DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The current proposal for a conference to discuss "Extracellular and Membrane Proteases in Cell Signaling" will be the 17th in a series of Growth Factor and Signal Transduction (GFST) conferences have been held at Iowa State University since 1988. These conferences have been funded from various sources including federal, state, university, and private agencies. The attendance has varied between about 80 and 150 at each conference with substantial national and international representation. The purpose of the conference is to explore the role of extracellular proteases in regulating cell signaling. The meeting will bring together speakers who are studying a variety of extracellular proteases and their roles in cell signaling and disease. Our objectives for this conference are to encourage the presentation of the newest findings and to promote intensive exchange of information from disparate areas of the field, discussion of mechanisms, and initiation of new collaborations. In this conference a series of plenary lectures presented by the key participants will be interwoven with sessions during which some participants will give oral presentations. Other participants will present posters. Oral and poster presenters will be chosen from the submitted abstracts. Plenary talks will be 35 min with 10 min for discussion. Speakers for the workshops will be chosen from the submitted abstracts and will each have 15 minutes to talk with 5 minutes for discussion. These symposia generally attract a large number of students and postdoctoral fellows from across the nation and the world, many of whom present posters or short talks. To increase the opportunity for interaction among all participants and to maintain an atmosphere of informality, the number of participants will be restricted to a maximum of 150. The program is designed with interaction in mind and with frequent breaks for discussion. Live background music will be included with the dinners and at the reception to promote relaxed and prolonged discussion. The cost of meals is included in the registration and all meals are served in a single dining room. A dessert party is planned for after dinner on the Friday night to provide a means for people to gather and talk in a relaxed atmosphere. The results of the evaluations from previous conferences in this series show that the greatest strength of these conferences is that they promote discussion and intellectual stimulation.

描述(由申请人提供)：目前提议召开一次会议，讨论“细胞信号中的细胞外和膜蛋白”，这将是自1988年以来在爱荷华州立大学举行的一系列生长因子和信号转导(GFST)会议中的第17次。这些会议的资金来自不同的来源，包括联邦、州、大学和私人机构。每次会议的出席人数从80人到150人不等，有大量的国家和国际代表。 这次会议的目的是探索细胞外蛋白水解酶在调节细胞信号中的作用。这次会议将汇集正在研究各种胞外蛋白酶及其在细胞信号和疾病中的作用的演讲者。我们这次会议的目标是鼓励介绍最新的发现，并促进来自该领域不同领域的密集信息交流、机制讨论和启动新的合作。 在这次会议上，主要与会者所作的一系列全体讲座将与一些与会者进行口头陈述的会议交织在一起。其他参赛者将赠送海报。口头和海报演示者将从提交的摘要中选出。全体会议发言时间为35分钟，讨论时间为10分钟。研讨会的发言者将从提交的摘要中选出，每人有15分钟的发言时间和5分钟的讨论时间。这些研讨会通常吸引了来自全国和世界各地的大量学生和博士后研究员，其中许多人展示了海报或简短的演讲。 为了增加所有与会者之间互动的机会，并保持非正式的气氛，与会者人数将限制在最多150人。该项目的设计考虑到了互动，并经常中断讨论。晚宴和招待会上将包括现场背景音乐，以促进轻松和长时间的讨论。餐费包括在登记中，所有的餐饮都在一个餐厅里提供。计划在周五晚上的晚餐后举行甜点派对，为人们提供一个在轻松的气氛中聚集和交谈的手段。 对本系列历届会议的评价结果表明，这些会议最大的优势在于促进了讨论和智力激发。
