2022 Musculoskeletal Biology & Bioengineering Gordon Research Conference & Gordon Research Seminar

摘要 自1980年以来，每两年举行一次的戈登研究会议(GRC)肌肉骨骼生物学和 生物工程已经成为介绍和讨论新的和未发表的 现场信息。由于有充分的讨论和互动机会，本次会议 总是带来新的合作、倡议和研究方向。一个重要的职业发展事件， 该GRC的计划旨在招募和支持不同的新调查人员在 肌肉骨骼领域。会后评估始终将会议评为“杰出”。基金是 请求为即将举行的2022年肌肉骨骼生物学和生物工程全球研究中心提供部分支持 同样是在NH安多弗的普罗科特学院，这是一个平静、风景优美和与世隔绝的网站，促进了最大限度的互动 在参与者中。2022年GRC的主题是“加速肌肉骨骼的发现” 系统。“选择这个主题是为了展示将加快我们在以下方面进展的想法和新兴技术 了解肌肉骨骼系统在发育、动态平衡和跨 人类衰老和疾病的广泛范围。我们的目标是不仅要突出最好和最令人兴奋的 在我们的领域工作，但也吸收我们领域以外的最好的想法，以刺激新的想法和合作 为所有出席者。为此，我们将在肌肉骨骼研究中招募新的和多样化的人才，通过提供 为所有调查人员创造包容和公平的环境。 会议将由9个会议组成(所有全体会议，邀请发言者参加)和两个为期两天的海报 会话。下午将免费进行互动娱乐和讨论，总出席人数为 上限为180，以鼓励互动。在GRC之前，将举行为期两天的戈登研究研讨会 (GRS)在同一地点，其主题为“新兴技术塑造肌肉骨骼研究” 是对GRC计划的补充。预计将有50人参加GRS，其中大多数人也将参加 GRC。GRS联合主席与GRC主席和副主席密切合作，制定 科学计划，其中包括一个指导部分，重点是新员工有效的职业过渡 调查人员。除了主旨会议和由知名调查人员组成的职业小组外，GRS还具有 在2个口头会议和2个海报会议中对新的研究人员参与者进行研究。以及更大的GRC 作为一个组织，本次会议的领导人设计了GRC和GRS，以提高多样性、公平性和 包括我们的领域。这两次会议都以杰出的科学家为特色，其中包括许多代表不足的科学家。 组。GRC Power Hour将解决女性在科学领域面临的挑战，以及与 种族、性取向、性别认同和残疾。因此，该组织的科学和专业活动 会议为社区做好准备，以解决肌肉骨骼疾病的巨大未得到满足的负担，特别是在 老龄化及其对妇女和少数群体的不成比例的影响。

ABSTRACT Since 1980, the biennial Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Musculoskeletal Biology and Bioengineering has been the leading forum for the presentation and discussion of new and unpublished information in the field. Because of the ample opportunity for discussion and interaction, this meeting has invariably led to new collaborations, initiatives and research directions. An important career development event, programming at this GRC is designed to recruit and support the success of diverse new investigators in the musculoskeletal field. Post-conference evaluations consistently rate the conference as “outstanding”. Funds are requested for partial support of the 2022 Musculoskeletal Biology and Bioengineering GRC, which is to be held again at Proctor Academy in Andover, NH, a calm, scenic, and isolated site that fosters maximum interactions among the participants. The theme for the 2022 GRC is “Accelerating Discovery in the Musculoskeletal System.” This theme was chosen to feature ideas and emerging technologies that will speed our progress in understanding the integrated function of the musculoskeletal system in development, at homeostasis, and across the wide range of human aging and disease. Our goal is to not only to highlight the very best and most exciting work in our field, but also to incorporate the best ideas from beyond our field, to spur new ideas and collaborations for all attendees. To this end, we will engage new and diverse talent in musculoskeletal research by providing an inclusive and equitable environment for all investigators. The meeting will consist of 9 sessions (all plenary and involving invited speakers) and two 2-day poster sessions. Afternoons will be free for interactive recreation and discussion and the total number of attendees is capped at 180 to encourage interaction. The GRC will be preceded by a two-day Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) at the same location, whose theme “Emerging Technologies Shaping Musculoskeletal Research” complements the GRC program. GRS attendance is expected to be 50 individuals, most of whom will also attend the GRC. The GRS co-Chairs have worked closely with the Chair and Vice-Chair of the GRC to develop the scientific program, which includes a mentoring component focused on effective career transitions for new investigators. Other than a keynote session and a career panel of established investigators, the GRS features research of new investigator attendees in 2 oral sessions and 2 poster sessions. Along with the larger GRC organization, the leaders of this meeting have designed both the GRC and GRS to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion of our field. Both meetings feature outstanding scientists, including many from underrepresented groups. The GRC Power Hour will address challenges women face in science, as well as intersectionality with race, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability. Thus, the scientific and professional activities of this meeting prepare this community to address the large unmet burden of musculoskeletal disease, especially in aging, and its disproportionate impacts on women and minoritized groups.
