DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Focused Ultrasound Foundation (FUSF) is a nonprofit organization created to accelerate the development and adoption of focused ultrasound-an innovative, noninvasive therapeutic technology. Developed to its full potential, focused ultrasound could revolutionize treatments for many of today's most serious and debilitating conditions, ranging from benign and cancerous tumors to neurological conditions such as essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and stroke. The FUSF funds research, hosts workshops and symposia, leads advocacy and patient support initiatives, creates Centers of Excellence, and serves as the nexus of a worldwide collaborative research community. Our diverse and multidisciplinary community includes researchers, clinicians, government officials and device manufacturers. An event that has become essential to our work is the International Symposium on Focused Ultrasound. Attended by leading researchers and key opinion leaders, this biennial conference provides a unique opportunity for participants to learn about leading edge research and recent developments, form and expand collaborative endeavors, and chart future initiatives. FUSF's symposia are recognized as the most comprehensive, energizing and well-attended meetings in the field of focused ultrasound. Scheduled for October 12-16, 2014 in Bethesda, Maryland, our fourth international symposium will encompass all types of image guided focused ultrasound treatments. The agenda has been expanded to three and a half days and will include plenary sessions, panel discussions, poster presentations and technical exhibits. FUSF plans to offer Young Investigator travel grants to fifteen early career scientists-graduate students, research fellows, clinical fellows and junior faculty from around the world-enabling them to attend our 2014 symposium. In addition to honored status and special recognition, grant recipients will present their focused ultrasound research and interact with senior investigators and respected thought-leaders. Successfully introduced at our 2010 symposium, FUSF's Young Investigators Award Program has become a coveted career development opportunity. Through this application, the Foundation proposes the use of NIH funding to support our travel grant initiatives in 2014. Total scientific meeting support of $19,00 is requested. These funds will be used to cover registration and up to $1,500 in travel and lodging expenses for up to fifteen Young Investigators as well as administrative overhead for executing the program.

描述（由申请人提供）：聚焦超声基金会 (FUSF) 是一个非营利组织，旨在加速聚焦超声（一种创新的非侵入性治疗技术）的开发和采用。充分发挥聚焦超声的潜力，聚焦超声可以彻底改变当今许多最严重和衰弱疾病的治疗方法，从良性和癌性肿瘤到特发性震颤、帕金森病、癫痫和中风等神经系统疾病。 FUSF 资助研究、举办研讨会和座谈会、领导倡导和患者支持计划、创建卓越中心，并充当全球合作研究社区的纽带。我们多元化、多学科的社区包括研究人员、临床医生、政府官员和设备制造商。国际聚焦超声研讨会对我们的工作至关重要。这次两年一度的会议由顶尖研究人员和关键意见领袖出席，为与会者提供了一个独特的机会，让他们了解前沿研究和最新发展、形成和扩大合作努力以及制定未来计划。 FUSF 的研讨会被认为是聚焦超声领域最全面、最有活力、参加人数最多的会议。我们的第四次国际研讨会定于 2014 年 10 月 12 日至 16 日在马里兰州贝塞斯达举行，将涵盖所有类型的图像引导聚焦超声治疗。议程已延长至三天半，将包括全体会议、小组讨论、海报展示和技术展览。 FUSF 计划向来自世界各地的 15 名早期职业科学家（研究生、研究员、临床研究员和初级教员）提供青年研究员旅行补助金，使他们能够参加我们 2014 年的研讨会。除了荣誉地位和特殊认可之外，资助者还将展示他们的重点超声研究，并与高级研究人员和受人尊敬的思想领袖互动。 FUSF 的青年研究者奖励计划在我们 2010 年的研讨会上成功推出，现已成为令人垂涎的职业发展机会。通过此申请，基金会提议使用 NIH 资金来支持我们 2014 年的旅行补助计划。要求科学会议支持总额为 19,00 美元。这些资金将用于支付最多 15 名年轻研究员的注册费用、最多 1,500 美元的旅行和住宿费用，以及执行该计划的行政管理费用。
