US/LATIN AMERICAN WORKSHOP IN SALIVARY RESEARCH

请拨的资金是一次性的，用于支持一个国际组织， 美国和拉丁美洲科学家研讨会， 唾液研究 本次研讨会的产生是因为人们对 一般来说，NIH的一部分，特别是NIDR，在扩大科学研究方面， 与拉丁美洲的交流与合作，旨在：1）带来 美国和拉丁美洲的科学家一起加强交流， 唾液研究的科学信息; 2）将拉丁美洲 科学家最新的最新的科学和技术 美国唾液研究的进展; 3）提高美国科学家的知识 拉丁美洲现有的研究资源，特别是关于 可以进一步唾液研究的特殊人群; 4）识别 美国和拉丁美洲科学家之间的潜在研究合作 并提出寻求和确保对活动的支持的战略 以及加强这种合作的计划。 讲习班拟于1992年5月26日至29日在泛美卫生组织举行。 位于哥伦比亚特区华盛顿的会议设施，包括 五个主要的科学会议，涵盖以下主题：1）监管 唾液分泌物; 2）生长和基因表达; 3）唾液腺 唾液代谢; 4）唾液产物和唾液功能; 5）流行病学 研究战略。 最后一次会议的一部分将专门讨论 讨论可能的合作和机制， 支持他们。 一小群（3-4名）美国科学家没有参加， 发言者将被邀请参加所有会议，以获得广泛的 研讨会的观点，并在最后一次会议上主持圆桌讨论会。 关于研究合作中的真实的和可实现的目标的会议。的 上面概述的程序已经开发，以提供一个广阔的视野 在美国和拉丁美洲的唾液研究， 丰富关于潜在合作努力的想法。邀请 还将发送给IADR唾液研究组的成员， 在其项目中有国际成分的NIDR受助者。 该研讨会是由一个由活跃于 唾液研究和口腔健康流行病学。 一组 将在讲习班结束时为NIDR准备建议， 确定可扩大交流与合作的活动 在美国和拉丁美洲之间。 会议记录将 作为《牙科研究杂志》的特别增刊发表。

Funds are requested on a one-time basis for support of an international workshop of US and Latin American scientists working in the field of salivary research. This workshop arises from the growing interest on the part of NIH in general, and of NIDR in particular, in expanding scientific exchange and collaboration with Latin America and is designed to: 1) bring together US and Latin American scientists to enhance the exchange of scientific information in salivary research; 2) bring the Latin American scientists up to date on the most recent scientific and technological advances in US salivary research; 3) improve the US scientists' knowledge of research resources available in Latin America, particularly with regards to special populations that could further salivary research; 4) identify potential research collaborations between US and Latin American scientists and propose strategies for seeking and securing support for the activities and programs that enhance such collaboration. The workshop is proposed for May 26-29, 1992 at the Pan American Health Organization Conference facilities in Washington, DC and will consist of five major scientific sessions covering the following topics: 1) Regulation of salivary secretions; 2) Growth and gene expression; 3) Salivary gland metabolism; 4) Salivary products and functions of saliva; 5) Epidemiology and research strategies. Part of the last session will be devoted to discussion of potential collaborations and of the mechanisms that can support them. A small group (3-4) of US scientists not participating as speakers will be invited to attend all sessions in order to get a broad view of the workshop and to lead a round table discussion at the last session about real and achievable objectives in research cooperation. The program outlined above has been developed in order to provide a broad view of salivary research in the US and Latin America and to stimulate the cross fertilization of ideas about potential cooperative efforts. Invitations will also be sent to members of the Salivary Research Group of the IADR and to NIDR grantees who have an international component in their programs. The workshop has been planned by a committee composed of scientists active in salivary research and in oral health epidemiology. A set of recommendations will be prepared for NIDR at the end of the workshop, delineating activities that may expand communication and cooperation between the US and Latin America. Proceedings of the Conference will be published as a special supplement of the Journal of Dental Research.
