International Diabetes Epidemiology Group 2009

描述(由申请人提供)：这是一份R13会议拨款申请，请求为“国际糖尿病流行病学小组”研讨会提供部分支持。这将是IDEG作为国际糖尿病联合会(IDF)世界糖尿病大会官方卫星举行的第11次三年一次的研讨会。2009年，以色列国防军第20届大会将在加拿大蒙特利尔举行，在此之前，IDEG研讨会将于10月15日至18日在加拿大魁北克市举行。IDEG 2009将以为期一天的50名初级研究人员的糖尿病流行病学培训计划开始，随后是为期两天的、单一科学轨道的主要IDEG专题讨论会。糖尿病流行的严峻事实，以及在培训的各个阶段都需要招募和教育调查人员，为这次会议提供了理由。在美国，有2080万人患有糖尿病，占总人口的7%，另有3%-5%的人患有未确诊的糖尿病。由于人口增长、老龄化、城市化以及越来越多的肥胖和缺乏运动，全球糖尿病患者的数量正在增加。糖尿病并发特殊的微血管和早期严重的心血管疾病。IDEG会议是独一无二的，与NIDDK的使命具有科学相关性，目标受众超过250人，包括妇女、少数群体和残疾人。参与者从事临床护理、公共卫生、预防、流行病学和遗传学领域的工作。IDEG 2009是一个独特的机会，将这些来自世界各地的人聚集在一起，在2009年，特别是来自北美和美国的人。IDEG研讨会的互动环境将促进与会者之间的合作学习和研究努力。它将确定关键目标，以了解不同种族人群中糖尿病的病因和遗传学，以及工业化国家和发展中国家预防糖尿病的最有希望的方法。2009年IDEG是由全志愿人员组成的组织委员会与魁北克省拉瓦尔大学心脏代谢风险国际教席合作规划的，请求提供支助，以支付受训人员参加培训班和IDEG专题讨论会的部分费用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a R13 conference grant application requesting partial support for the symposium "International Diabetes Epidemiology Group (IDEG)". This will be the 11th tri-annual IDEG symposium held as an official satellite to the World Diabetes Congress of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). In 2009, the 20th IDF Congress takes place in Montreal, Canada, to be preceded by the IDEG symposium on October 15-18, in Quebec City, Canada. IDEG 2009 will begin with a one day Diabetes Epidemiology Training Program for 50 junior investigators, followed by the 2.5 day, single scientific track main IDEG symposium. The stark facts of the diabetes epidemic, and the need to recruit and educate investigators at all stages of training, provide the justification for the meeting. There are 20.8 million people in the United States, or 7% of the population, with diagnosed diabetes and another 3-5% with undiagnosed diabetes. The number of people with diabetes is increasing worldwide due to population growth, aging, urbanization, and increasing obesity and physical inactivity. Diabetes is complicated by specific microvascular and early, severe cardiovascular diseases. The IDEG conferences is unique and scientifically relevant to NIDDK's mission, targeting an audience of over 250 participants, including women, minorities, and persons with disabilities. Participants work in the fields of clinical care, public health, prevention, epidemiology and genetics. IDEG 2009 presents an unique opportunity to bring these individuals together from around the world and in 2009, especially from North American and the U.S. The interactive environment of IDEG symposia will stimulate collaborative learning and research efforts among the conferees. It will identify critical goals for understanding of the etiology and genetics of diabetes in ethnically diverse populations and the most promising approaches to diabetes prevention in industrialized and developing countries. IDEG 2009 has been planned by an all-volunteer Organizing Committee in collaboration with the International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk at Laval University, Quebec, Support is requested to partially cover cost of trainee participation in the training course and in the IDEG symposium.
