 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested from NIDDK for the 14th Symposium of the International Diabetes Epidemiology Group (IDEG) to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia December 5-6, 2015 followed by a one-day epidemiology training course on December 7. The IDEG was formed in 1979 to unite researchers and practitioners in diabetes epidemiology worldwide. Concerned with the consequences to population health related to the epidemic of diabetes in the developed world and a similar rise in the developing world, the IDEG mission is to forge international collaborations and effectively exchange data and ideas on the epidemiology of all types of diabetes and its complications. The IDEG is the only regularly occurring international meeting devoted to the subject of diabetes epidemiology. It will be held as an official satellite meeting o the World Diabetes Congress sponsored by the International Diabetes Federation that will take place in Vancouver November 30 to December 4, 2015. The IDEG Symposium will address key issues in understanding the epidemiology of diabetes. It will cover descriptive and analytic approaches that aim to elucidate both the burden and etiologies of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The IDEG symposium targets an audience of health care researchers, investigators, educators, and students/trainees working on the problem of diabetes mellitus from the fields of clinical care, public health, prevention, epidemiology and genetics. The IDEG symposium presents a unique opportunity to bring together this audience from around the world, and given that the meeting is to be held in Canada, especially the U.S. and Canada. The unique aspect of the meeting is the opportunity for attendees at all career levels from across the globe to interact closely due to the small meeting size, discussion sessions, and social activities. It is in the opinion of many the premier event in which to become familiar with the worldwide diabetes epidemiology community on a professional and personal level, thereby fostering important and productive exchange of ideas and future collaborations. The IDEG emphasizes attendance by students, trainees, post-docs, and junior faculty by providing travel support to attend the Symposium and the one-day training course. This R13 application requests support to continue to enable IDEG to offer this support to nurture tomorrow's diabetes epidemiologists. The IDEG is a voluntary organization with no standing budget or staff. Multiple sources of support are sought to achieve its mission. The support requested from NIDDK will provide partial support for the travel of 15 trainees to attend this Symposium. Other sources of support are being sought to enable additional trainees to attend the IDEG. Expected attendance at the IDEG will range from 200-250 participants, with 50 expected to attend the training course. The IDEG has enjoyed a high participation by women and minorities and will continue to emphasize their participation in 2015 in Vancouver. The Symposium and training course have been planned by an international committee of prominent diabetes clinicians and investigators led by Prof Ronald Ma, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

 描述（由申请人提供）： 请NIDDK支持将于2015年12月5日至6日在不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行的国际糖尿病流行病学小组（IDEG）第14届研讨会，随后于12月7日举办为期一天的流行病学培训课程。IDEG成立于1979年，旨在联合全球糖尿病流行病学的研究人员和从业人员。由于关注发达国家糖尿病流行病对人口健康的影响以及发展中国家糖尿病的类似上升，IDEG的使命是建立国际合作，有效地交流关于所有类型糖尿病及其并发症流行病学的数据和想法。IDEG是唯一定期举行的专门讨论糖尿病流行病学主题的国际会议。它将作为由国际糖尿病联合会主办的世界糖尿病大会的官方卫星会议举行，该会议将于2015年11月30日至12月4日在温哥华举行。IDEG研讨会将讨论了解糖尿病流行病学的关键问题。它将涵盖旨在阐明1型和2型糖尿病的负担和病因的描述性和分析性方法。IDEG研讨会的目标受众是来自临床护理领域的医疗保健研究人员、调查人员、教育工作者和从事糖尿病问题研究的学生/学员， 公共卫生、预防、流行病学和遗传学。IDEG研讨会提供了一个独特的机会，汇集了来自世界各地的观众，并考虑到会议将在加拿大举行，特别是美国和加拿大。会议的独特之处在于，来自地球仪各个职业层次的与会者有机会密切互动， 小型会议、讨论会和社交活动。许多人认为，这是在专业和个人层面熟悉全球糖尿病流行病学界的首要活动，从而促进重要且富有成效的思想交流和未来合作。IDEG强调学生，学员，博士后和初级教师的出席，提供旅行支持参加研讨会和为期一天的培训课程。这个R13应用程序请求支持，以继续使IDEG能够提供这种支持，以培养未来的糖尿病流行病学家。IDEG是一个自愿组织，没有常设预算或工作人员。为完成其使命，寻求多种支助来源。荷兰工业发展研究所要求提供的支助将为15名受训人员参加这次专题讨论会的旅费提供部分支助。目前正在寻求其他支助来源，以使更多的受训人员能够参加国际教育和培训小组。预计参加IDEG的人数将在200至250人之间，预计有50人参加培训课程。妇女和少数民族对IDEG的参与率很高，2015年在温哥华将继续强调妇女和少数民族的参与。是次研讨会及培训课程由香港中文大学罗纳德马教授领导的国际糖尿病临床医生及研究人员委员会策划。
