American Society for Neurochemistry Conference

描述(由申请人提供)： 请求为将于2003年5月3日至8日在加利福尼亚州纽波特海滩举行的美国神经化学学会下一届年会以及随后的两届ASN年会提供支助。为ASN前三次会议提供的资金对于支持ASN的科学计划和提高我们接触研究生和博士后研究人员的能力来说是非常宝贵的。为了适应神经化学的广度，并提供对特定主题的深入阐述，2003年的计划继续就四个相互交织但不同的主题举行一系列研讨会、座谈会和研讨会，以增加我们对神经发育和疾病的细胞和分子基础的理解。其中几次会议包含了来自不止一个主题的元素，这种智力上的重叠加强了科学互动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for the next Annual Meeting of the American Society for Neurochemistry to be held in Newport Beach, CA from 3-8 May 2003 and for the subsequent two ASN annual meetings. Funds provided for three previous meetings of the ASN have been invaluable for supporting the ASN's scientific programs and for enhancing our ability to reach graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. To accommodate the breadth of neurochemistry and provide indepth expositions of particular topics, the 2003 program continues a series of Symposia, Colloquia and Workshops on four interwoven, but distinct, themes that have been selected so as to increase our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of neural development and disease. Several of the sessions contain elements from more than one theme, and such intellectual overlaps enhance scientific interactions.
