DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposal requests partial support for the Gordon Research Conference on Proteoglycans that will be held on July 8-13, 2012 in Proctor Academy, Andover, NH. The conference has been held every two years since 1984 and has an outstanding reputation. It brings together a diverse group of investigators who will present new and unpublished high impact research on proteoglycans in an intense yet informal setting. The conference will be composed of invited speakers chosen by a scientific organizing committee that includes former Proteoglycan Gordon Conference Chairs and others who have substantial research expertise proteoglycans research. In addition to assembling high level proteoglycan research scientists the conference provides a forum for new investigators to present their work in poster sessions or, in some cases, as invited speakers to give short talks that are intertwined between the core set of invited speakers. The Gordon conference setting provides a unique and effective way for all of the attendees to closely interact. The extended discussions as well as the well-organized pastoral setting at Proctor Academy gives attendees ample opportunity for direct interaction with speakers so they can gain additional insight into the latest research findings and, at the same, facilitate the formation of new collaborations. The proteoglycan field is well known for its collegiality, open discussions, and support of junior investigators. Originally the conference focused primarily on cartilage and arthritis. However over time it became clear that proteoglycans have critical functions in numerous biological systems including the formation and pathology of many parts of the musculoskeletal system such as muscle, bone, tendons and teeth. In addition to their function in the skeleton the proteoglycans have fundamental roles in immunology and inflammation, vascularization, cardiac function, cancer and development. The roles of proteoglycans in these systems has provided a pivotal foundation for devising therapy to treat common diseases associated with them and these research areas will be the focus of the proposed conference. Proteoglycans have also been shown to have key roles in rare diseases such as multiple hereditary exostoses, and mucopolysaccharidosis both of which will be highlighted in the program. This year two new sessions will be added that will address the role of proteoglycans in stem cell biology and tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The Proteoglycan conference is very international with over 33% of the attendees coming from Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and Africa. Attendees will be selected by invitation from the applications submitted online and will be chosen to represent a diverse set of researchers and careful attention will be paid to the inclusion of women and underrepresented minorities in all aspects of the conference including Discussion Leaders, Speakers, Poster Presenters and Attendees. This year the Proteoglycans community will hold its first Gordon Research Seminar on July 7 and 8 at Proctor Academy focused on the Proteoglycans in "(Re)generation, Repair and Therapeutics". PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The goal of the conference is to promote the exchange of ideas, new findings, concepts, and technology related to proteoglycan research in human disease. It is anticipated that the outcome of the conference will be an enhanced understanding of numerous human diseases, including those that involve pathologies in human development, the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, vascular system, immunity, and cancer, and that this understanding will ultimately lead to the formulation of new drugs and treatments for combating these diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求部分支持将于2012年7月8日至13日在新罕布什尔州安多弗普罗科特学院举行的戈登蛋白多糖研究会议。该会议自1984年以来每两年举行一次，享有盛誉。它汇集了一群不同的研究人员，他们将在紧张而非正式的环境中提出新的和未发表的对蛋白多糖的高影响研究。会议将由科学组织委员会选择的特邀演讲者组成，该委员会包括前蛋白多糖戈登会议主席和其他具有大量蛋白多糖研究专业知识的人。除了召集高水平的蛋白多糖研究科学家之外，会议还为新的研究人员提供了一个论坛，他们可以在海报会议上展示他们的工作，或者在某些情况下，作为受邀演讲者，在受邀演讲者的核心集合之间进行简短的演讲。戈登会议设置为所有与会者提供了一个独特而有效的方式来密切互动。广泛的讨论以及
