Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology/Peripheral Vascular Disease 2016 Scientific Sessions

 描述(申请人提供)：美国心脏协会(AHA)的动脉硬化、血栓和血管生物学(ATVB)和外周血管疾病(PVD)理事会每年举行春季会议，最近一次是ATVB/PVD 2015，于2015年5月7-9日在旧金山举行。这次会议取得了巨大的成功，注册人数达到989人。提交给ATVB 2015年的摘要数量为670篇，是16年历史上第三高的，连续第七年远远超过前几年提交的典型摘要约400篇。这些令人鼓舞的统计数字提供了切实的证据，表明科学界对ATVB、PVD和血管医学主题领域的广泛兴趣和承诺，以及对这次会议的形式和气氛的压倒性热情。基础科学家、翻译研究人员和临床医生、经验丰富的研究人员和早期职业科学家都很高兴参加这次AHA春季会议。下一届ATVB/PVD大会将于2016年5月4日至6日在田纳西州纳什维尔的Omni Nashville举行。与以前的申请一样，这项提议特别要求对我们的青年调查员旅行奖提供支持。认识到早期研究人员是我们科学进步的未来，我们年度会议的一个主要重点是鼓励年轻的研究人员积极参与AHA的ATVB和PVD理事会。青年研究员旅行奖由NIH/NHLBI资助已有14年。这些奖项是我们招募、留住和积极吸引年轻研究人员进入动脉硬化、血栓、血管生物学和血管医学研究领域的战略的组成部分，这些领域对NIH-NHLBI和美国人口的健康具有重要意义。 说明：此续订申请旨在为参加美国心脏协会动脉硬化、血栓和血管生物学(ATVB)和外周血管疾病(PVD)理事会2016年ATVB/PVD科学会议的年轻研究人员提供旅行奖支持。ATVB/PVD科学会议为早期研究人员提供了独特的机会，让他们与同行见面，展示他们的工作，并与不同学科的资深同事互动，这些学科将心血管疾病作为一个统一的主题。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Councils on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology (ATVB) and the Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) of the American Heart Association (AHA) hold an annual Spring Meeting, the most recent of which, ATVB/PVD 2015, was held in San Francisco, May 7-9, 2015. The meeting was a resounding success with 989 registrants. The number of abstracts submitted to ATVB 2015 was 670, the third highest in 16 year history, and, for the seventh year in a row, was well above the typical ~400 abstracts that had been submitted in earlier years. These encouraging statistics provide tangible evidence of the broad interest and commitment of the scientific community in the topic areas of ATVB, PVD and vascular medicine and the overwhelming enthusiasm for the format and atmosphere of this meeting. Basic scientists, translational researchers and clinicians, seasoned investigators and early career scientists, enjoy coming to this AHA Spring meeting. The next ATVB/PVD conference will be held May 4-6, 2016 at the Omni Nashville in Nashville, TN. As with previous applications, this proposal specifically requests support for our Young Investigator Travel Awards. Knowing that early stage investigators are the future of our scientific progress, a major emphasis of our annual conference is to encourage the active involvement of the younger cohort of investigators in the ATVB and PVD Councils of the AHA. Young Investigator Travel Awards have been supported by the NIH/NHLBI for 14 years. These awards are an integral part of our strategy to recruit, retain and actively engage young investigators in the fields of arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, vascular biology and vascular medicine research that are of major importance to the NIH-NHLBI and the health of the U.S. population. Narrative: This renewal application seeks support for Travel Awards for Young Investigators to attend the 2016 ATVB/PVD Scientific Sessions of the Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology (ATVB) and Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) Councils of the American Heart Association. The ATVB/PVD Scientific Sessions provide unique opportunities for early stage investigators to meet peers, present their work, and interacting with senior colleagues across distinct disciplines that have an interest in cardiovascular disease as a unifying theme.
