US Association for the Study of Pain Annual Scientific Meeting

疼痛仍然是一个重要的卫生保健问题，因为它的流行，其影响， 那些谁遭受，和缺乏一贯有效的治疗选择缺乏 有害的后果。这些问题只会随着美国的老龄化而加剧 60岁以上人群疼痛发生率增加。任何进展 要解决这个日益严重的问题，需要基础科学家的共同努力， 努力了解疼痛机制，以帮助医疗保健提供者努力管理疼痛， 用有限的工具和资源帮助病人。它不仅需要那些 已经在努力解决这个问题，但从后来的几代疼痛科学家， 好.美国疼痛研究协会（USASP）就是为了解决这些问题而成立的 并继续开发这样做的方法。我们推动疼痛科学发展的解决方案之一是 组织的年度科学会议，以促进传播疼痛的最新进展 科学和这些进步的多学科讨论，以及职业生涯 疼痛科学家和医疗保健提供者的发展和指导，重点是早期 职业学者为了最大限度地提高我们实现这些目标的能力，USASP和科学界 会议围绕多样性、公平和包容的原则组织，所有感兴趣的人都可以参加。 解决疼痛的复杂问题，欢迎参加。本申请 寻求为学员参加2023年USASP年度科学会议提供支持， 将在北卡罗来纳州达勒姆的杜克大学校园内举行。符合更广泛的目标， 本提案的具体目标是：1）提供一个 国家论坛的与会者讨论疼痛研究结果，塑造了 2）促进研究人员之间的跨学科对话和合作 代表多个疼痛科学学科，制定创新的转化策略， 解决当前疼痛研究的挑战，3）加强疼痛之间的沟通 科学利益相关者（研究人员、政策制定者、临床医生和患者）以及初级和 高级研究人员提供指导，并在不同的疼痛科学之间建立桥梁 社区.由于在职业生涯早期建立的联系在长期内会带来回报， 寻求支持60名受训人员参加这次会议，建立一个基础， 最终导致未来安全有效的疼痛管理。

Pain continues to be a significant health care problem because of its prevalence, its impact on those who suffer, and the absence of consistently effective therapeutic options devoid of deleterious consequences. These issues will only be compounded with the aging of the US population and the increased incidence of pain in those over 60 years old. Any progress in addressing this growing problem will take a concerted effort from the basic scientists diligently working to understand pain mechanisms to the health care providers struggling to manage pain in their patients with limited tools and resources. It not only takes a sustained effort from those already working to address this problem, but from subsequent generations of pain scientists as well. The US Association for the Study of Pain (USASP) was formed to address these issues and continues to develop ways of doing so. One of our solutions to push pain science forward is an annual scientific meeting organized to facilitate the dissemination of the last advances in pain science and the multidisciplinary discussion of these advances, as well as the career development and mentoring of pain scientists and health care providers with a focus on early career scholars. To maximize our ability to achieve these goals, the USASP and the scientific meeting are organized around principles of diversity, equity and inclusion, where all interested in addressing the complex problem of pain are welcomed to participate. The present application seeks to secure support for trainees to attend the USASP annual scientific meeting in 2023, to be held in Durham, NC, on the campus of Duke University. Consistent with the broader goals of the USASP for the scientific meeting, the Specific Aims of this proposal are to 1) Provide a national forum for conference attendees to discuss pain research findings that shape the direction of the field, 2) Foster interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration between researchers representing multiple pain science disciplines in to develop innovative translational strategies to address current challenges in pain research, and 3) Enhance communication between pain science stakeholders (researchers, policy makers, clinicians, and patients) and both junior and senior researchers to provide mentoring and build bridges between different pain science communities. As the connections made early in a career pay dividends over the long term, we seek support for 60 trainees to participate in this conference, building a foundation that will ultimately lead to safe and effective pain management in the future.
