Project Summary/Abstract: The mission of AGE is (i) to promote biomedical aging studies intended to increase the functional life span of humans (ii) To increase knowledge of biogerontology among relevant communities of research and practice and (iii) to inform, facilitate and engage the public regarding the progress and potential of aging research to deliver a long and healthy life. This mission is closely aligned to that of NIA; accordingly the society seeks financial support for our Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM). Our ASM is the primary means by which this mission is delivered. It is at once the only annual meeting in the USA exclusively focused on biogerontology and one of the longest standing and most prestigious aging meetings in the world. To facilitate attendance by the widest possible range of stakeholders, the location of AGE meetings is changed annually. Accordingly, recent meetings have taken place in Seattle (2016), Los Angeles, (2015), San Antonio (2014), Baltimore (2013) and Fort Worth (2012). The 2017 meeting is the first AGE has held in New York. The popularity of the destination, the presence of some of the world’s most highly ranked universities and the relative ease of travel were central to the selection of this city and are expected to draw high attendance, especially from Europe which will increase the reach and diversity of our meeting. Our 2017 meeting will address three major goals. Firstly, to deepen the knowledge of attendees by devoting sessions to key research fields under-represented at past AGE meetings (e.g. replicative senescence, inflammation and immune senescence). Secondly, to broaden the expertise available to the field by devoting sessions to new model systems (both human and non-human). Lastly, to build the “social capital of science” by helping researchers of all experience levels and from laboratories across the world form a cohesive and mutually supporting community. This is being delivered with a cross-cutting emphasis on (i) wherever possible inviting scientists who have made exceptional research contributions but are not “regulars on the conference circuit,” (ii) considering the translational aspects of the work within the context of each session, (iii) emphasizing participation by junior investigators and trainees and (iv) ensuring gender equality. Of the invited speakers more than half have never spoken or attended an AGE meeting before. AGE is a primary vehicle of career progression for young gerontologists. The New York meeting seeks to enhance this by hosting special networking and data blitz sessions for pre-doctoral students, allowing them to meet new collaborators and offering new pairings the opportunity to co-publish reviews in our journal Geroscience (formally AGE, current impact factor= 3.45).

项目摘要/摘要：AGE的使命是(I)促进生物医学老化研究，旨在增加 人类的功能寿命(二)增加有关社区的生物老年学知识 研究和实践；以及(Iii)告知、促进和参与公众关于以下方面的进展和潜力 老龄化研究提供长寿和健康的生活。这项任务与NIA的任务密切相关；因此， 学会为我们的年度科学会议(ASM)寻求资金支持。 我们的ASM是执行这项任务的主要手段。这是世界上唯一的年度会议。 美国专门关注生物老年学，这是历史最悠久、最负盛名的老龄会议之一 在世界上。为方便尽可能广泛的利益攸关方出席，老龄问题会议的地点 每年都会发生变化。因此，最近的会议在西雅图(2016)、洛杉矶(2015)、圣彼得堡 安东尼奥(2014)、巴尔的摩(2013)和沃斯堡(2012)。2017年的会议是第一次在纽约举行 约克市。目的地的受欢迎程度，一些世界上排名最高的大学的存在，以及 相对轻松的旅行是这座城市入选的核心，预计将吸引大量参观者。 特别是来自欧洲，这将增加我们会议的覆盖面和多样性。 我们2017年的会议将提出三大目标。第一，通过奉献来加深与会者的知识 关键研究领域的会议在过去的年龄会议上代表不足(例如，复制衰老， 炎症和免疫衰老)。第二，通过致力于扩大该领域现有的专门知识 会话到新的模型系统(包括人类和非人类)。最后，通过以下方式打造“科学的社会资本” 帮助来自世界各地不同经验水平和实验室的研究人员形成一个凝聚力强、相互促进的 支持社区。 这项工作的交付具有贯穿各领域的重点：(I)尽可能邀请已经取得进展的科学家 做出了杰出的研究贡献，但不是“会议巡回会议的常客”，(Ii)考虑到 每届会议范围内工作的翻译方面，(3)强调初级人员的参与 调查人员和受训人员；(4)确保两性平等。在被邀请的演讲者中，超过一半的人 以前从未说过或参加过年龄会议。 对于年轻的老年病学家来说，年龄是职业发展的主要载体。纽约会议寻求 通过为博士生预科学生举办特别的网络和数据闪电战会议来加强这一点，使他们能够 认识新的合作者，并为新的配对提供在我们的期刊上共同发表评论的机会 老年科学(正式年龄，当前影响因子=3.45)。
