Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior Annual Meet

要求提供支持，以加强摄食行为研究学会（SSIB）的年会。这个年度会议是国家的主要论坛的科学家和临床医生参与基础和应用研究的摄食行为。提出了两种机制：1）设立青年研究者奖，为美国优秀的研究生和博士后研究员提供财政支持，使他们能够参加年会并介绍他们的研究成果; 2）设立NIH赞助的专题讨论会，向会员通报相关领域的重要技术和概念进展。本次研讨会将允许SSIB邀请来自其他领域的研究人员，他们目前不是SSIB成员，向我们的成员介绍他们的最新工作，并在整个年会期间与成员互动。这些方案将：1）促进摄食行为研究领域的年轻研究人员的发展，2）增加摄食行为研究的整体形象，3）转化为新的基础知识和改善肥胖，饮食和代谢紊乱等不同领域的临床实践，以及心血管调节。

Support is requested to enhance the annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior (SSIB). This annual meeting is the nation's principal forum for scientists and clinicians involved in basic and applied research in ingestive behavior. Two mechanisms are proposed: 1) establishment of young investigator awards to provide financial support for outstanding United States graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the annual meeting and present their research findings; 2) establishment of an NIH sponsored symposium to inform the membership of important technical and conceptual advances in related fields. This symposium will permit SSIB to invite established investigators from other fields who are not currently SSIB members to present their latest work to our membership and interact with the members throughout the annual meeting. These programs will: 1) foster the development of young investigators in the field of ingestive behavior research, 2) increase the overall profile of ingestive behavior research and, 3) translate into new basic knowledge and improved clinical practice in such diverse areas as obesity, eating and metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular regulation.
