The Rodin Remediation Academy Conference: Neural Basis of Skill Acquisition, Rea

描述（由申请人提供）：罗丹补救学院会议的目的是创建一个多学科论坛，传播有关阅读障碍的病因和治疗的最新科学发现。罗丹补救学院成立于1984年，已经举办了24次会议和专题讨论会，致力于鼓励对阅读障碍的研究。本申请为将在乔治敦大学医学中心举行的第25届会议寻求支持。与以往的罗丹会议一致，本次会议将汇集来自相关学科的全球阅读障碍专家、科学家，以及对阅读障碍治疗感兴趣的学生、教师、家长和医生。这次会议将在培养新一代科学家方面发挥至关重要的作用，这些科学家将继续从事阅读障碍的研究。它将为刚开始职业生涯的新研究人员提供交流机会，并为可能被吸引到阅读障碍研究的多方面之一的高级研究人员提供动力。会议题为“技能习得、阅读和阅读障碍的神经基础”，将强调技能习得和学习的作用，这是神经科学研究的一个快速发展的领域，它为阅读研究提供了一个有用的视角。为期2.5天的会议将在华盛顿特区的乔治敦大学医学中心举行。美国首都可以通过多种交通方式轻松到达。会议安排在神经科学学会会议之前的几天举行，以鼓励国际参与。该计划的大部分内容将由主要神经科学家和研究发展性阅读障碍的专家进行讲座。海报展示将为初级和高级研究人员的非正式互动和参与提供一个场所。诺曼·格施温德-罗丹奖将在颁奖典礼上颁发给一位有前途的年轻阅读障碍研究者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the Rodin Remediation Academy Conference is to create a multidisciplinary forum for the dissemination of recent scientific discoveries regarding the etiology and treatment of dyslexia. The Rodin Remediation Academy, founded in 1984, has held 24 conferences and symposia dedicated to the encouragement of research on dyslexia. This application seeks support for the 25th conference to be held at Georgetown University Medical Center. Consistent with previous Rodin Conferences this meeting will bring together the world's experts on dyslexia as scientists from related disciplines, as well as students, teachers, parents, and physicians interested in the remediation of dyslexia. The conference will play a crucial role in the development of a new generation of scientists who will go on to pursue research in dyslexia. It will provide networking opportunities for new researchers who are beginning their careers and impetus for senior investigators who could be drawn into one of the multifaceted aspects of dyslexia research. The conference, entitled "Neural Basis of Skill Acquisition, Reading, and Dyslexia," will emphasize the role of skill acquisition and learning, a rapidly developing field of neuroscience research, which provides a useful perspective for the study of reading. The 2.5 day conference will be held at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The US Capital is easily accessible by multiple modes of transportation. The meeting is scheduled to take place during the days leading up to the Society for Neuroscience Conference to encourage international participation. The bulk of the program will consist of lectures given by leading neuroscientists and experts in research on developmental dyslexia. Posters presentations will provide a venue for less formal interactions and the participation of both junior and senior researchers. The Norman Geschwind-Rodin Prize will be presented to a promising young dyslexia researcher at an awards ceremony.
