DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This conference grant proposes a one-day symposium sponsored by the International Society for Complementary Medicine Research (ISCMR), to be held the day before the North American Research Conference on Complementary & Integrative Medicine (NARCCIM): Collaboration to Promote Scientific Discovery & Health. The ISCMR symposium theme has been harmonized with the main conference, but in contrast to the latter's predominant North American focus, our symposium will explicitly highlight international collaborations, and unique basic science approaches being developed on other continents. International CAM research meetings now take place every three years, as part of an agreed upon rotation among European, Asian, and North American venues; NARCCIM is the north American component of this rotation. ISCMR helped to coordinate the emergence of this rotation, and participates/collaborates in each annual meeting with the main local sponsors. In addition, ISCMR board representatives and other active members of the Society are participating on various NARCCIM committees, due both to the explicit decision of NARCCIM to seek ISCMR input (e.g. on program and scientific review committees), and to the participation of ISCMR members in CAHCIM activities. The symposium proposed here supplements the NARCCIM in three important ways. First, the morning plenary focuses on the types of multidisciplinary cross-national research studies that are made strong by patterns of diversity that do not exist within individual countries. Secondly, the afternoon plenary, highlighting novel biomarkers and mechanisms of action of CAM therapies emerging from research in locales other than North America, offers the potential for building new collaborations and developing new research directions. Finally, the interactive afternoon session will have conference speakers, their research team members and conference attendees join special interest groups to identify critical next steps (synthesis papers, synthetic workshops, and collaborative research projects), prepare brief outlines of those consensus concepts, and present the best back to the group. This activity is designed to enhance the likelihood of new collaborations and research directions resulting from the symposium. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This symposium, "International Collaborations to Enhance the Science of CAM: Past, Present, and Future," is being organized and sponsored by the International Society for Complementary Medicine Research (ISCMR). The ISCMR symposium will be held on May 12, 2009, as a one-day pre-conference meeting in Minneapolis MN to the North American Research Conference on Complementary and Integrative Medicine (NARCCIM). NARCCIM has the theme: "Collaboration to Promote Scientific Discovery and Health". The ISCMR program and theme were designed to harmonize with the main conference, and to showcase significant international collaborative research. The symposium includes 8 plenary speakers arriving from North America, South America, Europe, and the Middle East. In addition, it provides a structured opportunity for networking to develop new research initiatives that exploit the advantages of international collaboration. As the number of scientists involved in research on complementary and integrative medicine grows around the world and the science matures, the need for and the value of network-building also increases.

描述（由申请人提供）：本次会议拨款提议由国际补充医学研究协会 (ISCMR) 主办为期一天的研讨会，将于北美补充与综合医学研究会议 (NARCCIM) 的前一天举行：合作促进科学发现与健康。 ISCMR 研讨会的主题已与主会议保持一致，但与后者主要关注北美相反，我们的研讨会将明确强调国际合作以及其他大陆正在开发的独特基础科学方法。国际 CAM 研究会议现在每三年举行一次，作为欧洲、亚洲和北美会议地点轮流商定的一部分； NARCCIM 是此次轮换的北美部分。 ISCMR 帮助协调了这种轮换的出现，并与当地主要赞助商参加/合作参加每次年会。此外，由于 NARCCIM 明确决定寻求 ISCMR 的意见（例如在计划和科学审查委员会上），并且由于 ISCMR 成员参与CAHCIM 活动。这里提议的研讨会在三个重要方面补充了 NARCCIM。首先，上午的全体会议重点讨论多学科跨国研究的类型，这些研究因单个国家内不存在的多样性模式而变得强大。其次，下午的全体会议强调了北美以外地区研究中出现的新型生物标志物和 CAM 疗法的作用机制，为建立新的合作和开发新的研究方向提供了潜力。最后，下午的互动会议将让会议发言人、他们的研究团队成员和与会者加入特殊兴趣小组，以确定接下来的关键步骤（综合论文、综合研讨会和合作研究项目），准备这些共识概念的简要大纲，并提出最好回到集体。这项活动旨在提高研讨会产生新合作和研究方向的可能性。 公共健康相关性：本次研讨会“加强 CAM 科学的国际合作：过去、现在和未来”由国际补充医学研究学会 (ISCMR) 组织和赞助。 ISCMR 研讨会将于 2009 年 5 月 12 日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行，作为北美补充和综合医学研究会议 (NARCCIM) 的为期一天的会前会议。 NARCCIM 的主题是：“合作促进科学发现和健康”。 ISCMR 计划和主题旨在与主会议协调一致，并展示重要的国际合作研究。本次研讨会包括来自北美、南美、欧洲和中东的 8 位全体演讲嘉宾。此外，它还为建立网络提供了一个结构化的机会，以开发利用国际合作优势的新研究计划。随着世界各地参与补充和综合医学研究的科学家数量不断增加以及科学的成熟，网络建设的需求和价值也在增加。
