Support for Junior Investigators at the Sun Valley Workshop on Skeletal Biology; Sun Valley, Idaho; August 2-5, 2015

该奖项提供资金，支持初级调查人员，包括代表不足的少数族裔，参加2015年8月2日至5日在爱达荷州太阳谷举行的太阳谷研讨会：肌肉骨骼生物学。讲习班的总体目标是增进对研究骨骼生物学和预防/治疗骨骼疾病，包括骨骼对机械负荷的生物反应的许多学科的了解。另一个目标是发展跨学科合作，这对年轻的科学家特别重要。2015年，研讨会的总主题是“解决旧问题的新机制”，以纪念长期的创始主席WSS Jee和太阳谷研讨会上提出的概念。该奖项将对青年调查员和受训人员参加讲习班产生重大影响。这项支助还将有助于将职业发展研讨会定为常设研讨会。我们的目标是使这一职业发展机会成为研讨会的标志性组成部分。

This award provides funding to support travel awards for junior investigators, including underrepresented minorities, to attend the Sun Valley Workshop: Musculoskeletal Biology in Sun Valley, Idaho, on August 2-5, 2015. The overall objective of the Workshop is to improve understanding across the many disciplines that study skeletal biology and the prevention/treatment of skeletal disease including the biological response of bone to mechanical loading. Another goal is to develop the interdisciplinary collaborations which are especially important for younger scientists.In 2015 the overall theme of the Workshop is "New Mechanisms for Old Problems", honoring the long-term and founding chairman WSS Jee and the concepts initiated at Sun Valley Workshops. The award will have a major impact on the participation of young investigators and trainees at the Workshop ensure. The support also will help establish as permanent the Career Development seminar. The goal is for this professional development opportunity to become a signature component of the workshop.
