US Association for the Study of Pain Annual Scientific Meeting

疼痛仍然是一个重要的卫生保健问题，因为它的患病率，它对那些 谁遭受，和缺乏一贯有效的治疗选择，没有有害的 后果这些问题只会随着美国人口老龄化和 60岁以上的人疼痛的发生率增加。在解决这一日益严重的问题方面有何进展 将需要从努力理解疼痛机制的基础科学家到 临床医生努力用有限的工具和资源管理患者的疼痛。这也将需要一个 持续的努力，包括那些已经在努力解决这一问题的人，以及随后的 一代又一代的疼痛科学家美国疼痛研究协会（USASP）成立的目的是解决 这些问题，并继续发展这样做的方式。他们的解决方案之一是每年的科学 为促进疼痛科学家和保健人员的职业发展和指导而举行的会议 专注于早期职业学者的提供者，促进疼痛科学家和临床医生之间的对话 在学科或研究领域内和学科或研究领域之间，传播重要的研究成果。到 为了最大限度地发挥实现这些目标的努力的影响，USASP和科学会议是 围绕着多样性、公平和包容的原则组织起来， 复杂的疼痛问题，欢迎参加。本申请旨在确保对以下内容的支持： 从2022年5月开始，学员将参加2022年至2026年的USASP年度科学会议 在俄亥俄州的辛辛那提开会。与USASP为科学会议制定的更广泛的目标相一致， 该提案的具体目标是：1）为与会者提供一个讨论疼痛的国家论坛 研究结果，塑造该领域的方向，2）促进跨学科对话， 代表多个疼痛科学学科的研究人员之间的合作， 创新的翻译策略，以应对当前疼痛研究的挑战，以及3）加强 疼痛科学利益相关者（研究人员，政策制定者，临床医生和患者）之间的沟通 初级和高级研究人员提供指导，并在不同的疼痛之间建立桥梁 科学界。由于在职业生涯早期建立的联系在长期内会带来回报， 支助31名受训人员参加这些会议将为安全和 在未来有效的疼痛管理。

Pain continues to be a significant health care problem because of its prevalence, its impact on those who suffer, and the absence of consistently effective therapeutic options devoid of deleterious consequences. These issues will only be compounded with the aging of the US population and the increased incidence of pain in those over 60 years old. Any progress in addressing this growing problem will take a concerted effort from the basic scientists struggling to understand pain mechanisms to the clinicians struggling to manage pain in their patients with limited tools and resources. It will also take a sustained effort that includes those already working to address this problem, as well as subsequent generations of pain scientists. The US Association for the Study of Pain (USASP) was formed to address these issues and continues to develop ways of doing so. One of their solutions is an annual scientific meeting organized to facilitate career development and mentoring of pain scientists and health care providers with a focus on early career scholars, facilitate dialog among pain scientists and clinicians within and between disciplines or areas of study, and disseminate important research findings. To maximize the impact of efforts to achieve these goals, the USASP and the scientific meeting are organized around principles of diversity, equity and inclusion, where all interested in addressing the complex problem of pain are welcomed to participate. The present application is to secure support for trainees to attend the USASP annual scientific meetings from 2022 to 2026, starting with the May, 2022 meeting in Cincinnati, OH. Consistent with the broader goals of the USASP for the scientific meeting, the Specific Aims of this proposal are to 1) Provide a national forum for conference attendees to discuss pain research findings that shape the direction of the field, 2) Foster interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration between researchers representing multiple pain science disciplines in to develop innovative translational strategies to address current challenges in pain research, and 3) Enhance communication between pain science stakeholders (researchers, policy makers, clinicians, and patients) and both junior and senior researchers to provide mentoring and build bridges between different pain science communities. As the connections made early in a career pay dividends over the long term, yearly support for 31 trainees to participate in these conferences will provide a foundation for safe and effective pain management in the future.
