ISRCAP Biennial Meeting

描述（由申请人提供）：为了响应PA-10 - 071 NIH对会议和科学会议的支持（父R13/U13），我们请求支持将于2011年6月15日至6月18日在美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的国际儿童和青少年精神病理学研究学会（ISRCAP）两年一度的会议。ISRCAP成立于1989年，目的是召集发展精神病理学研究人员举行两年一次的高度集中的会议，在会议期间介绍和讨论有关儿童精神障碍的原因、过程和预防的最新数据。自1989年成立以来，亚太经社会在成员数目和代表性方面都有了显著的扩大。今天，它是致力于发现儿童心理健康新知识的领先科学组织之一。ISRCAP的使命是通过会议和在社会杂志《异常儿童心理学杂志》上发表文章，促进基础、转化和临床研究的发现，以了解导致儿童和青少年精神障碍发展和复发的遗传、神经生物学、行为、环境和经验因素。绝大多数成员都出席了ISRCAP会议。在为期三天的会议上，相对较小的会场为讨论和参与提供了比许多其他会议更大的机会。此外，核心成员定期出席两年期会议，这使得讨论的质量得以持续，并建立了关于儿童和青少年精神障碍原因的知识库。该申请的主要目的是为2011年两年一度的会议获得资金，该会议的主题是发展精神病理学的创新转化模型。要求提供资金，以支持会议活动，例如为应邀发言者的登记、费用和差旅费提供支助人员，增加一个关于发展性精神病理学表观遗传模型测试方法的讲习班，支付会议室和茶点费用，以及支付三名少数民族初级教员的登记费和差旅费。ISRCAP两年一次会议的目标完全符合两个NIMH战略目标：战略目标1：促进大脑和行为科学的发现，以推动对精神疾病原因的研究，战略目标2：绘制精神疾病轨迹，以确定何时，何地以及如何干预。事实上，ISRCAP成员和两年一次的会议的独特品质提供了一个前所未有的机会，以加速大脑和行为科学的发现，这是迅速转化为预防和干预工作。 公共卫生相关性：我们请求支持将于2011年6月在芝加哥举行的国际儿童和青少年精神病理学研究学会两年一次的会议。ISRCAP是一个科学组织，致力于提供一个论坛，分享有关遗传，神经生物学，行为，环境和经验因素的新知识，这些因素有助于儿童和青少年精神障碍的发展和复发。2011年会议的主题，发展精神病理学的创新转化模型，将产生专题讨论会，整合不同的方法来研究相关的情绪，行为和认知过程的基础精神病理学，包括动物模型，实验人类模型，纵向研究的发展过程，和预防/干预研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In response to PA-10-071 NIH Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (Parent R13/U13), we request support for the Biennial Meeting of the International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology (ISRCAP) to be held June 15th through June 18th, 2011 in Chicago, IL, USA. ISRCAP was established in 1989 with the purpose of convening researchers in developmental psychopathology for biennial, highly focused meetings during which recent data on the causes, and course and prevention of mental disorders in children are presented and discussed. Since its founding in 1989, ISRCAP has significantly expanded its membership in terms of numbers and representation. Today it is one of the leading scientific organizations devoted to the discovery of new knowledge on children's mental health. The mission of ISRCAP is to promote through meetings and publications in the society journal, the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, to promote discover in basic, translational, and clinical research to gain understanding of the genetic, neurobiological, behavioral, environmental, and experiential factors that contribute to the development and recurrence of mental disorders in children and adolescents. The ISRCAP meetings are attended by large majority of the members. The relatively small venue provides a greater opportunity for discussion and participation over the three-day meeting than that found at many other meetings. In addition, the fact that a core of the membership has regularly attended the biennial meetings, has allowed for continuity in the quality of the discussion and a building of the knowledge base of the causes of mental disorders in children and adolescents. The primary aim of this application is to secure funding for the 2011 Biennial Meeting, the theme of which is Innovative Translational Models in Developmental Psychopathology. Funding is requested to support meeting activities such as providing support staff for registration, fees and travel costs for invited speakers, adding a workshop on methods for testing epigenetic models of developmental psychopathology, defraying the costs of the meeting rooms and refreshments, and covering registration fees and travel costs for three minority junior faculty. The goals of the biennial meeting of the ISRCAP are fully consistent with two NIMH strategic objectives: Strategic Objective 1: Promote Discovery in the Brain and Behavioral Sciences to Fuel Research on the Causes of Mental Disorders and Strategic Objective 2: Chart Mental Illness Trajectories to Determine When, Where, and How to Intervene. In fact, the unique qualities of the ISRCAP membership and biennial meeting provide an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate the type of discovery in brain and behavioral sciences that is rapidly translatable to prevention and intervention efforts. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: We request support for the biennial meeting of the International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology (ISRCAP), to be held in Chicago in June, 2011. ISRCAP is a scientific organization that is devoted to providing a forum for the sharing of new knowledge on the genetic, neurobiological, behavioral, environmental, and experiential factors that contribute to the development and recurrence of mental disorders in children and adolescents The theme of the 2011 meeting, Innovative Translational Models in Developmental Psychopathology, will yield symposia that integrate diverse approaches to studying related emotional, behavioral, and cognitive processes underlying psychopathology including animal models, experimental human models, longitudinal studies of developmental processes, and prevention/intervention studies.
