项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The specific aim of this proposal is to obtain partial funding for the co-organization of the 2016 Weinstein Cardiovascular Development and Regeneration Conference to be held on May 19-21, 2016 in Durham, NC. The 2016 Weinstein Cardiovascular Development and Regeneration Conference originated from a series of annual meetings in which investigators funded by three separate RFAs on Cardiac Development in 1986, 1988, and 1990 came together under the direction of Dr. Constance Weinstein and colleagues at the NHLBI. Ever since its inception, the 3-day Weinstein meeting has been the premier opportunity for clinicians and researchers in the field of cardiovascular development to meet and share data and ideas on various topics including experimental cardiovascular embryology, cardiac function, genetics of human cardiovascular disease, cardiac stem cell biology, and transcriptional control of gene expression. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of the Weinstein Meeting for the development and growth of the field of cardiovascular developmental biology. The Weinstein program is entirely research community driven, with several features that make it unique among scientific conferences. The objectives of each meeting are to bring together basic and clinical scientists working in the areas of cardiovascular biology, to provide an interactive forum for students, postdocs and junior investigators to present their work and interact with senior investigators, and to actively support diversity in science. Last year, in response to the growing interest and studies in the area of potential translational cardiac repair, the Weinstein Cardiovascular Development Conference was renamed the Weinstein Cardiovascular Development and Regeneration Conference. In this proposal financial support is requested for the 2016 Weinstein meeting to be held in Boston. Funds will be used 1) to reduce student registration fees, 2) to provide financial assistance for under-represented groups, and 3) to support general meeting obligations. Narrative: Congenital heart defects and heart disease are among the most widespread and costly health issues in the United States and worldwide. The Weinstein Conference annually brings together clinical and basic scientists to discuss the latest findings about the underlying causes and potential cures for cardiovascular abnormalities and disease. This proposal seeks support from NIH to partially fund the 2016 Weinstein Cardiovascular Development and Regenerative Conference in Durham, NC.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的具体目的是为联合组织将于 2016 年 5 月 19 日至 21 日在北卡罗来纳州达勒姆举行的 2016 年韦恩斯坦心血管发育和再生会议获得部分资金。心血管发育与再生会议起源于一系列年会，研究人员在 1986 年由三个关于心脏发育的独立 RFA 资助， 1988 年和 1990 年在 NHLBI 的 Constance Weinstein 博士及其同事的指导下召开，自成立以来，为期 3 天的 Weinstein 会议一直是心血管发展领域讲坛和研究人员见面和分享的绝佳机会。包括实验心血管胚胎学、心脏功能、人类心血管疾病遗传学、心脏干细胞生物学和基因表达转录控制在内的各种主题的数据和想法对于韦恩斯坦会议的重要性怎么估计都不为过。心血管发育生物学领域的发展和发展完全是由研究界驱动的，其多项特点使其在科学会议中独一无二。每次会议的目标是将从事该领域工作的基础和临床科学家聚集在一起。心血管生物学，为学生、博士后和初级研究人员提供一个互动论坛，展示他们的工作并与高级研究人员互动，并积极支持去年，为了响应潜在转化心脏修复领域日益增长的兴趣和研究，韦恩斯坦心血管发展会议更名为韦恩斯坦心血管发展和再生会议。 2016 年韦恩斯坦会议将在波士顿举行，资金将用于 1) 减少学生注册费，2) 为代表性不足的群体提供经济援助，以及 3) 支持股东大会义务。叙述：先天性心脏病和心脏病是美国和世界范围内最普遍和代价最高的健康问题之一，韦恩斯坦会议每年都会聚集临床和基础科学家，讨论有关心血管异常和潜在治疗方法的最新发现。该提案寻求 NIH 的支持，为 2016 年在北卡罗来纳州达勒姆举行的韦恩斯坦心血管发育和再生会议提供部分资金。
