DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 application seeks funding to support travel awards for students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the annual meeting of the American Society for Neural Therapy and Repair (ASNTR) 2009. Since its founding in 1994, the ASNTR has convened yearly each April/May in Clearwater, Florida. At the meeting various research advances in the fields of transplantation, neuroengineering and gene therapy applied to neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury are discussed via platform and poster presentations. ASNTR focuses on treatment strategies throughout all its sessions. Thus, students and postdoctoral fellows not only learn the basic sciences, they also learn translational issues discussed between basic scientists and clinicians. Therefore, ASNTR is truly a unique gathering. Attendance of this meeting ranges between 125-200 registrants. Each year the ASNTR Education and Training Committee encourages students/postdoctoral fellows to submit their abstracts in a competition and the top rated applicants receive travel awards to cover the cost of their meeting attendance and travel. ASNTR has always placed a high priority on funding travel awards for students and post-doctoral fellows. In the past ASNTR has received donations from biotech companies and non-profit organizations to cover these travel awards, However, in recent years ASNTR has seen these contributions dwindle and although ASNTR will continue to seek funding from the private sector, we do not anticipate any increase in contributions above recent levels in the coming years. Therefore NIH funding for this activity is critical. This application requests $20,000 in total direct costs to support travel awards for the top 20 graduate students/postdoctoral fellows from US institutions that apply (awards of $1000 per student/postdoc). ASNTR and the Education and Training Committee includes and encourages participation of women, minorities and persons with disabilities in all its activities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This application seeks funding for travel awards for graduate students and postdocs to attend the annual meeting of the American Society for Neural Therapy and Repair. This meeting will allow young and senior scientists and doctors working to discover new treatments for neurological disorders to come together and discuss their new research findings. This meeting will potentially allow new research collaborations to occur that could lead to improved treatments.

说明（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 2009 年美国神经治疗和修复学会 (ANTR) 年会的旅行奖励。自 1994 年成立以来，ANTR 已召集了每年四月/五月在佛罗里达州克利尔沃特举行。会议通过平台和墙报展示，讨论了应用于帕金森病、亨廷顿病、阿尔茨海默病、中风、脊髓损伤和创伤性脑损伤等神经系统疾病的移植、神经工程和基因治疗领域的各种研究进展。 ASNTR 在其所有会议中都重点关注治疗策略。因此，学生和博士后不仅学习基础科学，还学习基础科学家和临床医生之间讨论的转化问题。因此，ANTR 确实是一次独特的聚会。本次会议的出席人数在 125-200 人之间。每年，ANTR 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，评分最高的申请者将获得旅行奖励，以支付其出席会议和旅行的费用。 ASNTR 始终高度重视为学生和博士后研究员提供旅行奖励。过去，ASNTR 已收到生物技术公司和非营利组织的捐款来支付这些旅行奖励，但近年来，ANTR 的捐款逐渐减少，尽管 ASNTR 将继续向私营部门寻求资金，但我们预计不会有任何此类捐款。未来几年的捐款将高于近期水平。因此，NIH 为这项活动提供资金至关重要。该申请要求总直接费用为 20,000 美元，用于支持为申请的美国机构的前 20 名研究生/博士后研究员提供旅费奖励（每位学生/博士后奖励 1000 美元）。 ASNTR 和教育和培训委员会鼓励妇女、少数民族和残疾人参与其所有活动。 公共健康相关性：此申请为研究生和博士后参加美国神经治疗和修复学会年会寻求旅行奖励资金。这次会议将使致力于发现神经系统疾病新疗法的年轻和资深科学家和医生聚集在一起，讨论他们的新研究成果。这次会议可能会促成新的研究合作，从而改善治疗方法。
