DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous serious disorder that has an underlying genetic basis and evidence of brain structural and functional deficits. However, its underlying etiology is unknown and new treatments that have become available over the last decade still do not prevent or cure the illness. Further research progress can be made by the sharing of knowledge among investigators in international forums. Recently an international society (The Schizophrenia International Research Society) was formed with this as one of its goals. Thus, the First Schizophrenia International Research Society Conference will be held in conference facilities near Venice, Italy June 21 to 25, 2007. This conference is designed to have extensive discussion by senior leaders in this field of research on 4 main topics: Treatment, Genetics, Brain Imaging and Deconstructing the Clinical Diagnosis. Key questions within these topics will be debated and subsequent to the meeting, summary reports of these discussions will be published. A portion of each day will be allocated to the training of young investigators in the methods for research pursuit corresponding to each topic. The conference is open to all interested individuals. This proposal is a request for funding to support the travel expenses of junior investigators and students so that they may participate and acquire new knowledge that may influence their future research direction. Schizophrenia is a devastating mental illness that disrupts the lives of approximately 1% of the general population, and often requires lifetime treatment and frequent public hospitalizations. One way to make progress in understanding the illness and thus developing new curative treatments is for senior investigators to share their knowledge in international forums and to transmit this knowledge to junior new investigators and students entering the field. Thus, the First Schizophrenia International Research Society Conference will be held in conference facilities near Venice, Italy June 21 to 25, 2007 and this proposal will provide travel fellowships to the conference for junior researchers.

描述（由申请人提供）：精神分裂症是一种异质性严重疾病，具有基本的遗传基础和大脑结构和功能缺陷的证据。但是，它的基本病因是未知的，在过去十年中已获得的新疗法仍然无法预防或治愈疾病。在国际论坛中，研究人员之间的知识共享可以取得进一步的研究进度。最近，一个国际社会（精神分裂症国际研究学会）是其目标之一。因此，第一次精神分裂症国际研究协会会议将在意大利威尼斯附近的会议设施举行，2007年6月21日至25日。该会议旨在在这4个主要主题的研究领域的高级领导者进行广泛讨论：治疗，遗传学，脑成像和解构临床诊断。这些主题中的关键问题将在会议之后进行辩论，并将发布这些讨论的摘要报告。每天的一部分将分配给对与每个主题相对应的研究追求方法的年轻研究者的培训。会议向所有感兴趣的人开放。该提案是一项资金的要求，以支持初级调查人员和学生的旅行费用，以便他们可以参与并获得可能影响其未来研究方向的新知识。精神分裂症是一种毁灭性的精神疾病，破坏了大约1％的普通人群的生活，通常需要终生治疗和频繁的公共住院治疗。在理解疾病并因此开发新的治疗方法方面取得进展的一种方法是让高级研究人员在国际论坛上分享他们的知识，并将这些知识传播给初级新调查人员和进入该领域的学生。因此，第一次精神分裂症国际研究协会会议将在2007年6月21日至25日在意大利威尼斯附近的会议设施举行，该提案将为初级研究人员提供旅行奖学金。
