Symposium: AHA Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences

描述(由申请人提供)： 这是一个竞争的续订申请，申请多年会议拨款7R13HL078309研讨会：美国心脏协会基础心血管科学理事会。这笔资金用于资助世界上有关分子心血管生物学和疾病的主要年度会议。它是由S领导的世界心血管科学家组织--美国心脏协会基础心血管科学委员会主办的。该会议的起源可以追溯到1991年，当时理事会发起了一次专注于分子心脏病学的会议。在会议从2002年开始成为年度活动之前，零星地举行了后续会议。2004年，美国心脏协会正式承认这次会议是一次永久性、重复性的科学会议，并开始资助R13。所代表的科学内容是分子心血管科学中的传统主题和新领域的精心组合。后者经常被心血管领域以外的专家讨论，在不同的时间包括应激途径、细胞凋亡、干细胞、功能基因组学、高通量化学筛选、microRNAs等。这次会议现在已经连续7年定期举行，于夏季在西部一个与世隔绝的州地点举行，但距离一个主要机场不到90分钟。会议的步伐雄心勃勃，有助于提高科学强度。2011年的会议将包括12场会议的66名演讲者、1名主旨演讲者、4名入围职业生涯早期调查员的人和200多张海报。然而，重要的互动时间是以3顿早餐、2顿午餐、1顿晚餐、6次咖啡休息和3次海报会议的形式提供的。2011年会议将于2011年7月18日在洛杉矶新奥尔良的丽思卡尔顿酒店举行，由迈阿密大学的Joshua Hare博士和新泽西大学医学院的Junichi Sadoshima博士组织。从NHLBI寻求的支持将占会议费用的8.5%，并将用于心血管外展奖(少数族裔旅行奖)和新研究员旅行奖。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competing Renewal application for a multi-year conference grant 7R13HL078309 Symposium: American Heart Association Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences. The Renewal pertains to year 8. This grant supports what has become the major annual meeting in the world dealing with molecular cardiovascular biology and disease. It is sponsored by the Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences of the American Heart Association, the world s leading organization of cardiovascular scientists. The origins of the conference date back to 1991 when the Council initiated a meeting focused on molecular cardiology . Follow-up meetings were held sporadically before the conference became an annual event starting in 2002. In 2004, the American Heart Association formally recognized this conference as a permanent, recurring scientific meeting and R13 funding commenced. The scientific content represented is a deliberate mix of traditional topics in molecular cardiovascular science and novel areas. The latter, which are often discussed by experts outside of the cardiovascular field, have included at various times, stress pathways, apoptosis, stem cells, functional genomics, high throughput chemical screens, microRNAs, and others. The meeting, which has now taken place regularly for 7 consecutive years, is held during the summer at a Western state location that is secluded but within 90 minutes of a major airport. The pace of the meeting is ambitious and contributes to the scientific intensity. The 2011 meeting will include 66 speakers in 12 sessions, 1 keynote speaker, 4 early career investigator finalists and over 200 posters. Significant interaction time is provided, however, in the form of 3 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 1 dinner, 6 coffee breaks, and 3 poster sessions. The 2011 meeting will be 7/18/11 7/21/11 at the Ritz Carlton, in New Orleans, LA and will be organized by Drs. Joshua Hare (University of Miami) and Junichi Sadoshima (University of New Jersey Medical and Dental School). Support sought from NHLBI would constitute 8.5% of conference costs and would be used toward Cardiovascular Outreach Awards (minority travel awards) and New Investigator Travel Awards.
