CCBAR Workshop 2006-2007

描述(由申请者提供)：芝加哥人口健康和老龄化研究中的生物标记物核心将举办第四届和第五届年度研讨会，以召集在人口研究中收集生物数据的研究人员。 具体目标：在参加研讨会期间，与会者将： 1)探索生物生理指标在人口老龄化和老龄化中的应用 健康研究的具体目标是： A.预测健康和社会行为和/或决策 B.衡量过去或现在的健康和社会行为和/或决策 2)研究行为和/或决策的生物生理学指标如何随年龄和生命历程事件而变化。 3)认真考虑整合新的方法，包括技术和实验，用于基于人口的老龄化和健康研究。 4)利用跨学科和全球协作的新机会，并了解如何应对随之而来的资金和后勤挑战。 设计：这个受邀的研讨会旨在吸引跨学科的受众，利用演讲者和参与者之间的多种互动模式进行正式和非正式的学习、思想交流和建立关系。研讨会在芝加哥市中心举行，为期1.5天，包括12个小时的研讨会，包括参与者介绍、口头演示、小组讨论、案例研究和促进讨论。 芝加哥基于人口的健康和老龄化研究中的生物标记物核心将举办第四届和第五届年度研讨会，通过问卷调查和生物数据收集收集数据，将研究人口健康和老龄化的研究人员聚集在一起。这次研讨会的重点是数据收集、分享最佳实践和协作网络的创新方法，将提供一个科学陈述和讨论的场所。通过参加这次研讨会，研究人员将增加他们在世界各地正在进行的研究中收集生物数据的知识，并进一步了解生物数据收集在以人口为基础的研究中的用处和可能性；所有这些都是为了增进健康和福祉。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Chicago Core on Biomarkers in Population-Based Health and Aging Research will hold the 4th and 5th Annual Workshops in order to convene researchers who collect biological data in population-based studies. Specific Objectives: During attendance at the Workshops, attendees will: 1) Explore the applications of biophysiological measures in population-based aging and health research specifically aimed at: a. predicting health and social behavior and/or decision-making b. measuring past or current health and social behavior and/or decision-making 2) Examine how biophysiological measures of behavior and/or decision-making may change with age and life course events. 3) Critically consider integration of novel methodologies, including technologies and experiments, for use in population-based aging and health research. 4) Be availed of new opportunities for interdisciplinary and global collaboration and gain an understanding of how to address accompanying funding and logistical challenges. Design: This invited workshop is designed to appeal to an interdisciplinary audience, using multiple modes of interaction between presenters and participants for formal and informal learning, idea exchange, and relationship-building. The workshop sessions, structured over 1.5 days in the heart of downtown Chicago, include 12 hours in workshop sessions that include participant introductions, oral presentation, panel discussion, case study, and facilitated discussion. The Chicago Core on Biomarkers in Population-Based Health and Aging Research will hold the 4th and 5th Annual Workshops to bring together researchers who study heath and aging in the population by collecting data through both questionnaires and biological data collection. Focusing on innovative methods of data collection, sharing best practices, and networking for collaboration, this workshop will provide a venue for scientific presentation and discussion. By attending this workshop, researchers will increase their knowledge of biological data collection in research occurring throughout the world and further learn the usefulness and possibilities of biological data collection in population-based research; all with the purpose of advancing health and well-being.
