DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested to help support the second Gordon Research Conference on Genes and Behavior, to be held on February 12th to 17th, 2004 at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel Ventura, California. Funds received from NIH would be used to partially defray the travel and meeting costs for invited speakers and discussion leaders from the US. In addition, support is requested for young investigators (postdocs and graduate students) from the US, with preference to be given to members of under-represented groups. The Conference will focus on selected, important topics at the interface of animal behavior, neurobiology, genetics, molecular biology, and evolutionary biology. Emphasis will be placed on catalyzing the integration of molecular genetics, biotechnology and the behavioral sciences. The aim of the second conference is the same as the highly successful first conference namely to bring together scientists developing genetic tools to study behavior in "model behavioral systems" with those who study behavior in "model genetic systems." All of the invited speakers and discussion leaders are highly regarded experts in their fields and were selected by the Conference Chair in consultation with a conference program committee. Special attention has been given to include experts from diverse disciplines in order to achieve a broadly based understanding of genes influence behavior. Recent advances in genomics and molecular biology are making it possible to examine in exquisite detail the relationship(s) between genes and behavior. We believe that much of the progress in this frontier area will come from two directions: expanding the range of behaviors studied in model genetic organisms, and applying the techniques developed in model genetic systems to model behavioral systems. We seek to use the Gordon Conference as the mechanism catalyze this process. The first Gordon Conference on Genes and Behavior was seen by nearly all participants as highly successful (based on the results of the GRC exit poll). The discussions were lively and by all accounts substantial progress was made in finding the common parameters among scientists from remarkably different backgrounds. We believe the second conference will be even more successful than the first.

描述（由申请人提供）：要求资金来帮助支持第二届戈登基因和行为研究会议，将于2004年2月12日至17日在加利福尼亚州的Ventura Sheraton Hotel 4点举行。从NIH收到的资金将用于部分支付旅行和满足美国的演讲者和讨论领导人的费用。此外，请求来自美国的年轻调查员（博士后和研究生）的支持，不愿给予代表性不足的群体成员。 会议将重点介绍动物行为，神经生物学，遗传学，分子生物学和进化生物学的界面的选定重要主题。重点将放在催化分子遗传学，生物技术和行为科学的整合。第二次会议的目的与非常成功的第一个会议相同，即将科学家与研究行为的人一起研究“模型行为系统”中的行为，以研究“模型遗传系统”的行为。 所有受邀的发言人和讨论领导者都是其领域的高度评价的专家，并由会议主席与会议计划委员会协商。特别注意包括来自不同学科的专家，以实现对基因的广泛理解影响行为。 基因组学和分子生物学的最新进展使得可能细节研究基因与行为之间的关系。我们认为，在这个边界领域的许多进展都将来自两个方向：扩大模型遗传生物中研究的行为范围，并将在模型遗传系统中开发的技术应用于模型行为系统。我们寻求使用戈登会议作为促进这一过程的机制。 几乎所有参与者都将第一次关于基因和行为的戈登会议视为非常成功的（根据GRC退出民意调查的结果）。讨论是生动的，并且在各个方面都取得了很大的进步，从而在科学家中找到了来自不同背景的科学家之间的共同参数。我们认为，第二次会议将比第一次会议更成功。
