 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2016 Biomechanics and Neural Control of Movement meeting will bring together experts in musculoskeletal biomechanics, neuroscience, muscle physiology, clinical medicine, and biomedical engineering on the 20th anniversary of a seminal meeting on the same topic. The 1996 meeting had a profound impact on human movement science. Many of the world's best scientists and engineers studying motor control and rehabilitation interacted directly with postdoctoral scholars and graduate students at a small, isolated conference center. A large percentage of the graduate students and postdoctoral scholars that attended the 1996 meeting went on to become leaders in their fields. We will hold the 2016 Biomechanics and Neural Control of Movement meeting at the same conference center in Mt. Sterling, OH, and use a similar meeting format to generate open discussion and debate about the current state of the science of human movement control and rehabilitation. The meeting will have a single presentation track to bring together all 120 attendees in one room and extensive time will be scheduled for discussions around the presentations. This proposal seeks to obtain funding for 20 graduate student/postdoctoral researcher travel awards in order to defray costs of attendance for the next generation of human movement science scholars. At least half of the travel awards will go to individuals from underrepresented backgrounds based on race, ethnicity, disability status, or sex. The meeting will also include a one-to-one mentoring program for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars to foster networking and interaction between attendees from different institutions. The requested funds will help make the meeting available to a wider possible audience and encourage the success of future biomedical research leaders.

 描述（由申请人提供）：2016 年生物力学和运动神经控制会议将汇集肌肉骨骼生物力学、神经科学、肌肉生理学、临床医学和生物医学工程领域的专家，纪念同一主题的开创性会议 20 周年。 1996年的会议对人体运动科学产生了深远的影响。许多研究运动控制和康复的世界上最优秀的科学家和工程师在一个小型、孤立的会议中心与博士后学者和研究生直接互动。参加 1996 年会议的研究生和博士后学者中有很大一部分后来成为各自领域的领导者。我们将在俄亥俄州斯特林山的同一会议中心举办 2016 年生物力学和运动神经控制会议，并使用类似的会议形式就人体运动控制和康复科学的现状进行公开讨论和辩论。会议将采用单一演示轨道，将所有 120 名与会者聚集在一个房间，并将安排大量时间围绕演示进行讨论。该提案旨在为 20 名研究生/博士后研究员旅行奖励获得资金，以支付下一代人体运动科学学者的就读费用。至少一半的旅行奖励将颁发给来自种族、民族、残疾状况或性别的代表性不足的个人。会议还将包括针对研究生和博士后学者的一对一指导计划，以促进来自不同机构的与会者之间的联系和互动。所请求的资金将有助于使会议向更广泛的受众开放，并鼓励未来生物医学研究领导者取得成功。
