In this proposal we request partial support for the 16th , 17th and 18th Biennial Gordon Research Conferences on Mammary Gland Biology. The sixteenth conference will be held June 3-8, 2001 at Roger Williams University, Bristol, Rhode Island. The site and dates for the 17th and 18th conferences have not been set, but are expected to be in similar time period in 2003 and 2005, at one of the approved GRC sites. Roger Williams College is a new venue for this conference. It features excellent accommodations and a pleasant location that should prove productive for personal interactions. The Mammary Gland Biology conference has traditionally been highly successful, bringing together scientists from various disciplines who share a common interest in the Mammary gland. The 2001 program has been designed with the aim of satisfying this multidisciplinary audience. The Program includes: An overview in which recent progress in three broad areas, Endocrinology, Development, and Cancer, are summarized, new directions are pointed out, and unsolved problems or ambiguities are brought to attention. Not only will this provide an exciting introduction, but importantly, will also encourage audience participation at early stage in the conference. Subsequent sessions focus on Tissue interactions; IGF in development and cancer; Cell identity, Differentiation and function; Tumor progression and Metastasis; Genome stability/DNA repair; The lactation cycle; and Signal Transduction. One plenary speaker slot in each sessions will remain open for a time, permitting later selection of "hot" topics. The 2003 conference program is not yet set, but will continue the highly successful interdisciplinary tradition. Conference presentations and discussions will not be published, recorded, or cited. This policy encourages conferees to engage in informal discussions and multidisciplinary interactions. The large increase in mammary biomedical research brought about increased funding through the NIH and the U.S. Army sponsored program, has important implications to health scientists in any disciplines, so this interdisciplinary approach, so successful in the past, now has even greater potential. Conference funding is requested in support of those who invited speakers whose topics were related to those of the NIH, as well as to support the increasing participation of junior scientists, as well more experienced researchers, becoming interested in mammary gland biology and in the breast cancer problem.

在这项提案中，我们要求部分支持第16届，第17届和第18届两年一度的戈登乳腺生物学研究会议。 第十六届会议将于2001年6月3日至8日在罗得岛的布里斯托的罗杰威廉姆斯大学举行。 第17次和第18次会议的地点和日期尚未确定，但预计将在2003年和2005年的类似时间内，在一个经批准的GRC地点举行。罗杰威廉姆斯学院是这次会议的新地点。 它拥有一流的住宿和舒适的地理位置，应该证明个人互动的生产力。 乳腺生物学会议历来非常成功，汇集了来自不同学科的科学家，他们对乳腺有着共同的兴趣。 2001年方案的设计目的是满足这一多学科的观众。 该方案包括：概述了内分泌学、发育和癌症三大领域的最新进展，指出了新的方向，并引起了人们对未解决的问题或含糊之处的注意。 这不仅将提供一个令人兴奋的介绍，但重要的是，也将鼓励观众在会议的早期阶段参与。随后的会议集中在组织相互作用; IGF在发展和癌症;细胞身份，分化和功能;肿瘤进展和转移;基因组稳定性/DNA修复;哺乳周期;和信号转导。 每届会议的一个全体发言人时段将保持开放一段时间，以便以后选择“热门”议题。 2003年的会议计划尚未确定，但将继续非常成功的跨学科的传统。会议演示和讨论不会被发布、记录或引用。 这项政策鼓励与会者进行非正式讨论和多学科互动。 乳腺生物医学研究的大量增加通过NIH和美国陆军赞助的项目带来了更多的资金，对任何学科的健康科学家都有重要的影响，因此这种跨学科的方法在过去非常成功，现在有更大的潜力。 会议资金的要求，以支持那些谁邀请演讲者的主题是相关的国家卫生研究院，以及支持年轻的科学家越来越多的参与，以及更有经验的研究人员，成为感兴趣的乳腺生物学和乳腺癌问题。
