ISHR 2013 World Congress

描述(由申请者提供)：本申请旨在为2012年6月30日至7月4日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行的国际心脏研究学会(ISHR)XXI世界大会寻求部分资金。自1968年成立以来，ISHR将老牌领导人和新的调查人员聚集在一起，介绍他们的最新工作，并参与有意义的科学和社会互动。ISHR由七个部分(例如北美、澳大拉西亚、欧洲等)组成，每年举行一次区域会议，但放弃每三年举行一次的年度会议，共同参加世界大会。上两届世界大会分别于2007年在博洛尼亚和2010年在京都举行，取得了巨大成功，预示着2013年会议将取得成功。我们预计将有大约1000名与会者，近200名科学家在口头会议上展示他们的工作，500名科学家展示海报。会议的科学核心是40个科学研讨会，分七个上午和下午举行。研讨会的翻译重点强烈，并反映在以下主题中：心脏保护和损伤的新机制，对心脏功能障碍的新见解，心律失常的离子通道机制和靶点，心脏疾病和治疗中的信号，心脏调节：超越基因组，心脏疾病的再生医学，以及从心脏研究到治疗的转化。还有每天午餐时间的张贴会，以及八个命名为奖项、全体会议和诺贝尔奖的讲座。为早期职业调查员计划了多项活动，包括一次早期职业调查员大会前活动，挑选18份职业调查员摘要进行口头陈述，以及职业早期调查员和外联研究金，以鼓励职业早期出席和参与。代表不足的少数群体将被积极招募，被选为ECI活动的志愿者，并得到外联联谊会的支持，以增加多样性。开幕式当晚的招待会和一场休闲宴会计划用于建立联系和非正式的科学互动。会场提供了一个轻松的海滨氛围，以实现会议的目标：统一、振兴和转化心血管研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks partial funding for the International Society for Heart Research (ISHR) XXI World Congress to be held in San Diego, CA on June 30-July 4, 2012. Since its inception in 1968, the ISHR has brought together established leaders and new investigators to present their latest work and engage in meaningful scientific and social interactions. The ISHR is comprised of seven Sections ( e.g. North American, Australasian, European etc) which have regional meetings on an annual basis but forgo these yearly meetings every third year to join together for the World Congress. The last two World Congresses, held in Bologna in 2007 and Kyoto in 2010 were tremendously successful and bode well for the success of the 2013 meeting. We anticipate approximately one thousand attendees, with nearly two hundred scientists presenting their work in oral sessions and five hundred presenting posters. The scientific core of the meeting is the 40 scientific symposia, spread throughout seven morning and afternoon sessions. Translational focus of the symposia is strong and reflected in the themes : New Mechanisms of Cardioprotection and Injury, New Insights into Cardiac Dysfunction , Ion Channel Mechanisms and Targets for Arrhythmias , Signaling in Cardiac Disease and Therapy, Cardiac Regulation: Beyond the Genome, Regenerative Medicine for Heart Diseases ,and Translation from Cardiac Research to Therapies. There is also a daily lunchtime poster session, and eight named Award, Plenary and Nobel lectures. Multiple events are planned for Early Career Investigators (ECIs) including an ECI Pre-congress event, selection of 18 ECI abstracts for oral presentation, and ECI and Outreach Fellowships to encourage early career attendance and participation. Underrepresented minorities will be actively recruited, selected to volunteer at the ECI event, and supported by Outreach Fellowships to increase diversity. Receptions on the opening night and a casual banquet are planned for networking and informal scientific interactions. The venue provides a relaxing waterfront atmosphere in which to accomplish the goals of the meeting: Unifying, Invigorating and Translating Cardiovascular Research.
