DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Biomechanics (the effect of blood flow and pressure on tissue) plays a role in vascular biology and vascular disease. However, researchers working on different facets cardiovascular biomechanics have been operating independently of each other. Cross-fertilization of these groups has been limited. One exception has been a symposium entitled, Biomechanics, Vascular Biology, and Cardiovascular Disease, which has been held for the past 6 years in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The conference brings together researchers from various fields to bridge the gap between the fields of biomechanics, vascular biology and clinical research. Together with the original organizers of the meeting in Rotterdam, we have decided to bring the meeting to North America. The goal of bringing the meeting to the US will be to expand the international scope of the meeting, give US/North American participants (especially students and post-doctoral fellows) a better opportunity to be able to attend the meeting, and to bring together this cardiovascular biomechanics community at a single meeting within North America. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The purpose of the proposal is to create a funding mechanism that would allow students, trainees, and under-represented groups to attend the 7th Annual Symposium of Biomechanics and Vascular Biology in Cardiovascular Disease in Atlanta, Georgia, April 26 - 27, 2012.

描述（由申请人提供）：生物力学（血流和压力对组织的影响）在血管生物学和血管疾病中起作用。但是，从事不同方面的心血管生物力学工作的研究人员彼此独立运作。这些群体的交叉施肥受到限制。一个例外是一个题为“生物力学”，“血管生物学”和心血管疾病的研讨会，在过去的6年中在荷兰鹿特丹举行。该会议汇集了各个领域的研究人员，弥合生物力学，血管生物学和临床研究领域之间的差距。与鹿特丹会议的原始组织者一起，我们决定将会议带到北美。将会议带到美国的目的是扩大会议的国际范围，为我们/北美的参与者（尤其是学生和博士后研究员）一个更好的机会，可以在北美的一次会议上参加会议，并将这个心血管生物力学社区聚集在一起。 公共卫生相关性：该提案的目的是创建一种资金机制，该机制将允许学生，学员和代表性不足的团体参加乔治亚州亚特兰大的心血管疾病的第七届年度生物力学和血管生物学研讨会，2012年4月26日至27日。
