International Conference on Eating Disorders

要求提供支助，以加强饮食失调学会饮食失调问题国际会议的培训职能。 该计划建议包括两个部分：1）设立一个初级研究员旅行奖学金计划，为优秀的美国研究生、精神科住院医生或博士后研究员提供财政支持，以参加2002年国际会议并介绍他们的研究成果; 2）建立一个NIH赞助的研讨会，向会员和旅行研究员通报重要的概念，方法，以及该领域的经验性进展。 本次研讨会将旨在解决已被NIH和AED确定为高优先级研究领域的主题。 拟议的计划将1）促进年轻研究人员在饮食失调领域的发展; 2）刺激不同研究领域的“交叉施肥”; 3）促进新的基础知识转化为改善饮食失调的临床实践。

Support is requested to enhance the training function of the International Conference on Eating Disorders of the Academy for Eating Disorders (AED). Two program components are proposed: 1) establishment of a Junior Investigator Travel Fellowship Program to provide financial support for outstanding United States graduate students, psychiatric residents, or post-doctoral fellows to attend the 2002 International Conference and present their research findings; 2) establishment of an NIH sponsored symposium to inform the membership and the Travel Fellows of important conceptual, methodological, and empirical advances in the field. This symposium will be designed to address topics that have been identified by the NIH and the AED as high priority research areas. The proposed programs will 1) foster the development of young investigators in the field of eating disorders; 2) stimulate "cross-fertilization" of diverse research areas; and 3) foster translation of new basic knowledge into improved clinical practice in eating disorders.
