DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The current application is for support for the 44th annual ASN meeting, which will be held as a joint meeting with the International Society for Neurochemistry in Cancun, Mexico April 20th-24th, 2013. NIH funding for previous ASN meetings has provided invaluable support for our scientific programs and for enhancing graduate student and postdoctoral fellow attendance and involvement in our meeting. NIH support this year will not only help ASN achieve its goals, but will assist the US Government in achieving its goals of promoting the establishment of global scientific networks and in enhancing diplomatic relations in countries where relationships are strained. With this year's meeting joined with the annual ISN meeting, there will be even greater breadth to our scientific conference ensuring a richer intellectual experience for meeting delegates. This year's ASN meeting will provide increased opportunities for delegates to exchange ideas and to form new international collaborations because total attendance is expected to be 1300 scientists from over 30 countries. While the scientific program is rich, there will be numerous spaces in our program for delegates to congregate informally during the meeting or at pre-meeting satellites. The Society will continue its tradition of enhancing the professional development of junior investigators during the meeting through several mechanisms. We have organized luncheons with our internationally recognized plenary speakers to give our fellows opportunities to informally meet with these speakers. The fees for these luncheons are reduced for students and postdoctoral fellows. There is a dinner exclusively for students and postdoctoral fellows, which is repeatedly recognized as an outstanding opportunity to network. There is a luncheon entitled "Women in Neurochemistry" that is open to all attendees, and junior investigators have reduced fees. There are 3, 30 minute featured lectures for young investigators and 3 sessions that are selected from abstracts submitted that will allow up to 18 fellows to present their research orally. There are travel awards for outstanding graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to defray their costs of attendance. We host a job- posting site and students can meet with potential future mentors or colleagues during the meeting. Recently, we added a half-day program for visiting high- school students to engage these future scientists during their formative years, (which we are introducing to the ISN at this meeting) to bring talented Mexican high school students to our conference. From results of yearly exit surveys, we know that the annual ASN meeting has and will continue to provide an excellent venue for cutting edge neuroscience and for enhancing the careers of young investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）：当前申请是为了支持第 44 届 ASN 年度会议，该会议将于 2013 年 4 月 20 日至 24 日在墨西哥坎昆与国际神经化学学会联合举行。NIH 为之前的 ASN 提供资助会议为我们的科学项目以及提高研究生和博士后研究员出席和参与我们的会议提供了宝贵的支持。 NIH今年的支持不仅将帮助ASN实现其目标，还将协助美国政府实现其推动建立全球科学网络和加强与关系紧张国家的外交关系的目标。随着今年的会议的加入 随着年度 ISN 会议的召开，我们的科学会议将更加广泛，确保会议代表获得更丰富的知识体验。今年的 ASN 会议将为代表们提供更多交流想法和形成新的国际合作的机会，因为预计出席总人数将有来自 30 多个国家的 1300 名科学家。虽然科学计划很丰富，但我们的计划中将有大量空间供代表们在会议期间或会前卫星上非正式聚会。学会将在会议期间通过多种机制继续其加强初级研究员专业发展的传统。我们与国际知名的全体演讲者一起组织了午餐会，让我们的同事有机会与这些演讲者进行非正式会面。学生和博士后研究员的午餐费用有所降低。有专门为学生和博士后研究员举办的晚宴，这被多次认为是建立人际网络的绝佳机会。有一个题为“神经化学领域的女性”的午餐会向所有与会者开放，初级研究人员的费用也有所降低。为年轻研究者提供 3 场 30 分钟的特色讲座，以及从提交的摘要中选出的 3 场会议，最多允许 18 名研究员口头展示他们的研究成果。为优秀研究生和博士后研究员提供旅行奖励，以支付他们的出勤费用。我们主办了一个招聘网站，学生可以在会议期间与未来潜在的导师或同事会面。最近，我们增加了一个为期半天的访问高中生项目，让这些未来的科学家在他们的成长阶段参与进来（我们在这次会议上向 ISN 介绍），以吸引有才华的墨西哥高中生参加我们的会议。从年度退出调查的结果来看，我们知道，年度 ASN 会议已经并将继续为尖端神经科学和提升年轻研究人员的职业生涯提供一个绝佳的场所。
