A Request for support of 25th SPRSM Meeting

描述（由申请人提供）： SPRBM的悠久传统将在第25届年会上得到保留和加强。这个R13会议补助金申请的具体目标是双重的。第一个是为初级研究人员提供资金支持，包括初级教师，博士后研究员和研究生，他们提交的论文根据科学价值被选中发表。每个口头会议的两名发言者将是一名初级教师和一名研究生/博士后研究员，他们的摘要已被选为高科学价值和广泛的影响。 会议将为长期跨学科互动的发展提供一个平台，并使肌肉骨骼组织工程的研究人员了解功能性组织工程和再生医学融合的最新想法和机会。R13申请的第二个目标是支持招募妇女、代表性不足的少数民族和残疾人参加会议并介绍他们的科学研究。 这次会议的具体目标是： 目的#1：描述功能组织工程的现状。 功能性组织工程领域的领导者将概述功能性组织工程的概念，并回顾肌肉骨骼组织中功能性组织工程的现状，包括软骨，骨，肌腱和韧带。 目标#2：头脑风暴生物材料在支持功能性组织工程中的应用。 生物材料领域的领导者将回顾目前最先进的新型智能生物材料的制造和修饰，促进干细胞的增殖和分化，以增强肌肉骨骼组织的伤口愈合。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-standing traditions of SPRBM will be preserved and enhanced in the 25th annual meeting. The specific objectives of this R13 conference grant application are two-fold. The first is to provide funding support to junior researchers, including junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students whose submitted papers have been selected for presentation on the basis of scientific merits. Two speakers in each oral session will be a junior faculty, and a graduate student/postdoctoral fellow whose abstracts have been chosen for high scientific merit and broad implications. The meeting will provide a platform for the development of long-term interdisciplinary interactions, and expose researchers in the musculoskeletal tissue engineering to the latest ideas and opportunities at the confluence of functional tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The second objective of this R13 application is to support the recruitment of women, underrepresented minorities, and disabled persons to attend the meeting and present their scientific research. The specific aims of this meeting are: Aim #1: Delineate the current status of function tissue engineering. Leaders in the functional tissue engineering field will give an overview of functional tissue engineering concepts and review the current state of functional tissue engineering in musculoskeletal tissues, including cartilages, bone, tendons, and ligaments. Aim #2: Brainstorm the applications of biomaterials in supporting functional tissue engineering. Leaders in the field of biomaterials will review the current state-of-art in the fabrication and modification of novel and smart biomaterials that promote the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells to enhance the wound healing of musculoskeletal tissues.
