DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 application seeks funding to support the registration and workshop for students and postdoctoral fellows for the 23rd anniversary meeting of the American Society for Neural Therapy and Repair (ASNTR) to be held April 28 - 30th, 2016. Since its inception in 1994, the ASNTR has convened every year in April/May in Clearwater, Florida, with an attendance of approximately 200 participants. This society has a strong tradition of translational research in the fields of cell transplantation and neuro/tissue engineering, as well as gene therapy as applied to neurological diseases (e.g. Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and Alzheimer's disease, stroke, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury). The focus of the meeting is generally to advance novel treatment strategies in neural repair. Clinical trials are often presented based on basic science research reported at previous meetings. Thus, students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as other attendees not only learn about the "bench science", but they actively participated in discussions with clinicians about translational issues. This interaction fosters the translation from the bench to the bedside and is a unique feature of ASNTR's annual meeting. Each year the ASNTR Education and Training Committee encourages students/postdoctoral fellows to submit their abstracts in a competition that scores their abstracts and ranks them according to creativity of the scientific approach, thoroughness of outcome measures, quality of writing as well as the potential impact on the field. The top rated applicants receive awards to cover their registration costs and partially cover the cost of their meeting attendance. ASNTR has always placed a high priority on funding these awards for students and post-doctoral fellows. Consistently, we have been able to attract support also from biotechnology companies and non-profit organizations to cover a small number of these awards, however, in recent years ASNTR has seen these contributions dwindle and although we will continue to seek funding from the private sector, we do not anticipate any increase in contributions above recent levels in the coming years. This application requests $24,000 in total direct costs to support the trainee awards for the top graduate students/postdoctoral fellows from US institutions that apply (awards of $1000 per student/postdoc). Additional money is requested to partially support the trainee workshop that is held the day prior to the meeting. The ASNTR and the Education and Training Committee include and encourage participation of women, minorities and persons with disabilities in all its activities.

描述（由申请人提供）：此R13申请寻求资金支持学生和博士后研究员的注册和研讨会，以在2016年4月28日至30日举行的美国神经治疗与维修学会（ASNTR）23周年纪念会议上。自1994年在4月/4月的每年召开的每年一次，每年都会参加ANTR，以自2016年4月30日举行。该社会具有在细胞移植和神经/组织工程领域的转化研究，以及用于神经系统疾病（例如帕金森氏病，亨廷顿氏病和阿尔茨海默氏病，中风，脊髓，脊髓损伤和创伤性脑损伤）的基因疗法）。会议的重点通常是推进神经修复中的新型治疗策略。临床试验通常是根据先前会议上报道的基础科学研究进行的。因此，学生和博士后研究员以及其他与会者不仅了解了“替补科学”，而且他们积极参与了与临床医生关于翻译问题的讨论。这种互动促进了从长凳到床边的翻译，是ASNTR年度会议的独特功能。每年，ASNTR教育和培训委员会都会鼓励学生/博士后研究员在一项竞争中提交摘要，该比赛得分摘要，并根据科学方法的创造力，成果措施的彻底性，写作质量以及对领域的潜在影响。最高评价的申请人获得奖励以支付其注册费用，并部分支付了会议出席的费用。 ASNTR始终将这些奖项的资金高度优先为学生和博士后研究员。一致地，我们能够吸引生物技术公司和非营利组织的支持，以涵盖少数此类奖项，但是，近年来，ASNTR看到了这些贡献，尽管我们将继续向私营部门寻求资金，但我们预计在未来几年中，我们没有预计在最近几年的贡献中会增加任何增长。该申请要求提供24,000美元的直接成本，以支持适用的美国机构的顶级研究生/博士后研究员的学员奖（每名学生/博士后奖励$ 1000）。要求额外的钱来部分支持会议前一天举行的学员研讨会。 ASNTR和教育和培训委员会包括并鼓励妇女，少数民族和残疾人参与其所有活动。
