 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for partial support of the 2015 Collagen Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and the associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). It will be the 27th meeting of this GRC since its inception in 1970 and 3rd meeting of the GRS since its inception in 2011. The GRC will be held at the Colby-Sawyer College in New London, NH, from July 12th to July 17th. It will be preceded by the GRS at the same location, from July 11th to July 12th. This GRC has historically provided a unique forum for a diverse, international group of junior and senior scientists to present and discuss recent advances at the frontier of chemistry, biology and pathology of connective tissues with a focus on collagens, which are the major components of these tissues. The conference provides an environment conducive to informal interactions and discussions among investigators of different interests and technical expertise that enrich and advance the field. Collaborations are established, new scientists are recruited to the field, and major discoveries about collagen are often reported for the first time at this conference. The GRS provides a forum for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to showcase and discuss their work among peers and mentors. All GRS attendees are encouraged to participate in the GRC, enhancing the participation of young scientists and enriching the conference atmosphere. The specific aims of the 2015 Collagen GRC and GRS are: 1) to communicate and disseminate new, mostly unpublished data and concepts; 2) to promote interactions and collaborations among basic, clinical, and industry researchers; 3) to facilitate student and fellow interactions among each other and with established scientists; and 4) to increase diversity and attract new researchers to the collagen field. The program will focus on new, unpublished findings and concepts relating expression, biosynthesis and structure of collagens to their function and pathology, particularly in applicatio to developmental biology and disorders of muscle, bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and skin as well as to inflammation and rheumatic diseases. Importantly, new session topics have been integrated into the traditional program to bolster interest, increase participation in the conference, ensure enthusiasm throughout the week, and promote major advancements in the field. Each session will feature graduate students and postdoctoral fellows selected from the GRS. New topics relative to the previous conference include Collagens in Basement Membranes, Collagens in Cell Niche and Cell Signaling, Collagens in Organism Physiology, and Collagen Based Materials and Bioengineering. The other session will provide updates on such important topics as Expression and Regulation of Collagen Genes and Gene Networks, Structure and Function of Different Domains in Collagen Molecules, Collagen Homeostasis, and Collagens in Pathology. Overall this international conference will showcase the major advances in the field of collagen research and will be, as it has always been, the seminal conference in the field.

 描述（由申请人提供）：这是2015年胶原蛋白戈登研究会议（GRC）和相关戈登研究研讨会（GRS）的部分支持申请。这将是本集团自1970年成立以来的第27次会议，以及自2011年成立以来的第3次会议。GRC将于7月12日至7月17日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的Colby-Sawyer学院举行。在此之前，GRS将于7月11日至7月12日在同一地点举行。这个GRC历史上提供了一个独特的论坛，一个多元化的，国际组的初级和高级科学家介绍和讨论在化学，生物学和病理学的前沿结缔组织的最新进展，重点是胶原蛋白，这是这些组织的主要成分。会议提供了一个有利于不同兴趣和技术专长的调查人员之间进行非正式互动和讨论的环境，丰富和推动了该领域的发展。建立合作，招募新的科学家进入该领域，关于胶原蛋白的重大发现经常在这次会议上首次报道。GRS为研究生和博士后研究员提供了一个论坛，在同行和导师之间展示和讨论他们的工作。鼓励所有GRS与会者参加GRC，提高年轻科学家的参与度，丰富会议氛围。 2015年胶原蛋白GRC和GRS的具体目标是：1）交流和传播新的，大多未发表的数据和概念; 2）促进基础，临床和行业研究人员之间的互动和合作; 3）促进学生和研究人员之间以及与知名科学家的互动; 4）增加多样性并吸引新的研究人员进入胶原蛋白领域。该计划将侧重于新的，未发表的发现和概念有关的表达，生物合成和胶原蛋白的结构，他们的功能和病理，特别是在发育生物学和肌肉，骨骼，软骨，韧带，肌腱和皮肤疾病以及炎症和风湿性疾病的应用。重要的是，新的会议主题已被整合到传统的计划，以提高兴趣，增加参与会议，确保整个星期的热情，并促进该领域的重大进展。每次会议将有研究生和博士后研究员从GRS选择。相对于前一次会议的新主题包括胶原蛋白在基底膜，胶原蛋白在细胞龛和细胞信号，胶原蛋白在生物生理学，胶原蛋白为基础的材料和生物工程。另一个会议将提供胶原蛋白基因和基因网络的表达和调节，胶原蛋白分子中不同结构域的结构和功能，胶原蛋白稳态和病理学中的胶原蛋白等重要主题的更新。总的来说，这次国际会议将展示胶原蛋白研究领域的重大进展，并将一如既往地成为该领域的开创性会议。
