DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) is an international organization devoted to advancing the field of neuroinformatics. The annual INCF Neuroinformatics Congress provides a meeting place for researchers in this emerging field, including data- and knowledge-bases of the nervous system from molecular to behavioral levels; tools for the acquisition, analysis, and visualization of nervous system data; and theoretical, computational, and simulation environments for modeling the brain. The 4th Annual INCF Neuroinformatics Congress will be held in Boston September 4-6, 2011. This proposal seeks to augment the upcoming 2011 meeting by providing a) student and postdoctoral attendance support and b) child and family care support. With these additional attendee support functions in place, we aim to further reduce barriers to attendance of the meeting for all potential attendees, and thus reach an even broader subset of the neuroinformatics community at critical times in their careers. Better dissemination results in better science, and thus better healthcare, for all. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Scientific meetings are critical to the advance of science and students, recent graduates and professionals who are primary family caregivers are at a disadvantage in attending these meetings. This proposal will augment the 4th Annual INCF Neuroinformatics Congress by providing support to reduce these barriers to attendance.

描述(由申请人提供)：国际神经信息学协调机构(INCF)是一个致力于推动神经信息学领域发展的国际组织。一年一度的INCF神经信息学大会为这一新兴领域的研究人员提供了一个会议场所，包括从分子到行为水平的神经系统数据和知识库；用于获取、分析和可视化神经系统数据的工具；以及用于对大脑建模的理论、计算和模拟环境。第四届INCF神经信息学年会将于2011年9月4日至6日在波士顿举行。这项提议旨在通过提供a)学生和博士后出勤支持以及b)儿童和家庭护理支持来加强即将到来的2011年会议。有了这些额外的与会者支持功能，我们的目标是进一步减少所有潜在与会者参加会议的障碍，从而在他们职业生涯的关键时刻接触到更广泛的神经信息学社区。更好的传播会带来更好的科学，从而为所有人带来更好的医疗保健。 公共卫生相关性：科学会议对科学的进步至关重要，而学生、应届毕业生和作为主要家庭照顾者的专业人员在参加这些会议时处于不利地位。这项提案将通过提供支持来减少这些出席障碍，从而加强第四届INCF神经信息学年会。
