DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): "The Auditory System" Gordon Research Conference ("Auditory GRC") will convene ~125-150 scientists of diverse expertise at Bates College on July 13-18, 2014, to discuss and debate new findings in hearing research and related fields, under the theme of "Encoding hearing: From Genes to Behavior". The Auditory GRC is preceded by a smaller Gordon Research Seminar ("Auditory GRS", July 12-13) comprising talks and posters by 40-50 investigators-in-training and serving as a gateway to the GRC. Together the Auditory GRC & GRS offer a unique combination of features, including: breadth of research; cutting-edge emphasis; mingling of investigators from all ranks and diverse sub-fields and locales; and intimate size and extended discussion time, allowing for close and sustained interactions. Some of these features arise from unique qualities of the hearing research field and others from the Gordon Conferences' established nature. Since the 1930s, the GRC organization has supported meetings that are famous for their unfettered debate and discussion of emerging results. The program of the 2014 Auditory GRC emphasizes the diverse ways in which auditory and related information is encoded, broadly interpreted so as to include new results in areas from genetics to central nervous system physiology and behavior. Topics include genetic regulation of inner ear epithelia, hair bundles, and birdsong; hair cell transduction and synaptic transmission; noise trauma at cochlear and systems levels; and neural encoding of sound location, speech, and auditory scenes. We have learned from experience to spread different model systems and technologies throughout the sessions, so that each session has something for everyone - encouraging unusually high attendance throughout the meeting and cross-fertilization across disciplines. The clinical importance of auditory research will be highlighted with presentations that consider the mechanisms underlying human disorders (e.g. noise trauma and aging) and translational efforts to fix them (e.g., hair cell regeneration). For the Auditory GRS, talks are selected from registrants' submitted abstracts and anchored by a keynote address by an invited mentor-participant who is an assistant professor. Mentoring is an active component of the GRS - in addition to the keynote speaker, the GRC organizers (more senior investigators) are available for discussion, and a mentoring session featuring a representative from NIDCD and other grant agencies is planned.

描述（由申请人提供）：“听觉系统”戈登研究会议（“听觉GRC”）将于2014年7月13日至18日在贝茨学院召集约125-150名不同专业的科学家，讨论和辩论听力研究和相关领域的新发现，主题为“编码听力：从基因到行为”。在听觉GRC之前，有一个较小的戈登研究研讨会（“听觉GRS”，7月12日至13日），由40-50名正在培训的调查员进行演讲和海报，并作为GRC的门户。听觉GRC和GRS一起提供了一个独特的功能组合，包括：研究的广度；尖端的重点;来自各个级别和不同分支领域和地区的调查人员的混合；以及亲密的尺寸和延长的讨论时间，允许密切和持续的互动。其中一些特征来自听力研究领域的独特品质，另一些则来自戈登会议的既定性质。自20世纪30年代以来，GRC组织支持了一些会议，这些会议以不受限制地辩论和讨论新出现的结果而闻名。2014年听觉GRC的课程强调听觉和相关信息编码的多种方式，广泛地解释，以便包括从遗传学到中枢神经系统生理学和行为等领域的新结果。主题包括内耳上皮、毛束和鸟鸣的遗传调控；毛细胞转导与突触传递；耳蜗和系统水平的噪声损伤；以及声音定位、言语和听觉场景的神经编码。我们从经验中学习到在整个会议中传播不同的模型系统和技术，因此每个会议都有适合每个人的东西——在整个会议中鼓励不同寻常的高出勤率和跨学科的交叉施肥。听力研究的临床重要性将通过考虑人类疾病（如噪音创伤和衰老）的潜在机制和修复它们的转化努力（如毛细胞再生）来强调。对于听觉GRS，演讲从注册人提交的摘要中选择，并由受邀的助理教授导师-参与者进行主题演讲。指导是GRS的一个活跃组成部分——除了主讲人之外，GRC的组织者（更资深的研究人员）也可以参加讨论，并计划由NIDCD和其他资助机构的代表参加指导会议。
