摘要 这个R13补助金申请是为了支持会前教育研讨会将在会议之前举行， 美国神经病理学家协会（AANP）年会。国家计划解决 阿尔茨海默病呼吁预防和治疗阿尔茨海默病及相关痴呆症 （ADRD）到2025年。这一目标的关键是维护，发展和支持神经病理学学员填补 缺乏致力于ADRD和衰老研究的学术神经病理学家。为此，每年 AANP会议代表了神经病理学学员的国家协调中心。从2020年6月AANP开始 会议在蒙特雷，加利福尼亚州，这R13赠款将支持有针对性的职业发展和科学会前 为20名神经病理学受训人员举办的研讨会。一个为期三年的纵向计划，重点是（1） 对学术神经病理学职业生涯的期望和障碍，（2）资金和资助，以及（3） 建立一个成功的研究生涯的战略。这次研讨会将吸引最有前途的 通过抵消旅行和登记费用，神经病理学学员将致力于ADRD的职业生涯， 除了支持受训人员参与会议规划过程外， 代表性不足的少数族裔、妇女和残疾人的参与。长期影响 这次会议将保持一个健康的管道神经病理学学员致力于ADRD研究， 支持预防和治疗ADRD的国家计划。

Abstract This R13 grant application is to support a pre-meeting educational workshop to be held prior to the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Neuropathologists (AANP). The National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease calls for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) by 2025. Critical to this goal is maintaining, developing and supporting neuropathology trainees to fill the dearth of academic neuropathologists dedicated to ADRD and aging research. Towards this end, the annual AANP meeting represents a national focal point for neuropathology trainees. Starting at the June 2020 AANP meeting in Monterey, CA, this R13 grant will support a targeted career development and scientific pre-meeting workshop for a cohort of 20 neuropathology trainees. A three year longitudinal program, focusing on the (1) expectations and barriers to an academic neuropathology career, (2) funding and grantsmanship, and (3) strategies for building a successful research career. This workshop will attract the most promising neuropathology trainees towards a career focused on ADRD by offsetting travel and registration costs, in addition to supporting trainee involvement with the meeting planning process, and encouraging the participation of underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities. The long term impact of this meeting will be to maintain a healthy pipeline of neuropathology trainees dedicated to ADRD research in support of the national plan to prevent and treat ADRD.
