Gordon Research Conference on In Vivo Magnetic Resonance

描述（由申请人提供）： Lay语言描述：这是一个请求支持第四戈登研究的应用程序 会议（GRC）在“体内磁共振。“这次会议将涵盖一系列主题，涵盖磁共振（MR）成像和光谱在细胞，动物和人类中的应用;解决基础研究和临床问题。特别强调将放在刚刚出现的技术，生物和健康相关的问题，将显着影响这一显着领域的增长。 详细说明：第四次会议将于2006年7月23日至7月28日在Mt.霍利奥克学院，南哈德利，MA。第四届会议主席是Richard B。Buxton博士，放射学教授，圣地亚哥加州大学功能性磁共振成像中心主任;副主席是Joseph J. H。阿克曼，博士，威廉格林利夫艾略特教授和化学主席和生物医学磁共振实验室主任，华盛顿大学，圣路易斯。第三次体内MR GRC于2004年举行。正如该提案所详述的那样，这次会议极为成功。在磁场强度、仪器、成像速度和各种新技术方面的显著进步继续为快速增长创造了丰富的环境。定期将领先的个人和未来的研究人员聚集在一起，深入探讨这一重要领域的下一次冒险，这是及时和必要的，因为没有其他科学场所这样做。会议将包括科学会议，每次会议有两至四名发言者和一名讨论负责人。还将举办海报会议（大多数与会者将展示海报）和圆桌讨论会，以促进与会者之间的密切互动。根据设计，GRC会议按传统标准是小型的（约135名与会者），但与会者将 邀请/招聘的方式，以鼓励/确保不同群体的初级和高级 代表学术和政府机构的调查人员以及来自公司研究项目的个人。学生和博士后研究员将被鼓励参加。初级研究人员将参加口头报告。此处请求的支助将用于便利初级调查员（重点是妇女、少数民族和残疾人）出席会议（会议费和/或差旅费）。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Lay Language Description: This is an application requesting support for the fourth Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on "In Vivo Magnetic Resonance." This meeting will cover an array of topics spanning the use of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and spectroscopy in cells, animals, and humans; addressing both basic research and clinical concerns. Particular emphases will be placed on just emerging technological, biological, and health related issues that will significantly impact the growth of this remarkable field. Detailed Description: The fourth Conference will be held 23 July - 28 July, 2006, at Mt. Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA. The Chair of the fourth Conference is Richard B. Buxton, PhD, Professor of Radiology and Director, Center for Functional MRI, University of California, San Diego; the vice-Chair is Joseph J. H. Ackerman, PhD, William Greenleaf Eliot Professor and Chair of Chemistry and Director of the Biomedical MR Laboratory, Washington University, St. Louis. The third In Vivo MR GRC was held in 2004. As detailed in this proposal, this Conference was extremely successful. Notable advances in magnet field strength, instrumentation, imaging speed, and in a wide array of new techniques continue to create a rich environment for rapid growth. It is both timely and necessary to regularly gather the leading individuals and future investigators together to address in depth, as is done at no other scientific venue, the next ventures of this important field. The Conference will include scientific sessions, each with two to four speakers and a discussion leader. There will also be poster sessions (most participants will be expected to present a poster) and roundtable discussions designed to facilitate close interaction between the participants. By design, GRC meetings are small by conventional standards (approximately 135 participants) but participants will be invited/recruited in a manner to encourage/ensure attendance by a diverse group of junior and senior investigators representing academic and government institutions and individuals from corporate research programs. Students and postdoctoral fellows will be encouraged to attend. Junior investigators will be included in the oral presentations. The support requested herein will be used to facilitate the attendance (conference fees and/or travel costs) of junior investigators (emphasis on women, minorities, & the disabled).
