Annual Meeting of the American Pain Society

美国疼痛学会董事会和科学计划委员会在其2002年会议上要求为旅行津贴提供支持，以鼓励初级学者参与疼痛的研究和管理。美国疼痛协会是一个跨学科的组织，致力于了解疼痛的机制，并通过研究、教育、治疗和专业实践改善对疼痛患者的护理。一年一度的会议提供了一个独特的论坛，在一个优化科学家和卫生保健提供者之间互动的环境中传播研究和治疗方面的尖端进展。处理临床疼痛问题的临床医生和正在大踏步解决许多这些相同问题的机制的临床前科学家之间的这种多学科交流是改进疼痛治疗的基石。我们寻求的资金仅用于为学生、研究员和任何处于职业生涯培训阶段的人提供旅行奖励，使他们能够参加年度科学会议并为其做出贡献。这将包括临床前实验室和临床科学的实习生；心理学家、护士、药剂师和医学实习生。除了实习生身份，申请者还必须有一份被接受的摘要。摘要将根据科学价值进行评判，并发表在《疼痛杂志》上。我们相信，这些奖项将鼓励学员参加会议。

The Board of Directors of the American Pain Society and the Scientific Program Committee for its 2002 meeting are requesting support for travel stipends to encourage participation of junior scholars beginning careers in the study and management of pain. The American Pain Society is an interdisciplinary organization devoted to understanding the mechanisms of pain and improving the care of patients with pain through research, education, treatment and professional practice. The annual meeting provides a unique forum for disseminating cutting edge advances in research and treatment in a setting that optimizes interactions between scientists and health care providers. This multi- disciplinary interchange between clinicians who deal with clinical pain problems and pre-clinical scientists who are making great strides addressing the mechanism of many of these same problems is the cornerstone of improved pain therapy. We seek funds solely for the purpose of travel awards for students, fellows and anyone in the training phase of their career to enable them to attend and contribute to the Annual Scientific Meeting. This will include trainees in pre-clinical labs as well as in clinical science; psychologists, nurse, pharmacists and medical trainees. In addition to trainee status, applicants must have an accepted abstract. Abstracts will be judged on scientific merit and published in The Journal of Pain. We believe that these awards will encourage meeting attendance by trainees.
