Abstract This R13 renewal application requests support to continue the highly successful Kentucky Conference on Health Communication (KCHC)—District of Columbia Health Communication (DCHC) scientific conference series. The overall goal of the annual KCHC-DCHC conferences is to promote health communication research and practice to advance our knowledge and understanding of communication and related social- behavioral sciences; such advances will, through translational research, subsequently enhance the effectiveness of interventions designed to promote health and prevent illness. The specific aims are to expand the impact and scholarly excellence of KCHC-DCHC by 1) enhancing dissemination through more formal conference proceedings and an innovative online networking initiative; 2) increasing participation by early career scientists, graduate students, and underrepresented groups through targeted recruitment and reduced registration rates for students; 3) enhancing training by building in structured mentoring sessions with senior scholars; 4) increasing innovation and opportunities for research translation by scheduling special sessions to promote academic and clinical research collaborations; 5) increasing international impact through opportunities for discussion built into conference programming and increased promotion in international arenas; and 6) continuing emphasis on scholarly excellence by inviting distinguished speakers and making scholarly awards. Across all six aims, our goal is to positively influence the field of health communication and increase its impact by promoting the career development of early career scientists, encouraging interdisciplinary research collaborations, and enhancing dissemination and implementation of leading research. Our 2.5-day international, interdisciplinary conference involves several disciplines representing communication, public health, and other social, behavioral, and health sciences. Topics addressed include interventions designed for health risk behavior reduction in areas such as cancer, substance abuse, and infectious disease; issues related to underserved populations, health disparities, and health literacy; interventions through interpersonal, community, media, and new technology channels; and international health concerns, including promoting the development of health communication programs in developing nations. Such communication- focused inquiry is now recognized as instrumental in promoting public health. Past conference attendance has averaged 250 participants. The audience primarily includes graduate, postdoctoral, and academic faculty researchers, as well as healthcare practitioners, clinical researchers, and representatives from non-profit organizations and government agencies. We emphasize participation by graduate students and early career scientists. This audience composition allows the conference series to support one of NIH's goals: “to develop, maintain, and renew scientific human…resources that will ensure the Nation's capability to prevent disease.”

摘要 此R13续订申请请求支持，以继续非常成功的肯塔基州会议 健康传播(KCHC)-哥伦比亚特区健康传播(DCHC)科学会议 系列片。KCHC-DCHC年度会议的总体目标是促进卫生交流 研究和实践，以提高我们对沟通和相关社会的认识和理解- 行为科学；这样的进步将通过翻译研究，随后加强 旨在促进健康和预防疾病的干预措施的有效性。具体目标是 通过以下方式扩大KCHC-DCHC的影响力和学术卓越1)通过更多 正式会议议事程序和创新的在线网络倡议；2)通过以下方式增加参与 早期职业科学家、研究生和代表性不足的群体，通过有针对性的招聘和 降低学生的注册率；3)通过建立结构化的指导会议来加强培训 高级学者；4)通过安排专题研讨会增加科研翻译的创新和机会 促进学术和临床研究合作的会议；5)通过以下方式提高国际影响力 将讨论机会纳入会议规划并在国际上增加推广 6)继续强调学术卓越，邀请杰出的演讲者和 学术奖项。在所有六个目标中，我们的目标是积极影响健康传播和 通过促进早期职业科学家的职业发展来增加其影响，鼓励 跨学科研究协作，加强领先研究的传播和实施。 我们为期2.5天的国际跨学科会议涉及几个代表沟通的学科， 公共卫生，以及其他社会、行为和健康科学。讨论的主题包括干预措施 旨在减少癌症、药物滥用和传染病等领域的健康风险行为； 与服务不足的人口、健康差距和卫生知识普及有关的问题；通过 人际、社区、媒体和新技术渠道；以及国际健康问题，包括 促进发展中国家健康传播项目的发展。这样的沟通- 有重点的调查现在被认为有助于促进公共卫生。过去的会议出席人数 平均有250名参与者。受众主要包括研究生、博士后和学术教师。 研究人员，以及医疗从业者、临床研究人员和非营利性组织的代表 组织和政府机构。我们强调研究生的参与和职业生涯的早期 科学家们。这一观众构成使会议系列能够支持NIH的目标之一：“发展， 维护和更新科学的人类…这些资源将确保国家预防疾病的能力。
