DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The second Gordon Conference on Cellular Osmoregulation: Sensors, Transporters and Regulators will be held Aug. 7-12, 2005 at Salve Regina College in New Port, RI. The conference provides a forum for the study of mechanisms involved in the sensing, transport, and regulation of organic osmolytes brought about by extracellular osmotic imbalances, as well as the study of mechanisms involving effects of these osmolytes on the structure, function, and folding of macromolecules within the cells. The conference encompasses the breadth and depth of osmoregulation research in plants, animals, and microorganisms. It covers multiple levels of investigations ranging from the physical chemistry of water-osmolyte-macromolecule interactions to osmolyte transport and sensing of osmotic differences, and ultimately to the molecular machinery and processes associated with osmoregulatory responses in organs and whole organisms. In nine scientific sessions, we plan a highly interdisciplinary program of presentations involving worldwide investigators discussing their most recent discoveries on the mechanisms of osmoregulation. Many of these investigators are funded through NIH for work on osmolytes, osmotic responses in the kidney, and the pathophysiology of osmotic imbalances. The program will also provide opportunities for those applying to attend to present their research in poster sessions, or if selected by the Organizing Committee, to also give a short talk on their work. Poster abstracts will be used as a basis for selecting those to give short talks and also for partial coverage of expenses. Selections will be made on the basis of the merit of the work described in the abstract along with achieving diversity in terms of gender, age, and minority status (when it can be discerned). Particular attention will be paid to increasing the participation of junior researchers (graduate students and postdocs) and young investigators in the early stages of their careers. A primary goal in this second conference is to grow the community of scholars working on osmoregulation and we see the younger segment of this community as an important source of new ideas and technique development, and as the ones likely to open new areas of investigation into osmoregulation. In all aspects of the conference and scientific program we will promote the involvement of women, minorities, and people with disabilities who wish to engage in research on osmoregulation.

描述（由申请人提供）： 第二届戈登蜂窝渗透调节会议：传感器，运输商和监管机构将于2005年8月7日至12日在RI New Port的Salve Regina College举行。会议为研究提供了一个论坛，以研究参与细胞外渗透失衡带来的有机渗透剂的传感，运输和调节，以及涉及这些渗透剂对细胞内部巨型分子的结构，功能和折叠的机制的研究。会议涵盖了植物，动物和微生物的渗透压研究的广度和深度。它涵盖了从水溶剂分子相互作用的物理化学性质到渗透差异的多个研究，以及最终的分子机械和与器官和整个生物体中渗透测量反应相关的过程。在九次科学会议中，我们计划了一项高度跨学科的演讲计划，其中涉及全球调查人员，讨论了他们关于渗透压机制的最新发现。这些研究人员中有许多是通过NIH资助的，用于渗透渗透，肾脏的渗透反应以及渗透失衡的病理生理学。该计划还将为申请参加海报会议介绍其研究的人提供机会，或者如果由组织委员会选出，也对他们的工作进行了简短的演讲。海报摘要将被用作选择简短谈判以及部分支出的基础。选择将根据摘要中描述的工作的优点进行，并在性别，年龄和少数群体地位（可以看出）方面实现多样性。将特别注意增加初级研究人员（研究生和博士后）和年轻研究人员在职业生涯的早期参与。第二次会议的主要目的是建立从事渗透压调节的学者社区，我们将这个社区的年轻部分视为新思想和技术发展的重要来源，并且可能开放有关渗透压调节的新领域。在会议和科学计划的各个方面，我们将促进希望从事渗透压研究的妇女，少数民族和残疾人的参与。
