DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research on the nematode worm C. elegans ranges from investigating such global problems as the circuitry and function of an entire nervous system and the organization of a genome, to investigating elements involved in control of gene expression and specification of the fates of individual cells. C. elegans has become an important experimental organism for the study of many aspects of animal biology, particularly the genetic and molecular bases of development and behavior. The international meeting has run biennially since 1979 and is the only International meeting dedicated to C. elegans. We are requesting funds to help cover costs and travel of six percent of participants to attend the international C. elegans Meeting to be held at the University of California in Los Angeles, CA, in 2003. We are also requesting similar funds for the 2005 meeting to be held at a location to be determined. The Organizing Committee will rank applications for support, basing their funding decisions on 1) the potential contributions of the applicants to the meeting, 2) the benefits the applicants will receive from attending the meeting and 3) minority status. As this is the only international meeting dedicated to C. eIegans research, the committee is particularly anxious to encourage participation of women and minorities. Previous C. elegans meetings have led to the exchange of knowledge, ideas, methods, mutants, and clones and have been vital in fostering the sense of excitement and the collegiality and cooperativity that characterize this field.

描述（由申请人提供）： 对线虫秀丽隐杆线虫的研究范围从研究整个神经系统的电路和功能以及基因组的组织等全球问题，到研究涉及控制基因表达的元素和单个细胞命运的规范。秀丽隐杆线虫已成为研究动物生物学许多方面的重要实验生物，尤其是发育和行为的遗传和分子基础。 自1979年以来，国际会议已每两年一次举行，并且是唯一致力于秀丽隐杆线虫的国际会议。 我们要求资金来帮助支付成本和六％的参与者的旅行，参加2003年在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶分校举行的国际秀丽隐章会议。我们还要求为2005年会议提供类似的资金，以确定2005年会议。 组织委员会将根据1）申请人对会议的潜在贡献的资金决定对支持的申请进行排名，2）申请人从参加会议上获得的好处以及3）少数群体身份。 由于这是唯一致力于C. Eiegans研究的国际会议，因此该委员会特别渴望鼓励妇女和少数民族的参与。 以前的秀丽隐杆线虫会议导致了知识，思想，方法，突变体和克隆的交流，并且对于培养该领域的兴奋感以及合作和合作性至关重要。
