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

描述(由申请人提供)：罗丹矫正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。罗丹矫正学院成立于1984年，已经举办了24次会议和研讨会，致力于鼓励对阅读障碍的研究。本申请寻求对将在乔治敦大学医学中心举行的第25届会议的支持。与之前的罗丹会议一致，本次会议将汇聚世界上有关阅读障碍的专家和相关学科的科学家，以及对阅读障碍补救感兴趣的学生、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关键作用，这些科学家将继续从事阅读障碍的研究。它将为开始他们职业生涯的新研究人员提供网络机会，并为可能被吸引到阅读障碍研究的多方面之一的资深研究人员提供动力。这场名为《技能习得、阅读和阅读障碍的神经基础》的会议将强调技能习得和学习的作用，这是神经科学研究中一个迅速发展的领域，它为阅读研究提供了一个有用的视角。为期两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工具轻松到达。这次会议计划在神经科学学会会议之前的几天举行，以鼓励国际参与。该项目的大部分内容将包括顶尖神经学家和发育性阅读障碍研究专家的演讲。海报演示将为初级和高级研究人员提供一个不那么正式的互动和参与的场所。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人员。

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.
