Exposure to stress is ubiquitous in nature and is one of the many factors that shape the development and wellbeing of an organism. The Stress Neurobiology Workshop, a 3-day event in Boston, MA, convenes researchers from diverse disciplines to discuss recent advances in our understanding of the interactions between stress, brain, and behavior. The goals of the workshop are to refine and broaden our systems level understanding of stress neurobiology, foster broader perspectives and use of a wider range of technologies to study stress-brain interactions, facilitate the development of new collaborative efforts among participants, and promote greater diversity among the people who design, execute, interpret, and lead stress neuroscience research. A substantial fraction of the workshop speakers and session chairs are women and members of groups underrepresented in STEM fields. An important aspect of the workshop is the participation of trainees. This funding from the National Science Foundation will enable graduate and postdoctoral students in the field of stress neurobiology to attend the meeting, present their work and participate in discussions, and receive direct mentoring from more senior members of the community. The scientific content of the 2024 Stress Neurobiology Workshop includes five thematic sessions focused on the impact of stress on brain development, psychosocial behavior and cognition, neuroendocrine responses, and neural circuit functions. Keynote and symposia speakers will present work at several levels of investigation, from genetic and molecular, to neural circuits and systems, to behavior and community impacts. Importantly, research elucidating the neurobiology of stress in different organisms will be discussed. The meeting includes ample time for discussion among participants, which is necessary for synthesizing new ideas with existing models and scientific progress. Trainees supported by travel awards will deliver data blitz presentations, participate in poster sessions, and be matched with senior mentors. Funds received through this grant are dedicated exclusively to the support of trainee participation and professional development.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

压力暴露在自然界中无处不在，是影响生物体发育和健康的众多因素之一。压力神经生物学研讨会是在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的为期3天的活动，它召集了来自不同学科的研究人员来讨论我们对压力、大脑和行为之间相互作用的理解的最新进展。研讨会的目标是完善和扩大我们对压力神经生物学的系统级理解，培养更广泛的视角和使用更广泛的技术来研究压力-大脑相互作用，促进参与者之间新的合作努力的发展，并促进设计，执行，解释和领导压力神经科学研究的人员之间的更大多样性。研讨会的演讲者和会议主席中有很大一部分是女性和在STEM领域代表性不足的群体的成员。讲习班的一个重要方面是学员的参与。来自美国国家科学基金会的这笔资金将使压力神经生物学领域的研究生和博士后学生能够参加会议，展示他们的工作并参与讨论，并接受来自社区更资深成员的直接指导。2024压力神经生物学研讨会的科学内容包括五个主题会议，重点关注压力对大脑发育、社会心理行为和认知、神经内分泌反应和神经回路功能的影响。主题演讲和专题讨论会的演讲者将介绍从遗传和分子到神经回路和系统，再到行为和社区影响等几个层面的研究工作。重要的是，研究阐明神经生物学的压力在不同的生物体将被讨论。会议有充足的时间供与会者讨论，这对于将新思想与现有模式和科学进步相结合是必要的。获得旅行奖励的学员将发表数据闪电战演讲，参加海报会议，并与资深导师配对。通过这笔赠款获得的资金专门用于支持学员的参与和专业发展。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
