Abstract This application is a request for funds to support the 3rd annual Marmoset Bioscience Symposium (MBS) to be held November 11, two days before the start of the 2021 Society for Neuroscience (SFN) meeting in Chicago, IL. This meeting will be registered as an SFN satellite symposium. The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has experienced unprecedented growth in research across the United States and is rapidly emerging as a likely keystone biomedical model system in the next chapter of scientific discovery. The major goal of the meeting is part of a multiple-pronged approach to establish a U.S.-based consortium aimed at highlighting cutting-edge research in marmosets and promoting marmosets as a key model system. This meeting will provide a networking forum for both established investigators and junior scientists from diverse backgrounds to interact and communicate their research findings. Critical to the success of the marmoset model is fostering the development of junior scientists in the field. This meeting is also aimed at attracting investigators who are currently not using marmosets in their research. The principal objectives of the MBS include: (1) to communicate and disseminate new findings from using marmosets as a model organism in diverse fields and development of new genetic, viral, and analytic tools that will advance research in marmosets; (2) to provide an open forum for discussion of new hypotheses and approaches and discrepancies in the literature and to facilitate the exchange of reagents such as antibodies, protocols, and viral toolbox; (3) to increase interactions and collaborations between basic scientists and translational and clinical groups interested in modeling human disease in the marmoset and (4) to provide an atmosphere in which researchers wishing to use marmosets in their research may interact directly with established investigators. These MBSs are highly relevant to the programmatic mission of multiple NIH ICs. The meetings consist of a Keynote Lecture, Young Investigator talks, invited talks from trainees and young investigators that are selected from submitted abstracts, and poster sessions. These meetings offer a unique combination of features, including (1) breadth of research, (2) cutting-edge questions and technologies, (3) mingling of investigators from all ranks and diverse sub-fields and locales, and (4) intimate size and extended discussion time, allowing for sustained interactions. Three tentative themes are planned: (1) Social behavior, physiology, and neural circuits, (2) Aging and neurodegenerative disease, and (3) Genetic, viral, and analytic tools developed for marmoset research. Finally, participation by women and those from underrepresented groups will be emphasized. Half of the oral presentations will be from these groups and half of the travel awards will be given to women. The leadership of the MBS itself is ~43% female.

抽象的 本申请是为支持将于 11 月 11 日举行的第三届狨猴生物科学研讨会 (MBS) 提供资金申请，即 2021 年神经科学学会 (SFN) 会议在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的前两天举行。本次会议将注册为SFN卫星研讨会。普通狨猴（Callithrix jacchus）在美国的研究经历了前所未有的增长，并迅速成为科学发现下一章的基石生物医学模型系统。这次会议的主要目标是建立一个美国联盟的多管齐下的一部分，旨在强调狨猴的前沿研究并促进狨猴作为关键模型系统。这次会议将为来自不同背景的资深研究人员和初级科学家提供一个网络论坛，以互动和交流他们的研究成果。狨猴模型成功的关键是培养该领域初级科学家的发展。这次会议还旨在吸引目前在研究中未使用狨猴的研究人员。 MBS 的主要目标包括：(1) 交流和传播在不同领域使用狨猴作为模式生物的新发现，以及开发新的遗传、病毒和分析工具，以推进狨猴研究； (2) 提供一个开放的论坛来讨论新的假设和方法以及文献中的差异，并促进抗体、实验方案和病毒工具箱等试剂的交流； (3) 增加基础科学家与对狨猴人类疾病建模感兴趣的转化和临床小组之间的互动和合作；(4) 提供一种氛围，让希望在研究中使用狨猴的研究人员可以直接与已有的研究人员互动。这些 MBS 与多个 NIH IC 的计划任务高度相关。会议包括主题演讲、青年研究者演讲、从提交的摘要中选出的受训者和青年研究者的邀请演讲以及海报会议。这些会议提供了独特的功能组合，包括（1）研究的广度，（2）前沿的问题和技术，（3）来自各级和不同子领域和地点的研究人员的混合，以及（4）亲密的规模和延长的讨论时间，允许持续的互动。计划三个暂定主题：(1) 社会行为、生理学和神经回路，(2) 衰老和神经退行性疾病，(3) 为狨猴研究开发的遗传、病毒和分析工具。最后，将强调妇女和代表性不足群体的参与。一半的口头演讲将来自这些团体，一半的旅行奖将颁发给女性。 MBS 本身的领导层约有 43% 是女性。
