DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Relaxin 2004, which will be the 4th international conference on relaxin and related peptides, will be held from September 5 through September 10, 2004 at Jackson Lake Lodge in Grand Teton National Park. Participants at Relaxin 2004 will include not only graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty from basic science and clinical departments in academic institutions, but also scientists from research institutes, hospitals, and commercial companies. The conference has five primary goals. The first is to assemble essentially all of the scientists in the world conducting research on relaxin and relaxin-related peptides in an informal setting that fosters not only extensive and free exchange of ideas but also the formation of subsequent collaborative studies. The second goal is to recruit and motivate young investigators to pursue research on relaxin and related peptides. The third goal is to promote the attendance of basic and clinical scientists who are not presently conducting research on relaxin and/or relaxin-related peptides in order to stimulate their interest in doing so. The fourth goal is to deliver a scientific program that provides comprehensive coverage of recent findings concerning both basic and clinical research on relaxin and relaxin-related peptides. The fifth goal is to publish the proceedings of Relaxin 2004 in a high quality book that assures that the proceedings are broadly distributed throughout the scientific community. In that regard the proceedings of Relaxin 2004 has been provisionally approved for publication in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. Topics to be covered at the conference are (1) Structure of relaxin and related peptides, (2) Structure/activity relationships of relaxin and related peptides, (3) Structure of relaxin and related peptide receptors, (4) Reproductive physiology of relaxin, (5) Nonreproductive effects of relaxin on the brain, heart, kidney, and liver, (6) Relaxin's effects on tissue growth and remodeling, (7) Relaxin-induced signal transduction pathways, (8) Physiological effects of relaxin-related peptides, and (9) Clinical uses of relaxin for diagnosis and/or treatment in domestic animals and humans. This application is to obtain funding that will assist in the attainment of the second goal by markedly reducing the registration fee for young scientists who will present their research at Relaxin 2004.

描述（由申请人提供）：松弛素2004，这将是松弛素和相关肽的第四届国际会议，将于2004年9月5日至9月10日在大提顿国家公园的杰克逊湖小屋举行。参加Relaxin 2004的人员不仅包括研究生、博士后研究员和来自学术机构基础科学和临床部门的教师，还包括来自研究机构、医院和商业公司的科学家。会议有五个主要目标。第一个目标是召集世界上从事松弛素和松弛素相关肽研究的所有科学家，在一个非正式的环境中，不仅促进广泛和自由的思想交流，而且形成随后的合作研究。第二个目标是招募和激励年轻的研究人员从事松弛素和相关肽的研究。第三个目标是促进目前没有进行松弛素和/或松弛素相关肽研究的基础和临床科学家的出席，以激发他们对这样做的兴趣。第四个目标是提供一个科学计划，提供有关松弛素和松弛素相关肽的基础和临床研究的最新发现的全面覆盖。第五个目标是以一本高质量的书出版Relaxin 2004的会议记录，以确保会议记录在整个科学界广泛传播。在这方面，Relaxin 2004的论文集已被临时批准在纽约科学院年鉴上发表。会议将涉及的主题是（1）松弛素和相关肽的结构，（2）松弛素和相关肽的结构/活性关系，（3）松弛素和相关肽受体的结构，（4）松弛素的生殖生理学，（5）松弛素对脑，心脏，肾脏和肝脏的非生殖作用，（6）松弛素对组织生长和重塑的影响，（7）松弛素诱导的信号转导途径，（8）松弛素相关肽的生理作用，和（9）松弛素在家畜和人类中用于诊断和/或治疗的临床用途。这项申请是为了获得资金，这将有助于实现第二个目标，大大减少注册费的年轻科学家谁将介绍他们的研究在松弛2004年。 会议网址：http://www.life.uiuc.edu/relaxin2004/
