FASEB SRC: The Translational Neuroimmunology Conference: From Bench to Bedside and Back

项目摘要 本R13提案的目的是支持受训人员、年轻调查人员和个人的出席 在2022年FASEB会议上，在科学和医学领域历史上代表性不足：翻译 神经免疫学：从长凳到床边和背部。这将是第15届FASE B神经免疫学双年展 第一次会议于1988年举行。本次会议将于2022年8月29日至9月2日举行。 在北卡罗来纳州阿什维尔的文艺复兴阿什维尔酒店。神经免疫学是最快的 不断增长的生物医学研究领域。它也是最富有成效的成功案例之一 将湿工作台的发现转化为有效的临床疗法。这次会议的总体意图是 汇聚世界顶尖的科学家、青年研究人员和实习生，他们从事 在大学和支持性环境中，从广泛的角度进行神经免疫学研究。这个 具体目标是：1)提供一个论坛，展示未发表的关于免疫的前沿研究- 来自不同背景的演讲者在健康和疾病期间的神经系统互动；2)提供 就健康和疾病中的神经免疫途径进行正式和非正式讨论的机会， 影响这些途径的环境和遗传因素，以及将科学见解转化为 神经免疫学从“工作台到床边”；3)支持年轻研究人员的参与，特别是 那些传统上在实地代表性不足的人，并促进他们融入更广泛的研究 以有意义和互动的方式建立社区；(4)促进严格、透明和均衡的原则 研究的进行和评估。该计划是有意多方面的，以确保与会者 从事神经免疫学研究的不同方面的工作有机会与 相互补充的兴趣和专长领域，无论是一对一的还是在小组环境中。议事日程 由单一轨道中的一系列连续会话组成，没有竞争的演讲，并且未计划 下午是鼓励非正式交流的时间。会议的这些集体特点将促进 各种形式的集思广益和辅导。当务之急是激励女性科学家、学习者和 来自传统上在科学和医学领域代表性不足的团体的初级教员，并将 这些人有榜样、未来的导师和同龄人，从而加强他们对 神经免疫学研究。为此，我们正在举办关于“如何与 临床医生和将湿工作台研究结果转化为人类研究“；”妇女和代表不足的少数群体“ 神经免疫学：挑战和机遇“；以及”研究中的科学严谨性和透明度“，AS 以及职业小组讨论“神经免疫学中的职业轨迹”。这次会议是专门设计的 为了促进湿凳科学家、临床试验者/研究人员之间的创造性伙伴关系和合作， 以及专注于神经免疫学的临床医生，最终导致该领域的临床进步。

Project Summary The purpose of this R13 proposal is to support the attendance of trainees, young investigators, and individuals historically underrepresented in science and medicine, at the 2022 FASEB Conference: Translational Neuroimmunology: From Bench to Bedside and Back. This will be the 15th biannual FASEB Neuroimmunology conference, the first having been held in 1988. The current meeting will be held August 29-September 2, 2022 at the Renaissance Asheville Hotel in Asheville, North Carolina. Neuroimmunology is one of the fastest growing fields in biomedical research. It has also been one of the most fruitful in terms of the successful translation of wet bench discoveries into impactful clinical therapies. The overall intent of this conference is to bring together the world’s leading scientists, young investigators, and trainees, who are engaged in neuroimmunology research from a broad range of perspectives, in a collegial and supportive environment. The specific goals are to: 1) provide a forum for the presentation of unpublished, cutting-edge research on immune- nervous system interactions during health and disease, by speakers from diverse backgrounds; 2) provide opportunities for both formal and informal discussions on neuroimmune pathways in health and disease, the environmental and genetic factors that influence those pathways, and efforts to translate scientific insights in neuroimmunology from “bench to bedside”; 3) support the participation of young investigators, particularly those traditionally under-represented in the field, and facilitate their integration into the broader research community in a meaningful and interactive way; (4) promote principles of rigor, transparency, and equipoise in the conduct and evaluation of research. The program is intentionally multifaceted to ensure that attendees working on different aspects of Neuroimmunology research have the opportunity to meet colleagues with complementary interests and areas of expertise, either one-on-one or in small group settings. The agenda consists of a series of sequential sessions in a single track, without competing talks, and unscheduled afternoon time to encourage informal communications. These collective features of the conference will facilitate brainstorming and mentoring in a variety of formats. A priority is to inspire women scientists, and learners and junior faculty from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in science and medicine, and to connect those individuals with role models, future mentors, and peers, thereby strengthening their commitment to Neuroimmunology research. To that end, we are introducing workshops on “How to Forge Collaborations with Clinicians and Translate Wet Bench Findings to Human Studies”; “Women and Under-represented Minorities in Neuroimmunology: Challenges and Opportunities”; and “Scientific Rigor and Transparency in Research”, as well as a career panel discussion on “Career Trajectories in Neuroimmunology”. This conference is designed to foster creative partnerships and collaborations between wet bench scientists, clinical trialists/ researchers, and clinicians who are focused on Neuroimmunology, ultimately leading to clinical advances in the field.
