Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OBHM)travel awards

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份申请，为参加在华盛顿州西雅图举行的2013年人脑测绘组织年会（www.humanbrainmapping.org）的学员提供旅费奖励，我是当地组织委员会主席和项目委员会成员。人类大脑测绘组织（OHBM）是致力于无创神经成像研究和人类大脑功能组织的主要国际组织，其年度会议被认为是创新脑成像方法和认知神经科学整合的首要场所。它主要是一个交流该领域最新和突破性研究的教育论坛。这次会议将聚集2500多名科学家，他们将使用所有的脑成像方式。R13提案的目的是为排名最高的摘要的第一作者提供旅行奖励。受训者包括医学院学生、研究生、临床神经科学（神经病学、精神病学、神经外科）的住院医师以及与人脑制图相关领域的博士后研究员。旅游奖励已成为本次会议定期和有效的特色。在过去的几年中，获奖者通常占年会口头报告的三分之一以上。OHBM最近的会议在：加拿大多伦多，2005年；意大利佛罗伦萨，2006年；2007年澳大利亚墨尔本；芝加哥，2008；2009年美国旧金山，2010年西班牙巴塞罗那，2011年加拿大魁北克，2012年中国北京。这次会议在以下方面对发展中国家具有相关性。首先，实际上每个演示都与的功能和结构有关

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application to fund travel awards for trainees to attend the 2013 annual meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (www.humanbrainmapping.org), to be held in Seattle, WA, and for which I am the Local Organizing Committee Chair and a Program Committee member. The Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) is the primary international organization dedicated to noninvasive neuroimaging research and the functional organization of the human brain, and its Annual Meeting is regarded as a premier venue for the integration of innovative brain imaging methods and cognitive neuroscience. It is primarily an educational forum for the exchange of up-to-the-minute and groundbreaking research in this area. The meeting will gather more than 2500 scientists, working with all brain imaging modalities. The R13 proposal is for the purpose of supporting travel awards for trainees who are first authors on the most highly ranked abstracts. Trainees include medical students, graduate students, residents in clinical neuroscience (neurology, psychiatry, neurosurgery) and post-doctoral fellows in fields related to human brain mapping. Travel awards have been a regular and effective feature of this meeting. In past years, awardees have typically given more than 1/3 of all oral presentations at the annual meeting. Recent past meetings of OHBM were in: Toronto Canada, 2005; Florence Italy, 2006; Melbourne Australia 2007; Chicago, Ill 2008; San Francisco CA 2009, Barcelona Spain 2010, Quebec City, Canada 2011, and Beijing China, 2012. This meeting has relevance for the NINDS in the following ways. First, virtually every presentation relates to the function and structure of the human brain, in both health and disease. Better understanding of the organization of the human brain is directly relevant to treating neurological disease. Moreover the use of noninvasive imaging methods is increasingly important to translational investigation in clinical neuroscience. The program will highlight emerging structural and functional MRI imaging approaches to tracking brain systems organization, connectivity and plasticity, and imaging genetics. By bringing together scientists interested in basic systems neuroscience, noninvasive imaging technology, and neurologic medicine, the meeting affords an outstanding interdisciplinary, and international, educational and scientific experience for trainees interested in the organization of the human brain.
