The Society for Research on Biological Rhythms Conference: The Implications of Biological Rhythms for Health and Society

项目总结 我们请求为2018年生物节律研究学会大会提供部分支持 2018年5月12日至16日，佛罗里达州奥姆尼·阿米莉亚岛种植园度假村。这次会议，吸引了周围的人 700名与会者将集中讨论代表时间生物学关键研究领域的广泛主题，包括 分子生物学、遗传学、细胞生物学、神经生物学、生理学、新陈代谢、癌症、衰老、传染病 疾病、免疫学、行为学、睡眠、数学建模、环境变化和应用研究。 会议的主题是“生物节律对健康和社会的影响”。这个主题 反映生物节律性影响生活方方面面的程度；因此，它对所有人都有影响 在生物学和卫生领域，并对医学的各个领域产生影响和承诺， 产业、政策制定和治理。会议将有19个受邀演讲者座谈会和16个 简短的演讲，将最好的基础时钟研究与翻译这一点的研究结合在一起 将信息转化为人类应用程序。研讨会演讲者和会议主席是公认的 他们的领域，并被选择来代表我们的广度，并实现我们的目标，桥接基础和应用 生物钟研究。人们正在做出巨大努力，从其他领域招募科学家，这一点并不常见 参加SRBR。特别注意文化和地理多样性以及性别问题。 平衡。我们的目标是通过有针对性的广告吸引来自不同背景的科学家，并与NIH合作 支持，向受训人员提供旅行研究金，优先考虑来自代表性不足群体的人员。各种新产品 传播倡议将确保更广泛地传播知识。会议的培训方面 都是完全开发的，并包括订阅量很高的免费、为期一天的实习生职业发展日， 初级教师研讨会，以及一个新的指导计划。

PROJECT SUMMARY We request partial support for the 2018 Society for Research on Biological Rhythms Conference, to be held at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort, in Florida, on May 12-16, 2018. This meeting, which attracts around 700 attendees, will focus on the breadth of topics that represent key research areas in chronobiology, including molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, neurobiology, physiology, metabolism, cancer, aging, infectious disease, immunology, behavior, sleep, mathematical modeling, environmental change and applied research. The theme of the meeting will be “The Implications of Biological Rhythms for Health and Society”. This theme reflects the extent to which biological rhythmicity affects all aspects of life; as such, it has implications for all areas of biology and health, and has consequences and bears promises for various areas of medicine, industry, policy-making and governance. The meeting will feature 19 symposia of invited speakers, and 16 sessions of short talks, that combine the best of basic clock research with research that translates this information into human applications. The symposium speakers and session chairs are recognized leaders in their fields, and were chosen to represent our breadth and realize our goal of bridging basic and applied circadian clock research. Large efforts are being made to recruit scientists from other fields, not usually attending SRBR. Special attention has been given to cultural and geographical diversity, as well as gender balance. We aim to attract scientists from diverse backgrounds through targeted advertisement, and, with NIH support, to offer of travel fellowships to trainees, prioritizing those from under-represented groups. Various new communication initiatives will ensure a broader dissemination of knowledge. Training aspects of the meeting are fully developed, and include a highly subscribed, free, one-day Trainee Professional Development Day, Junior Faculty Workshops, and a new mentoring program.
