 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 application seeks funding to support the registration and workshop for students and postdoctoral fellows for the 22nd anniversary meeting of the American Society for Neural Therapy and Repair (ASNTR) to be held April 28 - 30th, 2015. Since its inception in 1994, the ASNTR has convened every year in April/May in Clearwater, Florida, with an attendance of approximately 200 participants. This society has a strong tradition of translational research in the fields of cell transplantation and neuro/tissue engineering, as well as gene therapy as applied to neurological diseases (e.g. Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and Alzheimer's disease, stroke, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury). The focus of the meeting is generally to advance novel treatment strategies in neural repair. Clinical trials are often presented based on basic science research reported at previous meetings. Thus, students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as other attendees not only learn about the "bench science", but they actively participated in discussions with clinicians about translational issues. This interaction fosters the translation from the bench to the bedside and is a unique feature of ASNTR's annual meeting. Each year the ASNTR Education and Training Committee encourages students/postdoctoral fellows to submit their abstracts in a competition that scores their abstracts and ranks them according to creativity of the scientific approach, thoroughness of outcome measures, quality of writing as well as the potential impact on the field. The top rated applicants receive awards to cover their registration costs and partially cover the cost of their meeting attendance. ASNTR has always placed a high priority on funding these awards for students and post-doctoral fellows. Consistently, we have been able to attract support also from biotechnology companies and non-profit organizations to cover a small number of these awards, however, in recent years ASNTR has seen these contributions dwindle and although we will continue to seek funding from the private sector, we do not anticipate any increase in contributions above recent levels in the coming years. This application requests $25,000 in total direct costs to support the trainee awards for the top graduate students/postdoctoral fellows from US institutions that apply (awards of $1000 per student/postdoc). Additional money is requested to partially support the trainee workshop that is held the day prior to the meeting. The ASNTR and the Education and Training Committee include and encourage participation of women, minorities and persons with disabilities in all its activities.

 描述（由申请人提供）：此R13申请寻求资金，以支持学生和博士后研究员的注册和研讨会，为美国神经治疗和修复学会（ASNTR）22周年纪念会议将于2015年4月28日至30日举行。自1994年成立以来，ASNTR每年4月/5月在佛罗里达的克利尔沃特举行会议，约有200人参加。该学会在细胞移植和神经/组织工程领域以及应用于神经系统疾病（例如帕金森氏病、亨廷顿氏病和阿尔茨海默氏病、中风、脊髓损伤和创伤性脑损伤）的基因治疗方面具有强大的转化研究传统。会议的重点通常是推进神经修复的新治疗策略。临床试验通常是基于以前会议上报告的基础科学研究。因此，学生和博士后研究员，以及其他与会者不仅了解“板凳科学”，但他们积极参与讨论与临床医生有关的翻译问题。这种互动促进了从板凳到床边的翻译，是ASNTR年会的独特之处。每年ASNTR教育和培训委员会鼓励学生/博士后研究员在比赛中提交他们的摘要，并根据科学方法的创造性，结果措施的彻底性，写作质量以及对该领域的潜在影响对其摘要进行评分和排名。评分最高的申请人将获得奖励，以支付其注册费用和部分出席会议的费用。ASNTR一直高度重视为学生和博士后研究员提供这些奖项。尽管如此，我们也能够吸引生物技术公司和非营利组织的支持，以涵盖这些奖项中的一小部分，但是，近年来ASNTR已经看到这些捐款减少，尽管我们将继续寻求私营部门的资助，但我们预计未来几年的捐款不会超过最近的水平。本申请要求直接费用总额为25，000美元，以支持申请美国机构的顶尖研究生/博士后研究员的培训生奖励（每位学生/博士后奖励1000美元）。要求提供额外资金，以部分支助在会议前一天举办的受训人员讲习班。ASNTR及教育和培训委员会吸收并鼓励妇女、少数民族和残疾人参与其所有活动。
