Support for Junior Investigators at the Orthopaedic Research Society Musculoskeletal Biology Workshop; Sun Valley, Idaho; August 6-9, 2017

该基金将支持参加2017年8月6日至9日在爱达荷州太阳谷举行的第47届骨科研究学会肌肉骨骼生物学研讨会的年轻研究人员。工作坊强调青年教师和学生的积极参与；促进跨学科交流；讨论的时间等于或超过了正式演讲的时间，这是不寻常的。研讨会的目标是(1)致力于分子、细胞、组织和生物力学过程的多学科基础和临床综合，从而了解肌肉骨骼疾病的发病机制、预防和治疗；(2)将基础科学概念应用于临床问题，在基础研究人员和临床研究人员之间建立跨学科合作的对话；(3)识别肌肉骨骼疾病的问题和提供解决方案的实验方法；(4)为学生培训提供论坛，并为初级科学家提供在小组环境中与更高级科学家交谈的机会。研讨会将继续以“解决问题，提出解决方案”为主题，针对罕见疾病纤维性发育不良的基础科学以及慢性退行性椎间盘疾病问题。四场会议将讨论相关和重要的当前问题，包括下一代肌肉骨骼疗法的进展，肌肉骨骼组织的成像，工程动物疾病模型的局限性和解决方案，以及有限元在临床和基础科学研究中的应用。这个研讨会的一个显著特点是，它正在成为一个真正的肌肉骨骼研讨会，考虑骨骼以外的肌肉骨骼问题。为初级调查人员提供了许多与高级调查人员互动的机会。一个下午将举行一个专门针对年轻研究人员的职业发展讲习班。该奖项将为参加本次会议的10名年轻研究人员提供旅行奖励。他们将参加完整的会议和一个专门的周日晚上的会议，专门用于海报展示，在讲台上做一些简短的海报展示。他们的所有摘要将在研讨会之前发布在ORS网站上供公众查阅。

This grant will support young investigators at the 47th annual meeting of the Orthopaedic Research Society Musculoskeletal Biology Workshop being held in Sun Valley, Idaho, August 6-9, 2017. The workshop emphasizes active participation of junior faculty and students; promote interdisciplinary communication; and are unusual in that discussion time equals or exceeds time allotted for formal presentation. The goals of the workshop are to (1) Work toward a multidisciplinary basic and clinical synthesis of molecular, cellular, tissue and biomechanical processes that leads to understand the pathogenesis of musculoskeletal diseases, prevention and treatment; (2) Apply basic science concepts to clinical problems, developing a dialogue between basic and clinical investigators towards interdisciplinary collaboration; (3) Identify problems in musculoskeletal disease and experimental approaches that provide solutions to them; (4) Provide a forum for student training and the opportunity for junior scientists to talk with more senior scientists in a small group setting.The workshop will continue the theme, "Solving Problems, Suggesting Solutions", targeting the basic science of the rare disease Fibrous Dysplasia and also of the chronic problem of Degenerative Disc Disease. Four sessions will address relevant and significant current problems, including progress in next-generation musculoskeletal therapies, imaging of musculoskeletal tissues, limitations and solutions for engineered animal models of disease, and finite element applications to clinical and basic science research. A notable feature of this Workshop is that it is becoming a truly musculoskeletal workshop, considering problems of musculoskeletal conditions beyond bone. Many opportunities are provided for junior investigators to interact with more senior investigators. A Career Development Workshop specifically geared toward young investigators will be held during one afternoon. This award will support travel awards for ten young investigators to attend this meeting. They will participate in the full meeting and in a special Sunday evening session devoted entirely to poster presentations, with some short poster presentations from the podium. All of their abstracts will be posted for public viewing on the ORS website prior to the Workshop.
