DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant application is to support in part the National Neurotrauma Society (NNS)'s 30th Annual Conference at the Arizona Biltmore Resort, Phoenix AZ. This year's three and a half day conference from July 22-25, 2012 has 22 exciting sessions, including six parallel sessions that cover a balance of preclinical and clinical research on both traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. In this application, we seek funding support for the 20 best pre and post -doctoral students ($10,000), to attend the meeting, and $15,000 towards partial support for the travel of 30 invited speakers. The theme of this year's conference is "The Spectrum of Neurotrauma" - we will focus on several interlinked and topical issues in neurotrauma. In the TBI subarea, one of the understudied areas is pediatric brain injury, which will be featured in this conference. On the other hand, during this past year, we continue to see an explosion of interests and publications in blast brain injury (Scheibel, et al., 2011; Bass et a., 2011) which will be featured in the conference. Regarding spinal cord injury (SCI), there will be a focused session on various functional deficits and complications after SCI. In terms of neurotrauma management and treatment, we will provide state-of-the-art overviews of the utility of biomarkers and new MRI imaging technology, promising preclinical drug treatment and update of on-going clinical trials in TBI and SCI, including the two on-going progesterone trials. We will also cover the concept that neurotrauma is not only an acute medical problem, but can evolve into a chronic medical condition for the patients. Thus more sophisticated research and clinical tools in neuro-rehabilitation will be the key, as is the understanding of the molecular evolution from TBI to chronic neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) (Stern et al., 2011). Lastly, we will also invite several international speakers to talk about their TBI management experience in their own countries for cross-learning. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: We expect to have 700 plus attendees including (physicians, nurses, neuropsychologist and researchers (MD, PhD, professors, postdocs and graduate students) attending the National Neurotrauma Society's 30th Annual Conference in Phoenix AZ (July 2012) Over 1.5 million new cases of traumatic brain injury present to emergency rooms in the United States and over 50,000 die each year. In addition, approximately 12,000 new spinal cord injuries occur each year. The theme of this year's conference is "The Spectrum of Neurotrauma".

描述（由申请人提供）：本补助金申请是为了支持在亚利桑那州凤凰城亚利桑那比尔特莫尔度假村举行的国家神经创伤学会（NNS）第30届年会的一部分。今年为期三天半的会议将于2012年7月22日至25日举行，共有22个精彩的会议，其中包括六个平行会议，涵盖了临床前和临床研究的平衡 创伤性脑损伤和脊髓损伤在这项申请中，我们寻求资助20名最好的博士前和博士后学生（10，000美元）参加会议，以及15，000美元用于部分支持30名受邀演讲者的旅行。今年会议的主题是“神经创伤的频谱”-我们将集中在神经创伤中的几个相互关联的和热门的问题。在TBI子领域中，未充分研究的领域之一是儿科脑损伤，该领域将在本次会议上进行专题讨论。另一方面，在过去的一年中，我们继续看到爆炸性脑损伤的兴趣和出版物的爆炸性增长（Scheibel等人，2011; Bass等人，2011年），将在会议上展出。关于脊髓损伤，将有一个集中的会议，对各种功能缺陷和并发症后脊髓损伤。在神经创伤管理和治疗方面，我们将提供最先进的生物标志物和新的MRI成像技术的效用，有前途的临床前药物治疗和TBI和SCI正在进行的临床试验的更新，包括两个正在进行的孕酮试验的概述。我们还将涵盖神经创伤不仅是一个急性医学问题，但可以演变为患者的慢性疾病的概念。因此，神经康复中更复杂的研究和临床工具将是关键，因为理解从TBI到慢性神经退行性疾病如阿尔茨海默病和慢性创伤性脑病（CTE）的分子进化也是关键（Stern et al.，2011年）。最后，我们还将邀请几位国际演讲者讲述他们在各自国家的TBI管理经验，以供交流学习。 公共卫生相关性：我们预计将有700多名与会者，包括（医生，护士，神经心理学家和研究人员（医学博士，博士，教授，博士后和研究生）参加国家神经创伤学会在亚利桑那州凤凰城举行的第30届年会（2012年7月）。此外，每年约有12，000例新的脊髓损伤发生。今年会议的主题是“神经创伤谱”。
