The goals of this four-day workshop on the Neurobiology of Stress are to bring together researchers from diverse disciplines and at all professional levels (undergraduate student to full professor) to share and discuss recent advances in the neurobiology of stress research, promote intensive exchange of ideas across disciplines, foster community among stress researchers, and nurture professional development for trainees and junior faculty participants. This workshop, which takes place in Newport Beach, CA, is the 4th of a biannual workshop series that offers the only small forum focused on the neurobiology of stress. The award provides support to junior faculty, trainees, and high school science teachers to attend this workshop. The intellectual merit of the workshop derives from its relatively small size, which promotes interactions and extensive exchange of ideas among participants, the assembly of top neuroscientists in the field of stress, and the multidisciplinary nature of the plenary session topics. With a substantial fraction of the speakers being women and about half of the participants being trainees, including trainees recruited through national minority scientist networks, this workshop reaches out to and offers opportunities for groups underrepresented in science. The inclusion of local science high school teachers in this workshop seeds dissemination of insights in classrooms. The topics of this workshop on the Neurobiology of Stress range from epigenetics and stress to evolutionary perspectives on stress, and incorporate recent advances in molecular biology, genetics, microbiotics, imaging, and systems biology. The format entails 5 plenary sessions with 4 speakers each; 2 roundtable sessions, one of which is dedicated to mentoring of trainees in small informal groups; poster sessions (trainee presenters only); and one keynote lecture. Workshop participants will be invited to contribute manuscripts reporting findings related to workshop topics to the open access journal Neurobiology of Stress. The broader impacts of this workshop include broadening participation, extensive opportunity for exchange across professional levels, and public outreach to the local schools. These aspects, combined with the workshop's central goal of exchanging and advancing promising new ideas in stress research, constitute long-term benefits for the larger stress neurobiology community.

这次为期四天的应激神经生物学研讨会的目标是将来自不同学科和所有专业水平(从本科生到全职教授)的研究人员聚集在一起，分享和讨论应激研究神经生物学的最新进展，促进跨学科的密集思想交流，促进应激研究人员之间的社区，并为受训人员和初级教员参与者培养专业发展。这次研讨会在加利福尼亚州纽波特海滩举行，是一年两次的研讨会系列中的第四个，该系列研讨会提供了唯一一个专注于应激神经生物学的小型论坛。该奖项为初级教师、实习生和高中理科教师提供参加这次研讨会的支持。研讨会的学术价值来自其相对较小的规模，这促进了参与者之间的互动和广泛的思想交流，聚集了应激领域的顶尖神经科学家，以及全体会议议题的多学科性质。由于很大一部分发言者是妇女，大约一半的参与者是受训人员，包括通过国家少数群体科学家网络招募的受训人员，这次讲习班接触了在科学界代表性不足的群体，并为他们提供了机会。让当地理科高中教师参加这次研讨会，有助于在课堂上传播见解。这次关于应激的神经生物学研讨会的主题从表观遗传学和应激到关于应激的进化观点，并结合了分子生物学、遗传学、微生物学、成像和系统生物学的最新进展。这种形式包括5次全体会议，每次4名发言者；2次圆桌会议，其中一次专门以小组非正式小组形式指导受训人员；招贴会议(仅限受训人员发言)；以及1次主旨讲座。研讨会参与者将被邀请向开放获取期刊《应激神经生物学》提交报告与研讨会主题相关的研究结果的手稿。这一研讨会的更广泛影响包括扩大参与范围，提供广泛的专业层面交流机会，以及向当地学校进行公众宣传。这些方面，与研讨会的中心目标--交流和推进应激研究中有希望的新想法--结合在一起，构成了更大的应激神经生物学社区的长期利益。
