DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The main goal of the Physical Virology Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is to facilitate interdisciplinary interactions and collaborations that will advance the fields of virology and nano-medicine by overcoming traditional boundaries between relevant disciplines. Bursts of progress in biomedical research are often the result of bringing conceptual and experimental tools from various disciplines to bear on a problem of common interest, in this case the structure, physical properties, and utility of viruses and virus-like self-assembled systems. While this topic is of interest to physicists, chemists, and biologist alike, scientists from these diverse fields rarely attend the same meeting. Very often, scientists in one discipline are simply unaware of the barriers limiting progress in another. From its inception in 2009, the Physical Virology GRC has been a focal meeting for a growing community of researchers that span these fields, but have common interests in the biology, chemistry, and nanotechnology of viruses and virus-inspired structures. Our goals are as follows. Specific Aim 1. Assemble an outstanding program of leading investigators, students, and postdocs in the field of physical virology, under the format of GRC gatherings. NIH support is essential to raising sufficient funds to allow colleagues from distant locations to attend the conference, necessary because the field includes prominent scientists from several European and Asian countries. The extended free time at the GRC provides a broad opportunity to explore collaboration. For example, mixing researchers with interests in virology and nanotechnology has already opened opportunities to generate new therapeutic approaches and new materials. The GRC format encourages a dialectic approach to scientific talks. The prerequisite for such a dialog is a sustained effort to communicate research across scientific boundaries. Specific Aim 2. Introduce students and postdocs to physical virology as an interdisciplinary field, and to the key principal investigators in the field. The Gordon-Keenan Research seminar preceding the GRC will allow students to freely exchange ideas in a non-intimidating environment. A specific goal of funding for this meeting is to support attendance of students and postdocs. The GRC schedule has been specifically adapted to include poster talks to encourage active participation of these young scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：物理病毒学戈登研究会议（GRC）的主要目标是促进跨学科的互动和合作，通过克服相关学科之间的传统界限，推动病毒学和纳米医学领域的发展。生物医学研究的突飞猛进往往是将不同学科的概念和实验工具用于解决共同感兴趣的问题的结果，在这种情况下，是病毒和病毒样自组装系统的结构、物理性质和效用。虽然物理学家、化学家和生物学家都对这个话题感兴趣，但来自这些不同领域的科学家很少参加同一次会议。很多时候，一个学科的科学家根本没有意识到限制另一个学科进步的障碍。自2009年成立以来，物理病毒学GRC一直是跨越这些领域的不断增长的研究人员社区的焦点会议，但他们对病毒和病毒启发结构的生物学，化学和纳米技术有共同的兴趣。我们的目标如下。具体目标在GRC聚会的形式下，召集物理病毒学领域的主要研究人员，学生和博士后的杰出计划。美国国立卫生研究院的支持对于筹集足够的资金以允许来自遥远地区的同事参加会议至关重要，因为该领域包括来自几个欧洲和亚洲国家的杰出科学家。在GRC延长的自由时间为探索合作提供了广泛的机会。例如，把对病毒学和纳米技术感兴趣的研究人员结合起来已经为产生新的治疗方法和新材料开辟了机会。GRC的形式鼓励以辩证的方式进行科学讨论。这种对话的先决条件是持续努力，跨越科学界限交流研究。具体目标2。向学生和博士后介绍物理病毒学作为一个跨学科领域，以及该领域的主要研究人员。在GRC之前的Gordon-Keenan研究研讨会将允许学生在一个不令人生畏的环境中自由交流思想。资助本次会议的一个具体目标是支持学生和博士后的出席。GRC的时间表已特别调整为包括海报讲座，以鼓励这些年轻科学家的积极参与。
