Rocky Mountain Regional Neuroscience Group, May 19, 2001 Denver, CO

落基山脉地区神经科学小组的年度会议为这个地理上孤立的地区的科学家提供了一个独特的机会，以交流神经科学的结果和想法。 与会者听取了国际知名的主题演讲，了解正在进行的研究在区域实验室，并满足来自地区大学和学院的神经科学家。 来自神经科学，心理学和生物学系的教师和学生，来自较小的学院以及主要大学，提供互动，促进本科生的参与和研究生培训信息的交流，以及潜在的合作。 该奖项为会议提供部分资金，主要是为来自偏远学校的与会者提供小额旅行奖，以帮助支付学生费用，并出版摘要卷。 这次会议将对许多参加的学生的职业选择产生影响，并将促进所代表的许多学院之间的合作机会。

The annual meeting of the Rocky Mountain Regional Neuroscience Group provides a unique opportunity for scientists in this geographically isolated region to interchange results and ideas in neuroscience. Participants hear an internationally known keynote speaker, learn about ongoing research in regional laboratories, and meet neuroscientists from regional universities and colleges. Faculty and students from departments of neuroscience, psychology, and biology, from smaller colleges as well as major universities come to provide interactions that foster undergraduate participation and exchange of graduate training information, as well as potential collaborations. This award provides partial funding for the conference, primarily for small travel awards for participants from distant schools, to help defray student expenses, and for publication of an abstract volume. This meeting will have an impact on career choices of many students who attend, and will foster collaborative opportunities between the many colleges represented.
