DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Focused Ultrasound Foundation (FUSF) is a nonprofit organization created to accelerate the development and adoption of focused ultrasound-an innovative, noninvasive therapeutic technology. Developed to its full potential, focused ultrasound could revolutionize treatments for many of today's most serious and debilitating conditions, ranging from benign and cancerous tumors to neurological conditions such as essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and stroke. The FUSF funds research, hosts workshops and symposia, leads advocacy and patient support initiatives, creates Centers of Excellence, and serves as the nexus of a worldwide collaborative research community. Our diverse and multidisciplinary community includes researchers, clinicians, government officials and device manufacturers. An event that has become essential to our work is the International Symposium on Focused Ultrasound. Attended by leading researchers and key opinion leaders, this biennial conference provides a unique opportunity for participants to learn about leading edge research and recent developments, form and expand collaborative endeavors, and chart future initiatives. FUSF's symposia are recognized as the most comprehensive, energizing and well-attended meetings in the field of focused ultrasound. Scheduled for October 12-16, 2014 in Bethesda, Maryland, our fourth international symposium will encompass all types of image guided focused ultrasound treatments. The agenda has been expanded to three and a half days and will include plenary sessions, panel discussions, poster presentations and technical exhibits. FUSF plans to offer Young Investigator travel grants to fifteen early career scientists-graduate students, research fellows, clinical fellows and junior faculty from around the world-enabling them to attend our 2014 symposium. In addition to honored status and special recognition, grant recipients will present their focused ultrasound research and interact with senior investigators and respected thought-leaders. Successfully introduced at our 2010 symposium, FUSF's Young Investigators Award Program has become a coveted career development opportunity. Through this application, the Foundation proposes the use of NIH funding to support our travel grant initiatives in 2014. Total scientific meeting support of $19,00 is requested. These funds will be used to cover registration and up to $1,500 in travel and lodging expenses for up to fifteen Young Investigators as well as administrative overhead for executing the program.

描述（由申请人提供）：专注的超声基金会（FUSF）是一个非营利组织，旨在加速和采用专注的超声波超声 - 一种创新的无创治疗技术。专注于充分潜力的超声可以彻底改变当今许多最严重和令人衰弱的疾病，从良性和癌性肿瘤到神经系统疾病，例如必需震颤，帕金森氏病，癫痫和中风。 FUSF资金研究，举办研讨会和研讨会，领导倡导和患者支持计划，创建卓越中心，并成为全球合作研究社区的联系。我们多样化和多学科的社区包括研究人员，临床医生，政府官员和设备制造商。一项对我们工作至关重要的活动是针对集中超声的国际研讨会。这次两年一次的会议在领先的研究人员和关键意见领导者的参加会议上为参与者提供了一个独特的机会，可以了解领先的研究和最新发展，形成和扩大协作努力，并列出未来的计划。 FUSF的研讨会被认为是专注超声波领域中最全面，充满活力和受人尊敬的会议。定于2014年10月12日至16日在马里兰州贝塞斯达举行，我们的第四次国际研讨会将涵盖所有类型的图像指导性超声处理。议程已扩展到三天半，将包括全体会议，小组讨论，海报演示和技术展览。 FUSF计划向年轻的研究者提供旅行赠款，以提供15名早期职业科学家，研究人员，临床研究员和来自世界各地的初级教职员工，并能够参加我们的2014年研讨会。除了获得尊敬的地位和特殊认可外，Grant接受者还将展示其专注的超声研究，并与高级研究人员和受人尊敬的思想领袖互动。 FUSF的年轻调查人员奖计划成功地在我们的2010年研讨会上推出了一个令人垂涎的职业发展机会。通过此申请，基金会建议使用NIH资金在2014年支持我们的旅行赠款计划。要求提供19,00美元的科学会议支持。这些资金将用于涵盖注册，最高1,500美元的旅行和住宿费用，用于15名年轻调查人员以及执行该计划的行政开销。
