Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OBHM)travel awards

描述(由申请人提供)：这是一份为学员提供旅行奖励的申请，以参加将在华盛顿州西雅图举行的2013年人脑成像组织年会(www.Human brainmapping.org)，我是该会议的当地组织委员会主席和计划委员会成员。人脑成像组织(OHBM)是致力于非侵入性神经成像研究和人脑功能组织的主要国际组织，其年会被视为将创新的脑成像方法与认知神经科学相结合的主要场所。它主要是一个教育论坛，用于交流这一领域的最新和开创性研究。这次会议将聚集2500多名科学家，他们使用所有的脑成像模式。R13建议的目的是支持为排名最高的摘要的第一作者的受训者提供旅行奖励。受训人员包括医学生、研究生、临床神经科学(神经学、精神病学、神经外科)住院医生和与人脑成像相关领域的博士后研究员。旅行奖励一直是这次会议的一个常规和有效的特点。在过去的几年里，获奖者通常会在年会上做超过三分之一的口头陈述。OHBM最近的会议地点如下：加拿大多伦多，2005年；意大利佛罗伦萨，2006年；澳大利亚墨尔本，2007年；芝加哥，2008年；旧金山，2009年；西班牙巴塞罗那，2010年；加拿大魁北克市，2011年；北京，中国，2012年。这次会议在以下几个方面与NINDS有相关性。首先，几乎每个演示文稿都与 人类的大脑，无论是健康还是疾病。更好地了解人脑的组织结构与治疗神经疾病直接相关。此外，非侵入性成像方法的使用在临床神经科学的翻译研究中变得越来越重要。该计划将重点介绍新兴的结构和功能磁共振成像方法，以跟踪大脑系统的组织、连通性和可塑性，以及成像遗传学。通过将对基础系统神经科学、非侵入性成像技术和神经医学感兴趣的科学家聚集在一起，会议为感兴趣的受训者提供了杰出的跨学科和国际、教育和科学经验。 在人脑的组织中。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application to fund travel awards for trainees to attend the 2013 annual meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (www.humanbrainmapping.org), to be held in Seattle, WA, and for which I am the Local Organizing Committee Chair and a Program Committee member. The Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) is the primary international organization dedicated to noninvasive neuroimaging research and the functional organization of the human brain, and its Annual Meeting is regarded as a premier venue for the integration of innovative brain imaging methods and cognitive neuroscience. It is primarily an educational forum for the exchange of up-to-the-minute and groundbreaking research in this area. The meeting will gather more than 2500 scientists, working with all brain imaging modalities. The R13 proposal is for the purpose of supporting travel awards for trainees who are first authors on the most highly ranked abstracts. Trainees include medical students, graduate students, residents in clinical neuroscience (neurology, psychiatry, neurosurgery) and post-doctoral fellows in fields related to human brain mapping. Travel awards have been a regular and effective feature of this meeting. In past years, awardees have typically given more than 1/3 of all oral presentations at the annual meeting. Recent past meetings of OHBM were in: Toronto Canada, 2005; Florence Italy, 2006; Melbourne Australia 2007; Chicago, Ill 2008; San Francisco CA 2009, Barcelona Spain 2010, Quebec City, Canada 2011, and Beijing China, 2012. This meeting has relevance for the NINDS in the following ways. First, virtually every presentation relates to the function and structure of the human brain, in both health and disease. Better understanding of the organization of the human brain is directly relevant to treating neurological disease. Moreover the use of noninvasive imaging methods is increasingly important to translational investigation in clinical neuroscience. The program will highlight emerging structural and functional MRI imaging approaches to tracking brain systems organization, connectivity and plasticity, and imaging genetics. By bringing together scientists interested in basic systems neuroscience, noninvasive imaging technology, and neurologic medicine, the meeting affords an outstanding interdisciplinary, and international, educational and scientific experience for trainees interested in the organization of the human brain.
