DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Infertility is a problem that affects approximately 12-15% of couples in developed countries including the United States and Canada, and a significant portion of these cases are based on unknown causes (idiopathic infertility). At the same time, the need and desire for population control and family planning remain at an all-time high throughout the world and represent priorities in the US and Canada. In addition, diseases of the reproductive systems (e.g., ovarian, cervical, uterine, testicular or prostate cancer, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, and many others) impose a large burden on the US healthcare system. Taken together, these considerations impact a large proportion of the population in North America and therefore translate into very significant financial, political and cultural priorities in this region. Enhanced knowledge of the reproductive systems in general, and specific aspects of these systems including the gonads (testes and ovaries), the germ cells (spermatogenic and oogenic), the male and female reproductive tracts, and early embryos, represent the most promising avenue to the discovery of breakthroughs that will yield novel solutions to infertility or reproductive system diseases, or toward the development of novel methods of contraception. The new Gordon Research Conference on Mammalian Reproduction is designed to bring together experts in basic and translational research in multiple areas of reproductive biology and reproductive medicine. Topics to be discussed will include fate determination and development of reproductive tissues, epigenetic programming and reproduction, stem cells and reproduction, environmental effects on reproductive functions, pregnancy and par tuition, infertility and contraception, male reproductive tract, genomics and systems approaches to reproduction, and the founders' forum featuring scientists who have made lasting contributions to the field of reproductive biology/medicine.

描述（由申请人提供）：不孕症是一个问题，影响了包括美国和加拿大在内的发达国家大约12-15％的夫妇，其中很大一部分是基于未知的原因（特发性不育症）。同时，对人口控制和计划生育的需求和渴望在全球范围内保持历史最高，并代表了美国和加拿大的优先事项。此外，生殖系统的疾病（例如卵巢，宫颈，子宫，睾丸或前列腺癌，子宫内膜异位症，多囊卵巢综合征等）对美国医疗保健系统造成了巨大负担。综上所述，这些考虑因素影响了北美的很大一部分人口，因此转化为该地区非常重要的财务，政治和文化重点。一般来说，增强对生殖系统的知识以及这些系统的特定方面，包括性腺（睾丸和卵巢），生殖细胞（精子生成和卵子），男性和女性生殖道以及早期的胚胎，以及最有希望的突破性求解的途径，朝着新颖的态度促进了地下室或生殖的途径，这将是最有希望的途径。新的戈登哺乳动物生殖研究会议旨在将生殖生物学和生殖医学多个领域的基础和转化研究专家汇集在一起​​。要讨论的主题将包括命运的确定和发展生殖组织，表观遗传编程和繁殖，干细胞和繁殖，对生殖功能，妊娠和学费，不育和疾病的影响，男性生殖道，孕妇的生殖道，基因组学和系统方法，基因组学和系统的生殖学科学，以及对创始人的作者进行了贡献，这些科学的贡献是对制作的作品的作品。
