项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is to provide support for junior investigators, post-doctoral fellows and students to attend the 11th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Neurotrophic Factors at Salve Regina University, Newport RI from June 2-7, 2013. The meeting will be attended by approximately 150 participants and will feature work on diverse neurotrophic factors, their functions and mechanisms of action. Neurotrophic Factors are extracellular proteins that act on developing or mature neurons to promote cell survival, neural differentiation or synaptic functioning. Defects in neurotrophic factor activities are linke to a broad variety of neuro-psychiatric disorders including autism and cognitive disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and addictive behaviors. The objectives of this grant are to provide support for a meeting that will: 1. Foster interactions amongst scientists who use a wide variety of approaches to understand the biology of neurotrophic factors in health and in disease. Researchers in this field include cell and molecular biologists, developmental neurobiologists, electrophysiologists and medical scientists. This conference provides a unique forum for investigators using diverse approaches to come together and hear about the most recent advances and methodologies, and for young investigators to learn about the important questions that need to be addressed. 2. Achieve a sense of community among scientists studying neurotrophic factors: The field of neurotrophic factors covers the globe, and multiple aspects of neuroscience. This meeting will feature international scientists in the field, and will highlight many of the accomplished scientists in the field who are women or members of under-represented minorities, and will build a sense of community and cooperation among this group. 3. Provide opportunities for young researchers to present their work and to interact with diverse researchers studying neurotrophic factors: This conference will encourage communication of ideas at the frontiers of science, including a session of "hot topics", short talks presented predominantly by students and post-docs. Funds from NIH will be used to enable these young investigators to attend the meeting, and present novel findings in an exciting and collaborative setting.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案旨在为初级研究人员、博士后研究员和学生提供支持，以参加 2013 年 6 月 2 日至 7 日在罗德岛州纽波特萨尔维里贾纳大学举行的第 11 届戈登神经营养因子研究会议 (GRC)大约 150 名与会者将参加这次会议，会议将重点讨论各种神经营养因子及其功能和作用机制。神经营养因子是细胞外蛋白质，作用于发育或成熟的神经元，促进细胞存活、神经分化或突触功能。神经营养因子活性缺陷与多种神经精神疾病有关，包括自闭症和认知障碍、神经退行性疾病和成瘾行为。这笔赠款的目的是为会议提供支持，该会议将： 1. 促进科学家之间的互动，他们使用各种方法来了解健康和疾病中神经营养因子的生物学。该领域的研究人员包括细胞和分子生物学家、发育神经生物学家、电生理学家和医学科学家。这次会议为使用不同方法的研究人员提供了一个独特的论坛，让他们聚集在一起了解最新的进展和方法，并为年轻的研究人员了解需要解决的重要问题。 2. 在研究神经营养因子的科学家之间实现社区意识：神经营养因子领域覆盖全球，涉及神经科学的多个方面。这次会议将以该领域的国际科学家为特色，并将重点关注该领域许多有成就的女性或代表性不足的少数族裔科学家，并将在该群体之间建立社区与合作意识。 3. 为年轻研究人员提供展示其工作并与研究神经营养因子的不同研究人员互动的机会：本次会议将鼓励科学前沿的思想交流，包括“热点话题”会议、主要由学生和学生进行的简短演讲。博士后。美国国立卫生研究院的资金将用于使这些年轻的研究人员能够参加会议，并在令人兴奋的协作环境中展示新颖的发现。
