Gordon Research Conference on In Vivo Magnetic Resonance

描述(由申请人提供)： 外行语言描述：这是一个请求支持第四个Gordon Research的应用程序 会议(GRC)的主题是“体内磁共振”。本次会议将涵盖一系列主题，涉及在细胞、动物和人类中使用磁共振(MR)成像和光谱学；解决基础研究和临床问题。重点将放在新出现的与技术、生物和健康相关的问题上，这些问题将对这一非凡领域的增长产生重大影响。 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，马萨诸塞州南哈德利第四次会议的主席是加州大学圣地亚哥分校放射学教授兼功能磁共振中心主任理查德·B·巴克斯顿博士；副主席是圣路易斯华盛顿大学威廉·格林利夫·艾略特教授兼化学教授兼生物医学MR实验室主任约瑟夫·J·H·阿克曼博士。第三届活体先生GRC会议于2004年举行。正如这项提议所详细说明的那样，这次会议非常成功。在磁场强度、仪器、成像速度和一系列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。定期将领军人物和未来的研究人员聚集在一起，就像在任何其他科学场所所做的那样，深入探讨这一重要领域的下一步冒险，这既是及时的，也是必要的。会议将包括科学会议，每个会议有两至四名发言者和一名讨论负责人。还将举行招贴会(预计大多数与会者将提交一张海报)和圆桌讨论会，旨在促进与会者之间的密切互动。按照传统标准，GRC会议的规模很小(约135人)，但参与者将是 以鼓励/确保不同的初级和高级群体出席的方式邀请/招聘 代表学术和政府机构以及来自企业研究项目的个人的调查人员。学生和博士后研究员将被鼓励参加。初级调查人员将包括在口头陈述中。这里要求的支助将用于便利初级调查员的出席(会议费和/或旅费)(重点是妇女、少数群体和残疾人)。

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).
