DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Kentucky Spinal Cord & Head Injury Trust (KSCHIRT) Symposium is an annual meeting of neuroscientists, clinicians, research fellows and graduate and medical students who are involved in research and treatment of patients suffering from the effects of central nervous system (CNS) trauma. The KSCHIRT Symposium is fast becoming a premier annual meeting of the Neurotrauma community. This Symposium provides basic scientists and clinicians a rare opportunity to meet and discuss questions related to the neuropathophysiology of brain and spinal cord injury, the latest in neuroprotective strategies as well as mechanisms of recovery. This symposium is unique not only the subject matter covered but the diversity of the attendees. The KSCHIRT Symposium is organized on a biyearly basis by the University of Kentucky Spinal Cord & Brain Injury Research Center (SCoBIRC) or by our sister organization, the Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center at the University of Louisville. The goal of the University of Kentucky SCoBIRC is promote research on injuries to the spinal cord and brain that result in paralysis or other loss of neurological function. The 2008 14th annual KSCHIRT Symposium will focus specifically on the most cutting edge areas of central nervous system injury and repair including the latest breakthroughs in neuroprostheses. The Specific Aims of the 14th annual Kentucky Spinal Cord & Head Injury Trust Symposium are: 1. To provide a forum for the presentation, discussion and feedback regarding the most recent findings in Neurotrauma research and to encourage extensive interaction between those new to the field and those with extensive experience of neurotrauma. 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 participation and education of students that are entering or studying the field of Neurotrauma. The Symposium fosters student participation through poster sessions, meet and greets with the speakers, and subsidized student registration fees. 4. To encourage the involvement of researchers from women, minority groups, and persons with disabilities in neurotrauma research. The program for the 2008 symposium will feature 16 lectures and 2 dedicated posters. Their also dinner that is served the first night of the conference with seating that places students and fellows at tables with the speakers. Lunch is also arranged in this fashion. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: 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 are brought together to present and discuss their latest discoveries and advancements in the field in the field of Neurotrauma. Particular efforts are made to actively engage students to participate and interact with leading basic scientists and clinicians in the Neurotrauma field of research.

描述（由申请人提供）：肯塔基州脊髓和头部损伤信托基金（KSCHIRT）研讨会是神经科学家，临床医生，研究员和研究生和医学生的年度会议，他们参与研究和治疗中枢神经系统（CNS）创伤患者的影响。KSCHIRT研讨会正在迅速成为神经创伤社区的首要年度会议。本次研讨会为基础科学家和临床医生提供了一个难得的机会，以满足和讨论有关脑和脊髓损伤的神经病理生理学问题，最新的神经保护策略以及恢复机制。这次研讨会是独一无二的，不仅是所涵盖的主题，但与会者的多样性。KSCHIRT研讨会由肯塔基州脊髓和脑损伤研究中心（SCoBIRC）或我们的姐妹组织，路易斯维尔大学的肯塔基州脊髓损伤研究中心每两年举办一次。肯塔基州大学SCoBIRC的目标是促进对脊髓和大脑损伤导致瘫痪或其他神经功能丧失的研究。2008年第14届年度KSCHIRT研讨会将特别关注中枢神经系统损伤和修复的最前沿领域，包括神经假体的最新突破。第14届肯塔基州脊髓和头部损伤信托研讨会的具体目标是：1。提供一个论坛，介绍，讨论和反馈有关神经创伤研究的最新发现，并鼓励那些新的领域和那些有丰富的神经创伤经验之间的广泛互动。2.由不直接参与神经创伤研究的研究人员进行相关和发人深省的演讲。其目标是促进新的想法和思维方式进入主流神经创伤，以及鼓励来自其他学科的科学家从事神经创伤研究。3.鼓励正在进入或学习神经创伤领域的学生的参与和教育。研讨会通过海报会议促进学生参与，与演讲者见面和打招呼，并补贴学生注册费。4.鼓励来自妇女、少数群体和残疾人的研究人员参与神经创伤研究。2008年研讨会的计划将包括16个讲座和2个专门的海报。他们还在会议的第一天晚上提供晚餐，座位安排学生和研究员与演讲者一起用餐。午餐也是这样安排的。 公共卫生相关性：该项目与公共卫生的直接相关性在于新思想的交流和关于将实验室发现推进临床实践的辩论。学生，基础科学家，临床科学家和执业临床医生聚集在一起，介绍和讨论他们在神经创伤领域的最新发现和进展。特别努力积极吸引学生参与并与神经创伤研究领域的领先基础科学家和临床医生互动。
