This workshop on the Neurobiology of Stress, to be held in Philadelphia, PA June 12-15th, brings together researchers (principal investigators and trainees) who study stress-brain interactions and the basic neurobiology of these interactions. In recent years there have been significant advances in the neurobiology of stress research. Those advances include new understanding of the neurosystems, neurochemistry, and cellular biology that supports stress responses and stress adaptation. Session topics and speakers for this Workshop have been selected to cover many of those exciting new advances. The Workshop will provide an important forum where new advances can be critically evaluated and integrated into the collective knowledge and perspectives of active basic stress researchers. Moreover, it is expected that the intensive scientific exchange will generate new ideas and collaborations that support future advances. There are significant broader impacts that will emerge from this meeting. The results will be widely disseminated in two premier journals. Assessment tools will be developed to determine the extent to which scientific exchange occurred, to assess the value of the scientific knowledge and content acquired, and any resultant collaborations or exchanges. These multifactorial tools can be broadly disseminated to organizers of other conferences. Finally, multiple opportunities exist for trainees to become engaged in the scientific program, including a specific plan to recruit female and minority students to attend the meeting. A significant portion of the requested funds will be used to fund meritorious trainees. This will help expand diversity and encourage trainees to stay in science careers and this is important for generating new ideas and new approaches towards solving problems that have plagued American society for decades.

这场关于压力的神经生物学的研讨会将于6月12日至15日在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行，聚集了研究压力与大脑相互作用以及这些相互作用的基本神经生物学的研究人员(主要研究人员和实习生)。近年来，应激的神经生物学研究取得了重大进展。这些进展包括对支持压力反应和压力适应的神经系统、神经化学和细胞生物学的新理解。本讲习班的会议主题和发言者已被选定，以涵盖许多令人振奋的新进展。讲习班将提供一个重要的论坛，在这里可以对新的进展进行批判性评估，并将其纳入积极的基本压力研究人员的集体知识和观点中。此外，预计密集的科学交流将产生支持未来进步的新想法和合作。这次会议将产生重大的更广泛的影响。结果将在两个主要期刊上广泛传播。将开发评估工具，以确定科学交流的程度，评估所获得的科学知识和内容的价值，以及由此产生的任何合作或交流。这些多因素工具可广泛传播给其他会议的组织者。最后，受训者有多种机会参与科学计划，包括招募女性和少数族裔学生参加会议的具体计划。所需资金的很大一部分将用于资助功勋受训人员。这将有助于扩大多样性，并鼓励学员留在科学职业生涯中，这对于产生新想法和新方法来解决困扰美国社会数十年的问题非常重要。
