25th National Neurotrauma Symposium, 2007

描述（由申请人提供）：我们正在请求支持基础科学研究生，医学生，居民和博士后研究员参加第25届全国神经创伤研讨会。国家神经创伤研讨会是介绍中枢神经系统损伤的病理生理学和治疗的最新研究的主要论坛。第25届全国神经创伤研讨会（2007年）的具体目标是：1。提供一个论坛，介绍，讨论和反馈有关神经创伤研究的最新发现，并鼓励那些新的领域和那些有丰富的经验之间的互动。2.由不直接参与神经创伤研究的研究人员进行相关和发人深省的演讲。其目标是促进新的想法和思维方式进入主流神经创伤，以及鼓励来自其他学科的科学家从事神经创伤研究。3.鼓励学习神经创伤领域的学生的参与和教育。研讨会通过大型海报会议，学生口头公开交流会议，学生海报比赛，社交聚会，学生旅游奖励和补贴学生注册费来促进学生参与。4.继续鼓励妇女和少数群体的研究人员参与神经创伤研究。研讨会是由妇女在神经创伤研究，在临床和实验室神经创伤研究的妇女专业社会主办的科学和社会活动的论坛2007年研讨会的计划将具有21个特邀讲座，12个选定的学生/博士后摘要的口头报告，4个海报会议，共约300张海报，和学生海报比赛。这些令人兴奋的新领域的介绍将促进神经创伤研究，从而为头部和脊髓损伤患者的治疗和康复带来新技术。该项目与公共卫生的直接相关性在于新思想的交流和关于将实验室发现推进临床实践的辩论。学生，基础科学家，临床科学家和执业临床医生聚集在一起，介绍和讨论他们在神经创伤领域的最新发现和进展。特别努力积极吸引学生参与并与领先的基础科学家和临床医生互动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting support for basic science graduate students, medical students, residents and postdoctoral fellows to participate in the 25th annual National Neurotrauma Symposium. The National Neurotrauma Symposium is the primary forum for the presentation of the most current research on the pathophysiology and treatment of central nervous system injury. The Specific Aims of the 25th annual National Neurotrauma Symposium (2007) are: 1. To provide a forum for the presentation, discussion and feedback regarding the most recent findings in Neurotrauma research and to encourage interaction between those new to the field and those with extensive experience. 2. To have relevant and thought-provoking presentations by researchers not directly involved in Neurotrauma research. The goal is to foster new ideas and ways of thinking into mainstream Neurotrauma as well as to encourage scientist from other disciplines to engage in Neurotrauma research. 3. To encourage the participation and education of students studying in the field of Neurotrauma. The Symposium fosters student participation through large poster sessions, student oral open-communication sessions, student poster competition, social mixers, student travel awards, and subsidized student registration fees. 4. To continue to encourage the involvement of researchers from women and minority groups in Neurotrauma research. The Symposium is the forum for scientific and social activities hosted by Women in Neurotrauma Research, the professional society for women in clinical and laboratory Neurotrauma research The program for the 2007 Symposium will feature 21 invited lectures, 12 oral presentations of selected student/postdoctoral abstracts, 4 poster sessions with a total of approximately 300 posters, and a student poster competition. The presentation of these exciting new areas will foster Neurotrauma research that will lead to new techniques for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients afflicted with head and spinal cord injury. The direct relevance of this project to public health rests in the exchange of new ideas and the debate generated regarding advancing laboratory findings into clinical practice. Students, basic scientists, clinician-scientists, and practicing clinicians come together to present and discuss their latest discoveries and advancements in the field of Neurotrauma. Particular efforts are made to actively engage students to participate and interact with leading basic scientists and clinicians.
