Integrating Genetics and Social Sciences Annual Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求五年的资金，以支持题为整合遗传学和社会科学（IGSS）的会议的延续，该会议已于2010年至2012年每年在博尔德的科罗拉多大学举行。这个为期两天的会议将展示社会科学家在基因与环境相互作用方面的新的实证工作，并将努力定义这个新的令人兴奋的领域的轮廓。2010年的会议得到了美国人口协会、NICHD资助的科罗拉多大学人口中心（CUPC）和科罗拉多大学社会学系的支持。2011年和2012年的会议得到了R13（R13 HD 066811）的支持，在本次新提交的文件中，正在寻求支持，以便在未来五年内继续举办该会议。与以前的赠款一样，该提案的目标是：（1）为基因-环境相互作用领域的领导者提供一个场所，以相互分享他们的理论，方法和实质性知识;（2）在基因-环境相互作用领域制作新的跨学科出版物;（3）确定迄今为止在该领域研究不足的新问题。这项建议的一个重要补充是，包括由该领域的领导人提供的关于统计遗传学现行方法的为期一天的讲习班。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests five years of funding to support the continuation of the conference entitled Integrating Genetics and the Social Sciences (IGSS) which has been held annually at the University of Colorado at Boulder from 2010-2012. This two day conference will showcase new empirical work on gene-environment interplay among social scientists and will strive to define the contours of this new and exciting area. The 2010 conference was supported by the Population Association of America, the NICHD funded University of Colorado Population Center (CUPC), and the Department of Sociology at the University of Colorado. The 2011 and 2012 meetings were supported by an R13 (R13 HD066811) and in this new submission, support is being sought to continue this conference for the next five years. As with the previous grant, the goals of this proposal are: (1) to provide a venue for the leaders in the area of gene-environment interplay to share their theoretical, methodological, and substantive knowledge with one another; (2) to produce new and interdisciplinary publications in the area of gene-environment interplay; and (3) to identify new issues that are, to date, understudied in this area. An important addition to this proposal is the inclusion of a one-day workshop on the current methods in statistical genetics provided by leaders in the area.
