US Association for the Study of Pain Annual Scientific Meeting

疼痛仍然是一个重大的卫生保健问题，因为它的流行，它对 那些遭受痛苦的人，以及缺乏一贯有效的治疗选择 有害的后果。这些问题只会随着美国的老龄化而雪上加霜 人口和60岁以上人群中疼痛发生率的增加。是否有任何进展 解决这一日益严重的问题需要基础科学家们勤奋地共同努力。 努力为努力管理疼痛的医疗保健提供者了解疼痛机制 在工具和资源有限的病人身上。这不仅需要这些人的持续努力 已经在致力于解决这个问题，但从后来几代疼痛科学家那里 井。美国疼痛研究协会(USASP)就是为了解决这些问题而成立的 并继续开发这样做的方法。我们推动疼痛科学向前发展的解决方案之一是 组织了一年一度的科学会议，以促进传播疼痛方面的最新进展 科学和对这些进步的多学科讨论，以及职业生涯 发展和指导疼痛科学家和卫生保健提供者，重点放在早期 职业学者。为了最大限度地提高我们实现这些目标的能力，美国农业部和科学界 会议围绕多样性、公平和包容的原则组织，所有人都对 解决复杂的疼痛问题，欢迎参加。本申请 寻求为学员提供支持，让他们参加2023年的USASP年度科学会议，以 将在杜克大学校园内的北卡罗来纳州达勒姆举行。与更广泛的目标一致 USASP为科学会议，这项建议的具体目的是1)提供一个 会议与会者的国家论坛，讨论塑造 该领域的方向，2)促进研究人员之间的跨学科对话和合作 代表多个疼痛科学学科开发创新的翻译策略，以 应对当前疼痛研究中的挑战，以及3)加强疼痛之间的沟通 科学利益相关者(研究人员、政策制定者、临床医生和患者)以及初级和 资深研究人员将提供指导，并在不同疼痛科学之间架起桥梁 社区。随着在职业生涯早期建立的关系从长远来看是有好处的，我们 寻求60名学员参加本次会议的支持，为 最终导致未来安全有效的疼痛管理。

Pain continues to be a significant health care problem because of its prevalence, its impact on those who suffer, and the absence of consistently effective therapeutic options devoid of deleterious consequences. These issues will only be compounded with the aging of the US population and the increased incidence of pain in those over 60 years old. Any progress in addressing this growing problem will take a concerted effort from the basic scientists diligently working to understand pain mechanisms to the health care providers struggling to manage pain in their patients with limited tools and resources. It not only takes a sustained effort from those already working to address this problem, but from subsequent generations of pain scientists as well. The US Association for the Study of Pain (USASP) was formed to address these issues and continues to develop ways of doing so. One of our solutions to push pain science forward is an annual scientific meeting organized to facilitate the dissemination of the last advances in pain science and the multidisciplinary discussion of these advances, as well as the career development and mentoring of pain scientists and health care providers with a focus on early career scholars. To maximize our ability to achieve these goals, the USASP and the scientific meeting are organized around principles of diversity, equity and inclusion, where all interested in addressing the complex problem of pain are welcomed to participate. The present application seeks to secure support for trainees to attend the USASP annual scientific meeting in 2023, to be held in Durham, NC, on the campus of Duke University. Consistent with the broader goals of the USASP for the scientific meeting, the Specific Aims of this proposal are to 1) Provide a national forum for conference attendees to discuss pain research findings that shape the direction of the field, 2) Foster interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration between researchers representing multiple pain science disciplines in to develop innovative translational strategies to address current challenges in pain research, and 3) Enhance communication between pain science stakeholders (researchers, policy makers, clinicians, and patients) and both junior and senior researchers to provide mentoring and build bridges between different pain science communities. As the connections made early in a career pay dividends over the long term, we seek support for 60 trainees to participate in this conference, building a foundation that will ultimately lead to safe and effective pain management in the future.
