描述（改编自应用程序） 这是2001年FASEB夏季会议部分资金的申请 2001年6月，将在 蒙大拿州白鱼镇会议由联合会主办 美国实验生物学学会（American Societies for Experimental Biology，FASEB） 这次会议的目的是汇集主要研究人员在 类固醇激素作用和骨生理学领域，以及年轻的研究人员 （研究生，博士后研究员和初级教师）讨论 在非正式环境中进行创新想法和研究， 科学交流。 本次会议的具体目标是：1）促进科学交流 骨生物学和类固醇激素领域的主要研究者 生理学和药理学，在一个非正式的气氛，鼓励 介绍新的信息和想法。2)提供机会， 年轻的研究人员，刚刚开始他们的研究和科学生涯， 在一群知名的研究者面前展示他们的科学数据 在同龄人之前将作出具体努力，鼓励 妇女和代表性不足的少数群体的调查人员的参与。 讨论的主题包括：类固醇激素的结构和 类固醇激素辅激活子和辅抑制子的功能和作用 类固醇的功能、雌激素和骨中的促孕作用、新的方面 激素受体信号传导，选择性雌激素受体调节剂，雄激素 作用/组织选择性雄激素、糖皮质激素、维生素D和 类似物/行动机制（2次会议）和海报会议（4次会议）。 将有九场口头会议，每场会议平均包括四场演讲。的 第一个讲座将是一个约四十分钟的“长谈。三 每次口头发言亦会安排20分钟的“简短谈话”。 上网时段将有四个海报会议。六场“自由交流” 也将举行。将提供充分的讨论时间。

DESCRIPTION (adapted from the application) This is an application for partial funding of the 2001 FASEB summer conference on "STEROIDS AND BONE" to be held in June, 2001 at the Big Mountain Resort in Whitefish, Montana. The conference is held under the auspices of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB). The objective of this meeting is to bring together leading investigators in the area of steroid hormone action and bone physiology, and young investigators (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty) to discuss innovative ideas and research in an informal setting that is conducive to scientific interchange. The Specific Aims of this conference are: 1) To foster scientific interchange between leading investigators in the area of bone biology and steroid hormone physiology and pharmacology, in an informal atmosphere that encourages the presentation of new information and ideas. 2) To provide the opportunity to young investigators, just beginning their research and scientific careers, to present their scientific data before an audience of established investigators and before their peers. Specific efforts will be made to encourage the participation of women and investigators from under represented minorities. The topics to be included for discussion are: Steroid Hormone Structure and Function, the Role of Co-activators and Co-repressors in Steroid Hormone Function, Estrogen and Progesterone Actions in Bone, Novel Aspects of Steroid Hormone Receptor Signaling, Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators, Androgen Action /Tissue Selective Androgens, Glucocorticoid Hormones, Vitamin D and Analogs/Mechanisms of Action (2 sessions) and Poster Sessions (4 sessions). There will be nine oral sessions, each including, on average four talks. The first talk will be a "long talk" of approximately 40 minutes duration. Three "short talks" of 20 minutes duration will also be scheduled in each oral session. There will be four poster sessions. Six "free communication" sessions will also be held. Ample time for discussion will be provided.
