DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 application seeks funding for the annual meeting of the American Society for Neural Therapy and Repair (ASNTR) 2007. 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, neuroengineering and gene therapy applied to neurological 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 discussed by basic scientists and clinicians. Therefore, ASNTR is truly a unique gathering. Attendance of this meeting ranges between 125-200 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. 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. Therefore NIH funding for this activity is critical. As an incentive to encourage young scientists to seek and obtain independent peer reviewed funding, we conduct a very popular short grantsmanship course every two years surrounding the ASNTR annual meeting for the travel award winners and students. This application requests $20,000 in total direct costs to support travel awards for the top 20 graduate students/postdocs from US institutions that apply (awards of $1000 per student/postdoc) and $5000 to support the short grantsmanship course. NIH funding for this travel award and short grantsmanship course is crucial to continue the momentum created by previous funding of this activity and to encourage young investigators into this fledgling field of translational neuroscience. ASNTR and its educational committee includes and encourages participation of minorities including women and persons with disabilities in all its activities.

描述（由申请人提供）：该R13申请为2007年美国神经治疗与维修学会（ASNTR）年会寻求资金。自1994年成立以来，ASNTR每年4月/5月在佛罗里达州的Clearwater召集。在会议上，通过平台和海报介绍讨论了移植，神经工程和基因治疗领域的各种研究进展，适用于帕金森氏病，亨廷顿氏病，阿尔茨海默氏病，中风，脊髓损伤和创伤性脑损伤等神经系统疾病。 ASNTR专注于整个课程的治疗策略。因此，学生和博士后不仅学习了基础科学，而且还学习了基本科学家和临床医生讨论的翻译问题。因此，ASNTR确实是一个独特的聚会。这次会议的出席范围在125-200名注册人之间。 ASNTR教育委员会每年都会鼓励学生/博士后在比赛中提交摘要，而最高评价的申请人会获得旅行奖，以支付会议出勤和旅行的费用。 ASNTR始终为学生和博士后研究员的资助旅行奖优先考虑。过去，ASNTR收到了生物技术公司和非营利组织的捐款来涵盖这些旅行奖，但是，近年来，ASNTR看到这些贡献减少了，尽管ASNTR将继续寻求私营部门的资金，但我们预计未来几年的贡献并没有增加。因此，这项活动的NIH资金至关重要。为了鼓励年轻科学家寻求和获得独立同行评审的资金，我们每两年进行一次非常受欢迎的简短赠款课程，围绕ASNTR年度会议，为获奖者和学生提供。该申请要求提供20,000美元的直接费用，以支持美国机构的前20名研究生/博士后的旅行奖，这些奖项（每名学生/博士后的奖励为$ 1000）和5000美元，以支持简短的赠款课程。 NIH为该旅行奖和简短授予技巧课程提供的资金对于继续以前对这项活动的资金创造的势头至关重要，并鼓励年轻的调查人员进入这个刚起步的转化神经科学领域。 ASNTR及其教育委员会包括并鼓励少数民族参与包括妇女和残疾人的所有活动。
