DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal helps support the annual South East Nerve Net Conference (SENN). The primary goals of this conference are to: 1. Provide a venue for students to present their work to neuroscientists throughout the region. 2. Promote comparative systems neurobiology research and research on the neural basis of behavior. 3. Expand the participation of women and historically under-represented groups of people. The meeting provides an attractive venue for students to give presentations. For most students, this is the first opportunity to speak at a scientific meeting. Our aim is to preserve the friendly format for students while making this a large enough meeting to give them exposure to scientists outside of their own institutions. The format of the meeting is generally to have a local keynote speaker on Friday evening with a welcome reception. On Saturday there is a full day of short talks by students and post-docs, followed by another keynote talk. The evening is filled with posters and dinner. The formula is varied depending upon the venue. Plans for enhancements to the meeting include: academic survival skills workshops, public outreach programs, and mini-interviews for undergraduates. Specific efforts will be made to increase participation by under-represented groups and to highlight their research successes. Travel fellowships will be provided to students to increase the accessibility of the meeting. The meeting venue rotates between Atlanta and two sites in Florida: the Whitney Laboratory and Florida State University. The meeting is co-sponsored by the International Society for Neuroethology and local host Institutions. The Atlanta location is central to most of the South East. The Florida sites represent the historical constituency of this meeting. The South East Nerve Net aids in training students for careers in neuroscience by introducing them to researchers from across the Southeastern United States.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案有助于支持年度东南神经网络会议（SENN）。 这次会议的主要目标是： 1. 为学生提供一个向整个地区的神经科学家展示他们的工作的场所。 2.推动比较系统神经生物学研究和行为神经基础研究。 3. 扩大妇女和历史上代表性不足的群体的参与。 该会议为学生提供了一个有吸引力的演讲场所。 对于大多数学生来说，这是第一次在科学会议上发言的机会。 我们的目标是保持对学生友好的形式，同时使这次会议规模足够大，让他们能够接触到自己机构之外的科学家。 会议的形式通常是在周五晚上由当地的主旨发言人进行欢迎招待会。 周六，学生和博士后将进行一整天的简短演讲，然后是另一场主题演讲。 晚上充满了海报和晚餐。 公式因场地而异。 会议的改进计划包括：学术生存技能研讨会、公共推广计划和本科生迷你访谈。 将做出具体努力来增加代表性不足群体的参与并突出他们的研究成功。 将为学生提供旅行奖学金，以增加会议的便利性。 会议地点在亚特兰大和佛罗里达州的两个地点之间轮换：惠特尼实验室和佛罗里达州立大学。 该会议由国际神经行为学学会和当地主办机构共同主办。 亚特兰大位于东南部大部分地区的中心。 佛罗里达州站点代表了本次会议的历史选区。 东南神经网络通过向学生介绍来自美国东南部各地的研究人员来帮助培训学生从事神经科学职业。
