Zebrafish Development and Genetics Conference

项目摘要 我们提议举行一系列三次两年期会议，讨论在以下方面取得的进展： 斑马鱼作为研究脊椎动物发育和疾病的模式生物。这些 会议将于2018年6月，2020年和2022年举行，将是第13，14和 在1994年发起并得到该赠款支助的成功系列中的第15次会议 自2000年以来本次会议的目的是促进前沿的交流， 对斑马鱼广泛的横截面进行一系列主题的研究 研究社区。 斑马鱼发育和遗传学国际会议提供了一个 斑马鱼研究人员有机会分享他们最新的发现和新的 技术.演讲者是从组织者提交的摘要中选出的 和会议主席，根据影响和新奇，特别强调 未公布的数据。因此，裁谈会在历史上有一个主要的“弹弓”， 在该领域的影响，每两年推出一个新的时代的研究和发现。 按照前几次会议的传统，我们希望拟议的 会议将成功地创造分享成果的机会， 技术，建立合作，协调社区资源， 初级调查员和受训人员的曝光和成功。 该会议历来吸引了斑马鱼研究人员的两种性别， 在广泛的职业水平上， 代表学生，博士后，和初级和高级教师。这笔赠款 将为两名受邀主旨发言人的登记和住宿提供支助， 特邀会议主席和从摘要中选出的25名平台发言人。这些 将根据影响力和原创性选择25名财政支持接受者 他们的摘要以及性别，种族，职业阶段和需要的基础上。

PROJECT SUMMARY We propose a series of three biennial conferences discussing progress made using zebrafish as a model organism to study vertebrate development and disease. These conferences, to be held in June of 2018, 2020, and 2022, will be the 13th, 14th and 15th meetings in a successful series initiated in 1994 and supported by this grant since 2000. The goal of this meeting is to facilitate communication of cutting-edge research studies on an array of topics to a wide cross-section of the zebrafish research community. The International Conference on Zebrafish Development and Genetics provides an opportunity for zebrafish researchers to share their most recent discoveries and new technologies. Speakers are selected from the submitted abstracts by the organizers and session chairs, based on impact and novelty with a strong emphasis on unpublished data. Thus the Conference has historically had a major “slingshot” effect on the field, every two years launching a new era of research and discovery. Continuing in the tradition of previous conferences, we expect that the proposed conferences will succeed in creating opportunities for sharing results and technologies, forging collaborations, coordinating community resources, and fostering the exposure and success of junior investigators and trainees. The Conference has historically drawn zebrafish researchers of both genders in approximately equal proportions, at a wide range of career levels with strong representation of students, post-docs, and both junior and senior faculty. This grant will support the registration and accommodation of two invited keynote speakers, 22 invited session chairs, and 25 platform presenters selected from the abstracts. These 25 recipients of financial support will be chosen based on the impact and originality of their abstracts as well as on the basis of gender, race, career stage and need.
