DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests financial support from the National Institute on Aging for the 2012-2014 Annual Scientific Meetings organized by the Biological Sciences Section of The Gerontological Society of America (GSA). The GSA, founded in 1945, is the oldest and largest national interdisciplinary scientific organization devoted to the advancement of gerontological research. The Society has approximately 5,200 members organized within four (4) major sections; Biological Sciences, Health Sciences, Behavioral and Social Sciences and Social Research, Policy, and Practice Sections and has an active student section (Emerging Scholar and Professional Organization). The overall goal of the proposed biological sciences sessions is to educate members of GSA on the latest advances in the basic science research of aging and ensure that there is a mechanism for translational research across disciplines. Although there are many specialty meetings that occur each year that are focused on aging and age- related disease, the GSA Annual Scientific Meeting is the only regularly scheduled conference that brings gerontologists from multiple disciplines together to present and discuss the latest advances in aging research. This 'translational' interaction was engrained in GSA from its inception. In 1954, Dr. Ollie Randall's Presidential address to the GSA, discussed the 'growing necessity for people of different disciplines to be brought together for the mutual benefit of the enrichment of each'. The focus on translational research is also a key goal of NIH. The GSA Biological Sciences Section is dedicated to providing the highest quality program for its attendees at the GSA annual meeting and fulfilling the translational niche that links biological scientists with clinicians, psychologists, and sociologists devoted to research and education in aging. The guiding principle for reaching this goal is that the highest quality and most relevant science will emerge when basic science researchers understand the primary issues of aging from geriatricians, psychologists and sociologists- and they, in turn, understand the emerging basic science mechanisms of aging and the efficacy of interventions designed to ameliorate aging and age-related disease based on rigorous scientific investigation. The GSA Annual Scientific Meeting is unique in its ability to foster such a dynamic, interdisciplinary approach. Importantly, we are cognizant of our primary responsibility to educate researchers on the most important emerging scientific concepts that would potentially result in incorporation of these advances into their own scientific endeavors. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The progress in understanding the mechanisms of aging engenders the responsibility to communicate this progress to others in related scientific fields and the public. The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) is the oldest and largest interdisciplinary organization devoted to research, education, and practice in the field of aging and has over 5,200 members dedicated to the primary mission to advance the study of aging and disseminate information among scientists, decision makers, and the general public. There is an urgent need to provide a forum where clinicians, basic scientists, educators and members of the social and psychological sciences can interact and learn from each other's research. This proposed program organized and presented by the GSA Biological Sciences Section has a unique position within the scientific community and is designed to educate not only biological scientists on advances related to mechanisms of aging from other, related disciplines but also to educate members of the Health Sciences Section and other GSA members on the latest advances in the basic science of aging that may ultimately serve to advance and improve their own research efforts and improve the quality of life for older adults.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求美国国家老年研究所的财政支持，由美国老年学会（GSA）组织的2012 - 2014年年度科学会议。 GSA成立于1945年，是最古老，最大的国家跨学科科学组织，致力于研究老年学研究。该协会在四（4）个主要部分中组织了大约5200名成员；生物科学，健康科学，行为和社会科学以及社会研究，政策和实践部分，并具有活跃的学生科（新兴的学者和专业组织）。拟议的生物科学课程的总体目标是教育GSA成员衰老基础科学研究的最新进展，并确保有跨学科的转化研究机制。 尽管每年都有许多专业的专业会议专注于衰老和与年龄相关的疾病，但GSA年度科学会议是唯一一场定期安排的会议，将来自多个学科的老年科学家聚集在一起，以展示和讨论衰老研究的最新进展。这种“翻译”相互作用从GSA开始就根植于GSA。 1954年，奥利·兰德尔（Ollie Randall）博士对GSA的总统讲话讨论了“越来越有必要将不同学科的人聚集在一起，以促进每个学科的互助。对翻译研究的关注也是NIH的关键目标。 GSA生物学科学部分致力于在GSA年度会议上为与会者提供最高质量的计划，并履行将生物科学家与临床医生，心理学家和社会学家联系起来，致力于衰老研究和教育的转化位。实现这一目标的指导原则是，当基础科学研究人员了解老年医生，心理学家和社会学家的衰老的主要问题时，将出现最高质量和最相关的科学，然后他们又理解旨在基于衰老和年龄较大的疾病的干预措施的新兴基础科学机制，以进行严格的疾病。 GSA年度科学会议在培养这种动态的跨学科方法方面是独一无二的。重要的是，我们意识到我们的主要责任是教育研究人员有关最重要的新兴科学概念，这可能会导致这些进步纳入自己的科学努力。 公共卫生相关性：理解衰老机制的进展，使他们有责任将这一进展与相关科学领域和公众中的其他人传达。美国老年学会（GSA）是最古老，最大的跨学科组织，致力于衰老领域的研究，教育和实践，拥有5200多名成员，致力于主要使命，以推进对科学家，决策者和决策者和一般公众的衰老研究和分散信息的研究。迫切需要提供一个论坛，临床医生，基础科学家，教育工作者以及社会和心理科学的成员可以从彼此的研究中进行互动和学习。该提议的计划由GSA生物科学部分组织和提出，在科学界具有独特的地位，旨在教育与其他相关学科的衰老机制相关的生物学科学家，还旨在教育健康科学部分和其他GSA成员以及其他GSA成员在成年人的基础科学方面的最终进步，以提高自己的努力，并提高自己的努力，并提高他们的努力，并提高了他们的努力。
