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参加将于 2016 年 4 月 28 日至 30 日举行的美国神经治疗和修复学会 (ANTR) 23 周年会议的注册和研讨会。自 1994 年成立以来，ANTR 每年四月/五月在佛罗里达州克利尔沃特召开会议，约有 200 名参与者参加。该学会在细胞移植和神经/组织工程领域以及应用于神经系统疾病（例如帕金森病、亨廷顿病和阿尔茨海默病、中风、脊髓损伤和创伤性疾病）的基因治疗领域拥有悠久的转化研究传统。脑损伤）。会议的重点通常是推进神经修复的新治疗策略。临床试验通常是根据之前会议上报告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“实验科学”，而且还积极参与与临床医生有关转化问题的讨论。这种互动促进了从工作台到临床的转化，是 ANTR 年会的一个独特之处。每年，ASNTR 教育和培训委员会都会鼓励学生/博士后研究员在竞赛中提交摘要，竞赛根据科学方法的创造力、结果衡量的彻底性、写作质量以及对摘要的潜在影响对摘要进行评分和排名。领域。评分最高的申请人将获得奖励，以支付其注册费用和部分参加会议的费用。 ASNTR 始终高度重视为学生和博士后研究员提供这些奖项。一直以来，我们也能够吸引生物技术公司和非营利组织的支持来支付其中的一小部分奖项，但是，近年来 ANTR 的捐款不断减少，尽管我们将继续寻求私营部门的资助，我们预计未来几年捐款不会高于近期水平。该申请要求总直接费用为 24,000 美元，用于支持向申请的美国机构的顶尖研究生/博士后研究员提供实习生奖励（每位学生/博士后奖励 1000 美元）。需要额外资金来部分支持会议前一天举行的实习生研讨会。 ASNTR 和教育培训委员会吸收并鼓励妇女、少数民族和残疾人参与其所有活动。
