未来几年捐款不会增加到高于近期水平。 该申请要求总直接费用为 15,000 美元，用于支持申请的美国机构中排名前 15 名的研究生/博士后的旅费奖励（每位学生/博士后奖励 1000 美元）。
