PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the top causes of death and disability worldwide. However, due to its complexity, it remains one of the most challenging neurological conditions to treat. Advances in our understanding of TBI pathobiology and improvements in clinical care for TBI require multidisciplinary exchange of scientific ideas and encouragement of promising young investigators in the field. Our first Western Neurotrauma Symposium (WNTS) was well received and especially noted for the attention given to the trainees and early investigators. The WNTS will continue to be a unique regional conference providing an annual venue for a broad range of neurotraumatology research, with a focus on trainees and early career investigators, presentation of cutting-edge data in a safe environment, multidisciplinary collaborative ideas and a more intimate setting to allow direct interactions between attendees. This meeting will be instrumental in developing the next generation of investigators and ideas, without duplicating or replacing opportunities provided at existing National and International Neurotrauma Symposia. While the focus of continued WNTS funding would be development of regional young investigators and collaborators, attendance at the meeting would be open. The first WNTS showed participation of a more diverse population from centers throughout the Western U.S. with specific outreach and travel awards to encourage active participation of underrepresented groups in neuroscience/neurotrauma research. In 2022, this R13 supported 6 WNTS Young Investigators, 9 WNTS Travel Awardees and 2 WNTS Faculty, enhancing diversity at all levels. The additional support provided by renewing this grant for 2023 would specifically enable expanded inclusion of investigators from outside of the UC, bringing in research and clinical trainees and faculty from across the western states, for whom travel, expense and time constraints may limit opportunities for young persons to attend national or international conferences.

项目总结/摘要 创伤性脑损伤（TBI）是全球死亡和残疾的主要原因之一。但由于其 复杂性，它仍然是治疗最具挑战性的神经系统疾病之一。 理解创伤性脑损伤的病理生物学和改善创伤性脑损伤的临床护理需要多学科的交流 科学思想和鼓励有前途的年轻研究人员在该领域。我们的第一个西方 神经创伤研讨会（WNTS）受到好评，特别是注意到给予学员的关注 早期的研究者WNTS将继续成为一个独特的区域会议， 对于广泛的神经创伤学研究，重点是学员和早期职业调查人员， 在安全的环境中展示尖端数据，多学科协作思想和更亲密的 设置为允许与会者之间的直接交互。本次会议将有助于制定下一个 产生调查人员和想法，而不重复或取代现有国家 国际神经创伤研讨会虽然WNTs继续提供资金的重点是发展 由于区域青年调查员和合作者的参与，会议将开放供参加。第一个WNTS 显示了来自美国西部各个中心的更多样化的人群的参与， 外联和旅行奖，以鼓励代表性不足的群体积极参与 神经科学/神经创伤研究。在2022年，这个R13支持了6名WNTS青年研究员，9名WNTS旅行 获奖者和2 WNTS教师，提高各级多样性。通过更新提供的额外支持 这项2023年的拨款将专门用于扩大加州大学以外的研究人员， 来自西部各州的研究和临床实习生和教师，对他们来说，旅行，费用和时间 制约因素可能限制青年人参加国家或国际会议的机会。
