DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Society for Acupuncture Research (SAR) Conference, entitled "SAR 2013: Impact of Acupuncture Research on 21st Century Health Care", aims to critically examine recent advances in research that have the potential to strengthen the traditional practice of acupuncture as a contemporary health care option. This conference will focus on disseminating important findings from acupuncture research that span the translational continuum from basic science, clinical trials, to patient care. In planning this conference, we will harness the momentum generated by our successful SAR 2010 conference as well as draw on our almost 20 years of experience in sponsoring major acupuncture research conferences. The overarching aim of the SAR 2013 conference is to highlight the "state of the science" of acupuncture research in the 21st century and to explore how this evidence base can impact modern health care trends. The Conference, scheduled for April 18-21, 2013 in Ann Arbor, MI, will be co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Department of Anesthesiology and the University of Michigan Program for Integrative Medicine. Additional sponsors are expected from major national and international academic institutions and organizations, based on sponsorship in prior SAR conferences. The 2013 program contains three keynote lectures that will directly address current research in acupuncture including: 1) the role of Traditional Chinese medicine in combat-related stress disorders, 2) neuroimaging markers to evaluate acupuncture efficacy and mechanism, and 3) the discordance between acupuncture research and acupuncture practice. In addition to keynote lectures, a special panel discussion will directly address the conference theme, the impact of acupuncture research on 21st century health care. We will also hold two symposia, one focusing on heterogeneity of acupuncture techniques and its impact on research conclusions, and the other focusing on contextual and patient-practitioner interactions in acupuncture research. Workshops scheduled within the conference will offer guidance in designing clinical trials in the emerging area of comparative effectiveness research and in incorporating a range of physiological biomarkers into clinical research. Presentations of original research, in acupuncture and allied traditional East Asian modalities, including clinical trials, basic science, and research methodology, will be solicited from members of the national and international research communities for oral and poster presentations. The Conference aims are to: 1. Provide an international forum in which researchers can assess acupuncture findings that clarify and strengthen the evidence base, 2. Foster interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration in order to develop innovative strategies for addressing current challenges in acupuncture research, and 3. Enhance international communication amongst acupuncture stakeholders (researchers, policy makers, practitioners) to assess the potential impact of acupuncture research in contemporary health care administration and decision making. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The environment in which biomedical research is performed and how health care is administered is changing within the United States. Amidst this changing landscape, research within the field of acupuncture that bridges basic science findings to the way that acupuncture is practiced in the community is emerging. This is significant as the adoption of acupuncture as a cost-effective intervention could both improve patient outcomes and reduce burden on society. This conference and its follow-up will advance these aims exponentially.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的针灸研究学会 (SAR) 会议题为“SAR 2013：针灸研究对 21 世纪医疗保健的影响”，旨在批判性地审查最近的研究进展，这些进展有可能加强传统针灸实践作为当代医疗保健选择的潜力。本次会议将重点传播针灸研究的重要发现，涵盖从基础科学、临床试验到患者护理的转化连续体。在筹划本次会议时，我们将利用 SAR 2010 会议成功举办的势头，并利用我们近 20 年主办主要针灸研究会议的经验。 2013 年 SAR 会议的总体目标是强调 21 世纪针灸研究的“科学现状”，并探讨这一证据基础如何影响现代医疗保健趋势。该会议定于 2013 年 4 月 18 日至 21 日在密歇根州安娜堡举行，由密歇根大学麻醉学系和密歇根大学综合医学项目共同主办。根据之前 SAR 会议的赞助情况，预计主要的国内和国际学术机构和组织将提供更多赞助商。 2013 年计划包含三场主题演讲，将直接讨论当前的针灸研究，包括： 1) 中医的作用 与战斗相关的应激障碍的医学；2）评估针灸功效和机制的神经影像学标记物；3）针灸研究与针灸实践之间的不一致。除了主题演讲外，特别小组讨论将直接讨论会议主题：针灸研究对 21 世纪医疗保健的影响。我们还将举办两场研讨会，一场重点关注针灸技术的异质性及其对研究结论的影响，另一场重点关注针灸研究中的情境和患者与执业者的互动。会议期间安排的研讨会将为比较有效性研究新兴领域的临床试验设计以及将一系列生理生物标志物纳入临床研究提供指导。针灸和相关东亚传统模式的原创研究报告，包括临床试验、基础科学和研究方法，将征集国内和国际研究界成员进行口头和海报展示。会议的目的是： 1. 提供一个国际论坛，研究人员可以评估针灸研究结果，澄清和加强证据基础； 2. 促进跨学科对话与合作，以制定应对针灸研究当前挑战的创新战略； 3. 加强针灸利益相关者（研究人员、政策制定者、从业者）之间的国际交流，以评估针灸研究对当代医疗保健管理的潜在影响 和决策。 公共卫生相关性：在美国，进行生物医学研究的环境以及医疗保健的管理方式正在发生变化。在这种不断变化的环境中，针灸领域的研究正在兴起，它将基础科学发现与针灸在社区中的实践方式联系起来。这一点意义重大，因为采用针灸作为一种具有成本效益的干预措施既可以改善患者的治疗效果，又可以减轻社会的负担。本次会议及其后续会议将成倍推进这些目标。
