11th Hershey Developmental Brain Injury Conference

项目摘要/摘要 好时发育性脑损伤会议始于1997年，现已发展成为一个广受欢迎的 出席人数众多，但规模仍然很小的国际内科科学家和基础科学家会议，有很高的 实习生人数。2018年第11届好时大会将返回美国，由Dr。 唐娜·费列罗和苏珊·万努奇将在加州阿西洛马举行。我们正在申请美国国立卫生研究院的支持 主要用于资助初级调查人员和受训人员出席会议。拟议会议的总体目标 是将一个由临床和基础科学家组成的国际小组聚集在一起，参与有关 发育中的动物和人类的脑损伤和再生。 该方法与以前一样，有四个目标： 1)确定形成基本科学概念的临床范例，并翻译这些新的基本科学概念 将理念转化为更精细化的临床应用； 2)探索我们现有知识中的空白领域，并包括切线领域的专家，以提供新的 对这些差距的看法 3)促进创新合作 4)招聘和指导初级同事，特别是代表人数不足的少数群体 因此，R13的目标是为学员和初级学员提供必要的持续支持 教职员工。来自美国和国外的学员的广泛参与一直是好时的标志 会议。受训人员，包括医学博士和博士，占所有参与者的30%-50%。这次会议是一次 学员与现场领导之间非正式互动的绝佳机会，以及 博士后和访问科学家招聘机制。因此，R13的一个具体目标是促进 实习生和初级教员的参与，并确定来自种族/少数民族的实习生/初级教员和 代表不足的机构出席这次会议。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Hershey Conference on Developmental Brain Injury was started in 1997 and has grown to a popular, well attended, yet still small, international conference of physician-scientists and basic scientists, with a high number of trainees. The 2018 11th Hershey Conference will return to the USA and will be organized by Drs. Donna Ferriero and Susan Vannucci to be held at Asilomar CA. We are applying for support from NIH primarily to fund attendance for junior investigators and trainees. The overall goal of the proposed meeting is to bring together an international group of clinical and basic scientists involved in research pertaining to brain injury and regeneration in developing animals and humans. The approach remains the same as previously and has four objectives: 1) identifying clinical paradigms that inform basic science concepts and translating those new basic concepts into more refined clinical application; 2) exploring areas of gaps in our current knowledge and including experts in tangential fields to provide new perspectives on these gaps 3) promoting novel collaborations 4) recruiting and mentoring of junior colleagues, especially including under-represented minorities Therefore, the objective of this R13 is to provide the necessary continued support of trainees and junior faculty. Extensive participation of trainees, both from US and abroad, has been a hallmark of the Hershey Conference. Trainees, both MD and PhD, constitute 30-50% of all participants. This meeting has been an excellent opportunity for informal interaction between trainees and the leaders in the field as well as a mechanism for post-doctoral and visiting scientist recruitment. Thus, a specific aim of this R13 is to promote trainee and junior faculty participation and to identify trainees/junior faculty from racial/ethnic minorities and underrepresented institutions to attend this conference.
