DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 37 Annual Meeting of the American Aging Association (AAA) combined with the 22nd Meeting of the American College of Clinical Gerontology will be held in Boulder, Colorado, May 30 - June 2, 2008. The theme selected for the 2008 meeting is "The Role of Genes, Environment and Chance in Determining Aging". The goal of this meeting is to assemble a group of scientists working in diverse areas of experimental gerontology to review and discuss recent developments in this field. The AAA meeting provides an excellent forum for presentation of recent advances in aging research, and it also represents a key mechanism for recruiting new students/faculty into aging. Based on the growing participation of past meetings, we anticipate that at least 325 scientists, clinicians, students and lay people will attend the 2008 meeting of the AAA. In the program for the meeting, we have assembled a variety of topics at the forefront of aging research to be presented. The aging process is most certainly multi-factorial and the approaches and directions highlighted in this program were chosen to reflect this. The program will consist of invited lectures arranged into three Plenary Sessions and ten major sessions held in a dual format, each consisting of three to four presentations and incorporating ample time for discussion. We will also include four sessions consisting of short platform presentations chosen from the abstracts submitted by registrants. Two poster sessions will also be included to allow registrants to participate directly in the meeting by presenting their data. Other key elements of the program include a session devoted to enhancement of graduate students' participation in gerontological research. In addition, for the third year, we will include a session that will be fully funded by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council of the United Kingdom to support presentation by the British Scientists at this meeting and to encourage cross-Atlantic collaboration. We are asking for funds to bring in 41 speakers for the central program of the meeting that will highlight the following key areas: neurogenesis in aging, turnover of extracellular matrix during aging, nutritional interventions, updates on aging research in canines, diseases of protein aggregation, hormesis, the role of exercise in the prevention of cardiac aging, and aging effects on the immune system. Special efforts will be devoted to encourage participation of underrepresented minorities. The meeting will be preceded by a Pre-Conference workshop, funded by outside sources, on "Aging in Non-human Primates: Models, Progress & Future Directions", which will, as the title implies, cover a wide variety of topics associated with aging in non-human primate models. The annual meeting of the American Aging Association (AAA) serves an important public function by keeping the public informed about the progress of aging research and practical means of achieving a long and healthy life the progress of aging research and also by increasing the awareness and knowledge of gerontology among physicians and other members of the health team. By bringing together leading investigators working in the area of biology of aging, AAA provides a forum for critical discussion of recent developments and presentation of key findings from ongoing research. Therefore, this meeting is instrumental in helping to stimulate further progress in the field and in keeping investigators informed of the most recent developments and technologies in experimental gerontology.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国临床老年病学院的第22届会议将在2008年5月30日至6月2日在科罗拉多州的博尔德举行。这次会议的目的是组装一群在实验性老年病学领域工作的科学家，以审查和讨论该领域的最新发展。 AAA会议为介绍衰老研究的最新进展提供了一个很好的论坛，它也代表了将新生/教职员工招募到衰老的关键机制。根据过去会议的日益参与，我们预计至少有325位科学家，临床医生，学生和外行人将参加2008年AAA会议。在会议计划中，我们在要提出的老化研究的最前沿集会了各种主题。衰老过程肯定是多因素的，并且选择了该程序中突出的方法和方向来反映这一点。该计划将由邀请的讲座组成，这些讲座以三个全体会议和十个主要会议进行了双重格式，每个会议由三到四个演讲组成，并结合了足够的讨论时间。我们还将包括四个会议，包括从注册人提交的摘要中选择的简短平台演示。还将包括两个海报会议，以允许注册人通过介绍其数据直接参加会议。该计划的其他关键要素包括致力于增强研究生参与老年学研究的会议。此外，在第三年内，我们将包括一场会议，该会议将由英国的生物技术和生物科学研究委员会全面资助，以支持英国科学家在这次会议上的演讲，并鼓励跨大西洋的合作。我们要求资金吸引41位演讲者参加会议的中心计划，该计划将重点介绍以下关键领域：衰老中的神经发生，衰老期间细胞外基质的周转，营养干预，犬类衰老研究的最新信息，蛋白质聚集疾病的疾病，蛋白质聚集疾病，蛋白质聚集的疾病，激素，运动的作用，锻炼型衰减和衰减的效果。特别的努力将致力于鼓励代表性不足的少数群体的参与。会议将在“非人类灵长类动物的老化：模型，进步和未来的方向”之前举行的会议前研讨会，该会议将由外部资源资助，该讲习班将涵盖与非人类灵长类动物模型相关的各种各样的主题。美国老龄化协会（AAA）的年度会议通过使公众了解老化研究的进步和实现长期健康的生活的进步，从而为公众提供了重要的公共职能，以实现衰老研究的进步，并提高医生和其他健康团队的老年医学的认识和知识。通过将在衰老生物学领域工作的主要研究人员汇集在一起​​，AAA提供了一个论坛，以批判性地讨论最近的发展和正在进行的研究中的关键发现。因此，这次会议有助于刺激该领域的进一步进步，并使调查人员了解实验老年学的最新发展和技术。
