DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Advances in Mineral Metabolism (AIMM) is an annual meeting which combines presentations on basic and clinical bone biology in a format that provides extensive opportunity for open discussion. The AIMM meeting has been embraced by a broad spectrum of bone biologists and clinicians who have gathered annually for 23 consecutive years to participate in the high quality discussions of bone and mineral metabolism which embody the spirit of AIMM. One of the major goals of the AIMM meeting is to provide opportunities for young scientists to interact closely with more established researchers in a non-intimidating, intimate, and interactive venue that fosters creative scientific exchange. This is accomplished through a number of mechanisms: first, the AIMM/ASBMR John Haddad young investigator awards are presented at the AIMM meeting and awardees discuss their work within the planned scientific sessions; second, the program includes an open basic science session and an open clinical science session in which young investigators are encouraged to present recent findings; third, each session includes a lengthy question-answer period where participation of young investigators is prominent; fourth, the recently introduced meet-the-professor sessions provide unique opportunities for small-group interaction that particularly benefit scientists-in-training and young faculty. Finally, the format of the meeting where attendees are together most of the time and that includes a long midday break for informal discussions has been shown to be a successful way to increase interaction. The 2009 AIMM meeting will include sessions on osteoimmunology; the estrogen receptor as a signaling molecule in bone; non-classical actions of vitamin D; fracture healing; central control of bone remodeling; pediatric bone diseases; and new therapies for bone disease. The purpose of this proposal is to request funds to help defray the costs of the meeting and support registration and travel costs for young investigators and junior faculty (other than Haddad awardees) that attend the meeting. For the first time in its history, AIMM has signed a three-year contract for the rental of the Snowmass Conference Center, insuring that the meeting will be held at that location for the next three years. Therefore, this proposal requests funds for the 2009, 2010, and 2011 AIMM annual meetings. These funds will aid immensely in allowing AIMM to fulfill its function to stimulate further creativity in bone and cartilage research and to provide young investigators with a tribune to promote their talent.

描述（由申请人提供）：矿物质代谢进展（AIMM）是一个年度会议，结合了基础和临床骨生物学的演讲，其形式为公开讨论提供了广泛的机会。 AIMM会议受到了广泛的骨生物学家和临床医生的欢迎，他们连续23年每年齐聚一堂，参与骨矿物质代谢的高质量讨论，体现了AIMM的精神。 AIMM 会议的主要目标之一是为年轻科学家提供与更成熟的研究人员在一个无威胁、亲密和互动的场所密切互动的机会，从而促进创造性的科学交流。这是通过多种机制实现的：首先，AIMM/ASBMR John Haddad 青年研究者奖在 AIMM 会议上颁发，获奖者在计划的科学会议中讨论他们的工作；其次，该计划包括开放的基础科学会议和开放的临床科学会议，鼓励年轻研究人员介绍最新的发现；第三，每次会议都有一个较长的问答时间，年轻研究者的参与程度很高；第四，最近推出的教授见面会为小组互动提供了独特的机会，这对受训科学家和年轻教师尤其有利。最后，与会者大部分时间都在一起的会议形式，包括长时间的中午休息时间进行非正式讨论，已被证明是增加互动的成功方式。 2009 AIMM 会议将包括骨免疫学会议；雌激素受体作为骨骼中的信号分子；维生素 D 的非经典作用；骨折愈合；骨重塑的中枢控制；小儿骨科疾病；以及骨病的新疗法。该提案的目的是请求资金来帮助支付会议费用，并支持参加会议的年轻研究人员和初级教员（哈达德获奖者除外）的注册和旅行费用。 AIMM 历史上首次签署了一份为期三年的斯诺马斯会议中心租赁合同，确保未来三年会议将在该地点举行。因此，本提案要求为 2009 年、2010 年和 2011 年 AIMM 年会提供资金。这些资金将极大地帮助 AIMM 履行其职能，激发骨骼和软骨研究的进一步创造力，并为年轻研究人员提供发挥才能的平台。
