DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks support for the 3-day bienniel meeting of the Barany Society, an international organization of vestibular scientists. The proposed meeting will be the Society's first in America in 16 years. This conference is meant to promote interactions between basic and clinical scientists in order to continue the fertile cross-pollination that has allowed the vestibular field to make such great interdisciplinary progress in recent years. Because the continuation of such progress depends strongly on encouraging interaction between the young clinicians and basic scientists, we are requesting support here to allow students, postdocs, and residents to attend the meeting. Those who cannot attend the meeting will benefit from the publication, in a special volume of the Journal of Vestibular Research, of those contributions that exemplify clinical and basic science collaboration especially well and the publication of the program abstracts. We plan to promote scientific interaction in 5 ways. First, there will be 3 plenary sessions in which progress in an area will be discussed from both a basic and clinical science perspective. Second, each plenary session will be concluded by an hour-long discussion period open to the audience. Third, each discussion period will then be followed by an extended (1/2 hour) refreshment break to facilitate continued conversation in informal groups. Fourth, all platform and poster sessions will be organized according to topic so both clinical and basic science perspectives will be heard. Fifth, there will be a debate about the relative promise of two future directions in the restoration of vestibular function; i.e., hair cell regeneration vs. development of a vestibular prosthesis. Younger scientists will have the opportunity to present their own work in either the platform or poster session.

描述(由申请者提供)：本申请寻求对前庭科学家国际组织Barany Society为期3天的双年会议的支持。拟议中的会议将是该协会16年来首次在美国召开会议。这次会议旨在促进基础和临床科学家之间的互动，以继续肥沃的异花授粉，这使得前庭领域在最近几年取得了如此大的跨学科进展。由于这种进展的持续很大程度上取决于鼓励年轻临床医生和基础科学家之间的互动，我们在这里请求支持，以允许学生、博士后和住院医生参加会议。那些不能参加会议的人将受益于在《前庭研究杂志》的特刊上发表那些特别好地体现了临床和基础科学合作的贡献，以及项目摘要的出版。 我们计划通过5种方式促进科学互动。首先，将有三次全体会议，从基础科学和临床科学的角度讨论某一领域的进展。第二，每一次全体会议将以长达一小时的讨论时间结束，向听众开放。第三，在每个讨论时段之后，将有一个延长的(半小时)茶点休息时间，以便于在非正式小组中继续交谈。第四，所有的平台和海报会议将按主题组织，以便听取临床和基础科学的观点。第五，关于前庭功能恢复的两个未来方向的相对前景，即毛细胞再生和前庭假体的开发，将会有一场辩论。年轻的科学家将有机会在平台或海报环节展示他们自己的工作。
