项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Hershey Conference on Developmental Brain Injury was started in 1997 and has grown into a popular, well-attended international conference of physician-scientists and basic scientists, including a large proportion of trainees. It is withot peer in the field of Developmental Brain Injury. The overall goal of the 2014, 9th Hershey Conference is to once again bring together internationally known clinical and basic scientists committed to studying and treating the neonatal brain. The overall theme in 2014 will focus on mechanisms of cell death and plasticity following brain injury in developing animal models and in humans. The basic approach remains the same. Specifically the three objectives are: 1) application of the latest research in basic science to the clinical questions; 2) recognition and discussion of ongoing controversy and progress toward resolution in developmental brain injury research; 3) identification of future directions for the developmental brain injury field. The objectives of this R13 are: 1) to provide partial support for the invited speakers, many of whom are outside of the developmental brain injury field but will contribute significantly to the educational aspects of the conference 2) to provide support of trainees, junior faculty, and underrepresented minorities (URM), primarily from the US, to attend this meeting, 3) to provide basic infrastructure support for planning and administration of the meeting. With the return of the meeting to the US in 2014, we are applying for funding for the meeting itself as well as the trainee support. New to this proposal is request for funds to specifically fully support US URM to attend the meeting. Extensive participation of trainees, both from US and foreign institutions, has been a hallmark of the Hershey Conference. Trainees, both MD and PhD, constitute 30-50% of all participants and we hope to partially defray the expenses for most of this group. This meeting has historically been an excellent opportunity for informal interaction among trainees and the leaders in the field as well as a mechanism for post-doctoral and visiting scientist recruitment. In 2016 the conference will once again be primarily funded by foreign sources.

描述（由申请人提供）：好时发育性脑损伤会议始于 1997 年，现已发展成为一个受欢迎的、参加人数众多的医师科学家和基础科学家国际会议，其中包括很大一部分学员。在发育性脑损伤领域是独一无二的。 2014 年第九届好时会议的总体目标是再次汇聚致力于研究和治疗新生儿大脑的国际知名临床和基础科学家。 2014 年的总体主题将集中于开发动物模型和人类脑损伤后的细胞死亡和可塑性机制。基本方法保持不变。具体来说，这三个目标是：1）将基础科学的最新研究应用于临床问题； 2）认识和讨论发育性脑损伤研究中持续存在的争议和解决进展； 3）确定发育性脑损伤领域的未来方向。 R13 的目标是： 1) 为受邀演讲者提供部分支持，其中许多人不属于发育性脑损伤领域，但将为会议的教育方面做出重大贡献 2) 为受训者、初级教员提供支持和代表性不足的少数群体 (URM)（主要来自美国）参加本次会议，3) 为会议的规划和管理提供基本的基础设施支持。随着回归 2014 年在美国举行会议，我们正在申请会议本身的资金以及培训生的支持。该提案的新内容是请求资金专门全力支持美国 URM 参加会议。来自美国和外国机构的学员的广泛参与一直是好时会议的标志。受训者（包括医学博士和博士）占所有参与者的 30-50%，我们希望为该群体中的大多数人支付部分费用。这次会议历来是学员和该领域领导者之间非正式互动的绝佳机会，也是博士后和访问科学家招聘的机制。 2016年会议将再次主要由国外资金资助。
