 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The current application is for support for the 47th annual ASN meeting to be held in Denver, Colorado, from March 19-23, 2016. NIH funding for previous ASN meetings has been invaluable for supporting our scientific programs and for enhancing our ability to involve graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. To accommodate the breadth of neurochemistry as well as cellular and molecular neurobiology and to provide in depth analyses of particular topics, the ASN continues to build its scientific program around four interwoven, but distinct, themes. These themes have been selected to increase our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of neural development and disease. These four themes are: 1) Building the Nervous System/Neurodevelopment, 2) Cellular Metabolism and Neurotransmission/Cognition, 3) Glial Function in Health and Disease, and 4) Neurodegeneration. Four Plenary/Presidential speakers have accepted our invitation to participate in the 47th ASN meeting, each one addressing one of the four themes. The ASN is strongly committed to the representation of women and racial/ethnic minorities at its meetings. In this regard, two of the four Plenary/Presidential speakers are female, 33% of the Plenary Session Speakers and 43% of the Chairs/Co-Chairs of Symposia and Colloquia are female, and 6% of the Chairs/Co-Chairs/Plenary Session Speakers are from racial/ethnic minorities. The ASN meeting provides numerous opportunities for delegates to exchange ideas and to form new collaborations because total attendance is approximately 500, and there are numerous opportunities incorporated in our program for delegates to congregate informally. The Society also has several mechanisms to enhance the professional development of junior investigators during the meeting. We organize meetings with the Plenary/Presidential speakers, which gives attendees a chance to discuss topics directly with the speakers. The fees for these meetings are reduced for students and postdoctoral fellows. There is a social mingle, including an educational component, exclusively for students and postdoctoral fellows, which is repeatedly recognized as an outstanding opportunity to network. There is a function entitled "Women in Neurochemistry" that is open to all attendees, and junior investigators have reduced fees. There are Oral Sessions, which are selected from abstracts submitted, with an emphasis on choosing presentations from graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. There are travel awards for outstanding graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior researchers from Latin America to defray their costs of attendance. We host a job-posting site and students can meet with potential future mentors or colleagues during the meeting. In 2010, we added a half-day program for visiting high-school students to engage these future scientists during their formative years. From results of yearly exit surveys, we know that the annual ASN meeting has and will continue to provide an excellent venue for cutting edge neurochemistry and neurobiology, and for enhancing the careers of young investigators.

 描述（由申请人提供）：当前的申请是为了支持将于 2016 年 3 月 19 日至 23 日在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的第 47 届 ASN 年度会议。NIH 为之前的 ASN 会议提供的资金对于支持我们的科学项目以及增强我们吸引研究生和博士后研究人员参与的能力来说是非常宝贵的。为了适应神经化学以及细胞和分子神经生物学的广度，并提供对特定主题的深入分析，ASN 继续围绕四个相互交织但又截然不同的主题构建其科学计划。选择这些主题是为了增加我们对神经发育和疾病的细胞和分子基础的理解。这四个主题是：1) 构建神经系统/神经发育，2) 细胞代谢和神经传递/认知，3) 健康和疾病中的神经胶质功能，以及 4) 神经退行性变。四位全体会议/主席发言人已接受我们的邀请参加第 47 届 ASN 会议，每一位都讨论了四个主题之一。 ASN 坚定地致力于在其会议中保留妇女和少数种族/族裔的代表权。在这方面，四名全体会议/主席发言人中有两名是女性，33%的全体会议发言人和43%的研讨会和座谈会主席/联合主席是女性，6%的主席/联合主席/全体会议发言人来自少数种族/族裔。 ASN 会议为代表们提供了大量交流想法和形成新合作的机会，因为总出席人数约为 500 人，并且我们的计划中包含了许多让代表们非正式聚会的机会。协会还有多种机制在会议期间促进初级研究者的专业发展。我们组织与全体会议/主席发言人的会议，使与会者有机会直接与发言人讨论主题。学生和博士后研究员的这些会议费用有所降低。这里有专门为学生和博士后研究员提供的社交活动，包括教育部分，这被多次认为是建立人际网络的绝佳机会。有一个题为“神经化学中的女性”的活动向所有与会者开放，初级研究人员的费用有所降低。有口头会议，从提交的摘要中选出，重点是选择研究生和博士后的演讲。来自拉丁美洲的优秀研究生、博士后研究员和初级研究人员可以获得旅行奖励，以支付他们的出勤费用。我们主办了一个职位发布网站，学生可以在会议期间与未来潜在的导师或同事会面。 2010 年，我们增加了一个为期半天的访问高中生项目，以吸引这些未来科学家在他们的成长过程中的参与。从年度退出调查的结果来看，我们知道年度 ASN 会议已经并将继续为尖端神经化学和神经生物学以及提升年轻研究人员的职业生涯提供一个绝佳的场所。
