DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is being submitted to request support for the XIth Little Brain Big Brain meeting, which will be held from August 23-26, 2009 at the Best Western Harborside Inn and Kenosha Conference Center in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Funds are requested to support travel, food and housing costs for up-and-coming young investigators in the field of neurogastroenterology from the United States and abroad selected to attend the meeting. The meeting in 2009 will be the 20th anniversary meeting of the Little Brain Big Brain. This conference, which is typically held outside the United States and supported by sponsors in industry, has a long tradition and proven track record of supporting open communication; furthering scientific discovery and learning; bridging the gap between basic and applied science; and encouraging diversity. Because this will be the first Little Brain Big Brain meeting to be held in the United States and because recent negative developments in the pharmaceutical industry have reduced their level of support for our field, we are seeking support from the National Institutes of Health. The scientific content of the meeting will be determined by the participants who are successful in their applications to attend and will cover the breadth of study in the field of neurogastroenterology, from development of the enteric nervous system to epidemiology of digestive diseases. Every participant will deliver an oral presentation of their most recent work and be expected to actively discuss the work of others. The schedule of the meeting is filled with many breaks to encourage social interaction between participants, and continued discussion of scientific content. This proven organization fosters the establishment of productive collaborations, important to the early careers of scientists, which ultimately transforms the field of study. Overall, the XIth Little Brain Big Brain will continue the tradition of uniting basic and applied science and encouraging scientific exchange by providing opportunities for young investigators to meet and share their research goals, with the objective of fostering collaborative research projects between participants. Conference Narrative: Financial support is sought for a scientific conference specifically designed for scientists early in their careers. This conference, called the Little Brain Big Brain, referring to the interaction between nerve cells in the digestive system and nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, gathers scientists from around the world to study new ways to treat diseases of the digestive system. Support will be used to pay for travel and housing for participants that typically do not have money to attend such a conference. The organization of the meeting is unique and contributes to interactions between young scientists that can last for many years. Ensuring a diverse program, and encouraging open communication and discussion about new and sometimes controversial topics will allow participants to critically evaluate the present state of knowledge, identify important problems to be solved and formulate definitive approaches.

申请者描述(申请人提供)：本申请旨在请求支持将于2009年8月23-26日在威斯康星州基诺沙市的贝斯特维斯特哈博尔赛德酒店和基诺沙会议中心举行的第十一届小脑大脑会议。要求提供资金，以支持被选中参加会议的美国和国外神经胃肠病领域的新秀年轻研究人员的旅费、食宿费用。2009年的会议将是小脑大脑成立20周年的会议。这次会议通常在美国境外举行，并得到业界赞助商的支持，在支持公开交流、促进科学发现和学习、弥合基础科学和应用科学之间的差距以及鼓励多样性方面有着悠久的传统和公认的记录。由于这将是第一次在美国举行的小脑大脑会议，而且最近制药业的负面发展减少了他们对我们领域的支持，我们正在寻求美国国立卫生研究院的支持。会议的科学内容将由成功申请出席的与会者确定，并将涵盖神经胃肠病领域的研究广度，从肠道神经系统的发展到消化系统疾病的流行病学。每个参与者都将口头介绍他们最新的工作，并积极讨论其他人的工作。会议的日程安排充满了许多休息时间，以鼓励与会者之间的社交互动，并继续讨论科学内容。这个久经考验的组织促进了富有成效的合作的建立，这对科学家的早期职业生涯很重要，最终改变了研究领域。总体而言，第十一届小脑大脑将延续基础科学和应用科学相结合的传统，通过为年轻研究人员提供机会来满足和分享他们的研究目标，鼓励科学交流，目的是促进参与者之间的合作研究项目。 会议叙述：为一个专门为处于职业生涯早期的科学家设计的科学会议寻求资金支持。这次会议名为小脑大脑，指的是消化系统中的神经细胞与大脑和脊髓中的神经细胞之间的相互作用，聚集了来自世界各地的科学家，研究治疗消化系统疾病的新方法。支持将用于支付与会者的旅费和住宿费，这些与会者通常没有钱参加这样的会议。会议的组织是独一无二的，有助于青年科学家之间持续多年的互动。确保计划的多样性，并鼓励就新的、有时是有争议的话题进行公开交流和讨论，这将使与会者能够批判性地评估当前的知识状况，确定需要解决的重要问题，并制定明确的方法。
