DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Biomechanics (the effect of blood flow and pressure on tissue) plays a role in vascular biology and vascular disease. However, researchers working on different facets cardiovascular biomechanics have been operating independently of each other. Cross-fertilization of these groups has been limited. One exception has been a symposium entitled, Biomechanics, Vascular Biology, and Cardiovascular Disease, which has been held for the past 6 years in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The conference brings together researchers from various fields to bridge the gap between the fields of biomechanics, vascular biology and clinical research. Together with the original organizers of the meeting in Rotterdam, we have decided to bring the meeting to North America. The goal of bringing the meeting to the US will be to expand the international scope of the meeting, give US/North American participants (especially students and post-doctoral fellows) a better opportunity to be able to attend the meeting, and to bring together this cardiovascular biomechanics community at a single meeting within North America. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The purpose of the proposal is to create a funding mechanism that would allow students, trainees, and under-represented groups to attend the 7th Annual Symposium of Biomechanics and Vascular Biology in Cardiovascular Disease in Atlanta, Georgia, April 26 - 27, 2012.

描述（由申请人提供）：生物力学（血流和压力对组织的影响）在血管生物学和血管疾病中发挥着作用。然而，研究心血管生物力学不同方面的研究人员一直是相互独立运作的。这些群体的异体受精受到限制。一个例外是题为“生物力学、血管生物学和心血管疾病”的研讨会，该研讨会过去六年一直在荷兰鹿特丹举办。该会议汇集了来自各个领域的研究人员，以弥合生物力学、血管生物学和临床研究领域之间的差距。我们与鹿特丹会议的原始组织者一起决定将会议带到北美。将会议带到美国的目的是扩大会议的国际范围，为美国/北美参与者（特别是学生和博士后研究员）提供更好的机会参加会议，并将心血管生物力学界聚集在北美的一次会议上。 公共健康相关性：该提案的目的是建立一个资助机制，允许学生、受训人员和代表性不足的群体参加 2012 年 4 月 26 日至 27 日在佐治亚州亚特兰大举行的第七届心血管疾病生物力学和血管生物学研讨会。
