25th National Neurotrauma Symposium, 2007

简介(申请人提供)：我们正在为参加第25届全国神经创伤年会的基础科学研究生、医学生、住院医生和博士后研究员提供支持。国家神经创伤研讨会是介绍最新的中枢神经系统损伤的病理生理学和治疗研究的主要论坛。第25届全国神经创伤研讨会(2007年)的具体目标是：1.为介绍、讨论和反馈神经创伤研究的最新发现提供一个论坛，并鼓励该领域的新手和有丰富经验的人之间的互动。2.没有直接参与神经创伤研究的研究人员的相关和发人深省的陈述。其目标是培养主流神经创伤的新想法和思维方式，并鼓励其他学科的科学家从事神经创伤研究。3.鼓励神经创伤领域的学生参与和教育。研讨会通过大型海报会议、学生口头交流会议、学生海报比赛、社交聚会、学生旅行奖励和补贴学生注册费来促进学生的参与。4.继续鼓励妇女和少数群体的研究人员参与神经创伤研究。研讨会是由神经创伤研究中的女性主办的科学和社会活动的论坛，女性在临床和实验室神经创伤研究中的专业协会。2007年研讨会的计划将包括21场特邀讲座，12次选定的学生/博士后摘要的口头陈述，4次海报会议，总计约300张海报，以及一次学生海报比赛。这些令人兴奋的新领域的提出将促进神经创伤研究，这将导致治疗和康复患有头部和脊髓损伤的患者的新技术。该项目与公共卫生的直接相关性在于交流新的想法，并就将实验室发现转化为临床实践而产生的辩论。学生、基础科学家、临床科学家和执业临床医生齐聚一堂，介绍和讨论他们在神经创伤领域的最新发现和进展。我们特别努力让学生积极参与，并与顶尖的基础科学家和临床医生互动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting support for basic science graduate students, medical students, residents and postdoctoral fellows to participate in the 25th annual National Neurotrauma Symposium. The National Neurotrauma Symposium is the primary forum for the presentation of the most current research on the pathophysiology and treatment of central nervous system injury. The Specific Aims of the 25th annual National Neurotrauma Symposium (2007) are: 1. To provide a forum for the presentation, discussion and feedback regarding the most recent findings in Neurotrauma research and to encourage interaction between those new to the field and those with extensive experience. 2. To have relevant and thought-provoking presentations by researchers not directly involved in Neurotrauma research. The goal is to foster new ideas and ways of thinking into mainstream Neurotrauma as well as to encourage scientist from other disciplines to engage in Neurotrauma research. 3. To encourage the participation and education of students studying in the field of Neurotrauma. The Symposium fosters student participation through large poster sessions, student oral open-communication sessions, student poster competition, social mixers, student travel awards, and subsidized student registration fees. 4. To continue to encourage the involvement of researchers from women and minority groups in Neurotrauma research. The Symposium is the forum for scientific and social activities hosted by Women in Neurotrauma Research, the professional society for women in clinical and laboratory Neurotrauma research The program for the 2007 Symposium will feature 21 invited lectures, 12 oral presentations of selected student/postdoctoral abstracts, 4 poster sessions with a total of approximately 300 posters, and a student poster competition. The presentation of these exciting new areas will foster Neurotrauma research that will lead to new techniques for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients afflicted with head and spinal cord injury. The direct relevance of this project to public health rests in the exchange of new ideas and the debate generated regarding advancing laboratory findings into clinical practice. Students, basic scientists, clinician-scientists, and practicing clinicians come together to present and discuss their latest discoveries and advancements in the field of Neurotrauma. Particular efforts are made to actively engage students to participate and interact with leading basic scientists and clinicians.
