11th Hershey Developmental Brain Injury Conference

项目总结/摘要 好时发育性脑损伤会议始于1997年，现已发展成为一个受欢迎的， 出席人数众多，但规模仍然很小，国际会议的医生，科学家和基础科学家， 学员人数。2018年第11届好时会议将返回美国，并将由博士组织。 唐娜费列罗和苏珊万努奇将在加州阿西洛马举行。我们正在申请国家卫生研究院的支持 主要用于资助初级调查员和受训人员的出勤。拟议会议的总体目标 是汇集一个国际性的临床和基础科学家小组， 脑损伤和再生在发展中的动物和人类。 该方法与以前相同，有四个目标： 1)确定告知基本科学概念的临床范例，并将这些新的基本概念 将概念转化为更精细的临床应用; 2)探索我们现有知识的空白领域，并包括边缘领域的专家，以提供新的 对这些差距的看法 3)促进新的合作 4)招聘和指导初级同事，特别是包括代表性不足的少数民族 因此，R13的目标是为学员和初级学员提供必要的持续支持， 教师。来自美国和国外的学员的广泛参与是好时的一个标志 会议实习生，包括MD和PhD，占所有参与者的30-50%。本次会议是一次 这是学员与实地领导人进行非正式互动的绝佳机会， 博士后和访问科学家招聘机制。因此，该R13的具体目的是促进 培训生和初级教员的参与，并确定来自种族/少数民族的培训生/初级教员， 代表性不足的机构参加这次会议。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Hershey Conference on Developmental Brain Injury was started in 1997 and has grown to a popular, well attended, yet still small, international conference of physician-scientists and basic scientists, with a high number of trainees. The 2018 11th Hershey Conference will return to the USA and will be organized by Drs. Donna Ferriero and Susan Vannucci to be held at Asilomar CA. We are applying for support from NIH primarily to fund attendance for junior investigators and trainees. The overall goal of the proposed meeting is to bring together an international group of clinical and basic scientists involved in research pertaining to brain injury and regeneration in developing animals and humans. The approach remains the same as previously and has four objectives: 1) identifying clinical paradigms that inform basic science concepts and translating those new basic concepts into more refined clinical application; 2) exploring areas of gaps in our current knowledge and including experts in tangential fields to provide new perspectives on these gaps 3) promoting novel collaborations 4) recruiting and mentoring of junior colleagues, especially including under-represented minorities Therefore, the objective of this R13 is to provide the necessary continued support of trainees and junior faculty. Extensive participation of trainees, both from US and abroad, has been a hallmark of the Hershey Conference. Trainees, both MD and PhD, constitute 30-50% of all participants. This meeting has been an excellent opportunity for informal interaction between trainees and the leaders in the field as well as a mechanism for post-doctoral and visiting scientist recruitment. Thus, a specific aim of this R13 is to promote trainee and junior faculty participation and to identify trainees/junior faculty from racial/ethnic minorities and underrepresented institutions to attend this conference.
