PROJECT SUMMARY This proposal requests support for the Biology of Aging (BA) program at the 2017 World Congress of the International Association for Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG 2017), organized by the Biological Section (BS) of the Gerontological Society of America on behalf of IAGG. We believe that the best work in the field of gerontology at large will emerge when basic biological researchers exchange information about health-related human aging issues with medical researchers and practitioners, psychologists and sociologists. This is in particular true in light of translational geroscience, where new knowledge of basic mechanisms of aging is used to intervene at the foundation of processes that underlie both aging and the age-related diseases, and thereby improve human healthspan. In that regard, The IAGG 2017 BA program will provide an outstanding forum to communicate recent, fundamental advances in the biology of aging to biologists and non-biologists alike, and to promote the translation of these findings into therapeutic interventions and other applications that promote the healthy human life span. We aim to: (i) Provide outstanding scientific programming using a single-track, non-overlapping series of symposia featuring cutting-edge research on the biology of aging from participating countries. (ii) Incorporate the best research with translational potential, including that championed by the Geroscience initiative, and promote interdisciplinary interaction and communication between biological and health-related disciplines in gerontology within the IAGG framework, using the existing GSA areas of strength. (iii) Provide career development and leadership building opportunities for junior investigators of diverse backgrounds by recruiting, mentoring and training an international cadre of junior scientists that conduct emerging research with high standards

项目摘要 该提案要求支持2017年世界生物学大会上的衰老生物学（BA）计划 国际老年学和老年医学协会大会（IAGG 2017），由 美国老年学会生物学分会（BS）代表IAGG。我们认为 当基础生物学研究人员交流时， 与医学研究人员和从业人员有关健康相关的人类衰老问题的信息， 心理学家和社会学家。这是特别真实的光转化老年科学，其中新的 衰老的基本机制的知识被用来干预过程的基础， 是衰老和与年龄有关的疾病的基础，从而改善人类健康。 在这方面，IAGG 2017 BA计划将提供一个优秀的论坛， 最近，生物学家和非生物学家在衰老生物学方面的基本进展， 促进将这些发现转化为治疗干预和其他应用， 促进人类健康寿命。我们的目标是： (i)使用单轨、非重叠系列提供出色的科学节目 的专题讨论会，包括对衰老生物学的前沿研究， 国家 (ii)整合具有转化潜力的最佳研究，包括 通过老年科学倡议，促进跨学科的互动和交流 在IAGG框架内，老年学中的生物学和健康相关学科之间， 利用GSA现有的优势领域 (iii)为初级员工提供职业发展和领导力培养的机会 通过招聘、指导和培训国际调查员， 以高标准进行新兴研究的年轻科学家骨干
