22ND PRINCETON CONFERENCE ON CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE

我们寻求对第22届普林斯顿脑血管疾病会议的支持。四十多年来，这个两年一度的会议将基础和临床初级和高级研究人员聚集在一起，反思中风研究的现状，并制定未来的合作和研究项目，旨在进一步了解疾病的发病机制和开发新的治疗方法。会议将于2000年3月10日(星期五)至3月12日(星期日)在加利福尼亚州的雷德伍德城举行，由斯坦福大学医学院主办。会议将限于130名对脑血管疾病或与脑血管疾病相关的特殊专业知识特别感兴趣的与会者。受邀者将包括目前活跃在中风研究中的临床和长凳科学家，以及来自其他相关学科的关键科学家。将特别努力邀请青年科学家以及来自代表性不足的少数民族的科学家。NIH在这里寻求的资金将专门用于使60名年轻研究人员，包括妇女和代表性不足的少数群体，能够参加会议。组织者计划筹集其他资金，以帮助支付高级调查人员的费用。被选中进行严格审查的主题将是对中风治疗中的临床问题产生影响的基础和临床脑血管疾病研究的关键领域。会议记录将会公布。会议的总体目标是为中风研究的未来方向产生一个愿景。

We seek support for the 22nd Princeton Conference on Cerebrovascular Disease. For more than four decades, this biennial conference has brought both basic and clinical junior and senior investigators together to reflect on the current state of stroke research, and to formulate future collaborations and research projects aimed at furthering the understanding of disease pathogenesis and the development of new treatments. The conference will be held from Friday, March 10, 2000 to Sunday, March 12, 2000 in Redwood City, California and will be hosted by Stanford University School of Medicine. The conference will be limited to 130 participants with a special interest in cerebrovascular disease or special expertise relevant to cerebrovascular disease. Invitees will include clinical and bench scientists currently active in stroke research, as well as key scientists from other related disciplines. A special effort will be made to invite young scientists, as well as scientists from under-represented minorities. The NIH funding sought here will be dedicated to enabling 60 young investigators, including women and under-represented minorities, to attend the Conference. The organizers plan to raise other funds to help with the expenses of senior investigators. The topics selected for intense scrutiny will be the key areas of basic and clinical cerebrovascular disease research that have an impact on clinical issues in stroke management. The proceedings will be published. The overall goal of the conference is to generate a vision for future directions in stroke research.
