ABSTRACT Current projections suggest the burden of stroke in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will escalate over coming decades due to an acceleration in prevalence of risk factors, against a background of ill-prepared health systems to deliver appropriate prevention and treatment solutions. Moreover, while the genetic architecture of a population may play an instrumental role in risk factor predisposition & ultimately the manifestation of stroke, knowledge about role of genes & their interactions with environmental factors to cause stroke among Africans remains fragmentary & inadequately explored. Nevertheless, too few stroke studies have been conducted in Africa to date due to a severe lack of regional stroke research capacity. The Sub-Saharan Africa Conference on Stroke (SSACS) 2020 is the first dedicated cross-national scientific forum focused on cerebrovascular disease in SSA, with the overarching goal of bringing together key stakeholders, identifying gaps in knowledge, setting priorities for stroke research, and identifying/supporting promising young investigators with an interest in Stroke research. SSACS 2020 is a one-day symposium, which will be held in mid-July 2020 in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, featuring plenary and keynote talks by distinguished researchers, balanced symposia, poster sessions, and community engagement sessions. SSACS is a collaborative initiative with several global organizations including the World Stroke Organization, World Federation of Neurology, among others. The involvement of these groups brings to this important effort, wide access to relevant scientific disciplines, volunteer engagement from leaders in the field, worthwhile in-kind resources, and proven experience in implementing high impact programs. Basic scientists, translational researchers and clinicians, seasoned investigators and early career scientists will be invited, but recognizing that early stage investigators will be the future of scientific progress in SSA, a major emphasis is to encourage the active involvement of an early career cohort of investigators. This proposal specifically requests support for 20 Young Investigator Travel Awards, which we expect to be an integral part of our strategy to recruit, retain and actively engage young SSA investigators in stroke research. SSACS Specific Aims are: To host a forum which will identify knowledge gaps and provide opportunities for researchers from diverse disciplines to discuss cutting-edge research about stroke epidemiology in SSA; 2) To accelerate collaborations via networking opportunities among stakeholders; 3) To award travel scholarships to 20 multidisciplinary Post-Doctoral Scholars from a regional pool committed to stroke research careers ; 4) To disseminate knowledge generated from SSACS via scientific & public venues; 5) To evaluate effectiveness of SSACS by assessing number of attendees, and Young Investigator Awardee Achievements.

抽象的 当前的预测表明，撒哈拉以南非洲（SSA）的中风负担将在未来几十年中升级 由于危险因素的患病率加速，在准备不足的卫生系统的背景下以交付 适当的预防和治疗解决方案。而且，虽然人口的遗传结构可能 在危险因素倾向以及中风的表现中发挥工具作用，了解 基因的作用及其与环境因素引起非洲人中风的互动仍然是零散的 ＆探索不足。然而，迄今为止，由于一个 严重缺乏区域中风研究能力。撒哈拉以南非洲中风会议（SSACS）2020 是第一个专门的跨国科学论坛，专注于SSA的脑血管疾病， 将关键利益相关者汇集在一起​​，确定知识的差距，为中风设定优先级的总体目标 研究，并确定/支持有前途的年轻研究人员，对中风研究感兴趣。 SSACS 2020年是为期一天的研讨会，该研讨会将于2020年7月中旬在埃塞俄比亚的Bahir Dar举行，由全体会议和 杰出研究人员，平衡的研讨会，海报会议和社区参与的主题演讲 会议。 SSACS是与包括世界中风在内的几个全球组织的合作计划 组织，世界神经病学联合会等。这些群体的参与带来了 重要的努力，广泛获取相关科学学科，该领域领导者的志愿者参与， 值得实现的资源，并在实施高影响力计划方面具有验证的经验。基础科学家， 将邀请翻译研究人员和临床医生，经验丰富的研究人员和早期职业科学家，但 认识到早期研究人员将是SSA科学进步的未来，主要重点是 鼓励积极参与早期职业调查人员。该建议专门要求 支持20个年轻调查员旅行奖，我们希望这是我们招募战略不可或缺的一部分， 保留并积极与年轻的SSA研究人员参与中风研究。 SSACS特定的目标是：托管 论坛将确定知识差距，并为研究人员提供各种学科的机会 讨论有关SSA中风流行病学的尖端研究； 2）通过网络加速协作 利益相关者之间的机会； 3）将旅行奖学金授予20个多学科的博士后学者 从致力于中风研究职业的区域池； 4）传播SSAC产生的知识 通过科学和公共场所； 5）通过评估与会者的数量来评估SSAC的有效性， 年轻的调查员获奖者成就。
