THIRD NEUROCRITICAL CARE RESEARCH CONFERENCE

第三届神经危重症护理研究会议将于2014年8月15日至17日在德克萨斯州休斯顿的德克萨斯医学中心（贝勒医学院/圣卢克医学中心）举行。圣路加医学中心的神经科学中心已承诺为本次研讨会提供部分资金支持。这次跨学科科学研讨会的总体目标是汇集来自不同领域的科学家和医生，他们对理解和推进神经危重症护理结果研究的应用有共同的兴趣。这次研讨会的独特之处在于，它将提供一个论坛，介绍和讨论在神经危重症护理领域的临床试验设计、研究工具和研究重点的最新进展。需要设计足够的结果研究研究在神经危重症护理也将解决。本次研讨会将由开幕酒会和四场科学会议组成：1)专题讲座；2)评估结果和干预措施；3)神经危重症护理的研究重点与成果研究；4)研究项目报告与讨论。此外，将在会议结束时组织讨论。我们预计约有200名与会者。组织/科学委员会将由来自神经危重症护理社区的成员组成，但他们有不同的研究兴趣，代表了会议的综合/教育概念。在会议结束时，与会者应该能够：1)了解神经危重症护理疾病结局研究的重要性和机会；2)讨论与结果评估和干预措施相关的最新科学进展，这些评估和干预措施将对神经危重症护理研究产生影响；3)确定神经危重症结局研究的未来方向；4)通过神经危重症护理研究网络（NCRN）和其他NINDS资助的研究网络加强合作。所有的演讲都将被录像，并在“神经危重症护理学会”网站上播放，供公众访问（该网站自2003年成立以来）。此外，受邀演讲者将被要求提交与其主题相关的手稿，供同行评审并在“神经危重症护理”上发表。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Third Neurocritical Care Research Conference will be held at the Texas Medical Center, Houston, Texas, on August 15 - 17, 2014 (Baylor College of Medicine/St Luke's Medical Center). The Neuroscience Center at the St Luke's Medical Center has committed funds to partially support this symposium. The overall goal of this interdisciplinary scientific symposium is to bring together scientists and physicians from diverse fields with a common interest in understanding and advancing the applications of outcomes research in neurocritical care. The symposium is unique in that it will provide a forum for presenting and discussing the latest advances in clinical trial design, research tools, and research priorities in the field of neurocritical care. The need for the design of adequate outcomes research studies in neurocritical care will also be addressed. This symposium will consist of an opening reception followed by 4 scientific sessions: 1) Special Lectures; 2) Assessment of Outcomes and Interventions; 3) Research Priorities and Outcomes Research in Neurocritical Care; and 4) Research Project Presentation and Discussions. In addition, discussions at the end of the sessions will be organized. We anticipate approximately 200 attendees. The Organizing/Scientific Committee will consist of members from the neurocritical care community but with various research interests that represent the integrated/educational concept of the conference. At the conclusion of the conference, participants should be able to: 1) understand the importance and opportunities for outcomes research in neurocritical care diseases; 2) discuss recent scientific advances related to the assessment of outcomes and interventions that will have an impact on neurocritical care research; 3) determine the future directions of outcomes research in neurocritical care; and 4) enhance collaborations via Neurocritical Care Research Network (NCRN) and other NINDS- funded research networks. All presentations will be video-taped and presented on "The Neurocritical Care Society" website for general public access (website has been established since 2003). Furthermore, invited speakers will be asked to submit manuscripts related to their topic for peer review and publication in "Neurocritical Care".
