Biology of Aging Sessions at Annual Scientific Meeting of The Gerontological Soci

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案要求国家老龄化研究所为GSA生物科学（BS）部门组织的2014-2015年年会提供资金支持。我们组织2014-2015年会议的指导原则是，当研究人员从老年病学家、心理学家和社会学家那里了解人类老龄化问题时，将出现老龄化领域最高质量和最相关的科学。反过来，当老年病学家、心理学家和社会学家了解衰老的基本机制以及旨在改善衰老和与年龄有关的疾病的干预措施的功效时，将促进临床护理和国民健康的改善。此外，我们认识到我们有责任为BS成员以及GSA的其他成员提供最新的尖端，高质量的科学，最终将提高所有参与者的研究水平。GSA的年度会议是国内唯一一个有能力促进这种跨学科方法来研究老龄化的会议。GSA BS部门重新致力于在年度会议上组织最高质量的科学计划，从而为来自不同领域的科学家提供一个互动和思想交流的论坛。目标是提高我们对衰老生物学理解的最新基本进展的认识，并促进转化为临床干预措施。我们提出了一个单轨计划，以老龄化基础生物学中的新兴概念为特色，具有最高的转化潜力，这将促进演讲者和会议与会者之间的讨论和交流，特别是在BS和健康科学部门之间。会议还将为有才华的初级研究人员提供在BS专题讨论会中发挥突出作用的机会。将对科学会议和整体会议后勤进行评估，以便为下一年实施质量改进，并为专题讨论会主题提供连续性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests financial support from the National Institute on Aging for the 2014-2015 Annual Meetings organized by the Biological Sciences (BS) Section of the GSA. Our guiding principle to organizing the 2014-2015 meetings is that the highest quality and most relevant science in the aging field will emerge when researchers understand the issues of human aging from geriatricians, psychologists and sociologists. In turn, improvements in clinical care and the health of nation will be facilitated when geriatricians, psychologists and sociologists understand the basic mechanisms of aging and the efficacy of interventions designed to ameliorate aging and age-related disease. Furthermore, we are cognizant of our responsibility to provide BS members, as well as other members of the GSA, the latest cutting-edge, high quality science that ultimately will improve the research of all who attend. The annual meeting of GSA is the only meeting in the country that has the ability to foster such an interdisciplinary approach to aging research. The GSA BS Section has re-dedicated itself to organizing the highest quality scientific program at the annual meeting, thereby providing a forum to engender interaction and exchange of ideas among scientists from disparate fields. The goal is to raise awareness of recent, fundamental advances in our understanding of aging biology and facilitate translation into clinical interventions. We propose a single-track program featuring emerging concepts in the basic biology of aging with the highest translational potential that will promote discussion and networking among speakers and conference attendees across sections, particularly between the BS and Health Sciences Sections. The meeting will also provide opportunities for talented junior investigators to have a prominent role in BS symposia. Scientific sessions and overall meeting logistics will be evaluated to implement quality improvement for the subsequent year and to provide continuity for symposium themes.
