DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Vasculata-2011 will be held in Atlanta, Georgia July 26-29, 2011 with the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) serving as the lead host institution in conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine and the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Vasculata-2011 will fulfill the following specific aims: Aim 1: Inspire young investigators from a variety of disciplines to enter the field of vascular biology by providing trainees with a robust introductory learning experience. Aim 2: Facilitate the rapid integration of new research trainees into vascular biology research programs by enhancing their exposure and understanding of the latest experimental approaches employed in the field. Aim 3: Orient new investigators to the breadth and depth of the frontiers of knowledge of vascular biology through state-of-the-art presentations and scientific interchange with leading investigators. The current proposal builds upon an outstanding legacy of research training provided by the NAVBO Vasculata conference series by leveraging the superb critical mass of vascular biology investigators at the three partner institutions in Atlanta. The Vasculata-2011 conference will be a distinctive addition to the series by: 1) incorporating several new programmatic elements to enrich the training experience and 2) developing a special thematic emphasis on preparing a new generation of vascular biologists to extend the frontiers of discovery science as well as engage in translational science that bridges from 'bench-to-bedside". The proposed meeting builds upon the complementary strengths of the tri-institutional partnership such that the program reflects the inter-disciplinary nature of vascular biology. The conference will capture the breadth of the field in its inclusion of investigators from a wide variety of fields such as: bioengineering, systems biology, developmental biology, clinical science, regenerative medicine and genetic epidemiology. The conference plan includes an exciting and diverse panel of leading scientists that are poised to direct trainees toward the leading-edges of the field. The program agenda and outreach plan is designed to establish a diverse pool of trainees that will encourage interchange between young basic and clinical scientists with shared interests in a common field. Moreover, Vasculata-2011 will be a novel addition to the series by incorporating new programmatic elements that emphasize the mentorship of trainees as well as major initiatives to expand the gender and racial/ethnic diversity of biomedical scientists in the field. The precedent-setting selection of MSM, a minority-serving institution, as the lead host institution promises to make this a historic meeting within the Vasculata series that will further extend its stature as a national educational resource for the broader research community. Overall, the Vasculata-2011 conference promises to be an exciting and uniquely rich research training experience for talented young investigators that reflect the invaluable diversity of our nation.

描述（由申请人提供）： Vasculata-2011将于2011年7月26日至29日在格鲁吉亚州亚特兰大市举行，莫尔豪斯医学院（MSM）将与埃默里大学医学院和格鲁吉亚理工学院（格鲁吉亚理工学院）一起担任牵头主办机构。Vasculata-2011将实现以下具体目标：目标1：通过为学员提供强有力的入门学习体验，激励来自各个学科的年轻研究人员进入血管生物学领域。 目标二：促进新的研究学员迅速融入血管生物学研究计划，通过提高他们的曝光和在该领域采用的最新实验方法的理解。 目标3：通过最先进的演示和与领先研究者的科学交流，引导新研究者了解血管生物学知识前沿的广度和深度。 目前的提案建立在NAVBO Vasculata会议系列提供的研究培训的杰出遗产基础上，利用亚特兰大三个合作机构的血管生物学研究人员的卓越临界质量。Vasculata-2011会议将是该系列的一个独特的补充：1）纳入几个新的计划元素，以丰富培训经验，2）开发一个特殊的主题重点，培养新一代的血管生物学家，以扩展发现科学的前沿，并从事从“实验室到床边”的转化科学。拟议的会议建立在三机构合作伙伴关系的互补优势的基础上，使该计划反映了血管生物学的跨学科性质。该会议将捕捉该领域的广度，包括来自各种领域的研究人员，如：生物工程，系统生物学，发育生物学，临床科学，再生医学和遗传流行病学。会议计划包括一个令人兴奋的和多样化的领先科学家小组，他们准备引导学员走向该领域的前沿。该计划的议程和推广计划旨在建立一个多元化的受训人员库，鼓励年轻的基础和临床科学家之间的交流，在一个共同的领域有共同的兴趣。此外，Vasculata-2011年将是该系列的一个新的补充，纳入了新的方案要素，强调对受训人员的指导以及扩大该领域生物医学科学家的性别和种族/族裔多样性的重大举措。男男性接触者，一个少数民族服务机构，作为牵头主办机构的先例选择承诺，使这一血管系列内的历史性会议，将进一步扩大其作为更广泛的研究界的国家教育资源的地位。总体而言，Vasculata-2011会议有望为才华横溢的年轻研究人员提供令人兴奋且独特丰富的研究培训体验，反映出我们国家宝贵的多样性。
