DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested to partially underwrite the costs of a conference entitled "Overcoming Colorectal Cancer Disparities" to be held November 2nd to 4th 2005 at the conference center on Peabody campus of Vanderbilt University. The general purpose of this conference is to assemble the top researchers in this field along with promising young investigators, trainees and more senior faculty, in order to exchange and disseminate information on current research aimed at addressing colorectal cancer disparities in the United States. Attention will be focused on senior faculty members who may be willing to adapt their current research to include questions which may help address and overcome cancer disparities in their areas of research expertise. One workshop entitled "Career Development" will provide practical advice for career development, specifically on the topic of creating and sustaining a research program. This workshop will be designed to cover the needs of researchers involved in basic, clinical and/or control research and include information pertinent for trainees and Jr. faculty from underserved populations. The conference will be publicized in scientific journals, on the Internet, and announcements will be mailed to members of neuroscience societies, as well as to individuals known to be active in the field. Electronic publicity will be accomplished by Meharry and Vanderbilt-linked conference web site with details of the program and on-line registration, and by listing it on established web sites providing meeting announcements. A concerted effort will be made to attract junior investigators and those considered underrepresented in science fields, such as women and ethnic minorities. A specific number of travel awards will be provided to aid in this effort.

说明（由申请人提供）： 请求支持部分承担将于 2005 年 11 月 2 日至 4 日在范德比尔特大学皮博迪校区会议中心举行的题为“克服结直肠癌差异”的会议的费用。 本次会议的总体目的是聚集该领域的顶尖研究人员以及有前途的年轻研究人员、实习生和更资深的教师，以交流和传播旨在解决美国结直肠癌差异的当前研究的信息。 注意力将集中在高级教员身上，他们可能愿意调整他们当前的研究，以纳入可能有助于解决和克服其研究专业领域的癌症差异的问题。 一个题为“职业发展”的研讨会将为职业发展提供实用建议，特别是关于创建和维持研究计划的主题。 该研讨会旨在满足参与基础、临床和/或对照研究的研究人员的需求，并包括与来自服务不足人群的学员和初级教师相关的信息。 会议将在科学期刊和互联网上进行宣传，公告将邮寄给神经科学学会的成员以及已知活跃于该领域的个人。电子宣传将通过梅哈里和范德比尔特相关的会议网站完成，其中包含会议详细信息和在线注册，并在提供会议公告的既定网站上列出。 将共同努力吸引初级研究人员和那些被认为在科学领域代表性不足的人，例如妇女和少数民族。 我们将提供一定数量的旅行奖励来帮助实现这一目标。
