This grant application requests funds to support the ninth meeting of the International Study Group on the Pharmacology of Memory Disorders Associated with Aging (ISG). The ISG was founded in the belief that the development of effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias would be accelerated by periodic meetings of scientists and physicians from around the world who are actively working on topics related to dementia. There have been eight ISG meetings: the first was held in Tucson, Az in 1979, and the rest (1981, 1984, 1987, 1989, 1991, 1993, and 1995) have been held in Zurich, Switzerland. The overall goals of the ISG remain the same as in 1979: to highlight discoveries that shed light on the potential causes and pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative dementias, and to identify the disturbed biological processes which, if corrected, might underlie their cures. Since its inception, the ISG has been a forum for interaction among academic scientists, scientists in industry, clinical investigators, and administrators in public and private agencies concerned with aging and dementia research. The sources of funds to support the Zurich meetings reflect this diverse constituency, and include donations from governmental agencies, private foundations, and industry. This broad base of support is crucial to the ISG's mission of stimulating research interest in dementia and speeding transfer of information from the basic sciences to clinical investigators and physicians caring for persons with dementia. Funds requested in this grant application will provide round trip economy airfare and three nights hotel accommodation in Zurich for invited academic scientists from the United States. The funds will also cover the cost of renting the hotel convention center, and help defray the cost of publishing manuscripts submitted by the participants.

该赠款申请要求资金支持与衰老相关的记忆障碍药理学小组（ISG）的第九次会议。 ISG建立在这样一种信念的基础上，即对阿尔茨海默氏病（AD）和其他痴呆症的有效治疗的发展将被来自世界各地的科学家和医生的定期会议加速，这些科学家和医生正在积极从事与痴呆症有关的主题。 八次ISG会议：第一次是在1979年在亚利桑那州图森举行的，其余的（1981，1984，1987，1989，1989，1991，1993和1995）在瑞士苏黎世举行。 ISG的总体目标与1979年相同：突出发现的发现，阐明了阿尔茨海默氏病和其他神经退行性痴呆的潜在原因和发病机理，并确定了受干扰的生物学过程，如果纠正，则可能是固化疗法的基础。 自成立以来，ISG一直是与衰老和痴呆症研究有关的公共和私人机构的学术科学家，工业研究人员以及管理人员之间互动的论坛。 支持苏黎世会议的资金来源反映了这一不同的选区，包括政府机构，私人基金会和行业的捐款。 这一广泛的支持基础对于ISG刺激研究兴趣的使命至关重要，并加快信息从基础科学转移到临床研究人员和关心痴呆症患者的医生。 该赠款申请中要求的资金将为苏黎世提供往返经济化机票和三晚酒店住宿，以提供来自美国的受邀学术科学家。 这些资金还将支付租用酒店会议中心的费用，并帮助支付参与者提交的出版手稿的费用。
