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 12th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Neurotrophic Factors at Salve Regina University, Newport RI from May 31 - June 5, 2015. The meeting will be attended by approximately 150 participants and will feature work on diverse neurotrophic factors, their functions and mechanisms of action, and their potential therapeutic capacity. Neurotrophic factors are extracellular proteins that act on developing or mature neural cells to promote cell survival, neural differentiation, and circuit connectivity and function. Defects in neurotrophic factor activities are linked to a broad variety f neurological conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases, neural injury, neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism and cognitive dysfunction, and even addictive behaviors. The objectives of this grant are to provide support for a meeting that will: 1. Foster interactions amongst diverse basic and clinical researchers who study neurotrophic factors in health and disease. Neurotrophic factors is a highly multidisciplinary field with researchers ranging from molecular/cell biologists to systems biologists, electrophysiologists, and human biologists interested in brain disorders. The philosophy of this conference is that the very best science will result from collaborations and interactions amongst these diverse researchers. Thus, a primary objective of the upcoming GRC is to foster and strengthen those interactions, leading to scientific excellence and providing a chance for young investigators to learn about the important questions and challenges. 2. Achieve a sense of community amongst researchers studying neurotrophic factors. Science is an international endeavor, and the field of neurotrophic factors is no exception. This meeting will feature international scientists in the field, and will highligh many of the accomplished scientists in the field who are women or members of under-represented minorities. In so doing, this meeting will achieve its second objective, to enhance the sense of a global community, and to break down barriers to the interactions that allow research to move from the bench to the clinic. 3. Provide opportunities for young researchers to present their work and interact with the broad neurotrophic factors community. This meeting will encourage communication of ideas at the frontiers of the area, including a session of "hot topics", short talks presented predominantly by students and postdoctoral fellows. Funds from NIH will be used to enable these young investigators to attend the meeting and present their 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 5 月 31 日至 6 月 5 日在罗德岛州纽波特萨尔维里贾纳大学举行的第 12 届戈登神经营养因子研究会议 (GRC)， 2015 年。会议将有大约 150 名与会者参加，重点讨论各种神经营养因子、它们的功能和作用机制以及它们的潜在治疗能力。作用于发育或成熟神经细胞以促进细胞存活、神经分化以及神经营养因子活性缺陷的细胞外蛋白与多种神经系统疾病有关，包括神经退行性疾病、神经损伤、神经精神疾病，例如。这笔赠款的目的是为会议提供支持，该会议将： 1. 促进研究健康和疾病中神经营养因素的不同基础和临床研究人员之间的互动。场地从分子/细胞生物学家到系统生物学家、电生理学家和对大脑疾病感兴趣的人类生物学家，本次会议的理念是，最好的科学将会。因此，即将召开的 GRC 的主要目标是促进和加强这些互动，从而实现科学卓越并为年轻研究人员提供了解重要问题和挑战的机会 2. 实现。研究神经营养因子的研究人员之间的社区意识。科学是一项国际事业，神经营养因子领域也不例外。本次会议将邀请该领域的国际科学家，并将重点关注该领域许多成就卓著的女性科学家。或成员通过这样做，本次会议将实现第二个目标，即增强全球社区的意识，并打破互动障碍，使研究从实验室走向临床。年轻研究人员展示他们的工作并与广泛的神经营养因子社区互动，这次会议将鼓励该领域前沿的思想交流，包括主要由学生和博士后基金进行的简短演讲。来自 NIH 的将用于启用这些年轻的研究人员参加会议并在令人兴奋的协作环境中展示他们的新发现。
