Society of Behavioral Medicine Annual Meeting & Scientific Sessions

行为医学学会（SBM）将于2007年4月在佛罗里达州迈阿密海滩举行第28届年会。 SBM是全国首屈一指的多学科组织，致力于行为医学，代表超过2800 行为和生物医学研究人员和临床医生，包括许多国家领先的癌症预防和 控制研究人员。SBM的年度会议是最大的年度科学会议，专门讨论 行为医学，并被视为该领域最重要和最有影响力的研究和实践的论坛。 SBM的多学科成员提供了一系列的专业知识，涵盖基础和生物行为研究 机制，应用癌症筛查，健康传播和信息学，健康促进，流行病学， 监测、卫生服务、癌症存活率以及扩散和传播。SBM研究人员，个人和 在与社区和政府机构的战略伙伴关系，正在努力解决健康的关键优先领域 人物2010年。每年SBM的年度计划中有很大一部分明确涉及癌症预防， 检测、治疗和生存问题。此外，方案的很大一部分涉及跨领域问题 与许多健康状况相关（例如，坚持、将研究转化为实践、寿命、多样性/少数群体 健康）。 SBM年会的主要目的是：1）为新研究的交流提供一个论坛， 关于健康和行为相互作用的临床数据; 2）提供关于最近进展的深入介绍， 行为干预改善健康; 3）增加研究人员之间的科学交流， 4）解决行为医学在不断变化的卫生保健环境中的作用; 5）检查策略 促进研究证据在临床实践和公共卫生项目中的应用;以及6）促进 在行为医学方面发展新的跨学科教育和培训工作。 这项提案寻求为今后五年（2007-2011年）的方案拟订工作提供资金，以实现《千年宣言》的广泛愿景。 癌症控制和人口科学部（DCCPS）通过发现减少癌症负担， 制定和实施创新和全面的癌症预防和控制战略。符合 根据NIH路线图的主要主题，赠款资金将使学会能够：1）招募杰出的基础科学家 和信息学/技术专家，以解决行为医学发现的新途径; 2）功能研究 未来团队正在开发和测试跨学科团队科学的新模型， 传统的合作界限; 3）传播关于在翻译科学文献方面建立有效伙伴关系的研究结果 发现转化为有意义的治疗和干预，并提供会议活动， 下一代行为医学科学家为临床研究企业重新注入活力。

The Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM) will hold its 28 annual meeting in April 2007 in Miami Beach, FL. SBM is the nation's premier multi-disciplinary organization dedicated to behavioral medicine, representing over 2,800 behavioral and biomedical researchers and clinicians including many of the nation's leading cancer prevention and control researchers. SBM's annual meetings represent the largest annual scientific sessions devoted exclusively to behavioral medicine, and are regarded as a forum for the field's most important and influential research and practice. The multidisciplinary membership of SBM provides a range of expertise that spans research in basic and biobehavioral mechanisms, applied cancer screening, health communication and informatics, health promotion, epidemiology, surveillance, health services, cancer survivorship, and diffusion and dissemination. SBM researchers, individually and in strategic partnerships with community and government agencies, are working to address key priority areas in Healthy People 2010. Each year a substantial proportion of SBM's annual program explicitly addresses cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship issues. In addition, a large portion of program covers cross-cutting issues relevant to numerous health conditions (e.g., adherence, translation of research to practice, lifespan, diversity/minority health). The primary aims of SBM's annual meeting are: 1) To provide a forum for the exchange of new research and clinical data on the interactions of health and behavior; 2) To provide in-depth presentations on recent advances in behavioral interventions for health improvement; 3) To increase the scientific exchange between researchers and clinicians; 4) To address behavioral medicine's role in the changing health care environment; 5) To examine strategies for facilitating the application of research evidence to clinical practice and public health programs; and 6) To promote the development of new interdisciplinary education and training efforts in behavioral medicine. This proposal seeks funding for the next five years (2007-2011) for programming that addresses the broad vision of the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) in reducing the burden of cancer through discovery, development, and delivery of innovative and comprehensive cancer prevention and control strategies. Consistent with the major themes of the NIH Roadmap, grant funds would enable the Society to: 1) recruit outstanding basic scientists and informatics/technology experts to address New Pathways to Discovery in behavioral medicine; 2) feature Research Teams of the Future that are developing and testing new models of transdisciplinary team science that extend beyond traditional boundaries of collaboration; and 3) disseminate findings about effective partnerships in translating scientific discoveries into meaningful treatments and interventions, and provide conference activities geared toward training the next generation of behavioral medicine scientists to Re-energize the Clinical Research Enterprise.
