AAOS Multi-Year Research Symposia for 2011-2015

描述（由申请人提供）：美国矫形外科医师学会（AAOS）致力于维护肌肉骨骼疾病患者的利益，服务于矫形外科专业，并推进最高质量的肌肉骨骼健康。20多年来，美国科学促进会和美国国立卫生研究院一直合作开展和实施年度肌肉骨骼研究专题讨论会。这些研讨会允许学术界和工业界的领导者讨论和定义与骨科/肌肉骨骼健康相关的最新技术，并确定未来的研究方向。肌肉骨骼研究的新进展将使近三分之一患有肌肉骨骼疾病的美国人受益。这些专题讨论会的具体目的是：1)确定肌肉骨骼医学重要领域的临床和临床前研究和实践的现状；2)确定需要新的或额外研究的领域；3)确定将实验室研究转化为临床实践的需求和机会；4)激发肌肉骨骼学界当前和未来的研究议程；5)通过与《骨与关节外科杂志》（JBJS）和/或《美国骨科学会杂志》（JAAOS）的现有合作关系，及时在AAOS研究发展委员会研讨会网站上发表这些研讨会，并以印刷形式向包括执业医生在内的肌肉骨骼学界提供教育；6)促进肌肉骨骼医学领域的利益相关者，行业和政府之间的互动。要求资金为2011年、2012年、2013年、2014年和2015年举行的未来五次AAOS/NIH专题讨论会提供部分支持。会议将讨论以下主题：2011年比较有效性研究：价值何在？（CER） 2012肌肉骨骼肿瘤学（MO） 2013骨科发育生物学和再生（DBRO） 2014性别和性别对肌肉骨骼健康的影响（ISG） 2015疼痛与骨科（PO）从相关学科中选择两名或两名以上的高级研究员共同主持每个研讨会。研讨会联合主席确保少数民族、妇女和残疾人作为教员和受邀嘉宾都能参加。联合主席负责决定在何处举行专题讨论会和邀请谁，并制定会议将讨论的战略问题。他们还负责预算，并监督讨论会的会议记录和结论的及时出版。对于随后提议的专题讨论会，已经确定了主席，并总结了每个主题的目标和背景。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) strives to champion the interests of patients with musculoskeletal conditions, serve the orthopaedic profession, and advance the highest quality musculoskeletal health. For over 20 years, the AAOS and the National Institutes of Health have collaborated in the development and implementation of annual musculoskeletal research symposia. These symposia allow leaders in academia and industry to discuss and define the state-of-the-art as it pertains to a topical area of orthopaedics/musculoskeletal health and to define future research directions. New developments in musculoskeletal research will benefit the nearly 1 in 3 Americans who suffer from a musculoskeletal condition. The Specific Aims of these symposia are to: 1) Define the current status of clinical and pre-clinical research and practice in important areas of musculoskeletal medicine; 2) Identify areas of need for new or additional research; 3) Define needs and opportunities for translating laboratory research into clinical practice; 4) Stimulate the current and future research agendas for the musculoskeletal community; 5) Provide education to the musculoskeletal community, including practicing physicians, from these symposia in the form of a timely publication on the AAOS Research Development Committee symposia Website, as well as in print, through an existing relationship with the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS) and/or the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS); and 6) Promote interaction between stakeholders in the area of musculoskeletal medicine, industry and government. Funding is requested to provide partial support for the next five AAOS/NIH symposia, occurring in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. The following topics will be covered: 2011 Comparative Effectiveness Research: What's the Value? (CER) 2012 Musculoskeletal Oncology (MO) 2013 Developmental Biology and Regeneration in Orthopaedics (DBRO) 2014 Influence of Sex and Gender on Musculoskeletal Health (ISG) 2015 Pain and Orthopaedics (PO) Two or more senior investigators from the relevant disciplines have been selected to co-chair each symposium. Symposium co-chairs ensure the inclusion of minorities, women, and persons with disabilities both as faculty and as invited guests. The co-chairs are responsible for deciding where to hold the symposium and who to invite and developing the strategic questions the sessions will address. They are also responsible for budgets, as well as for overseeing the publication of proceedings and conclusions of the symposium in a timely manner. For the subsequent proposed symposia, chairs have been identified and the goals and context of each topic have been summarized.
