DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funding is requested to cover the costs for providing the venues and travel costs of the speakers at the 41st, 42nd, and 43rd Annual Meetings of the American Aging Association (AGE). The 41st Annual Meeting will be held in Fort Worth, Texas, June 1-4, 2012, and the 2013 annual meeting will be held May 31 - June 3, 2013 in Minneapolis, MN. The theme of the 2012 meeting is "Interventions Now: Targets, Timing and Tactics" and the theme for 2013 is "Aging Challenges: Homeostasis, Treatment, Technology". Planning of the 2014 meeting will reflect emerging discoveries and approaches as they unfold. The overall goal of the AGE annual meeting is to assemble the top investigators in a number of diverse fields of basic and clinical experimental gerontology to present, review and discuss developments in their respective discipline and determine how these new developments can direct or influence areas of aging research. This meeting provides a unique forum for the presentation of advances in aging research and the opportunity to recruit students, recent graduates and senior scientists into this evolving field. Based on the increased attendance at previous meetings, approximately 300 attendees are expected at the upcoming meeting. As a large number of attendees are trainees, this meeting provides an exceptional opportunity to meet with leaders in the aging field. Each program consists of invited and award based lectures/platforms presented in a plenary lecture format, with additional sessions consisting of speakers invited or chosen from submitted abstracts. Non-plenary sessions run in a dual-session format covering distinct topics of relevance to the aging field. All sessions incorporate time for questions and discussion of the presented material, and poster presentations are included to allow for close interaction between presenters and attendees. Other key components of the meeting include the Trans-Atlantic Symposium, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research council of the United Kingdom, which supports collaborations between scientists in the United Kingdom and the United States; the Nathan Shock Center Symposia featuring research presentations by investigators from each of the NIA - sponsored Nathan Shock Gerontology Research Centers, and a Special Student Session. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The American Aging Association (AGE) is one of the oldest constantly active organizations dedicated to these missions and is perhaps the only domestic organization with non- limited attendance that retains an exclusive focus in this area.. Funding is requesting to support the 41st through 43rd American Aging Association meetings to take place in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

描述（由申请人提供）：申请资金用于支付第41、42和43届美国老龄化协会年会（AGE）的场地和演讲嘉宾的差旅费用。第41届年会将于2012年6月1日至4日在德克萨斯州沃斯堡举行，2013年年会将于2013年5月31日至6月3日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行。2012年会议的主题是“现在干预：目标、时机和策略”，2013年会议的主题是“老龄化挑战：体内平衡、治疗和技术”。2014年会议的规划将反映新发现和方法的发展。老年学年会的总体目标是聚集基础和临床实验老年学多个不同领域的顶尖研究人员，介绍、回顾和讨论各自学科的发展，并确定这些新发展如何指导或影响老年学研究领域。本次会议为介绍老龄化研究进展提供了一个独特的论坛，并有机会招募学生、应届毕业生和资深科学家进入这一不断发展的领域。根据前几次会议增加的出席人数，预计将有大约300名与会者出席即将举行的会议。由于许多与会者都是实习生，本次会议提供了一个与老龄化领域的领导者会面的绝佳机会。每个课程都包括邀请和奖励讲座/平台，以全体讲座的形式呈现，还有额外的会议，由邀请或从提交的摘要中选择的演讲者组成。非全体会议以两届会议形式举行，涵盖与老龄化领域相关的不同主题。所有的会议都包括提问和讨论所提交材料的时间，并包括海报展示，以允许演讲者和与会者之间的密切互动。会议的其他关键组成部分包括由联合王国生物技术和生物科学研究理事会资助的跨大西洋专题讨论会，该理事会支持联合王国和美国科学家之间的合作；内森休克中心专题讨论会，由NIA赞助的每个内森休克老年学研究中心的研究人员进行研究报告，以及一个特别的学生会议。
