THIRD NEUROCRITICAL CARE RESEARCH CONFERENCE

描述(申请人提供)：第三届神经危重护理研究会议将于2014年8月15-17日在德克萨斯州休斯敦的德克萨斯医学中心(贝勒医学院/圣卢克医学中心)举行。圣卢克医学中心的神经科学中心已经承诺为这次研讨会提供部分资金支持。这次跨学科科学研讨会的总体目标是将来自不同领域的科学家和医生聚集在一起，他们对了解和促进结果研究在神经危重护理中的应用有着共同的兴趣。这次研讨会的独特之处在于，它将为展示和讨论神经危重护理领域的临床试验设计、研究工具和研究重点的最新进展提供一个论坛。还将讨论在神经危重护理中设计适当结果研究研究的必要性。本次研讨会将由开幕招待会和随后的4个科学会议组成：1)专题讲座；2)结果和干预评估；3)研究重点和结果研究；以及4)研究项目陈述和讨论。此外，还将在会议结束时组织讨论。我们预计将有大约200人参加。组织/科学委员会将由神经危重护理社区的成员组成，但具有代表会议综合/教育概念的各种研究兴趣。在会议结束时，与会者应该能够：1)了解神经危重护理疾病结果研究的重要性和机会；2)讨论与结果评估和干预措施相关的最新科学进展，这些进展将对神经危重护理研究产生影响；3)确定神经危重护理结果研究的未来方向；以及4)通过神经危重护理研究网络(NCRN)和其他NINDS资助的研究网络加强合作。所有报告都将被录制下来，并在“神经危重护理协会”网站上公布，供公众查阅(该网站自2003年建立)。此外，被邀请的演讲者将被要求提交与其主题相关的手稿，供同行评议并发表在《神经危重护理》杂志上。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Third Neurocritical Care Research Conference will be held at the Texas Medical Center, Houston, Texas, on August 15 - 17, 2014 (Baylor College of Medicine/St Luke's Medical Center). The Neuroscience Center at the St Luke's Medical Center has committed funds to partially support this symposium. The overall goal of this interdisciplinary scientific symposium is to bring together scientists and physicians from diverse fields with a common interest in understanding and advancing the applications of outcomes research in neurocritical care. The symposium is unique in that it will provide a forum for presenting and discussing the latest advances in clinical trial design, research tools, and research priorities in the field of neurocritical care. The need for the design of adequate outcomes research studies in neurocritical care will also be addressed. This symposium will consist of an opening reception followed by 4 scientific sessions: 1) Special Lectures; 2) Assessment of Outcomes and Interventions; 3) Research Priorities and Outcomes Research in Neurocritical Care; and 4) Research Project Presentation and Discussions. In addition, discussions at the end of the sessions will be organized. We anticipate approximately 200 attendees. The Organizing/Scientific Committee will consist of members from the neurocritical care community but with various research interests that represent the integrated/educational concept of the conference. At the conclusion of the conference, participants should be able to: 1) understand the importance and opportunities for outcomes research in neurocritical care diseases; 2) discuss recent scientific advances related to the assessment of outcomes and interventions that will have an impact on neurocritical care research; 3) determine the future directions of outcomes research in neurocritical care; and 4) enhance collaborations via Neurocritical Care Research Network (NCRN) and other NINDS- funded research networks. All presentations will be video-taped and presented on "The Neurocritical Care Society" website for general public access (website has been established since 2003). Furthermore, invited speakers will be asked to submit manuscripts related to their topic for peer review and publication in "Neurocritical Care".
