Conference grant application to support American Psychosomatic Society's 75th Annual Scientific Meeting

为有前途的博士前和博士后学生提供强有力的支持和指导对于 促进所有科学领域的发展。该NIA支持的R13的总体目标是为以下人员提供差旅支持： 学员参加并积极参加第75届美国心身医学科学年会 社会（APS）在塞维利亚，西班牙（2017年3月15日至18日）。APS的基本使命是促进和 促进对生物、心理、社会和文化之间相互关系的科学理解， 人类健康和疾病的行为因素，以及科学领域的整合， 审查每一项，并促进在教育和改善卫生保健方面应用这一认识。这 使命体现在2017年会议主题的选择上，“调动技术， 推进生物行为科学与健康，”这将突出实证研究，应用方法， 和临床应用沿着翻译连续体，重点是传播和公众 政策70多年来，APS年会为学员提供了一个出色的论坛 并建立了在广泛的学科和专业领域工作的研究人员和临床医生， 交流新的想法和研究战略，最终促进和提高研究质量， 将其转化为临床实践和公共政策。每年的APS会议有500多人参加 来自世界各地的研究人员和临床医生。 此前获得NHLBI支持12年（R13 HL 074923），APS获得NIA支持75年 周年会议，以扩大其对生物，心理社会和 健康和疾病的行为机制。事实上，许多主题的暗流 会议提供的研究和培训机会反映了加速老化的机制， 其影响修正因素包括复原力和脆弱性指数。2010 - 2011年与国家执行机构有关的方案规划 2017年会议包括迈克尔·马莫特爵士的主题演讲，移动的技术特邀研讨会 在卫生保健和研究，强调老年疾病，并邀请西班牙裔健康研讨会 在整个生命周期中。定期主持人强调心身医学的终身方法 研究，并已被NIA赠款包括名人，如博士迈克尔欧文，雷德福威廉姆斯， 安德鲁·斯特普托，凯伦马修斯，埃莉萨·埃佩尔，朱利安·塞耶和斯蒂芬·马努克。越来越多地，这 会议还强调了睡眠健康与衰老的关系，包括非稳态负荷，细胞和分子 衰老、细胞衰老和衰老疾病的指标。还要求其他国家提供二级支助。 机构（例如，NCI，NHLBI，NCCIH）考虑到学科和专业的多样性， 会议例如，西班牙裔健康研讨会将包括与心血管相关的演讲， 疾病、癌症、肥胖症和糖尿病。西班牙裔健康研讨会的发言人人数正在上升 包括Shakir Suglia博士，Carmela Alcantara博士和Frank博士在内的研究人员都参与了整个生命周期的差异研究 Penedo;值得注意的是，这些人中的每一个也来自代表性不足的少数群体。 我们还将赞助一个特邀研讨会和圆桌午餐会，讨论新的指导方针， 统计学意义和重复性。已确认的发言者包括： 美国统计协会和加州大学欧文分校统计系主任， 博士Meredith Wallace，匹兹堡大学精神病学系助理教授， 丹尼尔莱肯斯，来自埃斯波霍芬科技大学的人与科技互动研究所。的 研讨会将包括与演讲者，期刊代表和互动主持的讨论 在Sli.Do技术的帮助下，与观众进行讨论。 没有其他类似的科学会议与APS年会的内容重叠， 包括培训机会。在这项申请中，我们建议为最多10名年轻人提供支持， 学者奖和3个少数民族倡议旅行奖。青年学者奖计划将提供 向提交第一作者摘要以提交论文或海报的竞争性挑选的受训人员颁发旅费 他们被认为在身心和行为医学方面表现出杰出的潜力。的 APS少数民族倡议旅行奖将为来自种族/民族或其他 代表人数不足的团体参加年度会议。识别和选择APS少数族裔的过程 主动旅行奖的获奖者将有所不同，因为该奖项旨在将培训生奖励机会扩展到 在这个过程中还不是“利益相关者”的人。

Providing strong support and guidance to promising pre- and post-doctoral students is crucial for the advancement of all fields of science. The overall goal of this NIA-supported R13 is to provide travel support for trainees to attend and actively take part in the 75th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Psychosomatic Society (APS) in Seville, Spain (March 15-18, 2017). The essential mission of the APS is to promote and advance the scientific understanding of the interrelationships among biological, psychological, social and behavioral factors in human health and disease, and the integration of the fields of science that separately examine each, and to foster the application of this understanding in education and improved health care. This mission is instantiated in the selection of the theme for the 2017 meeting, “Mobilizing Technology to Advance Biobehavioral Science and Health,” which will highlight empirical research, applied methodology, and clinical applications along the translational continuum, with an emphasis on dissemination and public policy. For greater than 7 decades, the annual APS meeting has provided an outstanding forum for trainees and established investigators and clinicians working within a wide range of disciplines and specialty areas to exchange new ideas and research strategies that ultimately facilitate and improve the quality of research and its translation into clinical practice and public policy. The annual APS meeting is attended by over 500 researchers and clinicians from around the world. Previously supported by NHLBI for 12 years (R13 HL074923), APS has obtained the support of NIA for the 75th anniversary meeting to broaden its emphasis on research and training in biological, psychosocial, and behavioral mechanisms of health and disease across the lifespan. In fact, the thematic undercurrent of much of the research and training opportunities offered at the meeting reflect mechanisms of accelerated aging and their effect modifiers including indices of resilience and vulnerability. Planned NIA-related programming for the 2017 meeting includes a keynote address by Sir Michael Marmot, an invited symposium on mobile technology in health care and research, emphasizing diseases of aging, and an invited symposium on Hispanic health across the lifespan. Regular presenters who highlight a lifespan approach to psychosomatic medicine research and have been NIA grantees include luminaries such as Drs. Michael Irwin, Redford Williams, Andrew Steptoe, Karen Matthews, Elissa Epel, Julian Thayer, and Stephen Manuck. Increasingly, this conference has also highlighted sleep health in relation to aging including allostatic load, cellular and molecular indices of aging, cellular senescence, and diseases of aging. Secondary support is also requested from other institutes (e.g., NCI, NHLBI, NCCIH) given the diversity of disciplines and specialties represented at this meeting. For example, the Hispanic health symposium will include presentations relevant to cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, and diabetes. Confirmed speakers for the Hispanic health symposium are rising stars in disparities research across the lifespan including Drs. Shakir Suglia, Carmela Alcantara, and Frank Penedo; notably, each of these individuals is also from an underrepresented minority. We will also sponsor an invited symposium and roundtable luncheon that addresses new guidelines for statistical significance and replication. Confirmed speakers include Dr. Jessica Utts, President of the American Statistical Association and Chair of the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Irvine, Dr. Meredith Wallace, Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh, Daniel Lakens, of the Human-Technology Interaction at the Eidenhoven University of Technology. The symposium will include a moderated discussion with the speakers, journal representatives, and interactive discussion with the audience, facilitated by Sli.Do technology. There is no other comparable scientific meeting that overlaps with the content of the annual APS meeting, including its training opportunities. In this application, we propose to provide support for up to 10 Young Scholar Awards and 3 Minority Initiative Travel Awards. The Young Scholars Award Program will provide travel awards to competitively-selected trainees who submit a first-author abstract to present a paper or poster and who are judged to show outstanding potential for a career in psychosomatic and behavioral medicine. The APS Minority Initiative Travel Award will provide support for promising trainees from racial/ethnic or other underrepresented groups to attend the annual meeting. The process of identifying and selecting APS Minority Initiative Travel Award recipients will differ, as this award seeks to extend trainee award opportunities to individuals who are not yet “stakeholders” in the process.
