AANP Scholars' Workshop on Neurodegenerative Disease Neuropathology Research

项目摘要/摘要 此R13拨款申请是为了支持在以下时间之前举行的会前职业发展研讨会 美国神经病理学家协会年会。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。这一目标的关键是保持、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。第一届AANP学者奖 研讨会于2020年6月举行，在指导神经病理学学员方面取得了显著的成功 迈向神经病理学的学术生涯。这笔R13赠款将为AANP学者计划提供资金，该计划是 为75名5岁以上的神经病理学实习生举办职业发展和科学会前研讨会 好几年了。研讨会的主题将每隔一年轮换一次，主题是：对学术的期望和障碍 《神经病理学生涯》和《导航学术神经病理学：职位与资助金》。这次研讨会将 吸引最有前途的神经病理学实习生前往专注于ADRD的职业，通过抵消旅行和 注册费。这笔R13奖助金还将支持参加AANP年度会议的学员旅行奖励 重点是支持妇女和代表性不足的少数群体。这次会议的长期影响将是 保持致力于ADRD研究的神经病理学实习生的健康渠道，以支持 预防和治疗ADRD的国家计划。

Project Summary/Abstract This R13 grant application is to support a pre-meeting career development 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. The first AANP Scholars’ Workshop was held in June 2020 and has been remarkably successful in guiding neuropathology trainees towards an academic neuropathology career. This R13 grant will fund the AANP Scholar’s Program which is a career development and scientific pre-meeting workshop for a cohort of 75 neuropathology trainees over five years. Workshop themes will alternate every other year between “Expectations and Barriers to an Academic Neuropathology Career” and “Navigating Academic Neuropathology: Positions & Grants.” This workshop will attract the most promising neuropathology trainees towards a career focused on ADRD by offsetting travel and registration costs. This R13 grant will also support trainee travels awards to attend the Annual AANP Meeting with a focus on supporting women and underrepresented minorities. 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.
