DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 application seeks funding to support the registration and workshop for students and postdoctoral fellows for the 23rd anniversary meeting of the American Society for Neural Therapy and Repair (ASNTR) to be held April 28 - 30th, 2016. Since its inception in 1994, the ASNTR has convened every year in April/May in Clearwater, Florida, with an attendance of approximately 200 participants. This society has a strong tradition of translational research in the fields of cell transplantation and neuro/tissue engineering, as well as gene therapy as applied to neurological diseases (e.g. Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and Alzheimer's disease, stroke, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury). The focus of the meeting is generally to advance novel treatment strategies in neural repair. Clinical trials are often presented based on basic science research reported at previous meetings. Thus, students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as other attendees not only learn about the "bench science", but they actively participated in discussions with clinicians about translational issues. This interaction fosters the translation from the bench to the bedside and is a unique feature of ASNTR's annual meeting. Each year the ASNTR Education and Training Committee encourages students/postdoctoral fellows to submit their abstracts in a competition that scores their abstracts and ranks them according to creativity of the scientific approach, thoroughness of outcome measures, quality of writing as well as the potential impact on the field. The top rated applicants receive awards to cover their registration costs and partially cover the cost of their meeting attendance. ASNTR has always placed a high priority on funding these awards for students and post-doctoral fellows. Consistently, we have been able to attract support also from biotechnology companies and non-profit organizations to cover a small number of these awards, however, in recent years ASNTR has seen these contributions dwindle and although we will continue to seek funding from the private sector, we do not anticipate any increase in contributions above recent levels in the coming years. This application requests $24,000 in total direct costs to support the trainee awards for the top graduate students/postdoctoral fellows from US institutions that apply (awards of $1000 per student/postdoc). Additional money is requested to partially support the trainee workshop that is held the day prior to the meeting. The ASNTR and the Education and Training Committee include and encourage participation of women, minorities and persons with disabilities in all its activities.

描述(由申请人提供)：本R13申请旨在为2016年4月28日至30日举行的美国神经治疗与修复学会(ASNTR)23周年会议的学生和博士后研究员注册和研讨会提供资金。自1994年成立以来，ASNTR每年4月/5月在佛罗里达州克利尔沃特召开会议，约有200人参加。该学会在细胞移植和神经/组织工程领域以及应用于神经疾病(例如帕金森氏病、亨廷顿病、阿尔茨海默病、中风、脊髓损伤和创伤性脑损伤)的基因治疗方面有着深厚的传统。会议的重点通常是在神经修复方面提出新的治疗策略。临床试验通常是根据以前会议上报告的基础科学研究提出的。因此，学生和博士后研究员以及其他与会者不仅了解“板凳科学”，而且积极参与与临床医生就翻译问题的讨论。这种互动促进了从替补席到床边的转换，这是ASNTR年会的一个独特特点。ASNTR教育和培训委员会每年鼓励学生/博士后研究员在比赛中提交他们的摘要，对他们的摘要进行评分，并根据科学方法的创造性、结果衡量的彻底性、写作质量以及对该领域的潜在影响进行排名。评级最高的申请者将获得奖励，以支付他们的注册费用和部分会议费用。ASNTR一直高度重视为学生和博士后研究员提供这些奖项的资金。我们一直能够吸引生物技术公司和非营利组织的支持，以资助其中的一小部分奖项，然而，ASNTR近年来看到这些捐款有所减少，尽管我们将继续从私营部门寻求资金，但我们预计未来几年的捐款不会超过最近的水平。本申请申请的直接费用总额为24,000美元，用于支持美国申请机构为顶尖研究生/博士后研究员颁发的实习生奖项(每个学生/博士后奖励为1000美元)。请求追加经费，以部分支助在会议前一天举行的实习生讲习班。ASNTR和教育和培训委员会纳入并鼓励妇女、少数群体和残疾人参与其所有活动。
