International Scientific Conference on Prevention of Work Related Musculoskeletal

描述（由申请人提供）：第六届预防工作相关肌肉骨骼疾病国际科学会议（PREMUS 2007）的当地组委会旨在提高会议成果的参与度和质量。PREMUS是关于工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病（工作相关的MSD）预防的杰出国际会议，非常强调将研究与实践联系起来。会议目标包括：（1）进一步研究和传播最先进的有效干预措施，旨在预防工作中的肌肉骨骼疾病（2）汇集科学家、职业健康和安全从业人员、人体工程学家、工业工程师和决策者，明确意图是促进跨学科、跨学科、（3）提供一个国际平台，交流与职业性工作相关的肌肉骨骼研究和实践方面的知识和专业知识。PREMUS历来由注册费、实物捐助以及企业和教育界的财政支持提供资金。然而，学生、受伤工人代表、从业人员和其他利益攸关方的参与有限。为了从这次会议中获得预期的成果，当地的PREMUS组织委员会已经确定了补充资金的需求，其目标是：（1）对传统上没有参加过这次会议的新演讲者/参与者进行广泛的宣传;（2）招募学生并制定学生激励和奖励计划;（3）促进研究人员和从业人员之间的翻译伙伴关系;（4）促进研究人员和从业人员之间的合作。（4）设计一个协作的会后网络和新的战略来传播会议成果。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The local organizing committee for the Sixth International Scientific Conference on Prevention of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (PREMUS 2007) seeks to enhance the participation in and quality of outcomes from the conference. PREMUS is the pre-eminent international meeting on work-related Musculoskeletal Disorder (work-related MSD) prevention, with a strong emphasis on connecting research and practice. Conference objectives include: (1) To further research into and dissemination of state-of-the-art effective interventions aimed at the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders at work (2) To bring together scientists, practitioners in occupational health and safety, ergonomists, industrial engineers and policy makers, with the express intent of fostering cross-disciplinary, trans-disciplinary, and translational research into the etiology and prevention of work-related MSDs (3)To provide an international platform for the exchange of knowledge and expertise in musculoskeletal research and practice related to occupational work-related MSD prevention. PREMUS is historically funded from registration fees, in-kind contributions and financial support from the corporate and educational communities. However, the participation of students, injured worker representatives, practitioners and other stakeholders has been limited. To obtain the desired outcomes from this meeting, the local PREMUS organizing committee has identified the need for supplemental funding with the goal of: (1) Conducting broad outreach to new presenters/participants who traditionally have not attended this conference; (2) Recruiting students and developing student incentive and award programs; (3) Promoting translational partnerships between researchers and practitioners; and (4) Designing a collaborative post conference network and novel strategies to disseminate conference results.
