PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This is application for support of the 49th annual ASN meeting to be held in Riverside, California from March 24-28, 2018. Previous NIH funding has been invaluable for supporting our scientific programs and for enhancing our ability to involve graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and underrepresented groups. To accommodate the breadth of neurochemistry and to provide in-depth analyses of particular topics, the ASN continues to build its scientific program around four interwoven, but distinct, themes. These themes have been selected to increase our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of neural development and disease. These four themes are: 1) Building the Nervous System/Neurodevelopment, 2) Cellular Metabolism and Neurotransmission/Cognition, 3) Glial Function in Health and Disease, and 4) Neurodegeneration; each theme has one of the four Plenary/Presidential speakers. The ASN is strongly committed to the representation of women and racial/ethnic minorities at its meetings. One of the four Plenary/Presidential speakers is female, 40% of the Chairs/Co-Chairs of Symposia and Colloquia are female, and 9% of the Chairs/Co-Chairs are from racial/ethnic minorities; 43% of the Speakers of Symposia and Colloquia are female, while 7% are from racial/ethnic minorities. The ASN strongly supports young investigators in their development; 11% of the Chairs/Co-Chairs of Symposia and Colloquia and 5% of the Session Speakers are at the pre-faculty, i.e. post- doctoral/graduate student levels. The ASN meeting provides numerous opportunities for participants to exchange ideas and to form new collaborations because total expected attendance is ~ 300, and there are numerous opportunities incorporated in our program for participants to congregate informally. The Society also has several mechanisms to enhance the professional development of junior investigators during the meeting. We organize meetings with the Plenary/Presidential speakers, which gives attendees a chance to discuss topics directly with the speakers. The fees for these meetings are reduced for students and postdoctoral fellows. There is a mingle that included an educational/mentoring component, exclusively for students and postdoctoral fellows. This event has been repeatedly recognized as an outstanding opportunity to network. There is a function entitled “Women in Neurochemistry” that is open to all attendees, and junior investigators have reduced fees. There are Oral Sessions, which are selected from abstracts submitted, with an emphasis on choosing presentations from graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. There are travel awards for outstanding graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior researchers to defray their costs of attendance. We host a job-posting site and students can meet with potential future mentors or colleagues during the meeting. In 2010, we added a program for visiting high-school students to engage these future scientists. From results of yearly exit surveys, we know that the annual ASN meeting will continue to provide an excellent venue for cutting edge neurochemistry and neurobiology, and for enhancing the careers of young investigators.

项目总结/摘要 这是申请支持第49届年会将于3月在加州的滨江举行 2018年24-28日。以前的NIH资助对于支持我们的科学计划和 提高我们让研究生、博士后研究人员和代表性不足的群体参与进来的能力。到 适应神经化学的广度，并提供特定主题的深入分析， 继续围绕四个相互交织但又截然不同的主题建立其科学计划。这些主题一直是 选择增加我们对神经发育和疾病的细胞和分子基础的理解。 这四个主题是：1）建立神经系统/神经发育，2）细胞代谢和 神经传递/认知，3）健康和疾病中的神经胶质功能，以及4）神经退行性疾病;每个主题 有四个全体会议/主席发言人之一。联合国坚决致力于代表 妇女和少数种族/族裔问题。四位全体会议/主席发言人中有一位是女性， 专题讨论会和座谈会的主席/共同主席中有40%是女性，9%的主席/共同主席来自 少数种族/族裔; 43%的专题讨论会和学术讨论会发言人是女性，7%来自 种族/少数民族。研究所大力支持年轻研究人员的发展; 11%的研究人员 研讨会和学术讨论会的主席/联合主席和5%的会议发言人是在预科，即后 博士/研究生水平。 研讨会为与会者提供了许多交流思想和形成新的 合作，因为总预期出席人数约为300人，并有许多机会纳入 在我们的计划中，参与者可以非正式地聚集在一起。该协会还设立了若干机制， 会议期间，初级调查员的专业发展。我们组织会议， 全体会议/主席发言人，让与会者有机会直接与发言人讨论主题。 这些会议的费用对学生和博士后研究员有所减少。有一个混合，其中包括 教育/指导部分，专门针对学生和博士后研究员。此事件被 这是一个反复被认为是建立关系网的绝佳机会。有一个题为“妇女参与 神经化学”，这是开放给所有与会者，和初级研究人员减少了费用。有口头 会议，从提交的摘要中选出，重点是从以下方面选择演讲： 研究生和博士后。优秀的研究生有旅行奖， 博士后研究员和初级研究人员支付他们的出席费用。我们托管一个招聘网站， 学生可以在会议期间与未来的导师或同事会面。在2010年，我们增加了一个 访问高中学生的计划，以吸引这些未来的科学家。根据每年的离职调查结果， 我们知道，每年的会议将继续提供一个很好的场所， 神经化学和神经生物学，以及提高年轻研究人员的职业生涯。
