DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Stress is a leading presenting, precipitating and exacerbating factor for a wide array of biomedical pathological conditions, with an especially strong etiological link with mental disorders. Researchers have made significant recent advances in understanding the neurobiology of stress. Determining the molecular, cellular and neurosystems mechanisms through which stress alters brain function is essential to understanding the mechanistic relationship between stress and mental disorders. A Neurobiology of Stress Workshop is being organized to be held June 15-18, 2010 at Boulder Colorado. This rigorous scientific meeting will bring together preclinical and clinical researchers who study stress-brain interactions and their impact on mental and physical health. This Workshop addresses an important need to strengthen the community of stress researchers in a manner that will maximize the productivity and clinical benefit of future stress research. Thus, the Workshop will provide a unique opportunity for researchers to participate in face-to-face examination of recent research advances, to share perspectives, identify relevant issues, debate controversies and exchange diverse expertise. Five sessions are planned in which invited speakers will present new research work, novel ideas, and examination of clinically relevant issues. Session themes are organized around specific stress-related factors and their impact on mental health and disease. Specifically, these stress-related factors of focus are 1) energy metabolism, 2) lifespan epochs, 3) risk factors, 4) resistance/resilience factors, and 5) cognitive and emotional factors. One of the five sessions is a targeted multidisciplinary cross-fertilization session featuring metabolism/energy balance and its relationship with stress neurobiology. In addition to the discussion time within each session, the Workshop features extensive time for interaction among all attendees at the opening data blitz reception, shared daily lunch period, Poster Session, and a social hour that will feature an informal discussion of the future of stress research. A priority of the Workshop is to foster the professional development of new investigators and women by including them at all levels of meeting organization and Program participation. Further the Workshop will nurture career development of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers by giving them ample opportunity to participate in the Workshop via the data blitz session, Poster Session, discussion sessions, "Meet the Speaker" luncheon roundtables, and an on-line Meeting Issues Blog. Travel Grants will be made available to select trainees through a merit based application process, with a detailed plan in place to recruit applications from interested minority candidates. Funds are requested in this application to support Trainee Travel Grants, Poster Session costs, and meeting related costs for new investigators, women and minorities that are participating in the Scientific Program. This Workshop will address critical needs in the stress research community that are ongoing, and consequently we envision this meeting as serving as a model for a recurring series of Stress Workshops. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The adverse effects of stress on mental and physical health has come to the fore as one of the most pressing biomedical problems in our society. The proposed Neurobiology of Stress Workshop to be held June 15-18, 2010 in Boulder Colorado will bring together basic, preclinical and clinical researchers and affiliated trainees in order to significantly enhance the productivity and clinical benefit of future stress research.

描述(由申请人提供)：压力是一系列生物医学病理疾病的主要表现、诱发和加重因素，与精神障碍有特别强的病因学联系。研究人员最近在了解压力的神经生物学方面取得了重大进展。确定应激改变大脑功能的分子、细胞和神经系统机制对于理解应激和精神障碍之间的机制关系至关重要。应激神经生物学研讨会将于2010年6月15日至18日在科罗拉多州博尔德举行。这次严谨的科学会议将汇聚研究压力-大脑相互作用及其对心理和身体健康影响的临床前和临床研究人员。本研讨会提出了加强压力研究人员社区的重要需要，以最大限度地提高未来压力研究的生产力和临床效益。因此，讲习班将为研究人员提供一个独特的机会，让他们参与对最新研究进展的面对面审查，分享观点，确定相关问题，辩论争议，并交流不同的专门知识。计划举行五次会议，受邀演讲者将介绍新的研究工作、新的想法和对临床相关问题的检查。会议主题围绕特定的压力相关因素及其对心理健康和疾病的影响而组织。具体地说，这些与压力相关的关注因素是1)能量代谢，2)寿命周期，3)风险因素，4)抵抗/弹性因素，以及5)认知和情感因素。五次会议中的一次是一次有针对性的多学科交叉受精会议，主题是代谢/能量平衡及其与应激神经生物学的关系。除了每一次会议的讨论时间外，研讨会的特点是在开幕数据闪电战招待会、共享每日午餐时间、海报会议以及将以非正式讨论压力研究的未来为特色的社交时间中，所有与会者之间有大量的互动时间。讲习班的一个优先事项是通过将新调查员和妇女纳入各级会议组织和方案参与，促进他们的专业发展。此外，讲习班将通过数据闪电战会议、海报会议、讨论会议、“会见议长”午餐会圆桌会议和在线会议问题博客，为研究生和博士后研究人员提供充分的机会参加讲习班，从而促进他们的职业发展。将提供旅费津贴，通过择优申请程序挑选受训人员，并制定详细计划，从感兴趣的少数族裔候选人中招募申请。本申请申请的资金用于支持参加科学计划的新研究人员、妇女和少数族裔的见习旅行津贴、海报会议费用和会议相关费用。这次研讨会将解决压力研究社区正在进行的关键需求，因此，我们预计这次会议将成为重复举行的一系列压力研讨会的典范。 公共卫生相关性：压力对身心健康的不利影响已经成为我们社会最紧迫的生物医学问题之一。拟于2010年6月15日至18日在科罗拉多州博尔德市举行的应激神经生物学研讨会将汇集基础、临床前和临床研究人员以及附属受训人员，以显著提高未来应激研究的生产率和临床效益。
