DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The current application is for support for the 43rd annual ASN meeting to be held in Baltimore, MD from March 3rd to 7th, 2012. NIH funding for previous ASN meetings has been invaluable for supporting our scientific programs and for enhancing our ability to involve graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the ASN meeting. To accommodate the breadth of neurochemistry as well as cellular and molecular neurobiology and to provide in depth analyses of particular topics, the ASN continues to build its scientific program around four interwoven, but distinct, themes. These themes have been selected to increase our understanding of the cellular and molecular bases of neural development and disease. These themes are: Building the Nervous System. Metabolism and Cell & Molecular Neuroscience. Glial Mechanisms & Injury. Neuronal Degeneration & Disease. The ASN meeting provides numerous opportunities for delegates to exchange ideas and to form new collaborations because total attendance is approximately 500 and there are numerous spaces in our program for delegates to congregate informally. The Society also has several mechanisms to enhance the professional development of junior investigators during the meeting. We organize luncheons with the plenary speakers, which gives attendees a chance to discuss topics with the 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 up to 6 sessions that are selected from abstracts submitted, with an emphasis on choosing presentations from graduate students and post doctoral fellows. There are travel awards for outstanding graduate students and post doctoral 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. Most recently, we added a half-day program for visiting high-school students to engage these future scientists during their formative years. 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 neurochemistry and for enhancing the careers of young investigators. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This proposal requests support for the 43rd annual meeting of the American Society for Neurochemistry taking place March 3rd to 7th in St Louis, MO. Support for this meeting will provide valuable assistance to this Society to publicly present new developments in neurochemistry. This annual meeting provides the latest information on advances in molecular and cellular neurobiology. Studies on numerous neurological diseases are presented. A Public Forum is held, which is advertised and focused on presenting information to the general public, this year on traumatic brain injury. A large part of the support requested will help keep registration fees low for young investigators and be used to support educational and networking events for high school students, graduate students, postdocs, young investigators, women and minorities.

描述（由申请人提供）：当前申请是为了支持将于 2012 年 3 月 3 日至 7 日在马里兰州巴尔的摩举行的第 43 届 ASN 年度会议。NIH 为之前的 ASN 会议提供的资金对于支持我们的科学计划和提高我们让研究生和博士后研究人员参与 ASN 会议的能力。为了适应神经化学以及细胞和分子神经生物学的广度，并提供对特定主题的深入分析，ASN 继续围绕四个相互交织但又截然不同的主题构建其科学计划。选择这些主题是为了增加我们对神经发育和疾病的细胞和分子基础的理解。这些主题是： 构建神经系统。新陈代谢和细胞与分子神经科学。神经胶质机制和损伤。神经元变性和疾病。 ASN 会议为代表们提供了大量交流想法和形成新合作的机会，因为总出席人数约为 500 人，而且我们的计划中有大量空间供代表们非正式聚会。协会还有多种机制在会议期间促进初级研究者的专业发展。我们与全体演讲者一起组织午餐会，让与会者有机会与演讲者讨论主题。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“神经化学中的女性”的午餐会，向所有与会者开放，初级研究人员的费用有所降低。从提交的摘要中选出最多 6 个会议，重点是选择研究生和博士后的演讲。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的项目，以便在这些未来的科学家的成长过程中与他们接触。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化学和提升年轻研究人员的职业生涯提供一个绝佳的场所。 公共卫生相关性：本提案请求支持 3 月 3 日至 7 日在密苏里州圣路易斯举行的美国神经化学学会第 43 届年会。对本次会议的支持将为该学会公开展示神经化学的新进展提供宝贵的帮助。这次年会提供了分子和细胞神经生物学进展的最新信息。提出了许多神经系统疾病的研究。今年举办了一个公共论坛，该论坛进行了广告宣传，重点是向公众提供有关创伤性脑损伤的信息。很大一部分的支持 请求将有助于保持年轻调查员的低注册费，并用于支持高中生、研究生、博士后、年轻调查员、妇女和少数族裔的教育和网络活动。
