DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is growing interest in utilizing an interdisciplinary perspective to identify key targets and transition points in the life span that create unique opportunities for behavior change to improve health and well-being. The aim of this application is to develop unique interdisciplinary research teams that would be able to leverage the basic and applied research strengths on the Berkeley campus to conduct innovative research on behavior change. In support of this aim, we propose two interdisciplinary conferences with leading scholars from economics, neuroscience, psychology, and public health that will focus on decision making and emotion regulation during two key life-span transitions (adolescence and late life). The first conference would be focused on basic research and the second conference would be focused on applied research. Bringing together leading scholars from outside Berkeley at the two conferences will enable us to benefit from their expertise and help us identify key questions for the study of behavior change that cut across disciplines. We focus on adolescence and late life because they are key "inflection" points in the life span where trajectories for future development are set. These two points in the life span share important similarities (e.g., times of significant biological and social change) but have rarely been looked at together. We focus on decision making and emotion regulation because they: (a) involve similar neural systems; (b) undergo major reorganization in adolescence and late life; (c) influence each other; (d) predict outcomes of behavior change; and (e) have emerged as important topics in economics, neuroscience, psychology, and public health. We draw on complex neurobiological, cognitive, emotional, social, and contextual processes that go beyond the purview of individual disciplines. This rare opportunity for interdisciplinary dialogue will led to the (a) identification of key conceptual questions that span different disciplines, (b) development of novel hypotheses, and (c) exchange of knowledge about promising scientific methodologies. The conference format we are proposing reflects our desire to promote interdisciplinary exchange, build research collaborations, and utilize conference synergies to support have embraced an interdisciplinary approach because these questions preparation of future grant applications. To increase the intellectual yield and training benefits from this effor, we will make a special effort to engage junior scholars from different disciplines in the proposed activities, affording them opportunities to engage in interdisciplinary networking and professional socialization at the two conferences. The long-term significance of this project is in its contribution to building interdisciplinary research teams that can advance the science of behavior change, especially as applied to critical developmental periods and critical processes that are vital for successful aging, health, and well-being. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: We seek to create interdisciplinary research teams to pursue an innovative approach to the study of behavior change. We propose two interdisciplinary conferences on decision making and emotion regulation during life- span transitions in adolescence and late life. One conference will focus on basic research and the other will focus on applied research.

描述（由申请人提供）：人们越来越有兴趣利用跨学科的视角来确定生命周期中的关键目标和过渡点，从而为行为改变创造独特的机会，以改善健康和福祉。该申请的目的是培养独特的跨学科研究团队，能够利用伯克利校园的基础和应用研究优势，开展行为改变的创新研究。为了支持这一目标，我们提议与来自经济学、神经科学、心理学和公共卫生领域的顶尖学者举行两次跨学科会议，重点关注两个关键的生命周期转变（青春期和晚年）期间的决策和情绪调节。第一次会议将侧重于基础研究，第二次会议将侧重于应用研究。将伯克利以外的顶尖学者聚集在这两个会议上将使我们能够从他们的专业知识中受益，并帮助我们确定跨学科行为改变研究的关键问题。我们关注青春期和晚年，因为它们是人生的关键“拐点”，为未来的发展轨迹奠定了基础。生命周期中的这两点具有重要的相似之处（例如，重大的生物和社会变化时期），但很少被放在一起考虑。我们关注决策和情绪调节，因为它们：（a）涉及相似的神经系统； (b) 在青春期和晚年经历重大重组； (c) 相互影响； (d) 预测行为改变的结果； (e) 已成为经济学、神经科学、心理学和公共卫生领域的重要主题。我们利用复杂的神经生物学、认知、情感、社会和情境过程，这些过程超出了各个学科的范围。这一难得的跨学科对话机会将导致（a）确定跨越不同学科的关键概念问题，（b）提出新颖的假设，以及（c）交流有关有前景的科学方法的知识。我们提议的会议形式反映了我们促进跨学科交流、建立研究合作以及利用会议协同效应来支持跨学科方法的愿望，因为这些问题对未来拨款申请的准备提出了问题。为了提高这项工作的智力产出和培训效益，我们将特别努力让来自不同学科的初级学者参与拟议的活动，为他们提供参与跨学科网络和专业知识的机会。 两次会议上的社交活动。该项目的长期意义在于它对建立跨学科研究团队的贡献，这些团队可以推进行为改变科学，特别是应用于对成功老龄化、健康和福祉至关重要的关键发育时期和关键过程。 公共卫生相关性：我们寻求创建跨学科研究团队，以寻求行为改变研究的创新方法。我们建议召开两次跨学科会议，讨论青春期和晚年生命过渡期间的决策和情绪调节。一场会议将重点关注基础研究，另一场会议将重点关注应用研究。
