PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT We will convene the 4th annual Interdisciplinary Nutrition Sciences Symposium (INSS), entitled “Obesity and the Brain Across the Life Course.” This conference will address the critical need to establish rigorous interdisciplinary and translational approaches in the context of nutrition and obesity to effectively prevent and treat a variety of physiological outcomes as they relate to aging and the brain. Interactive discussions will enable early career investigators and faculty, including those underrepresented in science, to engage with senior investigators. These valuable experiences will provide early career investigators and trainees with a foundation upon which they will be able to contribute to the next generation of successful aging, obesity, and brain research. Confirmed and invited speakers will include leading national academic scientists from diverse backgrounds with expertise in aging biology, translational obesity, and nutrition/diet research. The five interactive sessions are organized to facilitate and encourage integration across disciplines, synthesize knowledge, and generate new ideas in selected areas of aging, obesity, and brain research. A major goal of the conference is to build upon the dialogue in our previous successful symposia to develop best practices for translational and mechanistic science and to generate ideas for proposals and collaborative projects. We will feature a networking lunch to encourage discussion across scientific approaches, seniority, and industry/academia relationships. We will also hold an early career lunch and workshop to allow opportunities for detailed discussions around mentoring and career development. Rigorous evaluation of the symposium will involve summative assessment activities through online surveys conducted via the conference website to assess what participants learned, what was effective, and what needs improvement. An anticipated deliverable of INSS 2023 is a scientific paper geared towards a major aging journal on how to translate findings from basic and clinical studies toward improving cognitive outcomes in aged adults with obesity based on rigorous evidence. We will promote the symposium broadly via national societies, including The American Geriatrics Society, The Gerontological Society of America, Obesity Medicine Association, American Society for Nutrition, The Obesity Society, Translational Geroscience Network. Additionally, the symposium will be promoted through the University of North Carolina Center for Aging and Health networks, and NIH-funded centers such as the Nutrition Obesity Research Centers, Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers, and others. We anticipate that attendees will span the diverse fields of gerontology, geriatrics, cognition, physiology, biochemistry, nutrition, and more. We anticipate attendance of approximately 100 scientists, based on the success of the prior three symposia and the outstanding leading keynote speakers who have agreed to attend.

项目概要/摘要 我们将召开第四届年度跨学科营养科学研讨会（INSS），题为“肥胖与肥胖” 大脑贯穿生命历程。”这次会议将解决建立严格的跨学科的迫切需要 营养和肥胖背景下的转化方法，以有效预防和治疗各种 与衰老和大脑相关的生理结果。互动讨论将促进早期职业生涯 研究人员和教职人员，包括那些在科学领域代表性不足的人员，与高级研究人员进行接触。 这些宝贵的经验将为早期职业调查员和受训者提供基础 他们将能够为下一代成功的衰老、肥胖和大脑研究做出贡献。确认的 受邀演讲者将包括来自不同背景、具有专业知识的领先国家学术科学家 衰老生物学、转化性肥胖和营养/饮食研究。举办五场互动会议的目的是 促进和鼓励跨学科整合、综合知识并产生新想法 衰老、肥胖和大脑研究的选定领域。会议的一个主要目标是加强对话 在我们之前成功举办的研讨会上，为转化和机械科学开发最佳实践，并 为提案和合作项目产生想法。我们将举办一场社交午餐来鼓励 跨科学方法、资历和行业/学术关系的讨论。我们还将举办 早期职业午餐和研讨会，为围绕指导和职业进行详细讨论提供了机会 发展。会议的严格评审将通过在线方式进行总结性评估活动 通过会议网站进行调查，以评估参与者学到了什么、什么是有效的以及什么 需要改进。 INSS 2023 的预期成果是一篇针对重大老龄化问题的科学论文 关于如何将基础和临床研究的发现转化为改善老年人认知结果的杂志 基于严格证据的肥胖成人。我们将通过各国协会广泛宣传本次研讨会， 包括美国老年医学会、美国老年学协会、肥胖医学 协会、美国营养学会、肥胖学会、转化老年科学网络。 此外，该研讨会将通过北卡罗来纳大学老龄化中心和 健康网络和 NIH 资助的中心，例如营养肥胖研究中心、阿尔茨海默病 研究中心等。我们预计与会者将涵盖老年学、老年病学、 认知、生理学、生物化学、营养学等等。我们预计出席人数约为 100 科学家们，基于前三场研讨会的成功和杰出的主要主题演讲者 已同意参加。
