DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference on Barrier Function of Mammalian Skin is a biannual event, scheduled for its eighth meeting from August 3-8, 2003, at Roger Williams College, Bristol, Rhode Island. This conference is mostly fully- to-over-subscribed, which makes it possible to accept an optimal mix of attendees from academics, industry and government. Junior and senior scientists are equally represented (about 50% females), and 40-50% of attendees are from overseas. As in prior meetings, a concerted attempt is being made to recruit speakers and attendees from around the world for the 2003 meeting, particularly from Eastern Europe, Asia, and the FSU (Former Soviet Union). The 2003 conference proposes a balance of topics, with individual sessions devoted to: skin disorders and barrier function, gene therapy of skin, drug delivery, mechanism of stratum corneum formation, desquamation and barrier function, stratum corneum lipid organization, vesicles mechanism of action, the skin as an immune organ, and new perspectives. In addition, four poster sessions are scheduled for the late afternoon, with up to 30 presentations each, which will complement the diverse themes of this meeting. Funds are requested to support a portion of the total expenses (conference fees and/or travel); the remainder will be supported by a $22,000 grant from GRC, with additional sums solicited from industry, primarily to support foreign travel and social activities. The 2003 GRC meeting on Barrier Function of Mammalian Skin will be an important interdisciplinary venue, where the latest information will be shared. It will hopefully lead to immediate, practical consequences for patients with skin and other disorders as well as to new insights into the origin and maintenance of mammalian barrier function.

描述（由申请人提供）： 哺乳动物皮肤屏障功能戈登研究会议每两年举办一次，第八次会议定于 2003 年 8 月 3 日至 8 日在罗得岛州布里斯托尔罗杰威廉姆斯学院举行。这次会议的注册人数大多达到满额或超额，这使得接受来自学术界、工业界和政府的与会者的最佳组合成为可能。初级和高级科学家的比例相等（约 50% 为女性），40-50% 的与会者来自海外。与之前的会议一样，2003 年会议正在努力招募来自世界各地的发言者和与会者，特别是来自东欧、亚洲和前苏联的发言者和与会者。 2003年会议提出了主题平衡，各个分会专门讨论：皮肤疾病和屏障功能、皮肤基因治疗、药物输送、角质层形成机制、脱屑和屏障功能、角质层脂质组织、囊泡作用机制、皮肤作为免疫器官以及新观点。此外，下午晚些时候还安排了四场海报会议，每场最多有 30 个演示，这将补充本次会议的多样化主题。需要资金来支持总费用的一部分（会议费和/或差旅费）；其余部分将由 GRC 提供的 22,000 美元赠款以及向业界募集的额外资金提供支持，主要用于支持国外旅行和社交活动。 2003 年关于哺乳动物皮肤屏障功能的 GRC 会议将成为一个重要的跨学科场所，届时将分享最新信息。它有望为患有皮肤病和其他疾病的患者带来直接、实际的结果，并为哺乳动物屏障功能的起源和维持提供新的见解。
