2014 ASPO conference grant

描述(由申请人提供)：美国预防肿瘤学会(ASPO)的使命是不断发展参与癌症预防和控制的研究人员，并交流和翻译科学信息以减轻癌症负担。本申请请求为该多学科组织2014年年会提供部分支持。为了让ASPO提供高质量的项目，并继续发展，为初级调查人员提供新的机会，一定程度的外部支持是必要的。考虑到ASPO的资源有限，年度会议的费用不断增加，因此不提供酬金，但会支付受邀演讲者的费用。2014年ASPO年会由三次研讨会、四次提交的论文会议、三次颁奖讲座、四次特别兴趣小组早餐会议和一次海报会议组成，计划为期三天。计划举办一次关于谈判技能的特别职业发展会议。会前研讨会包括一个新的研究人员研讨会、专业发展会议、癌症中心副主任和癌症控制与预防项目领导人会议，以及NCI培训基金主任会议。早餐将保留用于在特别利益集团内组织的实质性圆桌讨论，以推动实地在特定领域取得进展。摘要将从2013年9月开始征求口头和海报演示文稿。获得最高排名的16篇摘要将发表在同行评议期刊《癌症流行病学生物标记物与预防》(CEBP)上。不同类别的20篇排名靠前的摘要将在提供的论文会议上口头陈述。根据过去的经验，我们预计在招贴会期间将提交大约100张海报。最佳海报奖将颁发给整体最佳海报，以及由初级会议与会者颁发的三张海报。对少数族裔研究人员的旅行奖励将增加癌症预防和控制科学家的不同干部的出勤率。将采用期刊和网络广告、海报和直邮等方式宣传会议。第38届年会将于3月3日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的水晶城举行 2014年8月至11日，凯悦酒店。预计将有大约300名与会者参加年会。演讲者和参与者来自癌症预防研究的不同学科，最重要的是，来自将证据转化为有效预防计划的学科。所有会议都在无烟无障碍会议设施中举行。通过促进癌症预防几个学科的专业人员之间的交流，ASPO会议提供了一个亲密的氛围，支持指导，鼓励对话，并促进癌症预防和控制方面的创新进展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO) is the continuing development of investigators involved in cancer prevention and control, and the exchange and translation of scientific information to reduce the cancer burden. This application requests partial support for the 2014 annual meeting of this multidisciplinary organization. In order for ASPO to provide a high quality program and to continue to grow and provide new opportunities for junior investigators, some level of outside support is necessary. In recognition of ASPO's limited resources and increasing costs for annual meetings, no honoraria are offered, but expenses of invited speakers are covered. The 2014 ASPO annual meeting is organized to consist of three symposia, four submitted paper sessions, three award lectures, four Special Interest Group breakfast sessions, and one poster session scheduled over three days. A special professional development session is planned on negotiation skills. Pre- meeting workshops consist of a new investigators workshop, professional development sessions, a meeting of the cancer center Associate Directors and Program Leaders for Cancer Control and Prevention, and a meeting for NCI training grant directors. Breakfasts will be reserved for substantive roundtable discussions to move the field forward in specific areas, organized within Special Interest Groups. Abstracts will be solicited for oral and poster presentations beginning in September 2013. The 16 abstracts receiving the highest rankings will be published in the peer-reviewed journal, Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention (CEBP). The 20 top- ranked abstracts in various categories will be presented orally during proffered paper sessions. Based on past experience, we anticipate that approximately 100 posters will be presented during the poster session. Awards are given for the best poster, overall, as well as three posters presented by junior meeting attendees. Travel awards to minority investigators will enhance attendance by a diverse cadre of cancer prevention and control scientists. Journal and online advertisements, posters and direct mail will be used to publicize the meeting. The 38th annual meeting will be in Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia, March 8-11, 2014 at the Hyatt Regency. Approximately 300 participants are anticipated to attend the annual meeting. Speakers and participants are from diverse disciplines in cancer prevention research and, most significantly, from disciplines concerned with translating evidence into effective prevention programs. All meetings are held in non-smoking handicap accessible conference facilities. By fostering communication among professionals in several disciplines of cancer prevention, ASPO meetings provide an intimate atmosphere that supports mentoring, encourages dialogue, and promotes innovative progress in cancer prevention and control.
