DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks partial funding for the South Eastern Regional Lipid Conference (SERLC) to be held on November 13-15, 2013 at the High Hampton Inn, Cashiers, North Carolina. This will be the 48th annual conference on this subject. This year's special focus will be inflammation not only as a deliberate attempt to engage new researchers who might not otherwise attend the conference, but also given the research interests of the organizers this year. These funds will be used specifically to support the registration and travel expenses of junior investigators, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students who will be attending the conference and presenting their work as invited short talks or posters. The funds will also be used for travel expenses related to the Keynote speakers and for fees related to the hosting site. The broad goal of this successful and established conference is to provide a platform for annual review and discussion of the most recent and late breaking research on the analysis, detection, regulation, function and biomedical relevance of lipids. Lipid enzymes play central roles in many aspects of cell regulation by producing or modulating bioactive lipids and lipid-derived mediators. For example, phospholipases A generate fatty acids (FA) and lysophospholipids. These enzymes initiate production of lipid ligands, including the eicosanoid metabolites of arachidonic acid and exert important functions in inflammation. In addition, the conference will include presentations on the most recent understanding of enzymes that synthesize and degrade sphingolipids pertaining to cellular processes, apoptosis and autophagy, as well as sessions dedicated to groundbreaking up-dates on lipid analysis, biochemistry, transport and signaling. The conference brings together scientists and physician scientists in diverse disciplines including genetics, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, and biomedical research with a shared interest in lipid research as well as investigators whose research led to study lipids, given their pleiotropic functions. The conference has a strong record of established and world-renowned investigators as Keynote speakers, but mainly focuses on presentations by graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. Thus, the conference not only provides an effective forum for promoting collaborations and disseminating new advances in the field, but also serves as a training platform for young scientists with a special emphasis on presenters from underrepresented groups. The subject area is one that receives considerable support from the NIH with over 3,400 active projects and to date, this field has generated >900,000 publications. The funds requested in this proposal will be used to provide travel awards to junior investigators including individuals from underrepresented minorities and will make an invaluable contribution to the support of this conference.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请旨在为将于2013年11月13日至15日在北卡罗来纳州收银员高汉普顿酒店举行的东南地区脂质会议（SERLC）提供部分资金。这将是关于这个主题的第48届年会。今年的特别关注点将是炎症，这不仅是为了吸引那些可能不会参加会议的新研究人员，而且也是考虑到组织者今年的研究兴趣。这些资金将专门用于支持初级研究人员、博士后研究员和研究生的注册和差旅费，他们将参加会议并作为受邀的简短演讲或海报展示他们的工作。这些资金还将用于与主旨发言人有关的差旅费以及与主办网站有关的费用。这个成功且既定的会议的总体目标是提供一个平台，对有关脂质的分析、检测、调节、功能和生物医学相关性的最新和最新突破性研究进行年度审查和讨论。脂质 酶通过产生或调节生物活性脂质和脂质衍生的介体在细胞调节的许多方面起中心作用。例如，磷脂酶A产生脂肪酸（FA）和溶血磷脂。这些酶启动脂质配体的产生，包括花生四烯酸的类花生酸代谢物，并在炎症中发挥重要作用。此外，会议将包括对合成和降解与细胞过程，细胞凋亡和自噬有关的鞘脂的酶的最新理解的介绍，以及致力于脂质分析，生物化学，运输和信号传导的突破性更新的会议。会议汇集了不同学科的科学家和医生科学家，包括遗传学，生物化学，细胞和分子生物学， 和生物医学研究与脂质研究的共同兴趣以及研究人员的研究导致研究脂质，因为他们的多效性功能。会议记录良好 作为主题演讲者，我们邀请了世界知名的研究人员，但主要侧重于研究生和博士后研究员的演讲。因此，会议不仅为促进合作和传播该领域的新进展提供了一个有效的论坛，而且还为青年科学家提供了一个培训平台，特别强调来自代表性不足群体的演讲者。该主题领域得到了NIH的大力支持，有3，400多个活跃的项目，迄今为止，该领域已产生了超过900，000篇出版物。本提案所要求的资金将用于向初级调查员，包括代表人数不足的少数群体的个人提供旅费，并将为支持这次会议作出宝贵贡献。
