DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests financial support from the National Institute on Aging for the 2014-2015 Annual Meetings organized by the Biological Sciences (BS) Section of the GSA. Our guiding principle to organizing the 2014-2015 meetings is that the highest quality and most relevant science in the aging field will emerge when researchers understand the issues of human aging from geriatricians, psychologists and sociologists. In turn, improvements in clinical care and the health of nation will be facilitated when geriatricians, psychologists and sociologists understand the basic mechanisms of aging and the efficacy of interventions designed to ameliorate aging and age-related disease. Furthermore, we are cognizant of our responsibility to provide BS members, as well as other members of the GSA, the latest cutting-edge, high quality science that ultimately will improve the research of all who attend. The annual meeting of GSA is the only meeting in the country that has the ability to foster such an interdisciplinary approach to aging research. The GSA BS Section has re-dedicated itself to organizing the highest quality scientific program at the annual meeting, thereby providing a forum to engender interaction and exchange of ideas among scientists from disparate fields. The goal is to raise awareness of recent, fundamental advances in our understanding of aging biology and facilitate translation into clinical interventions. We propose a single-track program featuring emerging concepts in the basic biology of aging with the highest translational potential that will promote discussion and networking among speakers and conference attendees across sections, particularly between the BS and Health Sciences Sections. The meeting will also provide opportunities for talented junior investigators to have a prominent role in BS symposia. Scientific sessions and overall meeting logistics will be evaluated to implement quality improvement for the subsequent year and to provide continuity for symposium themes.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案要求国家老龄问题研究所为GSA生物科学（BS）部门组织的2014-2015年度会议提供财政支持。我们组织2014-2015年会议的指导原则是，当研究人员从老年病学家、心理学家和社会学家那里了解人类衰老问题时，老龄化领域最高质量和最相关的科学就会出现。反过来，当老年病学家，心理学家和社会学家了解衰老的基本机制以及旨在改善衰老和与年龄有关的疾病的干预措施的有效性时，将促进临床护理和国民健康的改善。此外，我们认识到我们有责任为BS成员以及GSA的其他成员提供最新的尖端，高质量的科学，最终将改善所有与会者的研究。GSA年会是该国唯一有能力促进这种跨学科方法进行老龄化研究的会议。GSA BS部门重新致力于在年会上组织最高质量的科学计划，从而为来自不同领域的科学家提供一个互动和交流思想的论坛。我们的目标是提高人们对我们对衰老生物学理解的最新基本进展的认识，并促进转化为临床干预措施。我们提出了一个单一的轨道程序，具有最高的翻译潜力，将促进跨部门的发言者和与会者之间的讨论和网络，特别是BS和健康科学部门之间的新兴概念的老化的基础生物学。会议还将为有才华的初级调查人员提供机会，在BS研讨会中发挥突出作用。将对科学会议和总体会议后勤工作进行评估，以便在下一年提高质量，并使专题讨论会的主题具有连续性。
