Young Investigator travel support for the 2016 through 2020 APS Annual Scientific Meetings

 描述(由申请者提供)：我们要求为旅行津贴提供多年(5)支持，以鼓励年轻研究人员参加美国疼痛学会(APS)2016-2020年年会。这些年轻的研究人员开始了他们在疼痛基础和临床研究方面的职业生涯。APS是一个跨学科的社区，汇集了不同的科学家、临床医生和其他专业人员，以增加对疼痛的了解，并改变公共政策和临床实践，以解决疼痛这一主要公共卫生问题。一年一度的APS会议为传播循证疼痛研究和治疗方面的尖端进展提供了一个独特的论坛，其背景是优化科学家和临床医生之间的互动。年会整合了基础、实验和临床疼痛研究，并鼓励参与者之间的交叉受精。诊断和管理临床疼痛的临床医生和阐明疼痛机制的临床前科学家之间的这种双向翻译交流是改进疼痛治疗和疼痛管理进展的基石。我们寻求资金的目的只是为了向提交摘要的年轻调查人员提供旅费奖励，这些摘要已被我们的同行审查程序接受并提交给我们的会议，因此他们正在从事研究。这些年轻的研究人员可能来自任何研究培训背景(基础或临床科学、心理学、医学、护理或生物统计学)，并可能处于任何级别的培训中，包括学生、住院医生、博士后学员、博士后研究员或最近3年内完成博士后培训的人员。所有申请者必须是APS会员。总体而言，APS青年研究人员旅行奖计划旨在促进下一代疼痛研究人员的指导和培养。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting multi-year (5) support for travel stipends to encourage the participation of young investigators at the 2016-2020 annual meetings of the American Pain Society (APS). These young investigators are beginning their careers in basic and clinical research in pain. The APS is an interdisciplinary community that brings together a diverse group of scientists, clinicians and other professionals to increase knowledge about pain and to transform public policy and clinical practice in order to address pain as a major public health problem. The annual APS meeting provides a unique forum for disseminating cutting-edge advances in evidence-based pain research and treatment in a setting that optimizes the interactions between scientists and clinicians. The annual meeting integrates basic, experimental and clinical pain research, and encourages cross-fertilization among the participants. This bidirectional translational interchange between clinicians who diagnose and manage clinical pain and pre-clinical scientists who are elucidating pain mechanisms is the cornerstone of improved pain therapy and advances in pain management. We seek funds solely for the purpose of providing travel awards for young investigators who have submitted an abstract which has been accepted for presentation at our meeting by our peer review process and therefore are engaged in research. These young investigators may be from any research training background (basic or clinical science, psychology, medicine, nursing or biostatistics) and may be at any level in training, including students, residents, pre-doctoral trainees, postdoctoral fellows, or those who have completed their postdoctoral training within the last 3 years. All applicants must be APS members. Collectively, the APS Young Investigator Travel Awards program is designed to facilitate the mentoring and nurturing of the next generation of pain researchers.
