US Association for the Study of Pain Annual Scientific Meeting

疼痛仍然是一个重大的卫生保健问题，因为它的流行，它对 谁遭受痛苦，以及缺乏一贯有效的治疗选择，而不是有害的 后果。这些问题只会随着美国人口老龄化和 在60岁以上的人中疼痛的发生率增加。在解决这一日益严重的问题方面有任何进展 将采取一致的努力，从努力了解疼痛机制的基础科学家到 临床医生在有限的工具和资源下努力控制患者的疼痛。它还将需要一个 持续的努力，包括那些已经致力于解决这一问题的人，以及随后 一代又一代的疼痛科学家。美国疼痛研究协会(USASP)的成立是为了解决 这些问题，并在继续开发这样做的方法。他们的解决方案之一是每年一次的科学 为促进疼痛科学家和医疗保健人员的职业发展和指导而组织的会议 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之间，并传播重要的研究成果。至 最大限度地发挥实现这些目标的努力的影响，美国农业部和科学会议是 围绕多样性、公平和包容的原则组织起来，所有人都有兴趣解决 复杂的疼痛问题欢迎参加。本申请是为了确保对 参加2022年至2026年USASP年度科学会议的学员，从2022年5月开始 会议在俄亥俄州辛辛那提举行。与美国农业部科学会议的更广泛目标一致， 这项提案的具体目的是：1)为与会者提供一个讨论疼痛的全国性论坛 形成该领域方向的研究成果，2)促进跨学科对话和 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中的挑战，以及3)增强 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都提供指导，在不同的痛苦之间架起桥梁 科学界。因为在职业生涯早期建立的关系从长远来看是有好处的，每年 支持31名学员参加这些会议，将为外管局和 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.
