DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this R13 proposal is to seek support for the American Physiological Society (APS) Specialty Conference entitled "Integrative Biology of Exercise VI" scheduled for October 11-13, 2012 in Westminster, Colorado. The conference will bring together national and international scientists from multiple disciplines involved in research with broad relevance to the field of exercise physiology. Physical activity is a fundamental process of life, similar to reproduction and nutrition. However, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services, physical inactivity has become increasingly prevalent in the US and is estimated to contribute substantially to the etiology of many major diseases, including coronary heart disease, osteoporosis, colon cancer, breast cancer to name but a few. Thus, research directed at identifying the molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms that underlie the link between sedentary behavior and disease etiology potentially holds critical keys to developing effective prevention/therapeutic strategies. The Integrated Biology of Exercise conference has been held every four years since its inception in 1992 to coordinate, exchange, and disseminate the latest molecular, cellular, biological and physiological research amongst the national and international scientists working in this broad interdisciplinary field. The previous five IBE meetings have averaged 623 registrants and 357 abstract submissions per meeting. The American Physiological Society has sponsored the conferences since 1992 and NIAMS has provided matching funds to support each of the five previous meetings. The IBE conference has a rich history of involving promising young investigators in the program and creating an enthusiastic forum for promoting and engaging emerging scientists in the field. Given the limited programming availability at national annual meetings, the strong scientific program and opportunities for professional growth and networking has established the IBE conference as a "must attend" meeting in the field. The proposed program for the 2012 meeting continues this successful formula. The specific aims of the IBE VI conference are: 1. To convene an internationally recognized, interdisciplinary group of scientists to present, exchange, and discuss the latest research findings, to identify key questions needing to be addressed to advance the exercise physiology field, and to consider new and provocative ideas. 2. To promote the wide-spread participation of young investigators and trainees, with an emphasis on women and underrepresented minorities, through both a pre-/postdoc abstract award program and the APS minority travel award program. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The 2012 Integrative Biology of Exercise (IBE) conference is held once every four years and has been sponsored by the American Physiological Society since its inception in 1992. The IBE conferences satisfy the scientific needs of a large constituent of national and international scientists conducting research on various aspects of exercise physiology. A primary objective of the IBE VI conference will be to bring together nationally and internationally known scientists working in the area of exercise physiology as well as related interdisciplinary fields to coordinate, exchange, and disseminate research findings. Particular emphasis has been placed by the Organizing Committee on identifying the unknowns and the key challenges facing the field to impart significant advances in preventing and treating diseases related to lack of physical activity. Improving our collective understanding of the underlying mechanisms by which physical inactivity contributes to disease etiology and the mechanisms by which activity at the molecular and cellular levels prevents/reverses disease are critical to devising strategies to address the current disturbing health trends.

描述（由申请人提供）：本R13提案的目的是为定于2012年10月11日至13日在科罗拉多威斯敏斯特举行的题为“运动VI的综合生物学”的美国生理学会（APS）专业会议寻求支持。会议将汇集来自多个学科的国家和国际科学家，他们参与了与运动生理学领域广泛相关的研究。身体活动是生命的基本过程，类似于生殖和营养。然而，根据美国卫生与公众服务部的数据，缺乏身体活动在美国变得越来越普遍，据估计，这是许多主要疾病的主要病因，包括冠心病、骨质疏松症、结肠癌、乳腺癌等。因此，针对确定久坐行为和疾病病因之间联系的分子、细胞和生理机制的研究可能是开发有效预防/治疗策略的关键。 自1992年成立以来，运动综合生物学会议每四年举行一次，以协调，交流和传播在这个广泛的跨学科领域工作的国家和国际科学家之间的最新分子，细胞，生物和生理研究。国际教育局前五届会议平均每次会议有623名注册者和357份摘要提交。自1992年以来，美国生理学会一直赞助这些会议，NIAMS提供了配套资金，以支持前五次会议。国际教育局会议有着丰富的历史，让有前途的年轻研究人员参与该计划，并为促进和吸引该领域的新兴科学家创造了一个热情的论坛。鉴于国家年度会议的计划有限，强大的科学计划和专业发展和网络的机会使国际教育局会议成为外地“必须参加”的会议。2012年会议的拟议方案延续了这一成功模式。国际教育局第六届会议的具体目标是：1.召集一个国际公认的跨学科科学家小组，介绍，交流和讨论最新的研究成果，确定需要解决的关键问题，以推进运动生理学领域，并考虑新的和挑衅性的想法。2.促进年轻的调查人员和学员的广泛参与，重点是妇女和代表性不足的少数民族，通过前/博士后摘要奖计划和APS少数民族旅行奖计划。 公共卫生相关性：2012年运动综合生物学（IBE）会议每四年举行一次，自1992年成立以来一直由美国生理学会赞助。国际教育局会议满足了大量从事运动生理学各方面研究的国家和国际科学家的科学需求。国际教育局第六届会议的主要目标是将在运动生理学领域以及相关跨学科领域工作的国内外知名科学家聚集在一起，协调、交流和传播研究成果。组织委员会特别强调确定该领域面临的未知因素和主要挑战，以便在预防和治疗与缺乏身体活动有关的疾病方面取得重大进展。提高我们对缺乏身体活动导致疾病病因的潜在机制以及分子和细胞水平的活动预防/逆转疾病的机制的集体理解，对于制定应对当前令人不安的健康趋势的战略至关重要。
