XIVth Little Brain Big Brain Meeting

会议摘要/摘要 提交此申请是为了请求支持第十四届小大脑大大脑会议， 将于2016年8月22日至25日在加州的加州大学圣克鲁斯校区举行。请拨资金用于 为神经胃肠病学领域崭露头角的年轻研究人员提供食物和住房费用支持 来自美国和国外的被选中参加会议。这次会议有着悠久的传统， 支持开放式交流的良好记录;促进科学发现和学习;桥接 基础科学和应用科学之间的差距;鼓励多样性。该会议通常在 在美国以外，并得到工业界赞助商的支持。因为这个小脑袋大脑袋会议 由于制药业最近的负面发展， 减少了他们对我们领域的支持，我们正在寻求美国国立卫生研究院的支持。 会议的科学内容将由成功参加会议的与会者决定。 申请参加，并将涵盖在神经胃肠病学和消化领域的研究广度 特别关注微生物组、发育、脑-肠轴、转化方法的疾病 以及新的目标和工具。每位参与者将口头介绍他们最近的工作，并 希望积极讨论他人的工作。会议日程安排了许多休息时间， 鼓励参与者之间的社会互动，并继续讨论科学内容。此经验证的 组织促进建立富有成效的合作，重要的早期职业生涯的科学家， 最终改变了研究领域。总的来说，第十四届小大脑大大脑会议将继续 基础科学与应用科学相结合，通过提供机会鼓励科学交流的传统 让年轻的研究人员满足和分享他们的研究目标，目的是促进合作 参与者之间的研究项目。

CONFERENCE SUMMARY / ABSTRACT This application is being submitted to request support for the XIVth Little Brain Big Brain meeting, which will be held from August 22-25, 2016 at the UC Santa Cruz campus in California. Funds are requested to support food and housing costs for up-and-coming young investigators in the field of neurogastroenterology from the United States and abroad selected to attend the meeting. This meeting has a long tradition and proven track record of supporting open communication; furthering scientific discovery and learning; bridging the gap between basic and applied science; and encouraging diversity. This conference is typically held outside the United States and supported by sponsors in industry. Because this Little Brain Big Brain meeting to be held in the United States and because recent negative developments in the pharmaceutical industry have reduced their level of support for our field, we are seeking support from the National Institutes of Health. The scientific content of the meeting will be determined by the participants who are successful in their applications to attend and will cover the breadth of study in the field of neurogastroenterology and digestive diseases with special attention on the microbiome, development, the brain-gut axis, translational approaches and novel targets and tools. Every participant will deliver an oral presentation of their most recent work and be expected to actively discuss the work of others. The schedule of the meeting is filled with many breaks to encourage social interaction between participants, and continued discussion of scientific content. This proven organization fosters the establishment of productive collaborations, important to the early careers of scientists, which ultimately transforms the field of study. Overall, the XIVth Little Brain Big Brain meeting will continue the tradition of uniting basic and applied science and encouraging scientific exchange by providing opportunities for young investigators to meet and share their research goals, with the objective of fostering collaborative research projects between participants.
