Support for the 2023 Society of Basic Urological Diseases annual meeting

项目摘要：此应用程序请求支持30个基础服务协会的见习旅行奖 泌尿外科研究(SBUR)2023年秋季会议，题为“基础泌尿外科研究进展：细胞学” 多样性和相声“，将于2023年11月9日至12日在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥的喜来登酒店举行。这个 SBUR秋季研究会议自1992年以来每年举行一次。据我们所知，这次会议 将是2023年唯一一个完全致力于基础泌尿学研究的为期数天的会议。我们已经开发出一种 强大的课程，主题是最新的、前沿的，与基础和翻译的泌尿学相关 研究社区。被邀请的演讲者被挑选出来，以确保主题的多样性，并将人们聚集在一起 调查人员将从串扰中受益，但通常可能不会互动。今年的计划包括一项 研修生座谈会，三场主旨演讲，六场全体会议。Lland W.K.Chung讲师， Owen Witte将讨论前列腺癌的免疫靶向策略，AUA讲师Aria OLumi将 讨论前列腺癌生长的雄激素非依赖性替代途径。全体会议的主题包括1)新的 泌尿外科研究的模型和技术：2)泌尿外科组织中细胞的异质性和相互作用； 3)泌尿系统病理上皮细胞的遗传性和表观遗传学改变；4)泌尿系疾病的间质微环境。 泌尿系统病理学；5)泌尿系统疾病的免疫调节；6)泌尿系统的混杂因素 病理学。本申请所要求的资金将用于支持学员和职业生涯初期的旅行奖励。 调查人员，重点是支持妇女和研究中代表性不足群体的调查人员。 这次会议的主要目标是：1)突出在基本机制研究中的最新发现 泌尿系统疾病；2)确定泌尿系统疾病研究中的关键知识差距并促进方法 解决这些问题；3)吸引来自不同领域的良恶性泌尿外科领域的顶尖科学家；4)刺激 来自不同背景的基础、翻译和临床研究科学家之间的互动，以促进 跨学科交流与协作；5)培养妇女、少数群体、 残疾人、实习生和早期职业调查人员，通过提供机会展示他们的研究和 为他们融入该领域创造途径；6)传播和加速泌尿外科的新发现 疾病；7)为受训人员和早期职业调查人员提供职业指导和建立联系的机会 通过实习生研讨会。我们预计将有250人参加会议，包括SBUR成员和 非成员，包括临床医生、内科医生兼科学家和基础研究人员，特别强调 职业生涯早期的研究人员和团体在泌尿外科研究中的代表性通常较低。一项强有力的计划已经到位 为了增加多样性，宣传会议和传播调查结果。

PROJECT SUMMARY: This application requests support for 30 Trainee Travel Awards for the Society for Basic Urologic Research (SBUR) 2023 Fall Meeting entitled, “Advances in Basic Urological Research: Cellular Diversity and Crosstalk”, which will be held on November 9-12, 2023, at the Sheraton, San Antonio, TX. The SBUR Fall Research Meeting has been held annually since 1992. To the best of our knowledge, this conference will be the only multi-day conference fully dedicated to basic urologic research in 2023. We have developed a strong program with topics that are current, cutting edge and relevant to the basic and translational urologic research community. Invited speakers were selected to ensure subject diversity and bring together populations of investigators that will benefit from crosstalk but may not typically interact. This year’s program includes a Trainee Symposium, three keynote lectureships, and six plenary sessions. The Leland W.K. Chung Lecturer, Owen Witte, will discuss immune targeting strategies for prostate cancer and the AUA lecturer, Aria Olumi, will discuss alternative androgen-independent pathways for prostatic growth. Plenary session topics include 1) New models and technologies for urological research; 2) Cellular heterogeneity and interaction in urological tissues; 3) Genetic and epigenetic alterations of epithelia in urological pathologies; and 4) Stromal microenvironment of urological pathologies; 5) Immunoregulation in urological diseases, and 6) Confounding factors for urological pathologies. The funds requested from this application will support travel awards for trainees and early career investigators, with emphasis on supporting women and investigators from groups under-represented in research. The primary goals of the conference are to: 1) highlight recent findings in the study of basic mechanisms of urologic diseases; 2) identify critical knowledge gaps in the study of urologic diseases and stimulate approaches to address them; 3) attract leading scientists from diverse fields in benign and malignant urology; 4) stimulate interactions between basic, translational and clinical research scientists from diverse backgrounds to facilitate cross-disciplinary communication and collaboration; 5) cultivate active participation of women, minorities, the disabled, trainees, and early career investigators through providing opportunities to present their research and to create pathways for their integration into the field; 6) disseminate and accelerate novel discoveries in urologic diseases; 7) provide career mentorship and networking opportunities to trainees and early career investigators through the Trainee Symposium. We anticipate a meeting attendance of >250, including SBUR members and non-members, including clinician, physician-scientist, and basic researcher attendees, with special emphasis on early-career investigators and groups typically underrepresented in urologic research. A robust plan is in place to enhance diversity, publicize the conference and disseminate of the findings.
