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）：我们正在申请资金，以支持将于 5 月 29 日至 6 月 1 日在加利福尼亚州玛丽安德尔湾万豪玛丽安德尔湾酒店举行的美国老龄化协会第 44 届年会。近年来，该会议已发展成为生物老年学研究的主要会议之一。会议的主题是“老龄化与老年科学：老问题的新方法”。 AGE 主席 James Nelson 博士与 AGE 计划委员会（Buffenstein、Brown-Borg、Thompson 和 Ingram 博士）、会议主席和 AGE 执行委员会一起组织科学计划。总体目标是召集来自多个学科的科学家和学员参加一个论坛，对衰老研究的最新发现进行展示和批判性辩论，并激发参与者之间的前瞻性思维和合作。申请资金用于支付 1) 受邀演讲者和 2) 杰出青年科学家（研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师）的旅费，他们可以受益于接触该领域的领导者、展示他们的研究成果，并有机会做出贡献并获得该领域专家的反馈。本次会议的具体目标是：a) 组建一个由基础和临床科学家组成的基础广泛的论坛，展示利用新方法、发现新机制并具有开发可提高健康生活质量和长度的治疗方法的潜力的发现； b) 强调会议最近未涉及的重要研究领域； c) 鼓励公开讨论和辩论； d) 强调综合性和转化性研究机会。受邀演讲者包括老龄化及相关学科领域的知名科学家，他们因其科学性和激发辩论的能力而被选中。一个关键目标是包容 由不常在“老龄化会议巡回赛”上发言的后起之秀和科学家组成，以促进更广泛的参与，并为该领域带来新的想法、新技术和新方法。主题包括 1) 质疑健康寿命和寿命之间关系的新发现，2) “衰老基因”绘图策略的进展，3) 动物虚弱的新指标，4) 抗衰老干预措施反应中性别差异的令人兴奋的发现，以及 5) 关于衰老的神经内分泌/细胞非自主调节的新发现。本次会议在实现既定目标方面的有效性，特别是在扩大发言者和主题范围方面的有效性，将通过与会者调查进行评估，并用于指导未来的会议。
