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(申请人提供)：本R13提案的目的是为2012年10月11日至13日在科罗拉多州威斯敏斯特举行的美国生理学会(APS)题为“运动VI的综合生物学”的专业会议寻求支持。这次会议将汇集来自多个学科的国内外科学家，他们参与了与运动生理学领域广泛相关的研究。体力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，缺乏运动在美国越来越普遍，据估计，缺乏运动对许多重大疾病的病因都有很大影响，包括冠心病、骨质疏松症、结肠癌、乳腺癌等等。因此，旨在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对开发有效的预防/治疗策略具有关键作用。 综合运动生物学大会自1992年成立以来，每四年举行一次，以协调、交流和传播在这一广泛跨学科领域工作的国内和国际科学家的最新分子、细胞、生物和生理研究。国际教育局前五次会议平均每次会议有623名登记者和357份摘要。美国生理学会自1992年以来一直赞助这些会议，NIAMS为之前五次会议的每一次都提供了相应的资金。国际教育局会议有着让有前途的年轻研究人员参与该项目的丰富历史，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。鉴于各国年度会议的计划编制有限，强大的科学计划以及专业成长和联网的机会使国际教育局会议成为总部外“必须出席”的会议。2012年会议的拟议方案延续了这一成功的模式。第六届国际教育局会议的具体目标是：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，以推动运动生理学领域的发展，并考虑新的和具有挑衅性的想法。2.通过博士后/博士后摘要奖励方案和APS少数民族旅游奖励方案，促进青年研究人员和受训人员广泛参与，重点是妇女和代表性不足的少数群体。 与公共健康相关：2012年综合运动生物学(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一大批国内和国际科学家对运动生理学各个方面进行研究的科学需求。第六届国际教育局会议的一个主要目标是将在运动生理学和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查明未知因素和外地面临的主要挑战，以便在预防和治疗与缺乏体力活动有关的疾病方面取得重大进展。增进我们对缺乏运动导致疾病病因的潜在机制以及分子和细胞一级的活动预防/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。
