DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for partial support of the Signaling by Adhesion Receptors Gordon Research Conference and the associated Gordon Research Seminar in 2014. It will be the 8th meeting of this premier conference and the second meeting of the GRS, and will be held at Bates College, Lewiston, ME from June 21-27. The conference has historically provided a unique forum to bring together an international group of early career and senior scientists with a common interest in the mechanisms of adhesion signaling and their relevance to development and disease, and this upcoming conference is no exception. Collaborations are established, new scientists are recruited to the field, and major discoveries about adhesion signaling are often reported for the first time at this conference. Specific Aims for the conference: " To disseminate new data and concepts about adhesion signaling. " To promote interactions and collaborations among basic research groups, clinical research groups, and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. " To familiarize investigators with new experimental approaches and emerging technologies. " To provide and informal atmosphere for discussion of new hypotheses and approaches. " To provide a collegial, interactive atmosphere in which both junior and senior investigators may interact. " To increase the number and diversity of students and fellows attending the conference, with a particular focus on women, minorities and persons with disabilities. The 2014 program will focus on new unpublished findings on adhesion signaling in all of the most actively researched topic areas. Importantly, few aspects of the traditional program in the conference have been retained, and new and emerging areas introduced to bolster interest, increase applicants for the conference, ensure enthusiasm throughout the week, and promote major advancements in the field. Importantly, each session will feature one or two talks from graduate students, postdoctoral research associates or early career investigators. These speakers will be selected from submitted abstracts to create opportunities for discussion of late-breaking discoveries and incorporate exciting posters as oral presentations. In addition, two speakers will be selected in competition from the GRS that is to be held in conjunction with the main conference. New topics relative to last year's conference include spatial control of adhesion signaling, cellular niches and tissue architecture, adhesion control of cell division and polarity, and tumor cell invasion and adhesion signaling therapies. Updates on important topics such as tension sensing and signaling, cytoskeletal regulation, mechanisms of migration, and in vivo models of adhesion signaling in development are also included. Overall this international conference will showcase the major advances in the field of adhesion signaling 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2014年粘附受体信号传导戈登研究会议和相关戈登研究研讨会的部分支持申请。这将是本次会议的第八次会议和GRS的第二次会议，将于6月21日至27日在缅因州刘易斯顿的贝茨学院举行。从历史上看，该会议提供了一个独特的论坛，汇集了一批对粘附信号传导机制及其与发育和疾病的相关性有共同兴趣的国际早期职业和资深科学家，这次即将举行的会议也不例外。合作建立起来，新的科学家被招募到这个领域，关于粘附信号的重大发现经常在这个会议上第一次被报道。会议的具体目标：“传播有关粘附信号的新数据和新概念。”促进基础研究小组、临床研究小组以及制药和生物技术公司之间的互动与合作。”让研究人员熟悉新的实验方法和新兴技术。”为讨论新的假设和方法提供一个非正式的氛围。”提供一个学院式的互动氛围，让初级和高级研究人员都能互动。”来
