项目摘要

The Gatlinburg Conference on Research in ID/DD is an annual scientific meeting designed to advance translational biobehavioral research on intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The meeting provides a forum for investigators at all career stages to present and discuss cutting-edge biobehavioral research and theory. The conference focuses on communicating state-of-the-art advances in our understanding of the causes and consequences of various disorders involving intellectual disability, as well as to reveal new interventions designed to ameliorate specific disorders. Each year’s conference has a scientific theme that is explored through plenary lectures, although symposia or poster sessions address a broad range of topics on IDD from basic to translational and applied science. The themes are designed to expose participants to theoretical frameworks, methods, and findings from other disciplines and fields of study, including from basic and translational neuroscience, as well as fields focused on cultural influences on development and IDD. Historically, the specific aims of the Gatlinburg Conference have been to (a) promote the exchange of scientific findings, theoretical perspectives, and methodological innovations and thereby accelerate, and encourage innovation in, translational research on IDD, (b) facilitate collaborative interdisciplinary research on IDD, (c) ensure that biobehavioral scientists are exposed to relevant translational and basic science findings, methods, and perspectives from neurobiology and medicine, thereby enriching their research and further supporting interdisciplinarity, and (d) serve as an interdisciplinary training and career development resource for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career faculty. More recently the aims have been modified to include goals to increase the diversity of the IDD research community by supporting the development of early career scientists from under-represented groups. These successful aims are largely unchanged from the previously funded application; however, the current proposal includes several innovations related to communication of science to nonscientific audiences, and an emphasis on rigor and reproducibility in research, both of which dovetail well with the conference’s longstanding emphasis on the development of junior scientists.

加特林堡 ID/DD 研究会议是一年一度的科学会议，旨在推动会议提供了关于智力和发育障碍的转化生物行为研究（IDD）。为各个职业阶段的研究人员提供一个论坛，展示和讨论前沿的生物行为研究和会议的重点是交流我们对理论的理解的最新进展。涉及智力障碍的各种疾病的原因和后果，并揭示新的旨在改善特定疾病的干预措施每年的会议都有一个科学主题：尽管研讨会或海报会议讨论了广泛的主题，但通过全体讲座进行了探讨 IDD 从基础科学到转化科学和应用科学，这些主题旨在让参与者接触到知识。其他学科和研究领域（包括基础学科）的理论框架、方法和发现和转化神经科学，以及专注于文化对发展和 IDD 影响的领域。从历史上看，加特林堡会议的具体目标是 (a) 促进科学交流发现、理论观点和方法创新，从而加速和鼓励 IDD 转化研究的创新，(b) 促进 IDD 跨学科合作研究，(c) 确保生物行为科学家接触到相关的转化和基础科学发现、方法、以及神经生物学和医学的观点，从而丰富了他们的研究并进一步支持跨学科性，以及（d）作为研究生的跨学科培训和职业发展资源最近，目标已被修改为包括学生、博士后研究员和早期职业教师。目标是通过支持早期职业发展来增加 IDD 研究社区的多样性这些成功的目标与之前的目标基本没有变化。然而，当前的提案包括一些与通信相关的创新。向非科学受众传播科学，并强调研究的严谨性和可重复性，这两者与会议长期以来对青年科学家发展的重视相吻合。
