Project Summary/Abstract: The mission of AGE is (i) to promote biomedical aging studies intended to increase the functional life span of humans (ii) To increase knowledge of biogerontology among relevant communities of research and practice and (iii) to inform, facilitate and engage the public regarding the progress and potential of aging research to deliver a long and healthy life. This mission is closely aligned to that of NIA; accordingly the society seeks financial support for our Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM). Our ASM is the primary means by which this mission is delivered. It is at once the only annual meeting in the USA exclusively focused on biogerontology and one of the longest standing and most prestigious aging meetings in the world. To facilitate attendance by the widest possible range of stakeholders, the location of AGE meetings is changed annually. Accordingly, recent meetings have taken place in Seattle (2016), Los Angeles, (2015), San Antonio (2014), Baltimore (2013) and Fort Worth (2012). The 2017 meeting is the first AGE has held in New York. The popularity of the destination, the presence of some of the world’s most highly ranked universities and the relative ease of travel were central to the selection of this city and are expected to draw high attendance, especially from Europe which will increase the reach and diversity of our meeting. Our 2017 meeting will address three major goals. Firstly, to deepen the knowledge of attendees by devoting sessions to key research fields under-represented at past AGE meetings (e.g. replicative senescence, inflammation and immune senescence). Secondly, to broaden the expertise available to the field by devoting sessions to new model systems (both human and non-human). Lastly, to build the “social capital of science” by helping researchers of all experience levels and from laboratories across the world form a cohesive and mutually supporting community. This is being delivered with a cross-cutting emphasis on (i) wherever possible inviting scientists who have made exceptional research contributions but are not “regulars on the conference circuit,” (ii) considering the translational aspects of the work within the context of each session, (iii) emphasizing participation by junior investigators and trainees and (iv) ensuring gender equality. Of the invited speakers more than half have never spoken or attended an AGE meeting before. AGE is a primary vehicle of career progression for young gerontologists. The New York meeting seeks to enhance this by hosting special networking and data blitz sessions for pre-doctoral students, allowing them to meet new collaborators and offering new pairings the opportunity to co-publish reviews in our journal Geroscience (formally AGE, current impact factor= 3.45).

项目摘要/摘要：AGE 的使命是 (i) 促进生物医学衰老研究，旨在增加 人类的功能寿命 (ii) 增加相关社区的生物老年学知识 研究和实践，以及 (iii) 向公众通报、促进和吸引公众了解以下方面的进展和潜力 衰老研究以实现长寿和健康的生活，这一使命与 NIA 的使命密切相关； 社会为我们的年度科学会议（ASM）寻求财政支持。 我们的 ASM 是实现这一使命的主要手段，这也是该领域唯一的年度会议。 美国专注于生物老年学，是历史最悠久、最负盛名的老龄化会议之一 为了方便尽可能多的利益相关者参加，AGE 会议的地点 因此，最近的会议在西雅图（2016 年）、洛杉矶（2015 年）、旧金山举行。 安东尼奥（2014 年）、巴尔的摩（2013 年）和沃斯堡（2012 年） 2017 年会议是 AGE 在纽省举行的第一次会议。 约克这个目的地的受欢迎程度、一些世界排名最高的大学的存在以及 相对便利的旅行是选择这个城市的核心，预计会吸引大量游客， 特别是来自欧洲的会议，这将扩大我们会议的影响范围和多样性。 我们2017年的会议将实现三个主要目标：首先，通过奉献来加深与会者的知识。 在过去的 AGE 会议上，关键研究领域的会议代表性不足（例如复制衰老、 其次，通过致力于扩大该领域可用的专业知识 最后，建立“科学的社会资本”。 帮助来自世界各地不同经验水平的研究人员形成一个有凝聚力、相互支持的团队 支持社区。 此项工作的跨领域重点是：(i) 尽可能邀请做出过相关贡献的科学家 杰出的研究贡献，但不是“巡回会议的常客”，(ii) 考虑到 每届会议范围内工作的翻译方面，(iii) 强调初级人员的参与 调查员和实习生以及 (iv) 确保性别平等 在受邀演讲者中，一半以上有。 以前从未在 AGE 会议上发言或参加过。 AGE 是年轻老年学家职业发展的主要工具，纽约会议旨在实现这一目标。 通过为博士前学生举办特殊的网络和数据闪电战会议来加强这一点，使他们能够 结识新的合作者并为新的合作伙伴提供在我们的期刊上共同发表评论的机会 Geroscience（正式名称 AGE，当前影响因子 = 3.45）。
