DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project is to conduct three symposia at the 26th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Gravitational and Space Biology, November 4-7, 2010. The meeting is the only one of its kind in the U.S.A. that provides a forum for the reporting and the discussion and publication of new research results in the areas of space and gravitational biology. The symposia are titled ""The spaceflight environment: accelerated skeletal aging and cancer?", "Photobiology of microbes, plants and animals", and "Signaling in calcium-dependent development of cell polarity". The symposia speakers were selected because their research touches on objectives stated by the nine National Institutes of Health in the joint NIH and NASA program announcement soliciting biomedical-related research for the International Space Station National Laboratory. Student travel stipends will be provided, with outreach awareness to include women and underrepresented minorities, to promote active participation in the research and educational activities of the meeting. Peer-reviewed scientific articles from the meeting will be published in the Gravitational and Space Biology journal. An outcome objective of the meeting is to demonstrate how gravitational and space biology research provides unique approaches to elucidating biological mechanisms, and this knowledge may contribute to improving the health of humans on Earth.

描述(由申请者提供)：该项目将在2010年11月4日至7日举行的第26届美国引力和空间生物学学会年会上进行三次研讨会。这次会议是美国唯一一次为报告、讨论和发表空间和引力生物学领域的新研究成果提供论坛的此类会议。研讨会的标题分别是“航天环境：骨骼老化加速与癌症？”，“微生物、植物和动物的光生物学”，以及“细胞极性钙依赖发展的信号”。之所以选择研讨会演讲者，是因为他们的研究触及了美国国家卫生研究院和美国国家航空航天局在为国际空间站国家实验室征集生物医学相关研究的联合计划公告中提出的目标。将提供学生旅费津贴，并提高对妇女和任职人数不足的少数群体的宣传意识，以促进积极参与会议的研究和教育活动。来自会议的同行评议的科学文章将发表在《引力与空间生物学》杂志上。会议的一个成果目标是展示引力和空间生物学研究如何提供独特的方法来阐明生物机制，这一知识可能有助于改善地球上人类的健康。
