Annual Conference 2011: American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO)

描述(由申请人提供)：美国预防肿瘤学会(ASPO)的主要目的是交流信息和促进癌症预防和控制方面的研究。本申请请求为该多学科组织2011年年会提供部分支持。为了让ASPO提供高质量的项目，并继续发展，为初级调查人员提供新的机会，一定程度的外部支持是必要的。考虑到ASPO的资源有限，年度会议的费用不断增加，因此不提供酬金，但会支付受邀演讲者的费用。 ASPO年度会议由四到六个研讨会、提交的论文会议、颁奖讲座、兴趣小组早餐会议和海报会议组成，计划在三天内举行。会前研讨会包括一个新的研究人员研讨会、专业发展会议、癌症中心副主任和癌症控制与预防项目领导人会议，以及为NIH受训人员和NCI培训基金主任举行的会议。早餐将保留给ASPO成员感兴趣的最新话题。在每次年会前几个月，都会征集摘要，以供口头和海报演示。获得最高排名的16篇摘要将发表在同行评议期刊《癌症流行病学、生物标记物与预防》上。不同类别的20篇排名靠前的摘要将在提供的论文会议上口头陈述。根据过去的经验，预计将在两次招贴会期间发布大约100张海报。最佳海报将获奖。将采用期刊广告、海报和直邮等方式宣传会议。 第35届年会将于2011年3月5日至8日在内华达州拉斯维加斯文艺复兴酒店举行。预计约有300名与会者将出席今后的年度会议。演讲者和参与者来自参与癌症预防研究的不同学科，最重要的是，来自与将已知信息转化为有效预防计划有关的学科。所有会议将在完全无障碍的无烟会议设施中举行。通过促进癌症预防几个学科的专业人员之间的交流，ASPO会议提供了一个亲密的氛围，支持指导，鼓励对话，并促进癌症预防和控制方面的创新进展。 公共卫生相关性：此申请是为2011年3月5-8日在内华达州拉斯维加斯举行的美国预防肿瘤学会(ASPO)第35届年度科学会议提供部分支持。ASPO及其会议的目标是促进信息交流，刺激研究，并促进与癌症预防和控制相关的项目。ASPO的年度会议通过其独特的多学科重点关注癌症预防和控制研究和初级成员的职业发展，其科学会议的高质量和影响力，以及癌症预防和控制研究对国家减轻癌症负担的重要性，为公众的健康提供支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary purposes of the American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO) are the exchange of information and the promotion of research in cancer prevention and control. This application requests partial support for the 2011 annual meeting of this multidisciplinary organization. In order for ASPO to provide a high quality program and to continue to grow and provide new opportunities for junior investigators, some level of outside support is necessary. In recognition of ASPO's limited resources and increasing costs for annual meetings, no honoraria are offered, but expenses of invited speakers are covered. ASPO annual meetings are organized to consist of four to six symposia, submitted paper sessions, award lectures, interest group breakfast sessions, and a poster session scheduled over three days. Pre- meeting workshops consist of a new investigators workshop, professional development sessions, a meeting of the cancer center Associate Directors and Program Leaders for Cancer Control and Prevention, and meetings for NIH trainees and NCI training grant directors. Breakfasts will be reserved for late-breaking topics of interest to the ASPO membership. Several months prior to each annual meeting, abstracts are solicited for oral and poster presentation. The 16 abstracts receiving the highest rankings will be published in the peer-reviewed journal, Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. The 20 top-ranked abstracts in various categories will be presented orally during proffered paper sessions. Based on past experience, it is anticipated that approximately 100 posters will be presented during two poster sessions. An award will be given for the best poster. Journal advertisements, posters and direct mail will be used to publicize the meeting. The 35th annual meeting will be in Las Vegas, Nevada, March 5-8, 2011 at the Renaissance Hotel. Approximately 300 participants are anticipated to attend future annual meetings. Speakers and participants are from diverse disciplines involved in cancer prevention research and, most significantly, from disciplines concerned with translating known information into effective prevention programs. All meetings will be held in non-smoking fully-accessible conference facilities. By fostering communication among professionals in several disciplines of cancer prevention, ASPO meetings provide an intimate atmosphere that supports mentoring, encourages dialogue, and promotes innovative progress in cancer prevention and control. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This application is for partial support for the 35th annual scientific meeting of the American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO) in Las Vegas, Nevada, March 5-8, 2011. The goals of ASPO and its meetings are to promote information exchange, stimulate research, and foster programs relevant to cancer prevention and control. ASPO's annual meetings support the health of the public through its unique multidisciplinary emphases on cancer prevention and control research and junior member career development, the high quality and influence of its scientific meetings, and the importance of cancer prevention and control research to the national effort to reduce the burden of cancer.
