 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Aquatic animal models have played important roles in advancing our understanding of the origins of human disease and contributed to the study of drug targets and tests associated with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease. The most-widely known aquatic model is the zebrafish, but the community of investigators exploiting the unique and varied attributes of aquatic animals to address heretofore unapproachable questions related to human disease is growing. These unique aquatic models represent a wide-range of innovative studies, methods and technologies that improve the conceptual understanding of the complexity of human disease. The Aquatic Animal Models for Human Disease Conference is the primary conference that focuses broadly on multiple aquatic models used to investigate the full range of human disease. The University of Alabama at Birmingham will host the 8th conference in this series in December 2016, bringing together researchers from the U.S. and around the world to engage in a program designed by recognized leaders in the field to provide state-of-the-art information on advances in the use of aquatic animals in biomedical research. The dissemination of information, formal and informal engagement in discussion, and collaborative exchange of ideas will be achieved through a series of platform and poster sessions and workshops. New investigators, women, investigators with disabilities and under-represented minorities will be actively recruited to participate in this meeting through mechanisms such as travel awards. Representatives from funding institutes will be invited and encouraged to participate in all aspects of the meeting, especially the final session on priorities of human disease research and strategies for guiding extramural support. Proceedings from past meetings have been published in special issues of a scientific journal and we will continue that mechanism for dissemination as well as attempt to publish a book providing a comprehensive review of the state of aquatic animal models and their use in human disease research. One outcome of these gatherings and this meeting in particular, is to provide new investigators with ideas, background, and mentoring required to improve the quality of grant applications submitted to multiple NIH institutes. Relevance to Public Health: The focus of this conference is on the development and application of animal models to study human disease. Aquatic animals have many advantages and attributes that make them superior choices compared to mammalian models to investigate complex scientific questions. The main outcome of this meeting will be dissemination of this knowledge, training and mentoring of new investigators in this field and will result in the pursuit of novel and innovative approaches designed to provide results, information and knowledge for improving human health across a broad collection of diseases.

 描述（由适用提供）：水生动物模型在促进我们对人类疾病起源的理解方面发挥了重要作用，并有助于研究与诊断，预防和治疗疾病有关的药物靶标和测试。最广为人知的水生模型是斑马鱼，但是调查人员的社区利用了水生动物的独特和多样化属性来解决与人类疾病有关的迄今为止无法接受的问题。这些独特的水生模型代表了广泛的创新研究，方法和技术，以提高对人类疾病复杂性的概念理解。人类疾病的水生动物模型是主要会议，该会议广泛地集中在用于研究人类疾病的多种水生模型上。伯明翰阿拉巴马大学将于2016年12月举办第八届会议，将来自美国和世界各地的研究人员聚集在一起，参与该领域公认的领导者设计的计划，以提供有关生物医学研究中水生动物的最新信息。将通过一系列平台和海报会议和讲习班来实现信息传播信息，正式和非正式参与以及思想的协作交流。新的调查人员，妇女，残疾调查人员和代表性不足的少数民族将被积极招募，以通过旅行奖等机制参加这次会议。资金机构的代表将被邀请并鼓励参加会议的各个方面，尤其是关于优先事项的最后会议 人类疾病研究和指导壁外支持的策略。过去的会议的诉讼已在科学期刊的特殊问题上发表，我们将继续进行传播机制，并试图出版一本书，以提供对水生动物模型状况及其在人类疾病研究中的使用的全面回顾。这些聚会，尤其是这次会议的结果之一是，为新的调查人员提供了提高提交给多个NIH机构的赠款申请质量所需的想法，背景和指导。与公共卫生的相关性：这次会议的重点是动物模型在研究人类疾病中的发展和应用。与哺乳动物模型相比，水生动物具有许多优势和属性，这些优势是研究复杂的科学问题。这次会议的主要结果将是传播该领域的新研究人员的知识，培训和指导，并将导致采用旨在提供新颖和创新的方法，旨在提供结果，信息和知识，以改善广泛疾病的人类健康。
