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.

项目摘要/摘要 这是从3月开始在加利福尼亚河滨举行的第49届年度ASN会议的支持申请 2018年2月24日。先前的NIH资金对于支持我们的科学计划和 增强我们参与研究生，博士后研究人员和代表性不足的群体的能力。到 适应神经化学的广度并提供对特定主题的深入分析，ASN 继续围绕四个交织但独特的主题构建其科学计划。这些主题一直是 选择以增加我们对神经元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）神经变性；每个主题 有四位全体/总统演讲者之一。 ASN强烈致力于代表 妇女和种族/族裔少数群体在会议上。四位全体/总统演讲者之一是女性 40％的椅子/座席座椅椅子和座谈会是女性，而9％的椅子/椅子来自 种族/族裔少数民族； 43％的专题讨论会和座谈会的人是女性，而7％来自 种族/族裔少数民族。 ASN强烈支持年轻的研究人员的发展； 11％ 专题讨论会和座谈会的主席/共同主席以及5％的会议发言人在教师前，即 博士/研究生级别。 ASN会议为参与者提供了许多机会交流想法并形成新的机会 协作是因为总预期出勤率约为300，并且有很多机会合并 在我们的计划中供参与者非正式聚集。该社会还具有多种增强的机制 会议期间初级调查人员的专业发展。我们与 全体/总统演讲者，这使与会者有机会直接与演讲者讨论主题。 这些会议的费用减少了，学生和博士后研究员。有一个混合 专门针对学生和博士后研究员的教育/指导组成部分。这个事件已经 再次被公认为网络的绝佳机会。有一个题为“女性的功能 对所有与会者开放的神经化学”，初级调查人员的费用减少了。 会议是从提交的摘要中选择的，重点是从 研究生和博士后研究员。有杰出研究生的旅行奖， 博士后研究员和初级研究人员以支付出勤成本。我们主持了一个工作工作网站， 学生可以在会议期间与潜在的未来导师或同事见面。在2010年，我们添加了一个 访问高中生来吸引这些未来科学家的计划。根据年度退出调查的结果， 我们知道，年度ASN会议将继续为最前沿提供一个绝佳的场所 神经化学和神经生物学，以及增强年轻研究者的职业。
