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

描述(由申请者提供)：本提案请求国家老龄研究所为GSA生物科学(BS)部门组织的2014-2015年度会议提供资金支持。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，就会出现老龄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老龄化的基本机制以及旨在改善老龄化和老年相关疾病的干预措施的有效性时，将有助于改善临床护理和国民健康。此外，我们认识到我们有责任向BS成员以及GSA的其他成员提供最新的尖端、高质量的科学，最终将改善所有参与者的研究。GSA的年度会议是美国唯一有能力促进这种跨学科方法进行老龄化研究的会议。GSA BS科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之间的互动和思想交流提供了一个论坛。其目标是提高人们对我们对衰老生物学理解的最新基本进展的认识，并促进将其转化为临床干预措施。我们提出了一个单轨计划，以具有最高翻译潜力的衰老基础生物学中的新兴概念为特色，将促进不同部门的演讲者和与会者之间的讨论和网络，特别是在BS和Health Science部门之间。会议还将为有才华的初级调查人员提供机会，让他们在BS研讨会上发挥重要作用。将对科学会议和总体会议后勤进行评价，以实施下一年的质量改进，并为专题讨论会的主题提供连续性。

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.
