 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Gordon Research Conference is a highly successful venue for bringing together ~200 world-class clinicians, scientists and engineers to discuss materials-related strategies for disease remediation and tissue repair. The theme of the 2015 conference is "Regenerative Engineering and Functional Materials Integration" which focuses on fundamental concepts of cell biology, stem cell science, materials science, and cell-material interactions, specifically highlighting the regenerative properties of bone marrow niche as well as strategies to harness the functions of the immune, blood vessel, and nervous systems to treat injury and prevent disease. This proposal seeks support for the Gordon Research Conference on Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering to be held July 19 through July 24, 2015 at the Melia Golf Vichy Catalan Business and Convention Center in Girona, Spain. The 2015 conference program brings together a unique collection of academic and industrial speakers and discussion leaders at the forefront of their fields that is diverse in career stage, gender, nationality and ethnicity. The 2015 program also adheres strongly to the GRC directive of holding vigorous formal and informal discussions among prominent investigators in biomaterials and tissue engineering, junior attendees of the conference, and researchers from underrepresented groups. Requested funds will be used to support the registration for faculty, researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students who attend the conference, with priority going to the support of participation of members of underrepresented groups, i.e. women, minorities and persons with disabilities. In addition, the 2015 Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering GRC will be held in conjunction with the Gordon Research Seminars (GRS) for its second year. The 2015 GRS is organized by a talented and enthusiastic young scientist, Dr. Jagannath Padmanabhan (Yale), who will continue the work established in 2013 for young researchers to network and exchange ideas, as they prepare to engage the broader GRC community. The GRS provides the GRC with an even larger pipeline for building community, disseminating cutting-edge science, and promoting success of a racially and gender diverse generation of 50 junior investigators. The GRS will include a keynote by a leading senior investigator, as well as oral and poster sessions at which young investigators will give research presentations. Furthermore, to help participants with their decisions on future career or research directions, a concluding panel will discuss the topic of 'Industry vs. Academia - Challenges and Opportunities'. The panel will consist of a combination of junior and senior faculty, journal editors, scientists from national laboratories, and/or funding agency program officers. We are confidant that this program will provide a unique and rewarding opportunity for young scientists.

 描述（由申请人提供）：生物材料和组织工程戈登研究会议是一个非常成功的场所，汇集了约200名世界级临床医生、科学家和工程师，讨论疾病修复和组织修复的材料相关策略。2015年会议的主题是“再生工程与功能材料集成”，重点关注细胞生物学、干细胞科学、材料科学和细胞-材料相互作用的基本概念，特别强调了 骨髓生态位的再生特性以及利用免疫、血管和神经系统的功能来治疗损伤和预防疾病的策略。该提案旨在支持将于2015年7月19日至7月24日在西班牙赫罗纳的Melia Golf Vichy Catalan Business and Convention Center举行的生物材料和组织工程戈登研究会议。2015年的会议计划汇集了一批独特的学术和工业演讲者和讨论领袖，他们在各自领域的最前沿，在职业阶段，性别，国籍和种族方面各不相同。2015年的计划也坚持强烈举行积极的正式和非正式的讨论在生物材料和组织工程，会议的初级与会者，并从代表性不足的群体的研究人员之间的GRC指令。申请的资金将用于支持参加会议的教师、研究人员、博士后研究员和研究生的登记，优先支持代表性不足的群体，即妇女、少数民族和残疾人的参与。此外，2015年生物材料和组织工程GRC将与戈登研究研讨会（GRS）一起举办。2015年的GRS由一位才华横溢、充满热情的年轻科学家Jagannath Padmanabhan博士（耶鲁大学）组织，他将继续开展2013年为年轻研究人员建立网络和交流思想的工作，因为他们准备参与更广泛的GRC社区。GRS为GRC提供了一个更大的管道，用于建设社区，传播尖端科学，并促进种族和性别多样化的50名初级调查员的成功。GRS将包括一位领先的高级研究人员的主题演讲，以及年轻研究人员将进行研究报告的口头和海报会议。此外，为了帮助参与者决定未来的职业或研究方向，最后一个小组将讨论“行业与学术界-挑战与机遇”的主题。该小组将由初级和高级教师，期刊编辑，国家实验室的科学家和/或资助机构项目官员组成。我们相信，这一计划将为年轻科学家提供一个独特的和有益的机会。
