AUA/SBUR 2004 Summer Research Conference - Neurourology

描述（由申请人提供）： 美国泌尿外科协会研究办公室（AUA）和基础泌尿外科研究学会（SBUR）联合主办了一年一度的SBUR/AUA夏季研究会议，题为“神经泌尿学”。“会议将于2004年8月13日至15日在弗吉尼亚州雷斯顿举行。这是该系列的第十二次会议。这些会议的目的是将来自泌尿外科研究领域内外的研究人员与初级研究人员聚集在一起，审查与泌尿外科研究相关的主题的进展。2004年会议的目的是综述神经泌尿学的研究进展，以及神经和神经递质在泌尿生殖系统发育、功能和功能障碍中的相互作用。会议将在两天半的时间内包括5个主题会议，包括最先进的讲座和小组讨论。会议将涵盖神经支配和泌尿生殖系统的发展，神经和正常的泌尿生殖系统结构，泌尿生殖系统对神经损伤和神经血管疾病的反应，以及骨盆疼痛。此外，还将举办一次特别辅导班，以鼓励和协助年轻调查员进入实地并在实地站稳脚跟。要求提供资金，以支付初级调查员的差旅费和住房费用，因为如果没有这种支助，他们中的许多人就无法出席。对本次会议的支持将通过吸引年轻或新研究者的精力和兴趣并促进其职业发展来促进未来上级泌尿外科研究的发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Urological Association Office of Research (AUA) and the Society for Basic Urologic Research (SBUR) are jointing sponsoring the annual SBUR/AUA Summer Research Conference, entitled "Neurourology." The meeting will be held August 13 through 15, 2004 in Reston, Virginia. This is the twelfth conference in this series. The purpose of these conferences is to bring together established investigators, both from within the field of urology research and from outside the field, together with junior investigators to review advances in a topic related to urologic research. The 2004 conference is organized to provide an overview of research progress on neurourology, and the interaction of nerves and neurotransmitters on genitourinary development, function and dysfunction. The conference will include 5 topic sessions over two and one-half days, including state-of-the-art lectures and panel discussions. The sessions will cover ennervation and genitourinary development, nerves and normal genitourinary structures, genitourinary tract responses to nerve injury and neurovascular disease, and pelvic pain. In addition, a special mentoring session will be held to encourage and assist young investigators to enter and become established in the field. Funding is requested to support the travel and housing for junior investigators, many of whom could not attend without this support. Support for this meeting will enhance the development of superior urology research in the future by engaging the energies and interest of the young or new investigator and facilitating his or her career development.
