2010 Oceans and Human Health GRC-Conference and Seminar

该奖项将为第二届海洋与人类健康戈登研究会议（2010年6月13日至18日）和戈登研究研讨会（6月12日至13日）提供部分支持。海洋与人类健康的主题涉及医学，基因组学和海洋学学科交叉的科学，以及对人类健康和福祉的影响和影响。戈登研究会议（GRC）和戈登研究研讨会（GRS）关于海洋和人类健康的目的和范围是提供一个多学科平台，讨论包括海洋和人类健康在内的快速发展的高度跨学科领域的知识现状，确定和辩论未解决的问题，并讨论新的研究方向。GRC和GRS将汇集具有不同背景的专家和学生，包括藻类和微生物生物学，物理和生物海洋学，流行病学和公共卫生，基因组学，蛋白质组学和代谢组学，毒理学，药理学和经济学。全球资源中心/全球资源中心的一个重要动机是，作为一个新的科学学科，海洋与人类健康没有一个论坛来促进参与相关研究的科学家和学生之间的互动和对话。该领域的重要性反映在国家科学基金会对海洋和人类健康研究的持续支持上。第二届海洋与人类健康研讨会将讨论的主题是：会议主题：海洋药典、休闲沃茨、建模和预测、“组学”的实际应用、（R）海产品安全的演变、海洋与人类健康国际、蓝细菌和变暖世界中的海洋。通过正式演讲，海报会议和科学家和学生之间的非正式互动，会议将：（1）聚集最高水平的学术，政府和工业科学家和学生，研究海洋和人类健康领域的最新发展，并审查藻类和微生物生物学的最新相关研究，物理和生物海洋学、流行病学和公共卫生、基因组学和蛋白质组学、毒理学、药理学和经济学;（2）通过为参与者提供在轻松友好的环境中进行互动的机会，促进海洋和人类健康研究前沿科学家之间公开交流信息和思想;和（3）通过参加正式会议、海报展示和非正式互动，吸引女性、少数民族和初级教师和学生（博士后和研究生）参与海洋和人类健康研究领域。海洋与人类健康研究生研讨会专门针对这一新兴学科的学生。有关这些会议的信息将通过专业协会和个人联系广泛传播。将通过在少数群体和其他机构刊登广告和亲自接触的方式寻找少数群体的参与者。

This award from NSF will provide partial support for the second Oceans and Human Health Gordon Research Conference (June 13-18, 2010) and Gordon Research Seminar (June 12-13). The subject of Oceans and Human Health concerns science at the intersection of medical, genomic, and oceanographic disciplines, and the implications for and effects on human health and well-being. The purpose and scope of the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Oceans and Human Health are to provide a multidisciplinary platform for discussing the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving, highly interdisciplinary fields that comprise Oceans and Human Health, to identify and debate unresolved questions, and to discuss new research directions. The GRC and GRS will bring together experts and students with diverse backgrounds, including algal and microbial biology, physical and biological oceanography, epidemiology and public health, genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, toxicology, pharmacology, and economics. An important motivation for the GRC/GRS is the fact that as a new scientific discipline, Oceans and Human Health does not have a forum to facilitate interactions and dialogue among the scientists and students involved in relevant research. The significance of the field is reflected by ongoing support of oceans and human health research by the National Science Foundation. The topics to be discussed in the second Oceans and Human Health GRC/GRS are: Session Topics: Ocean Pharmacopia, Recreational Waters, Modeling and Prediction, Practical Applications of "Omics", (R)evolution in Seafood Safety, Oceans and Human Health International, Cyanobacteria, and Oceans in a Warmer World.Broader Impacts: Through formal presentations, poster sessions and informal interactions between scientists and students, the conference will: (1) assemble the highest caliber of academic, government and industrial scientists and students to examine recent developments in the fields of Oceans and Human Health and review the latest pertinent research in algal and microbial biology, physical and biological oceanography, epidemiology and public health, genomics and proteomics, toxicology, pharmacology, and economics; (2) foster the open exchange of information and ideas among scientists at the cutting edge of Oceans and Human Health research by providing opportunities for participants to interact in a relaxed and friendly environment; and (3) 3ngage female, minority and junior faculty and students (postdoctoral and graduate) in the field of Oceans and Human Health research through participation at formal sessions, poster presentations and informal interactions. The Graduate Research Seminar in Oceans and Human Health is targeted specifically at mentoring students in this new emerging discipline. Information concerning these meetings will be broadly disseminated through professional societies and by personal contact. Minority participants will be sought by advertising and personal contact at minority and other institutions.
