DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 application seeks funding to support travel awards for students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the joint meeting of the American Society for Neural Therapy and Repair (ASNTR) and the International Conference on Neural Therapy and Repair (INTR) to be held May 4 - May 8, 2011. Since its founding in 1994, the ASNTR has convened yearly each April/May in Clearwater, Florida. This year the meeting has merged with the 11th convening of the INTR which meets every three years alternating between the US, Asia and Europe. Both societies have a strong tradition of focusing on research advances in the fields of transplantation, neuroengineering and gene therapy applied to neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury that may lead to novel treatment strategies. Clinical trials that have emerged from basic science research reported on at previous meetings are often presented. Thus, students and postdoctoral fellows not only learn the basic sciences, they also learn translational issues discussed between basic scientists and clinicians. Therefore, ASNTR/INTR are truly unique gatherings. Attendance of this meeting is projected to be approximately 250- 300 registrants, based on previous participation levels. Each year the ASNTR Education and Training Committee encourages students/postdoctoral fellows to submit their abstracts in a competition and the top rated applicants receive travel awards to cover the cost of their meeting attendance and travel. ASNTR has always placed a high priority on funding travel awards for students and post-doctoral fellows. In the past ASNTR has received donations from biotech companies and non-profit organizations to cover these travel awards. However, in recent years ASNTR has seen these contributions dwindle and although ASNTR will continue to seek funding from the private sector, we do not anticipate any increase in contributions above recent levels in the coming years. This application requests $20,000 in total direct costs to support travel awards for the top 20 graduate students/postdoctoral fellows from US institutions that apply (awards of $1000 per student/postdoc). The ASNTR and the Education and Training Committee include and encourage participation of women, minorities and persons with disabilities in all its activities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This application seeks funding for travel awards for graduate students and postdocs to attend the upcoming combined meeting of the American Society for Neural Therapy and Repair and the International Conference on Neural Therapy and Repair. This meeting will allow junior and senior scientists and doctors working to discover new treatments for neurological disorders to come together and discuss their new research findings. This meeting will potentially allow new research collaborations to occur that could lead to improved treatments for neurological disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：此R13申请寻求资金，以支持学生和博士后研究员参加美国神经治疗和修复学会（ASNTR）和神经治疗和修复国际会议（INTR）的联席会议的旅行奖励将于2011年5月4日至5月8日举行。自1994年成立以来，ASNTR每年4月/5月在佛罗里达的克利尔沃特召开会议。今年的会议与第11届国际贸易研究所会议合并，国际贸易研究所每三年在美国、亚洲和欧洲轮流召开一次会议。这两个学会都有一个强大的传统，即注重移植、神经工程和基因治疗领域的研究进展，这些领域适用于神经系统疾病，如帕金森病、亨廷顿病、阿尔茨海默病、中风、脊髓损伤和创伤性脑损伤，可能导致新的治疗策略。在以前的会议上报告的基础科学研究中出现的临床试验经常被提出。因此，学生和博士后研究员不仅学习基础科学，他们还学习基础科学家和临床医生之间讨论的翻译问题。因此，ASNTR/INTR是真正独特的聚会。根据以往的与会人数，预计约有250- 300名登记者出席这次会议。每年ASNTR教育和培训委员会鼓励学生/博士后研究员在比赛中提交摘要，最高评分的申请人获得旅行奖，以支付他们出席会议和旅行的费用。ASNTR一直高度重视为学生和博士后研究员提供旅行奖励。过去，ASNTR收到了来自生物技术公司和非营利组织的捐款，以支付这些旅行奖励。然而，近年来ASNTR看到这些捐款减少，尽管ASNTR将继续从私营部门寻求资金，但我们预计未来几年捐款不会超过最近的水平。该申请要求直接费用总额为20，000美元，以支持来自美国申请机构的前20名研究生/博士后研究员的旅行奖励（每位学生/博士后奖励1000美元）。ASNTR及教育和培训委员会吸收并鼓励妇女、少数民族和残疾人参与其所有活动。 公共卫生关系：该申请旨在为研究生和博士后提供旅行奖励，以参加即将举行的美国神经治疗和修复学会联合会议以及神经治疗和修复国际会议。这次会议将允许初级和高级科学家和医生努力发现新的治疗神经系统疾病走到一起，讨论他们的新研究成果。这次会议将可能允许新的研究合作发生，可能导致改善神经系统疾病的治疗。
