This proposal helps support the annual South East Nerve Net Conference (SENN). The primary goals of this conference are to: 1. Provide a venue for students to present their work to neuroscientists throughout the region. 2. Promote comparative systems neurobiology research and research on the neural basis of behavior. 3. Expand the participation of women and historically under-represented groups of people. The meeting provides an attractive venue for students to give presentations. For most students, this is the first opportunity to speak at a scientific meeting. Our aim is to preserve the friendly format for students while making this a large enough meeting to give them exposure to scientists outside of their own institutions. The format of the meeting is generally to have a local keynote speaker on Friday evening with a welcome reception. On Saturday there is a full day of short talks by students and post-docs, followed by another keynote talk. The evening is filled with posters and dinner. The formula is varied depending upon the venue. Plans for enhancements to the meeting include: academicsurvival skills workshops, public outreach programs, and mini-interviews for undergraduates. Specific efforts will be made to increase participation by under-represented groups and to highlight their research successes. Travel fellowships will be provided to students to increase the accessibility of the meeting. The meeting venue rotates between Atlanta and two sites in Florida: the Whitney Laboratory and Florida State University. The meeting is co-sponsored by the International Society for Neuroethology and local host Institutions. The Atlanta location is central to most of the South East. The Florida sites represent the historical constituency of this meeting. The South East Nerve Net aids in training students for careers in neuroscience by introducing them to researchers from across the Southeastern United States.

该提案有助于支持年度东南神经网络会议（SENN）。主要目标 这次会议的目的是： 1. 为学生提供一个向神经科学家展示他们的工作的场所 该地区。 2. 推动比较系统神经生物学研究和神经基础研究 行为。 3. 扩大妇女和历史上代表性不足的群体的参与。这 会议为学生提供了一个有吸引力的演讲场所。对于大多数学生来说，这是第一次 有机会在科学会议上发言。我们的目标是在保持对学生友好的形式的同时 使这次会议足够大，让他们能够接触到自己机构之外的科学家。 会议的形式通常是在周五晚上有一位当地的主旨发言人并进行欢迎 接待。周六，学生和博士后会进行一整天的简短演讲，然后是另一场演讲 主题演讲。晚上充满了海报和晚餐。公式因情况而异 场地。会议的改进计划包括：学术生存技能研讨会、公众宣传 项目和本科生迷你面试。将作出具体努力，以增加参与 代表性不足的群体并强调他们的研究成功。旅行奖学金将提供给 学生增加会议的可访问性。会议地点在亚特兰大和两地之间轮换 佛罗里达州的地点：惠特尼实验室和佛罗里达州立大学。本次会议由以下机构共同主办 国际神经行为学学会和当地主办机构。亚特兰大的位置是大多数城市的中心 东南部。佛罗里达州站点代表了本次会议的历史选区。东南部 Nerve Net 通过向学生介绍来自以下国家的研究人员来帮助培训学生从事神经科学职业： 横跨美国东南部。
