International Society for Regenerative Biology Biennial Conference

项目摘要 这项提案要求为国际促进发展学会第一次两年期会议提供部分资金， 再生生物学（ISRB）将在5年内举行，包括预定在维也纳举行的首次会议 2023年9月2日至6日。ISRB是一个外国实体，在英格兰和威尔士注册为慈善机构。ISRB 成立于2021年，其总体目标是正式建立一个包容和综合的科学家社区 研究无脊椎动物和脊椎动物模式生物组织再生的各个方面。这些包括 基础发现研究的主导主题，同时也欢迎工程和再生医学 应用. ISRB现有成员248人，其中教师130人，博士后56人， 研究生。我们预计我们的第一次面对面会议将提供一个重要的招聘机会。更 超过50%的现有会员位于美国。2023年会议地点在维也纳 预计将增加欧洲成员，并为国际科学提供机会， 许多美国学员的经验。2025年会议将在北美举行，地点是 2023年确定，2027年的地点将在资助期晚些时候确定。ISRB的职能是 组织自己的主要会议和虚拟活动，如网络研讨会，同时支持和加强其他 研讨会和小型会议。ISRB将把再生研究的重要性和影响传达给 更大的科学和外行社区，突出再生生物学家和他们的发现，并促进 再生生物学，为成就和服务颁奖，并倡导研究和 社区资助。 ISRB两年一次的会议旨在成为研究人员在广泛领域的首要机会， 组织再生，跨越许多物种，组织，以及损伤和疾病的背景，以满足和共享数据 和想法。它将为学生、博士后和初级研究人员提供一个互动论坛，介绍他们的工作 并与高级研究人员互动，积极支持科学的多样性和包容性。使得 关于跨物种和跨组织比较的讨论将是加强对 再生能力和调节再生机制的共性和差异 范式-建立一个综合框架。本提案要求提供财政支助， 帮助支付与会者的会议费用，目标是确保与会者的多样性， 对处于职业生涯早期阶段的人进行培训。

PROJECT SUMMARY This proposal requests partial funding for the first biennial conferences of the International Society for Regenerative Biology (ISRB) to occur over a 5-year period, including its inaugural meeting in Vienna scheduled for September 2-6, 2023. The ISRB is a foreign entity, registered as a charity in England and Wales. The ISRB was established in 2021 with an overarching goal to formalize an inclusive and integrated community of scientists that studies all aspects of tissue regeneration in invertebrate and vertebrate model organisms. These include a dominant theme of basic discovery research, while also welcoming engineering and regenerative medicine applications. There are currently 248 ISRB members, including 130 faculty, 56 postdoctoral fellows, and 62 graduate students. We anticipate our first in-person meeting will provide a major recruitment opportunity. More than 50% of the current membership is located in the United States. The conference location of Vienna for 2023 is expected to increase European memberships and to provide opportunities for an international science experience for many US trainees. The 2025 Conference will take place in North America at a site to be determined in 2023, and the 2027 site will be determined later in the funding period. Functions of the ISRB are to organize its own main conference and virtual events such as webinars, while supporting and enhancing other workshops and small meetings. ISRB will convey the importance and impact of regeneration research to the greater scientific and lay communities, highlight regenerative biologists and their discoveries, and promote regenerative biology by giving awards for achievements and service, and by advocating for research and community funding. The ISRB biennial conference is intended to be the premier opportunity for researchers in the broad field of tissue regeneration, across many species, tissues, and contexts of injury and disease, to meet and share data and ideas. It will provide an interactive forum for students, postdocs and junior investigators to present their work and interact with senior investigators, and to actively support diversity and inclusion in science. Enabling a discourse regarding cross-species and cross-tissue comparisons will be key to enhancing understanding of the commonalities and divergences in regenerative capacity and of the mechanisms regulating regeneration across paradigms – toward the creation of an integrative framework. In this proposal, financial support is requested to help defray conference fees for attendees, with a goal of ensuring diversity among attendees and to enable attendance of those at early career stages.
