DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this project is to support a scientific meeting, Progress in Motor Control VIII (PMC VIII) to be held in July, 2011 in Cincinnati, OH. Motor control is a wide- ranging and fundamentally important topic of scientific investigation. Disorders of gait, balance, and movement are unfortunately common. They occur in children (e.g., developmental coordination disorder) and adults (e.g., Parkinson's disease), and can result from neurological insults such as stroke or traumatic brain injury. Poor motor control (e.g., balance problems) is also associated with other public health issues, such as injuries from falls or declines in physical fitness that in turn lead to a cascade of additional health problems. Furthering our understanding of motor control thus presents opportunities for improving public health. The goal of PMC VIII is to advance scientific understanding of motor control. The specific aim of this proposal is to make PMC VIII more affordable and accessible to a diverse group of scientists. Using grant funds to pay some conference fees directly will lower costs for all participants and thus is expected to increase participation, especially by students, post-docs, and junior faculty. We will also offer grants to help offset conference costs for qualified students, with additional support for post-docs and junior faculty who belong to groups underrepresented in the field of motor control. Achieving this aim will help increase participation and ensure a high-quality scientific meeting that is relevant to the NIH mission and public health. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This proposal will support Progress in Motor Control 2011, a scientific conference on the topic of motor control. The conference will present opportunities for improving public health by furthering our understanding of movement control and how movement control is compromised for people who have movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease or other problems with movement such as poor balance.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目的是支持科学会议，2011年7月在俄亥俄州辛辛那提举行的运动控制VIII（PMC VIII）的进展。运动控制是科学研究的广泛范围和重要的主题。不幸的是，步态，平衡和运动的疾病很普遍。它们发生在儿童（例如发育协调障碍）和成人（例如帕金森氏病）中，可能是由中风或脑损伤等神经系统损伤引起的。不良的运动控制（例如，平衡问题）也与其他公共卫生问题有关，例如跌倒的伤害或身体适应性下降，进而导致一系列其他健康问题。因此，我们对运动控制的理解提高了改善公共卫生的机会。 PMC VIII的目的是提高对运动控制的科学理解。该提案的具体目的是使PMC VIII更实惠，并且可以为多样的科学家提供。使用赠款资金直接支付一些会议费将降低所有参与者的成本，因此有望增加参与，尤其是学生，毕业后和初级教职员工。我们还将提供赠款，以帮助抵消合格学生的会议费用，并为属于运动控制领域的人数不足的小组提供了额外的支持。实现这一目标将有助于增加参与度，并确保与NIH任务和公共卫生相关的高质量科学会议。 公共卫生相关性：该提案将支持2011年汽车控制的进度，这是一项有关运动控制主题的科学会议。该会议将通过进一步了解我们对运动控制的理解以及如何损害运动障碍的人，例如帕金森氏病或其他运动问题，例如平衡差的运动，从而为改善公共卫生的机会提供了机会。
