DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Society for Neuroscience (SfN), the world's leading professional association for the field of neuroscience, seeks a five-year renewal grant for its successful Neurobiology of Disease Workshop (NDW). The next decade is expected to lead to breakthroughs in neuroscience and rapid translation of discoveries to improving human health and will require new generations of disease-focused basic researchers. A cornerstone of SfN's mission is to provide educational resources to neuroscientists at all stages of their careers, and the NDW has had a strong 30-year track record as the most successful national-level workshop specifically aimed at attracting young basic neuroscientists to the study of diseases of the nervous system. The overall goal of the NDW remains to inspire new basic science researchers from multiple disciplines to focus on disease research that will ultimately contribute to advancing the treatment of important neurological disorders. The four specific aims of the program are: 1) to introduce young neuroscientists to important unsolved scientific problems that relate directly to diseases of the nervous system; 2) to show neuroscientists in training the human side of diseases of the nervous system; 3) to promote the exchange of information on state-of-the-art disease-related research among the faculty and students; and 4) to broaden the reach of the workshop by disseminating its content beyond the SfN annual meeting. SfN will achieve these aims by assembling top experts in a specific disease area each year to introduce the latest problems and ideas through a day-long workshop for 250 participants. The workshops, held at the Society's annual meetings, are comprised of a morning of carefully rehearsed and integrated didactic lectures and patient interviews, followed by an afternoon of small interactive discussion groups led by active scientific and clinical experts. New to this grant cycle will be efforts aimed at increasing the impact of the NDW program. Young neuroscientists unable to attend the workshop will benefit from recorded lectures and slides on CD-ROM. In addition, SfN will organize a follow-up webinar and online discussion forum after each workshop, to further encourage and engage NDW attendees and others to pursue studies and discussions on the specific neurological disease or disorder. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The overall goal of the Neurobiology of Disease Workshop (NDW) is to introduce, the world of neurological disease to the basic scientist, with the expectation that whatever their interest or expertise in the nervous system, they may bring extraordinary new questions, ideas and even solutions to problems that baffle those in the field. These one-day workshops take place at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting each year and are organized by the top leaders in a specific disease. NDW is composed of a morning of carefully integrated didactic lectures and patient interviews, followed by an afternoon of small interactive discussion groups led by active scientific and clinical experts. The program will benefit 250 young neuroscientists at each workshop and countless others via Web-based dissemination activities.

描述(由申请者提供)：神经科学学会(SFN)，世界领先的神经科学领域的专业协会，为其成功的神经疾病生物学研讨会(NDW)寻求五年续期赠款。预计未来十年将在神经科学方面取得突破，并将发现迅速转化为改善人类健康的成果，这将需要新一代专注于疾病的基础研究人员。SFN的使命是为神经科学家职业生涯的所有阶段提供教育资源，NDW作为专门旨在吸引年轻基础神经科学家参与神经系统疾病研究的最成功的国家级研讨会，已有30年的良好记录。NDW的总体目标仍然是激励来自多个学科的新的基础科学研究人员专注于疾病研究，这些研究最终将有助于推进重要神经疾病的治疗。该计划的四个具体目标是：1)向年轻的神经科学家介绍与神经系统疾病直接相关的重要的未解决的科学问题；2)向神经科学家展示神经系统疾病的人类方面的培训；3)促进教职员工和学生之间关于最先进的疾病相关研究的信息交流；以及4)通过在SFN年会之外传播其内容来扩大研讨会的覆盖范围。SFN将通过每年召集特定疾病领域的顶级专家，通过250人参加的为期一天的研讨会来介绍最新的问题和想法，从而实现这些目标。这些工作坊在学会的年会上举行，包括上午精心排练和综合的授课讲座和患者访谈，然后是下午由活跃的科学和临床专家领导的小型互动讨论小组。这一赠款周期的新内容将是旨在增加NDW计划影响的努力。无法参加研讨会的年轻神经学家将从录制的讲座和CD-ROM幻灯片中受益。此外，SFN将在每次研讨会后组织后续网络研讨会和在线讨论论坛，以进一步鼓励和吸引NDW与会者和其他人就特定的神经疾病或障碍进行研究和讨论。 与公共卫生相关：疾病神经生物学研讨会(NDW)的总体目标是向基础科学家介绍神经系统疾病的世界，期望无论他们对神经系统的兴趣或专业知识如何，他们可能会带来非同寻常的新问题、想法，甚至是令该领域的人困惑的问题的解决方案。这些为期一天的研讨会每年在神经科学学会年会上举行，由特定疾病的最高领导人组织。NDW由一个上午精心整合的说教讲座和患者采访组成，然后是一个下午由活跃的科学和临床专家领导的小型互动讨论小组。该计划将使每个研讨会中的250名年轻神经科学家和无数其他人通过基于网络的传播活动受益。
