DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting funds to support the 2014 American Aging Association (AGE) 43rd Annual Meeting to be held at the Westin Hotel, San Antonio, Texas on May 30th -June 2nd. In recent years, this meeting has grown to become one of the premier meetings for biogerontological research. The meeting theme is "Slowing Aging: Signaling, Stress Resistance, Stem Cells, and Small Molecules -- Insights from Old and New Models." Dr. Rochelle Buffenstein together with the AGE Program Committee (Drs. Brown-Borg, Nelson, Nikolich-Zugich, Oddo, Tissenbaum, Thompson), Session Chairs and the AGE Executive Board organize the scientific program. The objective is to bring together scientists from multiple disciplines to create a forum for presentation and critical discussion of the latest discoveries in aging research and to stimulate forward thinking and collaboration among participants. Funds are requested for travel expenses of 1) the invited speakers and 2) meritorious junior scientists (graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty) who can benefit from exposure to the leaders of the field, present their research findings and have the opportunity to contribute to this forum of free exchange. The specific goals of this meeting are a) to assemble a broad-based forum of basic and clinical scientists to present the latest research on mechanisms involved in slowing aging; b) to ensure coverage of a variety of well-established (e.g., yeasts, worms, flies, and both human and non-human primates) and non- traditional (e.g., turtles, bees and mole-rats) experimental animal models and state-of-the-art technologies; c) to encourage open discussion of new and old conceptual paradigms in aging; d) to emphasize integrative and translational research opportunities; and e) to evaluate experimental and lifestyle interventions that may slow human aging and develop novel avenues for potential therapeutics. The invited speakers include renowned scientists in aging as well as other disciplines selected for their science and ability to stimulate debate. A key goal of this meeting is met by inclusion o rising stars and scientists both in and outside aging research who are not regular speakers on the "aging conference circuit: namely, to promote broader participation and present fresh ideas, novel experimental technologies and insightful approaches to this clinically important, multidisciplinary, and integrative field. The meeting will also focus on the convergence of protective mechanisms that contribute to the maintenance of homeostasis and its modulation in slow aging species, such as humans. Topics include- Circadian Dysregulation in Aging: Consequences, and Causes; Forgotten Metabolites, Small Molecules in Aging; Stress Resistance and Signaling; The Gut Microbiome and its Role in Immunity, Inflammation and Aging; Protective Proteins and Proteostasis; Proteostatic Dysfunction During Aging; Forever Young: Tissue Regeneration and Stem Cells; and Retarding Aging: Lifestyle Changes and Interventions. The effectiveness of this meeting in achieving its stated goals, particularly broadening the range of speakers and topics, will be evaluated by participant survey and used to guide future meetings.

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们正在申请资金支持将于 5 月 30 日至 6 月 2 日在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市威斯汀酒店举行的 2014 年美国老龄化协会 (AGE) 第 43 届年会。近年来，该会议已发展成为生物老年学研究的主要会议之一。会议主题是“延缓衰老：信号传导、抗应激、干细胞和小分子——新旧模型的见解”。 Rochelle Buffenstein 博士与 AGE 计划委员会（Brown-Borg、Nelson、Nikolich-Zugich、Oddo、Tissenbaum、Thompson 博士）、会议主席和 AGE 执行委员会一起组织科学计划。其目标是将来自多个学科的科学家聚集在一起，创建一个论坛，对衰老研究的最新发现进行展示和批判性讨论，并激发参与者之间的前瞻性思维和合作。需要资助 1）受邀演讲者和 2）有功的青年科学家（研究生、博士后研究员和青年教师）的旅费，他们可以 受益于与该领域的领导者接触，展示他们的研究成果，并有机会为这个自由交流的论坛做出贡献。本次会议的具体目标是a) 组建一个由基础和临床科学家组成的基础广泛的论坛，展示有关延缓衰老机制的最新研究； b) 确保覆盖各种成熟的（例如酵母、蠕虫、苍蝇以及人类和非人类灵长类动物）和非传统的（例如海龟、蜜蜂和鼹鼠）实验动物模型和状态-最先进的技术； c) 鼓励对老龄化问题的新旧概念范式进行公开讨论； d) 强调综合性和转化性研究机会； e) 评估实验和生活方式 可以减缓人类衰老并开发潜在治疗方法的新途径的干预措施。受邀演讲者包括老龄化领域以及其他学科的著名科学家，他们因其科学性和激发辩论的能力而被选中。本次会议的一个关键目标是吸收老龄化研究领域内外的后起之秀和科学家，他们不是“老龄化会议巡回赛”的常规发言人：即促进更广泛的参与并提出新的想法、新颖的实验技术和富有洞察力的方法会议还将重点关注有助于维持缓慢衰老物种（例如人类）体内平衡的保护机制的融合，主题包括：衰老中的昼夜节律失调：后果和原因；衰老过程中的代谢物、小分子；肠道微生物组及其在免疫、炎症和衰老中的作用；衰老过程中的蛋白质稳态功能；延缓衰老：生活方式的改变和干预 本次会议在实现其既定目标方面的有效性，特别是。扩大发言者和主题的范围，将通过参与者调查进行评估，并用于指导未来的会议。
