DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Spring Brain Conference (SBC) was first organized in late 1989 to foster interdisciplinary communication among scientists studying different aspects of brain function in a format that stimulates significant interaction and discussion. The objective of the conference is to bring together top neuroscientists with varied backgrounds, interests and approaches expressly to promote the development of new strategies to investigate and stimulate the development of new therapeutic approaches to disorders of the CNS. SBC is held in Sedona, Arizona in mid-March. The dates for the next conference are March 15-18, 2006. Support is requested for meetings in 2006 and 2007. Registration and participation in the meeting is open. The meeting site, however, limits participants to a maximum of 100 scientists. In 2006, the conference will consist of 10- 12 plenary scientific sessions each organized around a theme or topic. Sessions are chosen on a competitive basis and are given in 2-4 oral presentations by recognized experts followed by open discussion. We request support for 1 established scientist, 3 Young Investigators and 5 Trainee Fellows to participate. Several sessions will be organized by or in collaboration with program personnel from the NIH. For 2006, as in 2005, we will again encourage participation by staff from different institutes such as: NINDS, NIA, NICHD, NIDA and NIMH. Two plenary lecturers will be invited to present expert overviews on topics of broad interest. We request support for a Keynote Speaker who gives the opening talk of conference. There will be a poster session, focusing on posters presented by young investigators/trainees/graduate students, particularly young scientists from diverse background minority trainees. Over 70% of the budget is to support participation by these participants. The Young Investigators and Trainee Fellows will organize and participate in hands-on presentations to 180 Native American High School Children (grades 9-12) who are residents of the Kinlani Bordertown Dormitory in Flagstaff, AZ. This targeted outreach will expand on the successful interactions in 2005. We will continue and deepen this unique effort over the next 2 years of the grant. We are in a position to build unique relationships with under-represented Native Americans. A goal is to attract new talent from this group to the exciting field of neuroscience, biology and medicine. In 2005 the increase in the number of women scientists participating in the SBC was sustained. Further increasing participation of women scientists in all aspects of this conference remains a major goal for coming years. A report of the 2005 conference highlights will be in press soon and will be posted on the web site. A preliminary announcement for the 2006 meeting is in press. Once the program is set, advertisements (and materials) will be purchased for which funding is requested. Finally, funds are requested to partially defray costs of organizing and conducting the conference, collecting follow-up assessments, and supporting the meeting's web site.

描述（由申请人提供）：春季大脑会议（SBC）于1989年底首次组织，以促进研究大脑功能不同方面的科学家之间的跨学科交流，以刺激重大相互作用和讨论的格式。 会议的目的是将具有多种背景，兴趣和方法的最高神经科学家汇集在一起​​，以促进开发新策略，以调查和刺激中枢神经系统疾病的新治疗方法的发展。 SBC于3月中旬在亚利桑那州塞多纳举行。 下次会议的日期是2006年3月15日至18日。在2006年和2007年要求会议提供支持。注册和参加会议开放。 但是，会议地点将参与者限制为最多100位科学家。 2006年，该会议将包括10至12个全体科学会议，每个会议围绕主题或主题组织。 公认的专家随后进行公开讨论，在2-4口语演讲中选择会议，并在2-4口语演讲中进行。 我们要求支持1名成熟的科学家，3名年轻调查员和5名学员参加。 将由NIH的计划人员或合作组织几个会议。 在2006年，与2005年一样，我们将再次鼓励来自不同机构的员工参加：Ninds，Nia，Nichd，Nida和Nimh。 将邀请两名全体讲师提出有关广泛关注的主题的专家概述。 我们要求支持主题演讲者，他发表了会议的开幕词。 将举行一场海报会议，重点介绍由年轻的调查员/学员/研究生，特别是来自不同背景少数群体学员的年轻科学家提出的海报。 预算的70％以上是为了支持这些参与者的参与。 年轻的调查人员和学员研究员将组织并参与为180名美国原住民高中儿童（9至12年级）的动手演讲，他们是亚利桑那州弗拉格斯塔夫的Kinlani Bordertown宿舍的居民。 这项有针对性的外展将扩大2005年成功的互动。我们将在赠款的未来两年内继续并加深这种独特的努力。 我们可以与代表性不足的美洲原住民建立独特的关系。 一个目标是吸引从该小组的新人才进入令人兴奋的神经科学，生物学和医学领域。 2005年，参加SBC的女性科学家人数增加了。 女性科学家在这次会议的各个方面的进一步增加仍然是未来几年的主要目标。 2005年会议重点的报告将很快发布，并将发布在网站上。 2006年会议的初步公告在媒体上。 设置了该程序后，将为要求提供资金的广告（和材料）。 最后，要求资金部分支付组织和进行会议，收集后续评估以及支持会议网站的费用。
