DESCRIPTION (adapted from the application) This application seeks partial funding for a FASEB SummerResearch Conference on Advances in Obesity - From the Environment to the Gene. This conference, which will examine several different features of obesity in the context of their environmental, physiological and molecular aspects, will be held August 18-23, 2001 in Snowmass Village, Colorado. The major goal of this conference is to allow participants to examine the characteristics and etiologic factors regarding obesity in broad context, such that those investigators working with similar issues, but using different scientific approaches, can appreciate the potential contributions of various disciplines to the problem. The feedback from previous FASEB conference participants has emphasized the need to keep this meeting as a multidisciplinary conference, covering several aspects of obesity. Thus, emphasis is placed not only on genetic and molecular aspects of obesity, which is a very heterogeneous condition, but also on the environmental and physiological milieu in which obesity develops and is treated. Thus, the present meeting provides a unique opportunity to cover the full spectrum of interests and approaches regarding obesity, body weight regulation and metabolism. There are three specific objectives for this conference: 1) To bring together senior scientists and junior investigators with worldwide expertise in the field of epidemiology, physiology, and molecular biology/genetics in a program structured to stimulate interactions. 2) To provide an evaluation of current knowledge regarding the various environmental, behavioral, physiological and genetic factors involved in the etiology of obesity. Extensive discussions on etiology and pathophysiology of complications will be emphasized. Finally, a session examining obesity treatment will be included given that the high prevalence of obesity is not declining. 3) It is hoped that this meeting will allow new/junior investigators to further develop their investigative skills by interacting with senior and established scientists in the field.

描述（改编自应用程序） 该申请寻求FASEB夏季研究会议的部分资金， 肥胖的进展-从环境到基因。的这次会议 将研究肥胖的几个不同特征， 环境，生理和分子方面，将于8月18日至23日举行， 2001年在科罗拉多的斯诺马斯村。这次会议的主要目标是 允许参与者检查特征和病因因素 在广泛的背景下关于肥胖，这样那些研究人员与 类似的问题，但使用不同的科学方法，可以欣赏 各种学科对问题的潜在贡献。反馈 从以前的FASEB会议与会者强调，需要保持 这次会议是一次多学科会议，涉及以下几个方面： 肥胖因此，重点不仅放在遗传和分子方面， 肥胖，这是一个非常异质性的条件，但也对环境 和生理环境，在其中肥胖症的发展和治疗。因此 本次会议提供了一个独特的机会， 关于肥胖、体重调节和 新陈代谢.这次会议有三个具体目标：1） 将资深科学家和初级研究人员聚集在一起， 流行病学、生理学和分子生物学领域的专业知识 生物学/遗传学在一个程序结构，以刺激相互作用。2)到 提供有关各种环境， 行为，生理和遗传因素参与的病因 肥胖广泛讨论并发症的病因和病理生理学 将被强调。最后，一个检查肥胖治疗的会议将是 考虑到肥胖症的高流行率并没有下降，3)是 希望这次会议将使新的/初级研究人员进一步发展， 他们的调查技能，通过与高级和建立互动 科学家在现场。
