Abstract The Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) Spine Section is the premier professional body devoted to basic and translational spine research, and an indispensable scientific forum for investigators at all career stages. While Spine Section Symposia have been held successfully as sub-meetings of the main ORS Annual Meeting for several years, available funds have resulted in significant programmatic limitations. A recent COVID-19 impact survey led by Spine Section members highlighted the challenges faced by spine researchers, particularly by trainees, early investigators and minorities. We are requesting NIH funds to facilitate programmatic expansion of Spine Section Symposia for the next 3 years to specifically support initiatives designed to address these challenges. Specifically, the objectives of these annual, half day symposia will be to leverage and expand the mission of the ORS Spine Section in order to catalyze transformative basic and translational spine research through enhanced mentoring, diversity and collaboration across institutions and countries. Four Specific Aims reflecting these integrated themes are proposed for each of 3 annual half day meetings: 1) Enhancing spine research through precision mentoring; 2) Enhancing spine research by increasing opportunity and participation by individuals from diverse backgrounds at all career stages; 3) Enhancing spine research through multi-institution and international collaborations; and 4) Cutting edge basic and translational spine research to enhance patient outcomes. Specific scientific topics will be selected from recent and future Spine Section membership surveys, and will include: emerging diagnostic strategies for disc degeneration and back pain; innovative drug delivery techniques for the spine; and leveraging developmental and evolutionary biology, genomics and artificial intelligence to advance next generation spine therapeutics. Symposia will be held the day preceding the main ORS Annual Meeting in a hybrid format that will in able full, interactive participation by both in person and virtual attendees.

摘要 骨科研究学会（ORS）脊柱科是致力于基础医学研究的首要专业机构。 和翻译脊柱研究，和一个不可或缺的科学论坛的研究人员在所有职业阶段。 脊柱科专题讨论会作为ORS年会的分会议已成功举办 几年来，可用资金导致方案受到严重限制。最近的COVID-19 由脊柱科成员领导的影响调查强调了脊柱研究人员面临的挑战， 特别是受训人员、早期调查人员和少数族裔。我们正在申请NIH资金， 脊柱科研讨会在未来3年的计划扩展，以专门支持倡议 旨在应对这些挑战。具体而言，这些为期半天的年度研讨会的目标是： 利用和扩展ORS脊柱科的使命，以促进变革性的基础和 通过加强指导，多样性和跨机构的合作， 国家每年3个半天，提出了反映这些综合主题的四个具体目标 会议：1）通过精确指导加强脊柱研究; 2）通过 增加来自不同背景的个人在所有职业阶段的机会和参与; 3） 通过多机构和国际合作加强脊柱研究;以及4）尖端基础 和转化脊柱研究，以提高患者的治疗效果。具体的科学主题将从 最近和未来的脊柱科成员调查，并将包括： 退化和背部疼痛;创新的药物输送技术的脊椎;和利用发展 以及进化生物学、基因组学和人工智能来推进下一代脊柱治疗。 专题讨论会将在主ORS年会的前一天以混合形式举行， 通过亲自和虚拟与会者的互动参与。
