DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting partial support for the Biological Sciences component of the Year 2002 Annual Meeting of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA). The theme for this conference, selected by the incoming President, Dr. George M. Martin, is: "The Impact of Early Development upon Late Life Course." Nine invited symposia have been organized with the aim of bringing the latest research into the Biology of Aging to a diverse audience of research biologists, clinicians and interested health professionals. The topics of these symposia aim to stimulate exciting scientific interchange, provide synthesis and consolidation to emerging data on the genetics, biochemistry, and physiology of general patterns of aging. The principal part of this application is to request funding for these Symposia. Our main objective is to provide conferees with a stimulating and provocative set of presentations and critical dialogue on state-of-the-art current research in the basic biology of aging, as well as to introduce emerging strategies and technologies with prospects for significantly advancing the field. The revolutionary biotechnologies now beginning to be used will drastically change the manner in which we will conduct basic research into the biology of aging and these changes and their implications should be widely discussed and appreciated. Ongoing molecular investigations in diverse model systems have enhanced our understanding of the mechanisms and consequences of aging. These insights need to be shared and discussed. As a consequence of this better understanding, methods of intervening in the aging process are being continually refined, and these tools also need to be widely shared and discussed. The broad field of biogerontology is beginning to show some unifying conceptual themes, and if so, they will be discerned in the increased overlap and interconnectedness of previously discrepant research areas. The goal of this meeting, therefore, is to provide a forum for the dissemination of information, and more importantly to promote dialogue in research areas and methods which: (1) have not recently been covered at GSA meetings; and (2) offer the prospect of making significant advances in our understanding of the mechanisms that promote or retard aging.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们请求对美国老年学会 (GSA) 2002 年年会的生物科学部分提供部分支持。本次会议的主题由即将上任的主席乔治·M·马丁博士选定，是：“早期发展对晚年生命历程的影响”。组织了九场特邀研讨会，旨在将衰老生物学的最新研究成果介绍给研究生物学家、临床医生和感兴趣的卫生专业人员等不同受众。这些研讨会的主题旨在促进令人兴奋的科学交流，对有关衰老一般模式的遗传学、生物化学和生理学的新兴数据进行综合和整合。本申请的主要部分是为这些研讨会申请资金。 我们的主要目标是为与会者提供一系列关于衰老基础生物学最新研究的刺激性和挑衅性的演讲和批判性对话，并介绍有望显着推进该领域的新兴战略和技术。现在开始使用的革命性生物技术将极大地改变我们对衰老生物学进行基础研究的方式，这些变化及其影响应该得到广泛的讨论和认识。对不同模型系统正在进行的分子研究增强了我们对衰老机制和后果的理解。这些见解需要分享和讨论。由于有了更好的理解，干预衰老过程的方法正在不断完善，这些工具也需要广泛共享和讨论。生物老年学的广泛领域开始显示出一些统一的概念主题，如果是这样，它们将在以前不同的研究领域日益增加的重叠和相互联系中被识别出来。因此，本次会议的目的是提供一个信息传播的论坛，更重要的是促进以下研究领域和方法的对话：（1）最近在 GSA 会议上未涉及的； （2）为我们对促进或延缓衰老的机制的理解提供了重大进展的前景。
