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）：本申请为将于 2013 年 11 月 13 日至 15 日在北卡罗来纳州凯希尔斯 High Hampton Inn 举行的东南地区脂质会议 (SERLC) 寻求部分资助。这将是关于这一主题的第 48 届年度会议。今年的特别焦点将是炎症，这不仅是为了吸引原本可能不会参加会议的新研究人员，而且也是考虑到今年组织者的研究兴趣。这些资金将专门用于支持初级研究员、博士后研究员和研究生的注册和旅费，他们将参加会议并以受邀简短演讲或海报形式展示他们的工作。这些资金还将用于与主题演讲者相关的差旅费以及与主办网站相关的费用。这次成功举办的会议的总体目标是为脂质分析、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提供年度回顾和讨论平台。脂质 酶通过产生或调节生物活性脂质和脂质衍生介质，在细胞调节的许多方面发挥核心作用。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二十烷酸代谢物，并在炎症中发挥重要功能。此外，会议还将介绍对与细胞过程、细胞凋亡和自噬相关的鞘脂合成和降解酶的最新理解，以及专门讨论脂质分析、生物化学、运输和信号传导方面突破性更新的会议。该会议汇集了不同学科的科学家和医师科学家，包括遗传学、生物化学、细胞和分子生物学、 和对脂质研究有共同兴趣的生物医学研究，以及由于其多效性功能而进行脂质研究的研究人员。会议取得了良好的记录 由知名的世界知名研究人员作为主讲人，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，而且还为年轻科学家，特别是来自代表性不足群体的演讲者提供了培训平台。该学科领域得到了 NIH 的大力支持，拥有超过 3,400 个活跃项目，迄今为止，该领域已产生超过 900,000 种出版物。本提案中要求的资金将用于向初级研究人员（包括来自代表性不足的少数族裔的个人）提供旅费奖励，并将为本次会议的支持做出宝贵贡献。
