 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（由应用程序提供）：当前申请是为了支持2016年3月19日至23日在科罗拉多州丹佛举行的第47届年度ASN会议。为了适应神经化学的广度以及细胞和分子神经生物学，并对特定主题进行深入分析，ASN继续围绕四个交织但不同的主题构建其科学计划。这些主题已被选为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）建立神经系统/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）神经变性。四位全体会议/总统发言人接受了我们参加第47届ASN会议的邀请，每个会议都涉及四个主题之一。在会议上，ASN强烈致力于代表妇女和种族/族裔少数民族。在这方面，四个全体/总统演讲者中有两个是女性，其中33％的全体会议演讲者和43％的座席座椅和座席主席是女性，椅子/共同主席/全体会议的演讲者中有6％来自赛车/族裔少数。 ASN会议为代表们提供了许多机会交流想法并进行新的合作机会，因为总出勤率约为500，并且在我们的计划中为代表们提供了许多机会，可以非正式聚集。该协会在会议期间还具有多种提高初级调查人员的专业发展的机制。我们组织了与全体/总统演讲者的会议，这使与会者有机会直接与演讲者讨论主题。这些会议的费用减少了，学生和博士后研究员。有一个社交交流，包括一个专门针对学生和博士后研究员的教育组成部分，这被一再被认为是网络网络的绝佳机会。有一个题为“神经化学女性”的功能向所有与会者开放，而初级调查人员的费用减少了。从提交的摘要中选择了口头课程，重点是从研究生和博士后研究员中选择演讲。有杰出研究生，博士后研究员和拉丁美洲的初级研究人员的旅行奖，以支付出勤成本。我们主持了一个工作机会，学生可以在会议期间与潜在的未来导师或同事见面。在2010年，我们添加了一个为期半天的课程，供访问高中生在成长的年份与这些未来的科学家互动。从年度退出调查的结果来看，我们知道，年度ASN会议已经并且将继续为尖端神经化学和神经生物学提供优秀的场所，并为增强年轻调查人员的职业增强。
