A Longitudinal Workshop to Promote Neurodegenerative Disease Neuropathology Research

摘要 这项R13赠款申请是为了支持在 美国神经病理学家协会(AANP)年会。要解决的国家计划 阿尔茨海默病呼唤防治阿尔茨海默病及相关痴呆 (ADRD)到2025年。对这一目标至关重要的是保持、发展和支持神经病理学实习生填补 缺乏致力于ADRD和衰老研究的学术神经病理学家。为此，年度 AANP会议代表了神经病理学实习生的国家联络点。从2020年6月的AANP开始 在加利福尼亚州蒙特利举行的会议上，这笔R13赠款将支持有针对性的职业发展和科学预会 为20名神经病理学实习生举办的研讨会。三年纵向计划，重点是(1) 对神经病理学学术生涯的期望和障碍，(2)资金和资助力，以及(3) 建立一个成功的研究事业的战略。这个研讨会将吸引最有前途的 通过抵消旅行和注册成本，神经病理学实习生走向专注于ADRD的职业生涯， 除了支持学员参与会议规划过程外，还鼓励 代表人数不足的少数群体、妇女和残疾人的参与。的长期影响 本次会议将维持一条致力于ADRD研究的神经病理学实习生的健康渠道 支持预防和治疗ADRD的国家计划。

Abstract This R13 grant application is to support a pre-meeting educational workshop to be held prior to the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Neuropathologists (AANP). The National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease calls for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) by 2025. Critical to this goal is maintaining, developing and supporting neuropathology trainees to fill the dearth of academic neuropathologists dedicated to ADRD and aging research. Towards this end, the annual AANP meeting represents a national focal point for neuropathology trainees. Starting at the June 2020 AANP meeting in Monterey, CA, this R13 grant will support a targeted career development and scientific pre-meeting workshop for a cohort of 20 neuropathology trainees. A three year longitudinal program, focusing on the (1) expectations and barriers to an academic neuropathology career, (2) funding and grantsmanship, and (3) strategies for building a successful research career. This workshop will attract the most promising neuropathology trainees towards a career focused on ADRD by offsetting travel and registration costs, in addition to supporting trainee involvement with the meeting planning process, and encouraging the participation of underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities. The long term impact of this meeting will be to maintain a healthy pipeline of neuropathology trainees dedicated to ADRD research in support of the national plan to prevent and treat ADRD.
