This proposal seeks funding for a two-day, multi-disciplinary conference in Philadelphia on May 6-7, 1999. Clinical neurologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, geneticists, and caregivers will meet to discuss recent developments and plan future research for the diagnosis and care of patients with Pick's disease and related forms of frontotemporal degeneration. A multi-disciplinary Planning Committee has met on several occasions to develop a four-part program to address: 1) Clinical diagnosis; 2) Histopathologic findings; 3) Molecular biology; and 4) Therapy and management. An internationally-recognized Plenary Speaker will introduce the meeting, and a second Plenary Speaker will summarize the results of the meeting at its conclusion. Announcements for the meeting will solicit abstracts concerned with these 4 topics, and the Planning Committee will also serve as the Program Committee to select abstracts appropriate for presentation. A half day will be devoted to each topic. An internationally-recognized Keynote Speaker will introduce each topic, and 2 papers will be selected for platform presentation. The remaining meritorious abstracts will be presented as posters. Discussion focus groups will consider each topic, and the attendees will re-convene to discuss a consensus statement. The proceedings of the conference will be widely disseminated in the form of a supplement to Neurology, the official journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Additional funding will be sought from interested corporate sponsors such as pharmaceutical houses and scientific publishers. Travel scholarships will be available for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students who are committed to advancing our knowledge of Pick's disease and related disorders.

这项提案寻求1999年5月6日至7日在费城举行的为期两天的多学科会议的资金。 临床神经学家，精神病学家，神经科学家，遗传学家和护理人员将会面，讨论最近的发展，并计划未来的研究，用于诊断和护理皮克病和相关形式的额颞叶变性患者。一个多学科规划委员会多次开会，制定了一个由四部分组成的计划，以解决：1）临床诊断; 2）组织学发现; 3）分子生物学; 4）治疗和管理。 一位国际公认的全体发言人将介绍会议，第二位全体发言人将在会议结束时总结会议结果。会议公告将征求与这4个主题有关的摘要，计划委员会也将作为程序委员会，以选择适合于演示的摘要。 每个专题将用半天时间讨论。 由国际知名的主讲人介绍每个主题，并选出2篇论文作为平台演讲。其余有价值的摘要将以海报形式展示。讨论焦点小组将审议每个主题，与会者将再次开会讨论共识声明。 会议记录将以美国神经病学学会官方杂志《神经病学》增刊的形式广泛传播。 将从制药公司和科学出版商等感兴趣的企业赞助商那里寻求额外的资金。 旅行奖学金将提供给博士前和博士后学生谁是致力于推进我们的皮克病和相关疾病的知识。
