DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Environmental Endocrine Disruptors (EED) is designed to provide scientists from a wide range of disciplines with the latest research findings on the role of endocrine disruptors in a variety o disease processes. This research conference has been held every 2 years since 1998; it is part of over 150 conferences that will be organized in 2012 by the GRC, an organization internationally known for the high quality, cutting-edge nature of its meetings. Attendance at the meeting has grown steadily since its inception 13 years ago. The 2012 GRC on EEDs will be held June 3-8, 2012 at the Mount Snow Resort, VT. The unifying goal for the 2012 conference is to link basic research, clinical investigation, and epidemiological studies to the real world environment. Sessions will include Science and Public policy; and links between EEDs and Women's Health, Men's Health, Neuroendocrine Systems, Thyroid and Immune Systems, and Gene-environment interactions (including molecular epigenetics). Other talks will relate EED exposures to evolutionary processes, and outcomes on ecosystems. The findings associated with these novel areas of research are in turn likely to affect the manner in which basic research is translated into interventions for EED exposures. This GRC will bring together leading international experts with a broad range of interests in a high quality scientific forum. In additin, for the first time in the history of this conference, a pre-conference Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar (GRS) will be organized by and for junior investigators. Activities during the GRS will be oriented to early stage investigators, particularly students and fellows, and are intended to: (1) provide them with the basic background on common mechanisms involved in environmental endocrine disruption necessary to maximize their understanding of the science which will be discussed in the subsequent conference, (2) receive feedback on their ongoing research projects from experts in the field, and (3) facilitate their interaction with their peers as well a senior members of this scientific community to promote networking at all levels. We fully anticipate that the scientific discussions, research talks, poster sessions, and other informal interactions among the participants of the GRC and GRS will contribute to advancing our understanding of novel molecular mechanisms involved in endocrine disruption of human health and will set the basis for the development of collaborative interventions aimed at promoting new therapeutic treatments for people exposed to these contaminants, and for mitigation of this public health problem. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Narrative The Gordon Research Conference on Environmental Endocrine Disruption, together with the pre-meeting Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar, will bring together leaders in a variety of scientific disciplines in this multi- and interdisciplinary field, along with junior investigators constituting the future generation of researchers. The scientific presentations, discussions and workshops during this conference are designed to expand our understanding of the mechanisms by which endocrine disruptors may contribute to disease processes, including effects of developmental exposures on human health, epidemiological studies, outcomes for wildlife and ecosystems, and underlying mechanisms of action of endocrine disruptors. It is anticipated that the collegial and cooperative atmosphere that has traditionally characterized this conference will provide the perfect setting for the intellectual development and collegial discussions to further biomedical research in this field.

描述（由申请人提供）：戈登环境内分泌干扰物研究会议（GRC）旨在为来自广泛学科的科学家提供有关内分泌干扰物在各种疾病过程中作用的最新研究成果。该研究会议自1998年以来每两年举办一次；这是2012年将由GRC组织的150多个会议的一部分，GRC是一个以高质量，前沿性质的会议而闻名于世的组织。自13年前成立以来，出席会议的人数稳步增长。2012年eed GRC将于2012年6月3日至8日在佛蒙特州雪山度假村举行。2012年会议的统一目标是将基础研究、临床调查和流行病学研究与现实世界的环境联系起来。会议将包括科学和公共政策；以及eed与女性健康、男性健康、神经内分泌系统、甲状腺和免疫系统以及基因-环境相互作用（包括分子表观遗传学）之间的联系。其他会谈将涉及EED暴露与进化过程，以及对生态系统的影响。与这些新研究领域相关的发现反过来可能会影响基础研究转化为ed暴露干预措施的方式。该GRC将在高质量的科学论坛上汇集具有广泛兴趣的领先国际专家。此外，在本次会议的历史上，第一次，一个会前戈登-凯南研究研讨会（GRS）将由年轻的研究人员和组织。GRS期间的活动将面向早期研究人员，特别是学生和研究员，目的是：(1)为他们提供有关环境内分泌干扰的常见机制的基本背景知识，以最大限度地提高他们对将在随后的会议中讨论的科学的理解；(2)从该领域的专家那里获得他们正在进行的研究项目的反馈；(3)促进他们与同行以及该科学社区的高级成员的互动，以促进各级网络。我们充分预期，GRC和GRS参与者之间的科学讨论、研究会谈、海报会议和其他非正式互动将有助于增进我们对涉及人类健康内分泌干扰的新分子机制的理解，并将为制定协作干预措施奠定基础，旨在促进对接触这些污染物的人的新治疗方法，并减轻这一公共卫生问题。
