HHMT 10th Biennial International Forum on Ovarian Cancer

描述(由申请人提供)：提交本提案是为了请求提供部分支持，以便于2005年4月4日至8日在华盛顿大都会地区(暂定地点：Westfield Marriott)举办海伦·哈里斯纪念信托基金第十届卵巢癌双年度国际论坛。海伦·哈里斯纪念信托基金(HHMT)于1987年4月6-8日在伦敦资助了它的第一个论坛。书籍和最近的立场文件都是在之前的所有论坛之后出版的。随着基因组学和分子生物学时代的到来，最初的论坛可能是首批关注卵巢癌所有方面的会议之一。这肯定是最负盛名的持续举行的关于卵巢癌的全面会议。这些论坛有助于提高人们对这种经常致命的疾病的认识，并为无数次合作创造刺激。这是通过在非正式的互动气氛中将临床科学家、实验室科学家和倡导者聚集在一起来实现的。因此，HHMT论坛对科学界和广大公众来说是一笔宝贵的财富。我们的目标是通过规划和执行第十届论坛，继续并改进这一悠久的卓越传统。为实现这一目标，我们建议落实以下具体目标： 具体目标1：最后确定组委会的组成。 具体目标2：确定海伦·哈里斯纪念信托基金第十届卵巢癌双年度国际论坛的计划，并挑选演讲者。 具体目标3：举办海伦·哈里斯纪念信托基金第十届卵巢癌双年度国际论坛。 具体目标4：发布会议摘要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is submitted to request partial support to convene the Helene Harris Memorial Trust 10th Biennial International Forum on Ovarian Cancer April 4-8, 2005 in the Washington D.C. metro area (tentative site: Westfields Marriott). The Helene Harris Memorial Trust (HHMT) supported its first forum in London April 6-8, 1987. Books and more recently position papers have been published subsequent to all of the previous Forums. The original Forum was perhaps among the first meeting to focus on all aspects of ovarian cancer as the age of genomics and molecular biology was dawning. It is most certainly the most prestigious consistently held comprehensive meeting on ovarian cancer. These Forums have served to heighten awareness of this frequently fatal disease and create the stimulus for innumerable collaborations. This is accomplished by bringing together clinical scientists, laboratory scientists, and advocates in an informal interactive atmosphere. As such, the HHMT Forums are a valuable asset to the scientific community and the public at large. Our goal is to continue and improve on this long tradition of excellence with the planning and execution of the 10th Forum. To achieve this goal, we propose to implement the following Specific Aims: Specific Aim 1: Finalize the composition of the organizing committee. Specific Aim 2: Finalize the program for the Helene Harris Memorial Trust 10th Biennial International Forum on Ovarian Cancer and select speakers. Specific Aim 3: Hold the Helene Harris Memorial Trust 10th Biennial International Forum on Ovarian Cancer. Specific Aim 4: Publish a synopsis of the meeting.
