11th International Congress of Behavioral Medicine (ICBM2010)

描述（由申请人提供）：行为医学学会是第11届国际行为医学大会（ICBM 2010）的组织实体，将于2010年8月4日至7日在华盛顿举行，与国际行为医学学会合作。大会的主题是“转化行为研究：全球挑战”，认识到全球合作的重要性。为了促进最有前途的科学家的成长和发展，通过该申请寻求的资金的主要用途将是支持来自发展中国家和美国的约20名年轻研究人员以及来自发展中国家的10名资深研究人员参加这个特殊的多学科多国科学论坛。 在程序上，ICBM 2010将解决国家癌症研究所广泛的行为研究目标的许多方面。这些措施包括更好地了解癌症的根本原因，包括生活方式因素和环境暴露，癌症预防和控制，减少健康差距的程度，并确定可改变的风险因素。ICBM 2010计划也与许多其他NIH研究所和中心（IC）相关，这些研究所和中心的任务是通过基础行为科学，行为流行病学，预防干预和翻译研究来推进。这些机构包括NCCAM、OBSSR、NHGRI、NIA、NIDHD、NINDS、NHLBI、NIDDK、NIAID、NIDA、NIAAA、NIMH等。 第11届国际行为医学大会是促进我们理解临床和公共卫生研究证据转化为实践的挑战的首要国际论坛。用全球卫生委员会（2009年）的话说：“与其他国家的伙伴合作，在以往承诺的基础上再接再厉，[我们]有机会履行[我们的]责任，拯救世界各地千百万人的生命，改善他们的生活质量，以此展现全球领导力。“通过来自六大洲的演讲者的全面研究报告以及国际公认的权威人士的主旨和大师讲座，ICBM 2010是朝着这一目标迈出的重要一步。为了完成这一使命，本申请书的目的是支持最优秀和最聪明的调查人员参加2010年洲际弹道导弹会议，减轻经济负担，否则他们可能无法参加会议。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Society of Behavioral Medicine is the organizing entity for the 11th International Congress of Behavioral Medicine (ICBM2010) to be held in Washington, DC, August 4-7, 2010 in collaboration with the International Society of Behavioral Medicine. The theme of the Congress, "Translational Behavioral Research: A Global Challenge," recognizes the importance of worldwide collaboration. In order to promote the growth and development of the most promising scientists, the primary use of the funds being sought through this application will be to support the participation of approximately 20 young investigators from developing countries and from the US, and 10 established investigators from developing countries in this exceptional, multidisciplinary and multi-national scientific forum. Programmatically, ICBM2010 will address numerous aspects of the National Cancer Institute's extensive behavioral research objectives. These include developing a better understanding of the root causes of cancer that include lifestyle factors and environmental exposures, cancer prevention and control, reducing the magnitude of health disparities and, identifying modifiable risk factors. The ICBM2010 program is also relevant to many other NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) whose missions are advanced through the basic behavioral sciences, behavioral epidemiology, preventive interventions, and translation research. These include NCCAM, OBSSR, NHGRI, NIA, NIDHD, NINDS, NHLBI, NIDDK, NIAID, NIDA, NIAAA, NIMH and others. The 11th International Congress of Behavioral Medicine is the premier international forum for advancing our understanding of the challenges underlying the translation of clinical and public health research evidence to practice. In the words of the Board on Global Health (2009): "Working with partners in other countries and building on previous commitments, [we have] the opportunity to demonstrate global leadership by fulfilling [our] responsibility to save lives and improve the quality of life for millions around the world." Through its comprehensive program of research presentations by speakers from six continents and keynote and master lectures by internationally recognized authorities, ICBM2010 is an important step toward this goal. In pursuit of this mission, the purpose of this application is to support participation in ICBM2010 of the best and brightest investigators by easing the economic burdens that might otherwise prevent their participation.
