# ASBMR Three Year Symposia

> **NIH NIH R13** · AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR BONE & MINERAL RES · 2021 · $40,000

## Abstract

The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR), the largest professional, scientific and
medical society established to bring together clinical and laboratory-based scientists who are involved in the
study of bone, mineral and musculoskeletal science, has had a successful history of conducting annual topical
meetings funded by single year NIH R13 grants since 2002. In 2015, ASBMR received a three-year R13 to
cover three pre-meeting symposia for 2016-2018.This application seeks funding for a three-year R13 grant to
advance the field of musculoskeletal diseases by focusing on three specific areas of scientific research in
2019, 2010 and 2021: 1) “Muscle: The Path Forward to New Therapeutic Targets”; 2) “The Seed and Soil:
Therapeutic Targets for Cancer in Bone”; 3) “Biology of the Aging Skeleton: Implications for Fracture
Prevention”. These three areas cover a range of topics that collectively contribute to major clinical morbidity
disability and mortality. The overall objective of this R13 is to stimulate further advances that will result in
improved patient care for musculoskeletal diseases by bringing together the best researchers for each of the
three symposia that will be held in conjunction with the ASBMR Annual Meetings. Each of the three symposia
will review the state of the art in each topic area, exchanging ideas with attendees, and stimulating the
interaction between young and established researchers. For each of the three symposia, attendees will be
encouraged to attend the subsequent ASBMR Annual Meetings for additional opportunities to interact with
musculoskeletal researchers. Agendas for all three years have been developed by an organizing committee
with committed speakers and chairs for the first two years. The agendas include established and young
investigators, women and men. Since about half of ASBMR membership is from outside the US, we also
include a number of key international speakers. At the end of each meeting, a “dine-around” evening is
planned to allow direct interaction between young investigators and more senior speakers at the meeting. In
2019, the symposium will appraise the emerging basic science of muscle (autophagy muscle, mitochondria,
stem and satellite cells), translational research including development of potential therapeutic targets and to
clinical research. In 2020, the symposium will focus on recent advances in the contributions of the bone
microenvironment to the pathophysiology, prevention and treatment of cancer in bone. The 2021 symposium
will bring together experts in geroscience and skeletal biology to enhance our understanding of biological aging
that is being targeted by therapeutic interventions to increase health span and apply them to the aging
skeleton.
