申请者描述(由申请人提供)：本R-13申请书请求支持将于2014年5月13日至16日在佛罗里达州迈阿密凯悦酒店和毗邻的迈阿密会议中心举行的题为2014国际综合医学与健康研究大会的会议。本次会议由整合医学学术健康中心联盟(CAHCIM)赞助，该联盟目前代表美国、加拿大和墨西哥的57个学术健康中心，项目重点是补充疗法和整合医学模式的教育、研究和临床交付。会议的举办地是迈阿密大学米勒医学院，它是CAHCIM的成员之一。本次研究会议旨在通过主题报告和全体报告、海报、座谈会和研讨会的方式展示涉及补充和综合医疗疗法的原创科学研究。基础科学研究人员、临床和卫生服务研究人员将展示原创研究，并通过同行评议程序选出适度的小组陈述。该领域的领导者将被邀请发表主旨演讲，并主持同时进行的研究报告。大会的筹划工作由组委会负责监督，组委会由六个主要委员会(计划、科学审查、财务、筹款、通信和继续医学教育/物流委员会，并与联盟的执行委员会和指导委员会联络)的主席组成。委员会的主席和成员是来自美国、加拿大和欧洲传统和互补医学研究社区的领导人，包括受资助的研究人员、综合中心主任、教育工作者和政策研究人员。计划委员会负责确定会议的主题和选择主旨演讲者。将征求各届会议(专题讨论会、专题讨论和研讨会)的建议书，以及提交研究摘要。所有这些都将在科学审查委员会进行的过程中接受同行质量审查。在2012年国际大会以前使用的评审员库中列出了250多名专家评审员，整个评审过程由科学审查委员会指导，并得到该联合会研究委员会的建议。这将是该联盟主办的第四次科学会议。第一届于2006年5月在加拿大阿肯色州埃德蒙顿举行，吸引了来自19个国家的近600人参加。第二次会议于2009年5月在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行，来自24个国家的约800人参加了会议，最近一次会议于2012年5月在俄勒冈州波特兰举行，吸引了来自30个国家的1000多人参加。这次国际与会者的聚会旨在实现我们宣布的在世界各地加强综合保健研究的目标。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R-13 application requests support for a conference entitled 2014 International Research Congress on Integrative Medicine and Health to be held at Hyatt Regency Hotel and the adjacent Miami Convention Center, in Miami, Florida, May 13-16, 2014. This conference is sponsored by the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine (CAHCIM), which currently represents 57 academic health centers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, with programs focusing on education, research and clinical delivery of complementary therapies and models of integrative medicine. The site host for the conference is the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, a member of CAHCIM. This research conference is meant to showcase by way of keynote and plenary presentations, posters, symposia and workshops, original scientific research involving complementary and integrative medical therapies. Basic science investigators, clinical and health service researchers will present original research and moderate panel presentations selected through a peer-review process. Leaders in the field will be invited to provide keynote addresses and to moderate concurrent research presentations. The planning for the conference is overseen by the Organizing Committee, which is composed of the chairs of six key committees (Program, Scientific Review, Finance, Fundraising, Communications, and CME/Logistics, with liaison to the Consortium's Executive and Steering Committees). The chairs and members of the committees are leaders from the conventional and complementary medical research communities of the United States, Canada and Europe, including funded investigators, directors of integrative centers, educators and policy researchers. The Program Committee is charged with determining the themes for the conference and selecting the keynote speakers. Proposals for sessions (symposia, featured discussions and workshops) will be solicited, as will submission of research abstracts. All will undergo peer-review for quality in a process conducted by the Scientific Review Committee. Over 250 expert reviewers are listed in a pool of reviewers previously used for the 2012 International congress, and the entire review process is directed by the Scientific Review Committee, with recommendations from the Consortium's Research Committee. This will be the fourth scientific conference sponsored by the Consortium. The first was held in Edmonton, AB, Canada in May of 2006 and attracted close to 600 participants from 19 countries. The second conference was held in Minneapolis, MN in May 2009 and included approximately 800 participants from 24 countries, and the most recent conference was held in Portland, Oregon in May 2012 and attracted over 1,000 participants from 30 countries. This gathering of international participants is aimed to achieve our stated goal of strengthening research in integrative healthcare around the world.
