PNIRS 2017 Annual Meeting

摘要 本申请的目标是获得培训生方案规划的部分资金 心理神经免疫研究会(PNIRS)2017年年会。这个 PNIRS是一个国际组织，由许多科学和医学领域的研究人员组成 学科包括心理学、神经科学、免疫学、生理学、药理学、 精神病学、行为医学、传染病、内分泌学和风湿学，世卫组织 对神经系统和免疫系统之间的相互作用感兴趣，而 行为与健康的关系。 PNIRS会议在各次会议中是独一无二的，因为它每年举行一次， 重点关注大脑免疫相互作用的方方面面以及 对相互作用进行了研究。科学节目的格式包括(1)命名讲演， 为该领域的领导者提供一个小时来深入介绍他们的工作，(2) 座谈会，以突出该领域的一些最新研究，以及(3)口头会议 从得分最高的摘要投稿中选择，以允许完整地代表 PNIRS成员感兴趣的跨学科主题。重要的是，一些精选的 受训人员被选中在口头会议上发言，这提供了一个重要的机会 为早期实习生准备的。会议的大部分科学内容都在 海报会议。海报会议在非相反的时间段进行，这些时间段是计划的 以最大限度地提高与会者的参与度。 除了科学计划，还有一个半天的教育短期课程和一个 专业发展工作坊(仅限实习生)在 开会。2017年PNIRS短期课程的题目是：韧性和PNI：从临床到 基础科学。 在过去的三次PNIRS年会上，与癌症相关的研究进展顺利 代表参加科学计划，约25%的口头会议演讲 和/或与癌症研究直接相关的研讨会。因为当地的组织 委员会成员都来自德克萨斯大学MD安德森癌症中心， 由于会议地点距离很近(德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿 距离MD Anderson癌症中心约50英里)，我们预计与会者将在 会议将包括大量癌症研究人员和与癌症相关的 内容会很强大。

Abstract The goal of the present application is to obtain partial funding for trainee programming at the 2017 annual meeting of The PsychoNeuroImmunology Research Society (PNIRS). The PNIRS is an international organization for researchers in a number of scientific and medical disciplines, including psychology, neurosciences, immunology, physiology, pharmacology, psychiatry, behavioral medicine, infectious diseases, endocrinology and rheumatology, who are interested in interactions between the nervous and immune systems, and the relationship between behavior and health. The PNIRS meeting is unique among conferences in that it occurs annually and focuses on all aspects of brain – immune interactions and the domains in which these interactions are studied. The scientific program format includes (1) named lectureships, which provide leaders in the field an hour in which to present their work in depth, (2) symposia, to highlight some of the newest research in the field, and (3) oral sessions chosen from the top scoring abstract submissions to allow for the full representation of the interdisciplinary topics of interest to the PNIRS members. Importantly, a select number of trainees are chosen to present within the oral sessions, providing an important opportunity for early-stage trainees. The majority of the scientific content of the meeting is within the poster session. Poster sessions occur during un-opposed time slots, which are scheduled to maximize participation by attendees. In addition to the Scientific Program, a half-day Educational Short Course and a Professional Development Workshop (trainees only) is presented on the day prior to the meeting. The title of the 2017 PNIRS Short Course is: Resilience and PNI: From Clinical to Basic Science. During the past three PNIRS annual meetings, cancer-related research has been well represented in the scientific program, with approximately 25% of the oral session talks and/or symposia directly relevant to cancer research. Because the local organizing committee members are all from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and because of the close physical proximity of the meeting location (Galveston, TX is approximately 50 miles from MD Anderson Cancer Center), we anticipate that attendees at the meeting will include a large number of cancer researchers and that cancer-related content will be strong.
