DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Spring Brain Conference (SBC) was first organized in late 1989 to foster interdisciplinary communication among scientists studying different aspects of brain function in a format that stimulates significant interaction and discussion. The objective of the conference is to bring together top neuroscientists with varied backgrounds, interests and approaches expressly to promote the development of new strategies to investigate and stimulate the development of new therapeutic approaches to disorders of the CNS. SBC is held in Sedona, Arizona in mid-March. The dates for the next conference are March 15-18, 2006. Support is requested for meetings in 2006 and 2007. Registration and participation in the meeting is open. The meeting site, however, limits participants to a maximum of 100 scientists. In 2006, the conference will consist of 10- 12 plenary scientific sessions each organized around a theme or topic. Sessions are chosen on a competitive basis and are given in 2-4 oral presentations by recognized experts followed by open discussion. We request support for 1 established scientist, 3 Young Investigators and 5 Trainee Fellows to participate. Several sessions will be organized by or in collaboration with program personnel from the NIH. For 2006, as in 2005, we will again encourage participation by staff from different institutes such as: NINDS, NIA, NICHD, NIDA and NIMH. Two plenary lecturers will be invited to present expert overviews on topics of broad interest. We request support for a Keynote Speaker who gives the opening talk of conference. There will be a poster session, focusing on posters presented by young investigators/trainees/graduate students, particularly young scientists from diverse background minority trainees. Over 70% of the budget is to support participation by these participants. The Young Investigators and Trainee Fellows will organize and participate in hands-on presentations to 180 Native American High School Children (grades 9-12) who are residents of the Kinlani Bordertown Dormitory in Flagstaff, AZ. This targeted outreach will expand on the successful interactions in 2005. We will continue and deepen this unique effort over the next 2 years of the grant. We are in a position to build unique relationships with under-represented Native Americans. A goal is to attract new talent from this group to the exciting field of neuroscience, biology and medicine. In 2005 the increase in the number of women scientists participating in the SBC was sustained. Further increasing participation of women scientists in all aspects of this conference remains a major goal for coming years. A report of the 2005 conference highlights will be in press soon and will be posted on the web site. A preliminary announcement for the 2006 meeting is in press. Once the program is set, advertisements (and materials) will be purchased for which funding is requested. Finally, funds are requested to partially defray costs of organizing and conducting the conference, collecting follow-up assessments, and supporting the meeting's web site.

描述(申请人提供)：春季大脑会议最初是在晚期组织的，目的是促进研究大脑功能不同方面的科学家之间的跨学科交流，以刺激重要的互动和讨论。会议的目的是将具有不同背景、兴趣和方法的顶尖神经学家聚集在一起，明确地促进新战略的发展，以调查和刺激中枢神经系统疾病的新治疗方法的发展。SBC将于3月中旬在亚利桑那州的塞多纳举行。下一次会议的日期是2006年3月15日至18日。请为2006年和2007年的会议提供支助。会议的注册和参与是开放的。然而，会议地点限制参与者最多100名科学家。2006年，会议将由10至12次全体科学会议组成，每次会议都围绕一个主题或专题组织。课程在竞争的基础上选择，由公认的专家进行2-4次口头陈述，然后进行公开讨论。我们请求支持1名知名科学家、3名青年研究人员和5名见习研究员参加。将由美国国立卫生研究院的项目人员或与其合作组织几次会议。2006年，与2005年一样，我们将再次鼓励来自不同机构的工作人员参与，如：NINDS、NIA、NICHD、NIDA和NIMH。将邀请两位全体讲师就广泛感兴趣的主题发表专家概述。我们请求支持一位在会议开幕式上发表讲话的主旨发言人。将举行招贴会，重点介绍青年研究人员/实习生/研究生，特别是来自不同背景的少数族裔实习生的青年科学家提交的海报。超过70%的预算用于支持这些参与者的参与。青年调查员和见习研究员将为180名住在亚利桑那州弗拉格斯塔夫Kinlani Bordertown宿舍的美国原住民高中生(9-12年级)组织和参加动手讲解。这项有针对性的外展活动将在2005年成功互动的基础上扩大。在接下来的两年里，我们将继续并深化这一独特的努力。我们有能力与代表性不足的美洲原住民建立独特的关系。一个目标是将这一群体中的新人才吸引到令人兴奋的神经科学、生物学和医学领域。2005年，参加科学和技术委员会的女科学家人数持续增加。进一步增加女科学家对本次会议各方面的参与仍然是今后几年的一个主要目标。关于2005年会议要点的报告将很快出版，并将在网站上公布。2006年会议的初步公告正在发布中。一旦计划确定，将购买申请资金的广告(和材料)。最后，请拨资金以部分支付组织和举办会议、收集后续评估和支助会议网站的费用。
