Assessing Quality in Neurobehavioral Research

项目摘要 好的、坏的和丑陋的：评估神经行为研究的质量 畸形学信息专家组织（奥蒂斯）和发展 神经毒理学学会（DNTS）将与畸形学会举行联合会议 (TS)2020年6月27日至7月1日。在DNTS/TS/奥蒂斯年度会议上的发言 侧重于暴露于药物和负面环境条件的影响-特别是 暴露发生在生命早期-对大脑和行为。奥蒂斯的使命是支持 并通过授权为世界范围内的畸形学教育和研究做出贡献， 妇女、卫生保健专业人员和公众， 关于怀孕期间或母乳喂养期间接触的影响的信息 实现知情决策的目标，减少可预防的出生缺陷的风险， 促进专业发展和沟通。DNTS的使命是更好地 通过动物和人类研究，了解神经系统的发育起源 疾病，预防其发生。联合会议为 社会网络，合作，提供专业发展和培训机会， 成员，并学习新的方法，将实验室科学转化为应用，反之亦然。 作为2020年会议计划的一部分，奥蒂斯和DNTS将举办一个题为 好的，坏的，丑陋的：评估神经行为研究的质量。的 这次研讨会的目的是汇集发展神经科学家， 神经毒理学家、心理学家、毒理学家、流行病学家、畸形学家、致畸剂 来自学术界的信息专家、医学遗传学家、医生和遗传顾问， 行业和政府提供独特的培训机会，以发展翻译技能 科学和通信。与会者将从四位合格的演讲者那里了解质量， 挑战和局限性，以及研究方法和结果的解释。此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 与会者将有机会一起进行案例研究，以实践和发展技能 为了将研究转化为实践。将分配充足的时间进行讨论， 研讨会结束时，以便让与会者提出问题，并整合 信息.因此，本次研讨会将为研究人员和从业人员提供 与开展研究有关的学习和技能发展机会， 研究成果的解释和科学见解的交流。

Project Summary The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Assessing Quality in Neurobehavioral Research The Organization for Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS) and Developmental Neurotoxicology Society (DNTS) will be having a joint meeting with The Teratology Society (TS), and from June 27-July 1, 2020. Presentations at the annual DNTS/TS/OTIS meeting focuses on effects of exposures to drugs and negative environmental conditions - especially exposure that occurs early in life - on the brain and behavior. The mission of OTIS is to support and contribute to worldwide initiatives for teratology education and research by empowering women, health care professionals and the public with accurate, current, and evidence-based information about the effects of exposures during pregnancy or while breastfeeding with the goal of enabling informed decision-making, reducing the risks of preventable birth defects, and facilitating professional development and communication. The mission of DNTS is to better understand, through animal and human studies, the developmental origins of nervous system diseases and prevent their occurrence. The joint meeting provides an opportunity for the societies to network, collaborate, provide professional development and training opportunities to members, and learn new ways in which to translate bench science to application and vice versa. As part of the 2020 conference programming, OTIS and DNTS will hold a symposium entitled “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Assessing Quality in Neurobehavioral Research”. The objective of this symposium is to bring together developmental neuroscientists, neurotoxicologists, psychologists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, teratologists, teratogen information specialists, medical geneticists, physicians and genetic councilors from academia, industry, and government for a unique training opportunity to develop skills in translational science and communication. Attendees will learn from four qualified speakers about quality, challenges and limitations, and the interpretation of research methods and results. In addition, attendees will have opportunity to work together on a case study to practice and develop skills for the purposes of translating research to practice. Ample time will be allotted for discussion at the end of the symposium in order to allow participants to ask questions and integrate information. Thus, this symposium will provide both researchers and practitioners with opportunities for learning and skill development related to the conduct of research studies, interpretation of research results, and communication of scientific insights.
