48th Annual Orthopedic Research Society (ORS) Musculoskeletal Biology Workshop; Sun Valley, Idaho; July 24-28, 2019

太阳谷肌肉骨骼生物学研讨会强调初级教员和学生/研究员的积极参与。这一奖项的资金将用于支持初级调查人员的竞争性旅行奖项，这些初级调查人员将能够向多学科的受众展示他们的研究，并与该领域的领导者建立网络。旅行奖获得者还将与资深调查人员一起参加一对一指导。研讨会将围绕解决问题和广泛的讨论来组织，而不仅仅是演讲。会议将包括一个突出在研讨会上展示的海报的项目：“蓝丝带太阳谷海报”。作者将选择10张海报进行3分钟的总结陈述。其目的是突出最重要的海报，在许多情况下是年轻的调查员海报，并引起人们对参观海报的兴趣。职业和职业发展会议，包括“浏览FDA”和“职业过渡：规划和谈判职业发展”，是计划中的。肌肉骨骼系统(肌肉、肌腱、骨骼)对机械负荷高度敏感，之前太阳谷会议上的许多年轻研究人员都向生物力学和机械生物学项目提交了申请。该研讨会基于其独特的问题解决重点和多学科参与者小组，继续作为肌肉骨骼系统机械生物学领域未来科学家的重要培训场所之一。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Sun Valley Workshop on Musculoskeletal Biology emphasizes active participation of junior faculty and students/fellows. Funds from this award will support competitive travel awards for junior investigators who will be able to present their research to a multidisciplinary audience and network with leaders in the field. Travel award recipients will also participate in one-on-one mentoring with senior investigators. The workshop will be organized around problem solving and extensive discussion, rather than just presentation. The meeting will include a program to highlight posters presented at the workshop: "Blue Ribbon Sun Valley Posters." Ten posters will be chosen for 3 minute summary presentations by the authors. The intent is to highlight the most significant posters, in many cases young investigator posters, and generate interest in visiting the posters. Career and professional development sessions, including "Navigating the FDA" and "Career Transitions: Planning and Negotiating for Career Advancement," are planned. The musculoskeletal system (muscles, tendon, bone) is highly sensitive to mechanical load, and many younger investigators from previous Sun Valley meetings have submitted applications to the Biomechanics and Mechanobiology program. This workshop continues as one of the important training venues for future scientists in the area of mechanobiology of the musculoskeletal system based on its unique problem solving focus and the multidisciplinary group of participants.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
