DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Environmental Endocrine Disruptors continues to be the premier meeting in the field of endocrine disruptor research. This GRC is perhaps the only scientific meeting in which every single talk is directly related to the mission of NIEHS and began in 1998 as a unique forum to attract researchers from across the research spectrum who shared common interests in the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on wildlife and human health. This meeting has been held biennially since 1998 and is organized by the GRC, an organization internationally known for the high quality, cutting-edge nature of its meetings. Now in its 9th incarnation, this GRC attracts experts from basic science, clinical medicine, epidemiology, public health, government, NGOs and industry, perhaps the widest constituency of any GRC. The 2014 meeting will be held at Lucca (Barga), Italy on May 11-16, 2014, together with an associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) at the same location (May 10-11) which is oriented toward early stage investigators (junior faculty, fellows and students). Key goals for the 2014 GRC are to link observations in wildlife with mechanistic laboratory studies using model systems and human clinical and epidemiological studies to provide an integrated view of how EDCs affect health. Sessions have been planned on reproductive health, thyroid disruption, obesity/metabolism and immunity. These areas are similar to those of past meetings (because the topics continue to be areas of great concern). The 2014 meeting is distinct because the program has been designed to integrate wildlife, laboratory animal and human clinical and epidemiological studies into nearly every session. One slot in each session has been reserved for emerging hot topic talks to be selected from submitted abstracts to ensure that the latest results (particularly from young scientists) are presented. The GRS was held for the first time at the 2012 GRC and was enthusiastically received. Activities during this GRS are intended to: (1) provide young investigators with a strong background in mechanisms through which EDCs act and cutting edge approaches to study them to maximize their understanding of the science to be discussed in the subsequent GRC, (2) produce feedback on their ongoing research projects from their peers and from experts in the field, and (3) facilitate peer interactions to promote future networking. The scientific discussions, research talks, poster sessions, and informal interactions among the participants of the GRC and GRS will greatly contribute to advancing our understanding of novel molecular mechanisms involved in endocrine disruption of human health. The interactions and collaborations forged here will provide a strong base for future international efforts to understand and mitigate the important public health problem of endocrine disruption.

描述（由申请人提供）： 戈登环境内分泌干扰物研究会议 (GRC) 仍然是内分泌干扰物研究领域的首要会议。这次 GRC 或许是唯一一次每次演讲都与 NIEHS 使命直接相关的科学会议，始于 1998 年，作为一个独特的论坛，吸引来自各个研究领域的研究人员，他们对内分泌干扰化学品 (EDC) 对野生动物和人类健康的影响有着共同的兴趣。该会议自 1998 年以来每两年举行一次，由 GRC 主办，GRC 是一个以其会议质量高、前沿性而闻名的国际组织。如今，该 GRC 已进入第九届，吸引了来自基础科学、临床医学、流行病学、公共卫生、政府、非政府组织和行业的专家，可能是所有 GRC 中支持范围最广的。 2014 年会议将于 2014 年 5 月 11 日至 16 日在意大利卢卡（巴尔加）举行，同时还将在同一地点（5 月 10 日至 11 日）举行相关的戈登研究研讨会 (GRS)，该研讨会面向早期研究人员（初级教师、研究员和学生）。的主要目标 2014 GRC 将利用模型系统以及人类临床和流行病学研究将野生动物的观察结果与机制实验室研究联系起来，以提供 EDC 如何影响健康的综合观点。会议计划讨论生殖健康、甲状腺破坏、肥胖/新陈代谢和免疫力。这些领域与过去会议的领域相似（因为这些主题仍然是人们高度关注的领域）。 2014 年的会议与众不同，因为该计划旨在将野生动物、实验动物和人类临床和流行病学研究融入到几乎每一次会议中。每场会议都预留了一个时段，用于从提交的摘要中选择新兴热点话题的演讲，以确保呈现最新的结果（特别是来自年轻科学家的结果）。 GRS在2012年GRC上首次举办，并受到热烈欢迎。 GRS 期间的活动旨在：(1) 为年轻研究者提供有关 EDC 行动机制的强大背景以及研究它们的前沿方法，以最大程度地理解随后的 GRC 中将讨论的科学，(2) 向同行和该领域的专家提供关于他们正在进行的研究项目的反馈，以及 (3) 促进同行互动，以促进未来的网络。 GRC 和 GRS 参与者之间的科学讨论、研究讲座、海报会议和非正式互动将极大地有助于增进我们对人类健康内分泌干扰所涉及的新分子机制的理解。这里建立的互动和合作将为未来了解和减轻内分泌干扰这一重要公共卫生问题的国际努力奠定坚实的基础。
