Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior Annual Meet

请求提供支持，以加强吸食行为研究学会(SSIB)的年度会议。这次年度会议是美国参与基础和应用研究的科学家和临床医生的主要论坛。提议设立两个机制：1)设立青年研究人员奖，为杰出的美国研究生和博士后研究员出席年会并介绍他们的研究成果提供资金支持；2)设立由国立卫生研究院主办的专题讨论会，向成员通报相关领域的重要技术和概念进展。这次研讨会将允许SSIB邀请目前不是SSIB成员的其他领域的知名研究人员向我们的成员介绍他们的最新工作，并在整个年度会议期间与成员互动。这些计划将：1)促进年轻研究人员在进食行为研究领域的发展；2)提高进食行为研究的整体水平；3)转化为肥胖、饮食和代谢紊乱以及心血管调节等不同领域的新基础知识和改进临床实践。

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.
