Student and Young Researcher Travel Support for the 10th International Conference

描述(由申请人提供)： 美国国立卫生研究院R13摘要：第十届国际磁共振显微镜会议 NIBIB项目主任：Zeynep Erim博士 提名人：约瑟夫·D·西摩，Assoc。蒙大拿州立大学教授 会议目标：国际磁共振显微会议(ICMRM)(http：\\www.icmrm10.montana.edu)是一年两次的会议，致力于材料科学、物理、化学、工程和生物医学系统的空间分辨磁共振技术开发和应用。第一次会议于1991年在德国海德堡举行，高空间分辨率的从业人员汇聚一堂。这次会议和随后的几次会议的成功促成了安培(原子和物理无线电)协会空间分辨磁共振分部的成立，其使命是为空间分辨磁共振技术开发提供一个国际组织。会议为从业人员提供了一个独特和亲密的论坛，讨论方法的技术细节和新技术的开发，重点是基本的物理学。这次会议是对ISMRM和ISMAR等较大会议的补充。 议程：完整的时间表草案见下页。接受邀请的演讲者包括NM的Eiichi Fukushima博士、维多利亚大学的Paul T.Callaghan教授、G亚琛的Bernhard BléMich教授、英国剑桥的Lynn Gladden教授、英国诺丁汉的Walter Kockenberger教授、 Peter Basser博士(美国国立卫生研究院)、KatSumi Kose教授(筑波，J)、Igor Koptyug教授(俄亥俄州新西伯利亚)。其他被邀请但名单尚未完成的人见叙述。 预算：特邀演讲人和学生/博士后旅行支助的总预算约为15 000美元，其中6500美元由研究所申请。 支持请求：组织者向NIBIB申请6500美元，以支持一名高级演讲者和五名参与生物医学和活体MRI研究的年轻教职员工和博士后的出席。组织者协会。J.D.Seymour教授和S.L.Codd助理教授与Peter Basser博士一致认为，在ICMRM上代表的医学核磁共振界和物理/化学/工程界之间的互动可以显著地促进这两个领域的交叉。作为一个例子，在过去几年里，大量参与ICMRM社区的团体发展了应用先进的2D拉普拉斯数据分析进行的多维磁弛豫研究。这些方法在临床MRI中具有巨大的潜力，但到目前为止还没有得到研究。更多的生物医学核磁共振/活体从业者的出席将激发专注于磁共振技术开发的团体对生物医学应用的兴趣，并为这些研究人员提供一个论坛，让他们专注于他们研究的实验室技术方面。 其他支持：美国化学学会石油研究基金科学教育赠款4500美元，用于演讲者支持(提案截止日期为2009年12月1日)。NSF ENG CBET$1000(助学金补充申请)蒙大拿州立大学研究部副总裁办公室$2500美元。 公共卫生意义声明(由申请者提供)：该项目通过提高用于诊断医疗应用的核磁共振的质量和能力来影响公共健康。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): NIH R13 Abstract: 10th International Conference on Magnetic Resonance Microscopy NIBIB Program Director: Dr. Zeynep Erim Proposer: Joseph D. Seymour, Assoc. Prof. Montana State University Meeting Goals: The International Conference on Magnetic Resonance Microscopy (ICMRM) (http:\\www.icmrm10.montana.edu) is a biannual conference dedicated to technique development and applications of Spatially Resolved Magnetic Resonance to systems in materials science, physics, chemistry, engineering and biomedicine. The first meeting was held in Heidelberg Germany in 1991 and brought together practitioners of high spatial resolution MR. The success of this and subsequent meetings led to the formation of The Division of Spatially Resolved Magnetic Resonance (SRMR) of the AMPERE (Atomes et Mol¿cules Par ¿tudes Radio-¿lectriques) Society, with a mission of providing an international organization for SRMR technique development. The meeting provides a unique and intimate forum for practitioners to discuss the technical details of the methodology and new technique development with a focus on the underlying physics. The meeting is complementary to larger meetings such as the ISMRM and ISMAR. Agenda: See Following page for full draft schedule. Invited speakers who have accepted include Dr. Eiichi Fukushima (NMR, NM), Prof. Paul T. Callaghan (Victoria U., NZ), Professor Bernhard Bl¿mich (Aachen, G), Prof. Lynn Gladden (Cambridge, UK), Prof. Walter Kockenberger (Nottingham, UK), Dr. Peter Basser (NIH, US), Prof. Katsumi Kose (Tsukuba, J), Prof. Igor Koptyug (Novosibirsk, RU). Others to be invited but list not yet complete see narrative. Budget: The overall budget for invited speaker and student/postdoctoral travel support is approximately $15,000 of which $6500 is requested from NIBIB. Support request: The organizers are requesting $6500 from NIBIB to support the attendance of one senior speaker and five young Faculty and postdocs involved in biomedical and in vivo MRI research. The organizers Assoc. Prof. J.D. Seymour and Asst. Prof. S.L. Codd in concert with Dr. Peter Basser believe that interaction between the medical MRI community and the physics/chemistry/engineering community represented at the ICMRM can have significant cross fertilization of both fields. As an example recent research in multidimensional magnetic relaxation studies applying advanced 2D Laplace inversion data analysis have been developed over the last few years by groups heavily involved in the ICMRM community. These methods have significant potential in clinical MRI which to date have not been investigated. The attendance of more biomedical MRI/in vivo practitioners will stimulate interest in biomedical applications of groups focused on MR technique development and provide a forum for those researchers to focus on the laboratory technique aspects of their research. Other Support: American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund Scientific Education Grant $4500 for speaker support (Proposal Due Dec. 1 2009). NSF ENG CBET $1000 (Grant Supplement Request) Montana State University Office of the VP of Research $2500. PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT (provided by applicant): This project impacts public health by increasing the quality and capability of MRI for diagnostic medical applications.
