DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Women's Health Center of Wake Forest University Health Sciences began annual Graylyn Conferences on Women's Health for cutting-edge women's health research in 1995. Past conferences focused on the effects of estrogen on the pathogenesis and prevention of atherosclerosis and cognitive decline, and have successfully disseminated new research on estrogen, heart disease and cognition. This year, we are expanding our focus to include an entire day devoted to hormone therapy and cognition. Women's Cognitive Health will incorporate new issues in cognitive health, providing an overview of the risks and benefits of hormones and how they affect women's cognitive health. The conference will also examine the effects of diseases more prevalent in women and their treatments on cognitive functioning, explore advances in basic science of cognitive decline, and investigate advances in diagnostic criteria, and new preventions and treatments. The conference goal is to bring together leaders in the field to review current knowledge to guide efforts toward promising research avenues. Women's Cognitive Health will be held October 29-31, 2003 in Winston-Salem, NC. Meetings will be held in the handicapped-accessible Graylyn Conference Center, where 40 rooms have been reserved for out-of-town guests. Participants can fly into the Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, NC. An airport shuttle service will be provided for speakers and is available to participants for $39, round-trip. Registration is limited to 100 speakers and attendees to promote interaction. A poster session will highlight the most recent advances in methodology and research on cognitive decline and dementia, and awards will be given to the top student and junior faculty submissions to encourage work by new investigators. Goals and Objectives: 1. Widen pool of knowledge from which to draw solutions by convening a small group who has knowledge particular of topic at hand. 2. Provide opportunities for researchers to present most recent data without compromising future publications. 3. Foster collaboration. 4. Encourage creativity in developing research strategies. 5. Provide opportunities for students and junior faculty to participate in the process. 6. Facilitate development of novel approaches to disease prevention, progression and treatment, which can be tested.

描述（由申请人提供）：维克森林大学健康科学的妇女健康中心于1995年开始举办关于妇女健康的年度格雷林会议，以进行尖端的妇女健康研究。过去的会议集中在雌激素对动脉粥样硬化和认知能力下降的发病机制和预防的影响，并成功地传播了关于雌激素，心脏病和认知能力的新研究。今年，我们正在扩大我们的关注点，将一整天的时间专门用于激素治疗和认知。妇女的认知健康将纳入认知健康的新问题，概述激素的风险和益处以及它们如何影响妇女的认知健康。会议还将研究女性中更常见的疾病及其治疗对认知功能的影响，探索认知衰退基础科学的进展，并调查诊断标准的进展以及新的预防和治疗方法。会议的目标是汇集该领域的领导者，审查当前的知识，以指导有前途的研究途径的努力。妇女认知健康将于2003年10月29日至31日在北卡罗来纳州温斯顿-塞勒姆举行。会议将在无障碍的Graylyn会议中心举行，那里有40个房间为外地客人保留。参加者可以飞往北卡罗来纳州格林斯伯勒的皮埃蒙特三合会国际机场。将为发言者提供机场班车服务，与会者往返票价为39美元。报名人数限制为100名演讲者和与会者，以促进互动。一个海报会议将突出在方法和认知衰退和痴呆症的研究的最新进展，并奖励将给予最优秀的学生和初级教师提交，以鼓励新的研究人员的工作。 目的和目标： 1.通过召集一个对当前主题有专门知识的小组，扩大知识库，从中得出解决方案。 2.为研究人员提供展示最新数据的机会，而不影响未来的出版物。 3.促进合作。 4.在制定研究策略时鼓励创造性。 5.为学生和初级教师提供参与这一过程的机会。 6.促进疾病预防、进展和治疗的新方法的开发，这些方法可以进行测试。
