Arthritis Research Conference 2005

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案为2005年关节炎研究会议申请部分资金，该会议将由关节炎基金会，美国风湿病学会和NIAMS联合赞助。会议将于2005年6月17日至19日在佐治亚州亚特兰大市万年青万豪会议中心举行。会议的主要目的是通过一个有利于讨论新技术方法和发起新的科学合作的多学科会议环境，提供机会，加强年轻研究人员的教育和网络机会。参加人数限制为400人。我们还将邀请根据其专门知识和兴趣选定的高级研究人员，他们将从会议的激励和富有成效的环境中作出贡献和受益。全体讲座将由杰出的调查人员提供，他们还将主持会议和讲习班，并与受训者互动。全体会议，“理解炎症”，将致力于对所有与会者普遍感兴趣的基本问题的不同观点。基础科学研讨会将致力于“建立新的关节”，以及参与这些组织的发育和疾病相关破坏的不同细胞类型的相互作用。临床科学研讨会将集中讨论“了解风湿病的进展”。八个讲习班将使选定的受训者能够介绍他们的研究。此外，将有三次海报会议，所有剩下的学员将有机会展示他们的作品。总的来说，会议的中心目标是在非正式的气氛中提供一个互动的会议，促进对关节炎发病机理和相关肌肉骨骼疾病的科学基础的全面讨论。会议将努力促进学员和来自非常不同背景的资深科学家之间有意义的互动，讨论当前的工作，并激发新的倡议和协作互动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial funding for Arthritis Research Conference, 2005, which will be held under the joint sponsorship of the Arthritis Foundation, the American College of Rheumatology, and NIAMS. The meeting will be held June 17-19, 2005 at the Evergreen Marriott Conference Center, Atlanta GA. The primary aim of the conference is to provide opportunities that enhance the educational and network opportunities of young investigators, through a multi-disciplinary conference environment conducive to discussions of new technical approaches and the initiation of novel scientific collaborations. Participation will be limited to 400 attendees. We will also invite selected senior researchers, identified based on their expertise and interests, who will contribute and benefit from the stimulating and productive environment of the Conference. Plenary lectures will be provided by distinguished investigators, who will also chair sessions and workshops, and interact with trainees. The plenary session, "Understanding Inflammation", will be devoted to diverse perspectives on fundamental questions of general interest to all participants. The Basic Science Symposium will be devoted to "Building New Joints", and the interplay of different cell types involved in the development and disease-associated destruction of these tissues. The Clinical Sciences Symposium will focus on "Advances in Understanding Rheumatic Diseases". Eight workshops will enable selected trainees to present their research. In addition, there will be three poster sessions, at which all remaining trainees will have an opportunity to present their work. Overall, the central goal of the conference is to provide an interactive meeting in an informal atmosphere that facilitates comprehensive discussion of the scientific basis of arthritis pathogenesis and related musculoskeletal diseases. The Conference will strive to promote meaningful interactions between trainees and senior scientists from very diverse backgrounds to discuss current work, as well as stimulate new initiatives and collaborative interactions.
