DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting funds to support the 44th Annual Meeting of the American Aging Association to be held May 29th to June 1st at the Marriott Marina del Rey, Marina del Rey, California. In recent years, this meeting has grown to become one of the premier meetings for biogerontological research. The theme of the meeting is "Aging and Geroscience: New Approaches to Old Problems." Dr. James Nelson, President of AGE together with the AGE Program Committee (Drs. Buffenstein, Brown-Borg, Thompson and Ingram), Session Chairs and the AGE Executive Board organize the scientific program. The overall objective is to convene scientists and trainees from multiple disciplines in a forum for presentation and critical debate of the latest discoveries in aging research and to stimulate forward thinking and collaboration among participants. Funds are requested to help cover travel expenses of 1) invited speakers and 2) meritorious junior scientists (graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty) who can benefit from exposure to the leaders of the field, present their research findings and have the opportunity to contribute and get feedback from experts in the field. The specific goals of this meeting are a) to assemble a broad-based forum of basic and clinical scientists to present findings that utilize novel methods, uncover new mechanisms and have potential for development of therapeutics that may enhance quality and length of healthy life; b) to highlight important research areas not recently covered at meetings; c) to encourage open discussion and debate; and d) to emphasize integrative and translational research opportunities. The invited speakers include renowned scientists in aging and related disciplines selected for their science and ability to stimulate debate. A key goal is the inclusion of rising stars and scientists who are not regular speakers on the "aging conference circuit" to promote broader participation and to bring to the field fresh ideas, novel technologies and new approaches. Topics include 1) new findings questioning the coupling of healthspan and lifespan, 2) advances in "aging- gene" mapping strategies, 3) new metrics of frailty in animals, 4) provocative findings on sex differences in the response to anti-aging interventions, and 5) new discoveries on the neuroendocrine/cell non-autonomous modulation of aging. The effectiveness of this meeting in achieving its stated goals, particularly in broadening the range of speakers and topics, will be evaluated by participant survey and used to guide future meetings.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们要求资金支持将于5月29日至6月1日在加利福尼亚州Marina del Rey的万豪玛丽娜·雷伊（Marina del Rey）举行的美国老化协会第44届年度会议。近年来，这次会议已逐渐成为生物生态学研究的主要会议之一。会议的主题是“衰老和Geroscience：旧问题的新方法”。年龄总裁詹姆斯·尼尔森（James Nelson）与年龄计划委员会（Buffenstein博士，布朗 - 博格，汤普森和英格拉姆博士），会议主席和年龄执行委员会组织了科学计划。总体目的是在论坛中召集来自多个学科的科学家和学员，以介绍和批判性辩论，以探讨老化研究中最新发现的问题，并刺激参与者之间的前瞻性思维和协作。要求资金帮助支付1）受邀演讲者的旅行费用和2）有功的初级科学家（研究生，博士后研究员和初级教师），他们可以从接触该领域的领导者中受益，介绍他们的研究结果，并有机会为专家提供专家的反馈。这次会议的具体目标是a）组建一个基于基本和临床科学家的基于广泛的论坛，以提出利用新方法，发现新机制并具有开发治疗剂的潜力，以增强健康生活的质量和长度； b）突出会议上未涵盖的重要研究领域； c）鼓励公开讨论和辩论； d）强调综合和转化研究机会。受邀的演讲者包括著名的老龄化科学家和为了刺激辩论的能力而选择相关学科的科学家。关键目标是包容 在“老龄化会议赛事”上不是定期演讲者的后起之秀和科学家的讲话，以促进更广泛的参与，并为现场新的想法，新颖的技术和新方法带入现场。 Topics include 1) new findings questioning the coupling of healthspan and lifespan, 2) advances in "aging- gene" mapping strategies, 3) new metrics of frailty in animals, 4) provocative findings on sex differences in the response to anti-aging interventions, and 5) new discoveries on the neuroendocrine/cell non-autonomous modulation of aging.这次会议在实现其既定目标方面的有效性，尤其是在扩大演讲者和主题范围方面，将由参与者调查评估，并用于指导未来的会议。
