FASEB Conference: Renal Hemodynamics - Integration of Entegration of Endothelial, Epithelial & Vascular, on June 27 - July 2, 1998, at Saxton's River, Vermont

9802445 Hall本申请要求为FASEB关于肾血流动力学的夏季研究会议提供部分资金：在美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）的赞助下，将于1998年6月27日至7月2日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河的佛蒙特学院（Vermont Academy，Saxton's River，Vermont）举行的内皮上皮和血管控制机制的整合。 会议将聚集来自多个学科的研究人员，他们使用不同的方法（细胞和分子到整合的整个动物）来了解肾循环的调节。 会议形式包括九个主要会议，五个上午和四个晚上的会议，每天餐前海报讨论会。 将有大约75名特邀发言者，在会议主席简要介绍后，他们将讨论目前尚未解决的问题和最近正在进行的旨在解决这些问题的研究。 每位演讲者都被要求介绍他们最近未发表的工作，并重点确定该领域未回答的主要问题以及回答这些问题的实验方法。 每次发言后都进行讨论，下午有大量时间供与会者进行非正式讨论。 1989年、1992年和1995年的会议非常成功，有利于与会者交流思想。 鉴于这一重要领域的迅速发展，我们期望1998年的会议将促进在这一复杂的综合系统内从事不同级别工作的调查人员之间的进一步交流和相互作用。 为了激发今后对这一领域的调查兴趣，已作出努力，从活跃、有贡献的实验室中物色年轻的调查人员担任演讲者（包括研究员和受训人员），并特别注意少数群体和妇女。

9802445 Hall This application requests partial funding for a FASEB Summer Research Conference on Renal Hemodynamics: Integration of Endothelial Epithelial and Vascular Control Mechanisms to be held on June 27-July 2, 1998 at Vermont Academy, Saxton's River, Vermont under the auspices of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB). The conference will assemble investigators from multiple disciplines who use diverse approaches (cell and molecular to integrative whole animal) to understand the regulation of the renal circulation. The format consists of nine major sessions, five morning and four evening sessions, with daily pre-dinner poster discussion sessions. There will be approximately 75 invited speakers who, after brief overview by the session chairs, will address current unresolved issues and recent ongoing research directed at their resolution. Each speaker has been asked to present their most recent unpublished work and to focus on identifying the major unanswered questions in the field and the experimental approaches to answering these questions. Each presentation is followed by discussion and there is a large amount of time available in the afternoons for informal discussions among the participants. Previous conferences in 1989, 1992, and 1995 were very successful and conducive to the exchange of ideas among the participants. Given the rapid developments in this important area, we expect that the 1998 conference will foster further exchange and interaction among investigators working at different levels within this complex integrated system. To stimulate future investigative interests in the area, attempts have been made to identify young investigators from active, contributing laboratories as speakers (including fellows and trainees) with special attention given to minorities and women.
