DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests partial support for the Gordon Research Conference on Cellular and Molecular Fungal Biology to be held at the Holderness School, June 15-20, 2014. The broad and long-term goal of the conference is to increase our collective understanding of basic fungal biology and its application to socially important problems. Fungi cause important human diseases, and much of the research presented will directly address the interests of the NIH-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. Furthermore, fungi are among the best and most tractable eukaryotic model organisms; in the broad sense, almost all of the conference will be central to the aims of NIH-National Institute of General Medical Science. The specific aim of this meeting will be to convene participants of an unprecedented range of expertise in fungal biology, including cell/molecular, systems, and evolutionary biology in order to address how fungi grow, reproduce, interact with other organisms, and function in their environments. The 46 speakers among approximately 140 attendees will be together for five days in a setting with few distractions. Approximately 90 posters will be presented in three shifts. The oral and poster sessions are designed for succinct and efficient communication of unpublished results with emphasis on discussion and networking; evaluations from past conferences demonstrate the effectiveness of this format. The 2014 meeting will feature new research representing the full range of fungal biology including genome dynamics, microbiomes, systems biology, evolutionary and population genomics, pathogenesis and symbiosis, and cell biology. The significance of this application is the demonstrated effect of this conference in accelerating research in the international fungal biology community, including prevention and treatment of disease. The health relatedness of this application centers on the role of fungi in human disease, including three of the most important diseases of transplant and other immunocompromised patients, candidiasis, cryptococcosis and aspergillosis, as well as systemic fungal diseases that infect immunocompetent patients such as coccidiodes.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请请求部分支持将于 2014 年 6 月 15 日至 20 日在霍尔德内斯学院举行的戈登细胞和分子真菌生物学研究会议。会议的广泛和长期目标是增加我们对基础真菌生物学及其在社会重要问题中的应用的集体理解。真菌会导致重要的人类疾病，所提出的大部分研究将直接满足美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）国家过敏和传染病研究所的利益。此外，真菌是最好、最容易处理的真核模型生物之一。从广义上讲，几乎所有会议都将以 NIH（美国国立普通医学科学研究所）的目标为中心。这次会议的具体目标是聚集真菌生物学领域前所未有的专业知识的参与者，包括细胞/分子、系统和进化生物学，以解决真菌如何生长、繁殖、与其他生物体相互作用以及在其环境中发挥作用的问题。大约 140 名与会者中的 46 名演讲者将在几乎没有干扰的环境中共聚五天。大约 90 张海报将分三班展示。口头和海报会议旨在对未发表的结果进行简洁有效的交流，强调讨论和交流；以往会议的评价证明了这种形式的有效性。 2014 年会议将重点介绍代表真菌生物学全方位的新研究，包括基因组动力学、微生物组、系统生物学、进化和群体基因组学、发病机制和共生以及细胞生物学。此次申请的意义在于展示了本次会议在加速国际真菌生物学界的研究，包括疾病的预防和治疗方面的效果。该应用程序的健康相关性集中于真菌在人类疾病中的作用，包括移植和其他免疫功能低下患者的三种最重要的疾病：念珠菌病、隐球菌病和曲霉病，以及感染免疫功能正常患者的系统性真菌病，例如球孢子菌病。
