 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting funds to support the 45th Annual Meeting of the American Aging Association to be held June 3rd to June 6th at the Edgewater Hotel and Bell Harbor Conference Center, Seattle, Washington. This meeting is one of the premier meetings for biogerontological research and is the only annual meeting sponsored by a professional membership organization in the United States that limits its focus to biomedical issues in aging. The theme of the meeting is "Targeting Aging: The Ultimate in Preventative Medicine". Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, President of AGE, together with the AGE Program Committee (Drs. Anson, Buffenstein, Nelson, Perez-Olsen, and Promislow), Session Chairs, and the AGE Executive Board organize the scientific program. The overall objective is to convene scientists and trainees from multiple disciplines in a forum for presentation and critical debate of the lates discoveries in aging research and to stimulate forward thinking and collaboration among participants. Funds are requested to help cover travel expenses of 1) invited speakers and 2) meritorious junior scientists (students, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty) who can benefit from exposure to the leaders of the field, present their research findings and have the opportunity to contribute and get feedback from experts in the field. The specific goals of this meeting are a) to assemble a broad-based forum of basic and clinical scientists to present findings that utilize novel methods, uncover new mechanisms and have potential for development of therapeutics that may enhance quality and length of healthy life; b) to highlight important research areas not recently covered at meetings; c) to encourage open discussion and debate; and d) to emphasize integrative and translational research opportunities. The invited speakers include renowned scientists in aging and related disciplines selected for their science and ability to stimulate debate. When selecting session topics, a particular effort was placed on keeping with the meeting theme of aging research as "The Ultimate Preventative Medicine" by highlighting basic research with clear translational potential for improving healthy aging in people. These include recent high profile work on Systemic Factors and Senescence, including circulating hormones and molecules that can perhaps be manipulated therapeutically; an entire session devoted to work aimed at identifying and validating Interventions That Promote Healthy Aging; and a session titled From bench to clinic: Translational approaches to healthy aging that will present results from the first efforts to apply discoveries from aging research in a clinical setting. These more translational sessions will be complemented by sessions focused squarely on important fundamental advances in the fast moving areas of the field such as Mechanisms of Cellular Homeostasis and Conserved mechanisms of healthy aging. We believe that all of the symposia topics are timely, and should stimulate discussion, collaborative endeavors and the development of possible therapeutic targets.

 描述（由申请人提供）：我们正在申请资金支持将于 6 月 3 日至 6 日在华盛顿州西雅图的埃奇沃特酒店和贝尔港会议中心举行的美国老龄化协会第 45 届年会。这次会议是生物老年学研究的重要会议之一，也是唯一由美国专业会员组织主办的年会，其重点仅限于老龄化生物医学问题。会议的主题是“瞄准老龄化：预防医学的终极目标”。 AGE 主席 Matt Kaeberlein 博士与 AGE 计划委员会（Anson、Buffenstein、Nelson、Perez-Olsen 和 Promislow 博士）、会议主席以及 AGE 执行委员会一起组织科学计划。总体目标是召集来自多个学科的科学家和学员参加一个论坛，对衰老研究的最新发现进行展示和批判性辩论，并激发参与者之间的前瞻性思维和合作。申请资金用于支付 1) 特邀演讲者和 2) 杰出青年科学家（学生、博士后研究员和青年教师）的旅费，他们可以受益于与该领域的领导者接触、展示他们的研究成果，并有机会做出贡献并获得该领域专家的反馈。本次会议的具体目标是：a) 组建一个由基础和临床科学家组成的基础广泛的论坛，展示利用新方法、发现新机制并具有开发可提高健康生活质量和长度的治疗方法的潜力的发现； b) 强调会议最近未涉及的重要研究领域； c) 鼓励公开讨论和辩论； d) 强调综合性和转化性研究机会。受邀演讲者包括老龄化及相关学科领域的知名科学家，他们因其科学性和激发辩论的能力而被选中。在选择会议主题时，我们特别注重与衰老研究的会议主题“终极预防医学”保持一致，强调具有改善人类健康老龄化的明确转化潜力的基础研究。其中包括最近关于系统因素和衰老的备受瞩目的工作，包括可能可以进行治疗操作的循环激素和分子；整个会议专门讨论旨在确定和验证促进健康老龄化的干预措施的工作；题为“从实验室到临床：健康老龄化的转化方法”的会议将介绍将衰老研究的发现应用于临床环境的初步努力的结果。这些更具转化性的会议将由专门关注该领域快速发展领域的重要基本进展的会议作为补充，例如细胞稳态机制和健康衰老的保守机制。我们相信所有研讨会主题都是及时的，并且应该激发讨论、合作努力和可能的治疗目标的开发。
