INA-14

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案请求部分支持将于2013年6月9日至13日在荷兰阿姆斯特丹西北7英里的一个小村庄Egmond aan Zee举行的“第14届国际神经毒理学协会--神经毒理学中健康和疾病的神经发育基础”双年度会议。INA会议的总体目标是：1)突出神经毒理学的最新发现；2)通过主办多个分支学科的研讨会来促进该领域的发展；3)为发展不同国家的科学家之间的工作关系提供一个共同的环境；以及4)招募和激励年轻的研究人员从事神经毒理学的事业。本次会议的具体目标是：(1)召集来自全球的代表神经毒理学研究关键领域的40位特邀演讲者，共计200人 在相对孤立的环境中举行为期五天的会议；(2)确定未来对神经毒性和神经退化的环境和职业原因的研究需要；(3)增加年轻和有前途的神经毒理学家在这一领域的参与；以及(4)及时传播最新的研究结果。该计划将于周日晚上开始，由俄勒冈州全球健康中心主任Peter S.Spencer博士主旨演讲，主题为Hooisma演讲，题为与植物中自然发生的物质相关的被忽视的神经和神经退行性疾病。11个专题讨论会将广泛讨论该领域当前的问题。研讨会标题、演讲者和他们的详细列表 标题在提案中作为附件2提出。此外，参加神经毒理学研究生课程的学生将组织和发表两个研讨会，作为口头报告的补充(6月10日星期一上午和6月12日星期三上午)。这一申请的意义在于，INA会议系列是一个重要的场所，它推动了参与神经毒理学方方面面的研究人员和教育工作者在国际社会的研究，促进了进入该领域的科学家的职业发展，促进了国际范围内的合作研究活动，并为科学管理者和项目主任提供了最新的信息。这一应用程序与健康相关的是，由演讲引发的讨论将定义在影响人类神经健康的领域中需要通过实验解决的主要问题，从发育暴露到与老化神经系统相关的退化，以及发育中神经毒物暴露导致神经退化的终身影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for the "14th Biennial Meeting of the International Neurotoxicology Association The Neurodevelopmental Basis of Health and Disease in Neurotoxicology" to be held June 9-13, 2013 in Egmond aan Zee, a small village located 7 miles northwest of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The overarching objectives of the INA meetings are to: 1) highlight the latest findings in neurotoxicology, 2) promote the development of the field by hosting symposia from multiple sub-disciplines, 3) provide a collegial setting for developing working relationships among scientists from different countries, and 4) recruit and energize young investigators to pursue careers in neurotoxicology. The specific aims of this meeting will be (1) to convene 40 invited speakers from around the globe that represent critical areas of neurotoxicological research with a total of 200 participants for a five day conference in a relatively isolated setting; (2) to define future research needs in environmental and occupational causes of neurotoxicity and neurodegeneration; (3) to increase the involvement of young and promising neurotoxicologists in this field; and (4) to disseminate state-of-the-art findings in a timely manner. The program will commence Sunday evening with a keynote lecture by Dr. Peter S. Spencer, Director of the Oregon Global Health Center, presenting the Keynote Hooisma Lecture titled Neglected Neurological and Neurodegenerative Diseases Associated with Naturally Occurring Substances in Plants. The 11 symposia will broadly address current issues in the field. A detailed list of symposia titles, speakers and their titles is presented as Attachment #2 in the proposal. In addition, two symposia organized and presented by students participating in graduate programs in neurotoxicology will round out the oral presentations (Monday AM, June 10 and Wednesday AM, June 12). The significance of this application is that the INA Conference series is a major venue that propels research in the international community of researchers and educators involved in all aspects of neurotoxicology, fosters career development of scientists entering the field and promotes collaborative research activity with an international scope, and provides state of the art information for scientific administrators and program directors. The health relatedness of this application is that the discussions stimulated by the presentations will define the major questions that require experimental resolution in areas that affect human neurological heath, ranging from developmental exposures to degeneration associated with the aging nervous system, as well as the lifetime effects of developmental neurotoxicant exposure resulting in neurodegeneration.
