This application seeks three years of funding support for the 23rd-25th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Mammary Gland Biology. This long-established conference is one of just a few annual meetings that falls into the "must-attend" class for mammary biologists and breast cancer researchers. The meeting aims to integrate research into the how the mechanisms underlying normal mammary gland development and environmental exposures contribute to both the risk and prevention of breast cancer as well as assuring competent lactation to meet the nutritional needs of children around the world. This multidisciplinary conference is the key meeting for the dissemination of findings that reveal the aberrant biological features of breast cancer by placing them into the context of normal function. The unique Gordon Conference format, where researchers share three meals per day and mandated social time over a working week, encourages the friendship and trust that very fosters both incisive discussions and the initiation of collaborative ventures. It is also the only meeting in this highly competitive field that maintains the tradition and expectation of revealing unpublished work. It also offers students and postdocs unprecedented access and exposure with a large number of slots reserved for presentations by this group. The international participation offers opportunities for unique perspectives and collaborations. For all of the reasons above, the demand for places at the Mammary Gland Biology GRC is high, as evidenced by the fact that it is one of the most popular conferences run by the GRC. To meet demand the GRC organization places this conference in their largest venues, and unlike most GRCs, the Mammary Gland Biology GRC is run every year, alternating between European and US sites fostering international collaborations. Even by adopting annual conferences, demand for the meeting routinely exceeds the limits placed on the conference by venue seating capacity. Further, the conference routinely receives high praise from its attendees when polled by the GRC organization, emphasizing the high value this conference provides to the attendees. The Mammary Gland Biology GRC has received unbroken NIH support for more than 6 years. This support has underpinned the success of the conference. To assure the continuity of its success, this proposal requests support for the next three conference years.

本申请为第 23-25 届戈登乳腺生物学研究会议 (GRC) 寻求三年的资助。这个历史悠久的会议是乳腺生物学家和乳腺癌研究人员“必须参加”的少数年度会议之一。该会议旨在将研究整合到正常乳腺发育和环境暴露的潜在机制如何有助于乳腺癌的风险和预防，以及确保有效的哺乳以满足世界各地儿童的营养需求。这次多学科会议是传播研究结果的关键会议，这些研究结果通过将乳腺癌的异常生物学特征置于正常功能的背景下来揭示它们。 独特的戈登会议形式，研究人员每天共享三顿饭，并在一周的工作时间内享受规定的社交时间，鼓励友谊和信任，从而促进深入的讨论和合作项目的启动。这也是这个竞争激烈的领域中唯一保持揭露未发表作品的传统和期望的会议。它还为学生和博士后提供了前所未有的访问和接触机会，并为该小组的演讲保留了大量席位。国际参与提供了独特视角和合作的机会。 出于上述所有原因，乳腺生物学 GRC 的席位需求很高，这一点可以从它是 GRC 举办的最受欢迎的会议之一这一事实中得到证明。为了满足需求，GRC 组织将本次会议安排在其最大的场地，与大多数 GRC 不同，乳腺生物学 GRC 每年举办一次，在欧洲和美国地点轮流举办，以促进国际合作。即使采用年度会议的方式，会议的需求也经常超出会议场地座位容量的限制。此外，在 GRC 组织的民意调查中，该会议经常获得与会者的高度评价，强调了该会议为与会者提供的高价值。 乳腺生物学 GRC 六年多来一直得到 NIH 的持续支持。这些支持为本次会议的成功奠定了基础。为了确保其成功的连续性，该提案请求在未来三年的会议中获得支持。
