AANP Scholars' Workshop on Neurodegenerative Disease Neuropathology Research

项目总结/摘要 此R13补助金申请是为了支持会前职业发展研讨会将举行之前， 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。这一目标的关键是保持，发展和支持神经病理学学员，以填补 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。首届AANP学者 工作坊于2020年6月举行，在指导神经病理学学员方面取得了显著的成功 走向神经病理学学术生涯这个R13赠款将资助AANP学者计划，这是一个 为一批75名神经病理学受训人员举办职业发展和科学会前讲习班， 年研讨会的主题将每隔一年轮流在“期望和障碍，以学术 神经病理学职业”和“导航学术神经病理学：职位和赠款”。本次研讨会将 通过抵消旅行，吸引最有前途的神经病理学学员从事ADRD职业， 注册费用。此R13补助金还将支持学员参加年度AANP会议的差旅奖励 重点是支持妇女和代表性不足的少数群体。这次会议的长期影响将 保持一个健康的神经病理学学员管道，致力于ADRD研究，以支持 国家计划，预防和治疗ADRD。

Project Summary/Abstract This R13 grant application is to support a pre-meeting career development 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. The first AANP Scholars’ Workshop was held in June 2020 and has been remarkably successful in guiding neuropathology trainees towards an academic neuropathology career. This R13 grant will fund the AANP Scholar’s Program which is a career development and scientific pre-meeting workshop for a cohort of 75 neuropathology trainees over five years. Workshop themes will alternate every other year between “Expectations and Barriers to an Academic Neuropathology Career” and “Navigating Academic Neuropathology: Positions & Grants.” This workshop will attract the most promising neuropathology trainees towards a career focused on ADRD by offsetting travel and registration costs. This R13 grant will also support trainee travels awards to attend the Annual AANP Meeting with a focus on supporting women and underrepresented minorities. 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.
