PROJECT SUMMARY Conventional biomedical research targets the etiology of individual aging-related diseases. Yet chronic diseases in old age rarely come in isolation, and thus, even dramatic advances in disease-specific treatments will have minimal impact on the extension of disease-free years. An alternative that is likely to have a far greater payoff is to focus on their common risk factor, increased age, to understand how loss of the youthful state leads to increased disease risk. The 2020 ‘C. elegans Metabolism, Aging, Pathogenesis, Stress and Small RNAs’ (MAPS 2020) is a bi-annual meeting that traditionally brings together leading researchers studying different aspects of aging biology in a single model organism. MAPS 2020 will leverage this strength and (i) provide a platform for presentation of predominantly unpublished, cutting edge-discoveries in aging from established and new investigators, (ii) expand the horizons of the field and encourage out-of-the-box thinking by incorporation of new topics and a variety of innovative formats in each session, (iii) provide opportunities for postdoc and graduate-student trainees, especially women and under-represented minorities (URMs) to present their research, (iv) facilitate interaction, mentoring and networking for new faculty trainees and established faculty through the introduction of two initiatives. The 2020 meeting roster thus far includes confirmed Invited speaker presentations from 42 renowned scientists (15 women (38%), 5 international). Seven out of the confirmed 11 session chairs are rising-star women in aging research (64%). The 2020 Conference Schedule incorporates formats that encourage our stated emphasis of promoting new investigators and trainees. The majority (72%; 37/52) of the invitees have not spoken at this meeting in the last four years, and amongst them, more than a third (21/52) are invitees to this meeting for the first time. The meeting schedule is designed to increase cross-participation and visibility of new faculty, post-doctoral trainees and graduate-students. We include two innovative initiatives: a strategic Paired-Mentoring Initiatives of young faculty with senior scientists, and a Cutting-Edge Concepts in Geroscience Initiative to bring new concepts and out-of-the-box concepts to aging research. Through this application, we are requesting funds to support the attendance of the invited speakers as well as the investigators at various career stages, from graduate students and post-docs to newly-independent faculty, who will be participating in the meeting. We propose allocating 55% of the funds from this grant specifically to support attendance of female scientists and URMs. We plan to offer on-site child-care services, travel and lodging to the meeting attendees to facilitate participation of young scientists and those with family responsibilities, and to make the meeting fully accessible to individuals with disabilities.

项目摘要 常规生物医学研究针对单个与衰老相关疾病的病因。然而慢性疾病 在老年时，很少孤立地出现，因此，即使 对无病年的扩展的最小影响。可能带来更大回报的替代方案是 专注于他们的共同风险因素，增加年龄，了解年轻国家的损失如何导致 疾病风险增加。 2020'C.秀丽隐杆线虫的代谢，衰老，发病机理，压力和小RNA' （地图2020）是一次两年一次的会议，传统上汇集了研究不同的领先研究人员 单个模型生物体衰老生物学的各个方面。地图2020将利用这种力量，（i）提供 用于陈述陈旧的衰老中的主要未出版的尖端发现的平台 （ii）扩大了该领域的视野，并鼓励开箱即用的思考 在每个会话中合并新主题和各种创新格式，（iii）提供机会 用于博士后和研究生的学员，尤其是妇女和代表性不足的少数民族（URMS） 介绍他们的研究，（iv）促进新教师培训的互动，心理和网络 通过引入两个倡议来建立教师。 到目前为止，2020年的会议名册包括42个知名的确认发言人演讲 科学家（15名女性（38％），5个国际）。确认的11张椅子中有7个是新星妇女 在衰老研究中（64％）。 2020年会议时间表合并格式，鼓励我们说明 强调促进新的调查员和学员。大多数（72％; 37/52）被邀请人没有 在过去四年的这次会议上说，其中有超过三分之一（21/52）被邀请到 这次会议是第一次。会议时间表旨在提高跨参与和可见性 新教师，博士后学员和研究生。我们包括两个创新计划：一种策略 年轻教师的配对倡议与高级科学家，以及Geroscience的尖端概念 将新概念和现成的概念带入老化研究的倡议。 通过此申请，我们要求资金支持受邀发言人的出席 以及各个职业阶段的调查员 教职员工，将参加会议。我们建议从这笔赠款中分配55％的资金 特别是为了支持女科学家和URM的出席。我们计划提供现场托儿服务， 旅行并召集会议与会者，以促进年轻科学家和家人的参与 责任，并使会议完全可以被残疾人完全访问。
