DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request partial support for the 17th Chronobiology Gordon Research Conference, to be held in Barga, Italy from June 12 - 17 in 2011. The conference will focus on topics that represent key research areas in chronobiology, which include molecular biology, genetics, behavior (including sleep), neurobiology, metabolism, cancer and (healthy) aging. The subtheme of the conference will thus be 'Integration: from molecule to organism'. All of the speakers and discussion leaders are recognized leaders in their fields and were chosen in consultation with scientists who represent the breadth of the field of chronobiology. Special attention has been given to cultural diversity and the tentative program reflects this in terms of gender balance. We have been successful in building an extremely high-quality program that features over 40% female speakers and discussion leaders. We aim to improve diversity further through registrations; preference will be given to members of under-represented groups. Training aspects have traditionally been formally incorporated into the program in the form of Hot Topic talks, which are reserved for students and post doctoral fellows. The specific objectives of the conference are: 1) to provide a forum for discussion of the latest (unpublished) chronobiology research. 2) to bring together scientists working primarily with molecular aspects of chronobiology with those who focus on higher levels of organization, as well as selected representatives of industry, to integrate across all levels - from fundamental to applied research. 3) to identify priority research themes for the coming years (e.g. aging, metabolism, pathologies) by identifying gaps in knowledge and improving conceptual models. 4) to continue - as chronobiology tradition dictates - to provide a high quality and accessible arena for interaction between trainees and senior researchers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Chronobiology GRC 2011 Project narrative: The clock regulates a myriad of processes in organisms from all phyla. Recent discoveries showing robust circadian rhythms in virtually all cells emphasize the pervasive impact of the circadian clock on physiology and behavior. Accordingly, epidemiological and genetic studies on humans show that a disrupted circadian clock - whether due to genetic predisposition or to socially influenced behavior - leads to pathologies that are associated with aging in our society: sleep disorders, metabolic disease and obesity, and cancer, for example. This conference will bring together experts and trainees who are in a position to integrate and translate basic research into applied science and policy, renewing the focus of the chronobiology field to keep pace with the latest research results and the interests of society.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们要求为第17届年度生物学研究会议提供部分支持，该研究会议将于2011年6月12日至17日在意大利巴尔加举行。会议将重点介绍代表年代生物学的关键研究领域的主题，该主题包括分子生物学，遗传学，行为，遗传学（包括睡眠），神经生物学，神经生物学，核心，元素，癌症，癌症和敏捷。因此，会议的子主题将是“整合：从分子到有机体”。所有的演讲者和讨论领导者都是其领域的公认领导者，并与代表Chronobiology领域的科学家协商时被选中。特别注意文化多样性，暂定计划在性别平衡方面反映了这一点。我们已经成功地构建了一个极高的计划，该计划具有超过40％的女性演讲者和讨论负责人。我们旨在通过注册进一步改善多样性；优先考虑代表性不足的群体的成员。传统上，培训方面以热门话题的演讲形式正式合并到该计划中，这些培训方案是为学生和博士后研究员保留的。会议的具体目标是：1）提供一个论坛，讨论最新的（未发表）年代生物学研究。 2）将科学家主要与计时生物学的分子方面合作，与那些专注于更高水平的组织以及行业代表的人一起，以整合从基本到应用研究的各个层面。 3）通过识别知识和改善概念模型的差距，以确定未来几年的优先研究主题（例如衰老，代谢，病理学）。 4）继续 - 如《时间生物学传统》所指示的那样，为学员和高级研究人员之间的互动提供了高质量且可访问的舞台。 公共卫生相关性：Chronobiology GRC 2011项目叙事：时钟调节来自所有门的生物的无数过程。最近的发现显示了几乎所有细胞中强大的昼夜节律，都强调了昼夜节律对生理和行为的普遍影响。因此，对人类的流行病学和遗传研究表明，无论是由于遗传易感性还是受到社会影响的行为而受到破坏的昼夜节律 - 导致与我们社会衰老有关的病理学：睡眠障碍，代谢性疾病和肥胖症，以及癌症。这次会议将汇集有能力将基础研究整合到应用科学和政策的专家和学员，并更新Chronobiology领域的重点，以保持最新的研究结果和社会的利益。
