PROJECT SUMMARY This proposal requests funding from the National Institute on Aging for the Biological Sciences (BS) Section Program at the 2019 Austin, TX Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA). Our aim for BS programming is to highlight the highest-quality geroscience research with translational potential. We believe that the best work in the field will emerge when basic biological researchers exchange information about health-related human aging issues with medical researchers and practitioners, psychologists, sociologists, and public policy experts. In turn, improvements in clinical care and public health are likely to result when gerontologists from diverse disciplines better understand basic mechanisms of aging are exposed to the latest and best research with the promise of yielding interventions to ameliorate aging and age-related disease. We in the BS Section take very seriously our responsibility to expose our members, those of Biological Sciences and GSA at large, to well-communicated, cutting-edge science that ultimately serves to inform and improve the work of all who attend. The ASM is situated uniquely in the U.S. to promote an interdisciplinary effort of this scope, and the 2019 November meeting in Austin will provide an outstanding opportunity to expand the diversity of participating scientists. Since 2010, the BS Section has demonstrated quantifiable success in producing a scientific program of the highest possible quality and providing a forum to engender interaction and exchange of ideas among scientists from disparate fields. In November 2019, we propose to intensify and extend our efforts, through a single-track meeting program featuring emerging, translational concepts in the basic biology of aging; to promote discussion and networking among attendees across sections; to enact gender balance and diversity in the oral program; and to feature talented junior investigators prominently in Biological Sciences symposia. In Austin, we will begin with a pre-meeting, half-day workshop on “One Health for Healthy Aging: Companion Animals in Geroscience”, organized by Dr. Kate Creevy (Texas A&M) and Dr. Daniel Promislow (University of Washington). During the meeting, 15 (non-competing) oral sessions will be held. Many of these sessions were suggested by GSA members following an open call for proposals, thus opening up the topic and speaker selection process. In addition, one speaker in each session will be selected by committee from submitted abstracts, and preference for these slots will be given to junior faculty or trainee (post-doc, resident, graduate student, or undergraduate) speakers. There will also be two poster sessions scheduled so as not to compete with talks. As GSA will waive fees, the entire grant budget can be used to attract new, diverse, and especially young investigators to present their work at the meeting. We will encourage underrepresented scientists to apply for 8 minority scholar awards. Our program shows more than half of all speakers will be young investigators, more than half of the invited speakers are women, and nearly 20% are from underrepresented minority groups.

项目摘要 该提案要求国家老龄化研究所为生物科学（BS）部门提供资金 计划在2019年奥斯汀，德克萨斯州年度科学会议（ASM）的美国老年学会（GSA）。 我们的BS编程目标是突出具有转化潜力的最高质量的老年科学研究。 我们相信，当基础生物学研究人员交换信息时，该领域最好的工作就会出现 与医学研究人员和从业人员，心理学家，社会学家， 公共政策专家。反过来，如果能够实现以下目标，则可能会改善临床护理和公共卫生 来自不同学科的老年病学家更好地了解衰老的基本机制， 最好的研究，有希望产生干预措施，以改善衰老和与年龄有关的疾病。我们在 BS组非常认真地对待我们责任，暴露我们的成员，那些生物科学， 一般来说，GSA是沟通良好的尖端科学，最终有助于为工作提供信息和改进工作。 所有出席的人。ASM在美国是独一无二的，以促进这一范围的跨学科努力， 2019年11月在奥斯汀举行的会议将为扩大 参与的科学家自2010年以来，统计处在编制 最高质量的科学计划，并提供一个论坛，以产生互动和交流， 来自不同领域的科学家们的想法。2019年11月，我们提议加强和扩大我们的努力， 通过一个单一的轨道会议计划，具有新兴的，在老龄化的基础生物学的翻译概念; 促进各部门与会者之间的讨论和联网;制定性别平衡和多样性 在口头计划;并突出特色有才华的初级研究人员在生物科学研讨会。在 奥斯汀，我们将开始与会前，为期半天的研讨会上“一个健康的健康老龄化：伴侣 由Kate Creevy博士（德克萨斯A&M）和丹尼尔Promislow博士（德克萨斯大学）组织的”老年科学中的动物“研讨会。 华盛顿）。会议期间将举行15场（非竞争性）口头会议。其中许多会议是 GSA成员在公开征集提案后建议，从而开放了主题和发言人 选择过程。此外，每届会议的一名发言者将由委员会从提交的 摘要，这些职位将优先考虑初级教师或实习生（博士后、住院医师、研究生） 学生或本科生）发言人。也将有两个海报会议安排，以便不竞争 进行会谈。由于GSA将免除费用，整个赠款预算可用于吸引新的，多样化的，特别是 年轻的研究人员在会上介绍他们的工作。我们将鼓励代表性不足的科学家申请 获得8项少数民族奖学金。我们的节目显示，超过一半的演讲者将是年轻的研究人员， 受邀演讲者中有一半以上是妇女，近20%来自代表性不足的少数群体。
