Planning Visit to Santiago, Chile, to Organize an International Neuroendocrinology Workshop, Santiago, Chile, November 2009Tao-Yiao John WuHenry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military MedicineOISE-09244279ABSTRACTThis U.S - Chile Planning Visit award will support five senior researchers from the U.S., under the leadership of Dr. T. John Wu of the Uniformed Services University, on a workshop-planning visit to Santiago, Chile, in November 2009. The goal of this trip is to organize an international neuroendocrine workshop to be held at the University of Chile. This face-to-face meeting will bring together the five U.S. neuroendocrinologists with counterparts at the University of Chile led by Dr. Hernan Lara. The planning visit will accomplish the following: (1) to establish the scope of topics to be discussed at the workshop; (2) to invigorate collaborations and provide new linkages between U.S. and South American neuroendocrinologists; (3) to identify possible training opportunities for young scientists from the United States and South America; and (4) to determine possible funding mechanisms to support participants from both North and South America. The meeting will be held over 4 days and include sessions to discuss various aspects of the workshop as well as visits by the US scientists to laboratory facilities at the University of Chile and to possible conference venues. While it is well established that there is a strong group of neuroendocrinologists in South America, US interactions with them are limited. This face-to-face planning visit is part of a long-term effort to establish collaborative interactions between US and South American scientists and trainees. This visit will provide a venue for discussions of potential scientific collaborations and training opportunities in the U.S. and in South America. It is anticipated that the meeting will result in joint submission of a workshop proposal to NSF and to funding agencies in South America.

计划访问智利圣地亚哥，组织国际神经内分泌学研讨会，智利，圣地亚哥，2009年11月。tao - yiao John Wu, henry M. Jackson军事医学进步基金会美国-智利计划访问奖将支持5名美国高级研究人员，在军警大学T. John Wu博士的领导下，于2009年11月访问智利圣地亚哥，进行研讨会计划访问。这次旅行的目的是组织在智利大学举行的国际神经内分泌研讨会。这次面对面的会议将汇集五名美国神经内分泌学家和埃尔南·拉拉博士领导的智利大学的同行。策划访问将完成以下工作：(1)确定研讨会讨论的主题范围；(2)促进美国和南美神经内分泌学家之间的合作，建立新的联系；(3)为来自美国和南美的青年科学家寻找可能的培训机会；(4)确定可能的资助机制，以支持来自北美和南美的参与者。会议将持续4天，包括讨论研讨会各个方面的会议，以及美国科学家访问智利大学的实验室设施和可能的会议场地。虽然南美洲有一群强大的神经内分泌学家是公认的，但美国与他们的互动有限。这次面对面的规划访问是在美国和南美科学家和学员之间建立合作互动的长期努力的一部分。这次访问将为在美国和南美洲讨论潜在的科学合作和培训机会提供一个场所。预计这次会议将导致向国家科学基金会和南美洲的资助机构联合提交一份讲习班提案。
