This award will support the inaugural meeting of the Southeast Neuroscience Consortium(SENC). This organization was created by the merger of the Southeast Nerve Net (SENN)(founded in 1983) and the Georgia South Carolina Neuroscience Consortium (GA/SC-NC) Sinceits inception, the focus of SENN meetings has been comparative neuroscience while that of theGASCNC has been systems neuroscience. Thus, meetings of the SENC will encompass thespectrum of modern neuroscience.The primary goals of meetings of the SENC will be to provide a forum for students andearly postdocs to give talks in a supportive environment where they get exposure to a largeaudience and, at the same time, allow neuroscientists from across the South East to cometogether. The majority if not all oral sessions will be set aside for students, thereby providingthem a rare opportunity to fine tune their speaking skills before encountering the moreimpersonal audiences they would likely encounter at large national (i.e. Society forNeuroscience) or international meetings. To facilitate student participation, a significant portionof the award will be assigned to cover the travel costs of student participants. A major effort willbe made to attract students from two year colleges, where neuroscience is typically poorlyrepresented, and Historically Black Colleges and other minority institutions.All told, we expect this meeting will enhance student training, enhance collabora

该奖项将支持东南神经科学联盟（SENC）的成立大会。该组织由东南神经网络（SENN）（成立于1983年）和格鲁吉亚南卡罗来纳州神经科学联盟（GA/SC-NC）合并而成。因此，SENC的会议将涵盖现代神经科学的各个领域。SENC会议的主要目标是为学生和博士后提供一个论坛，让他们在一个支持性的环境中进行演讲，让他们接触到大量的观众，同时，让来自东南部的神经科学家聚集在一起。大多数（如果不是所有）口语课程将为学生保留，从而为他们提供了一个难得的机会，在遇到他们可能在大型国家（即神经科学学会）或国际会议上遇到的更客观的听众之前，微调他们的口语技能。为方便学生参与，奖项的一大部分将用于支付学生参与者的旅费。一个主要的努力将是吸引学生从两年制大学，在那里神经科学是典型的代表性不足，和历史上的黑人大学和其他少数民族机构。总而言之，我们希望这次会议将加强学生的培训，加强合作，
