Biannual Meeting of the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms

描述（由申请人提供）：我们请求部分支持2014年生物节律研究学会会议，将于2014年6月14日至18日在大天空MT的大天空度假村举行。本次会议吸引了600多名与会者，将重点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，代谢，癌症，衰老，免疫学，行为，睡眠，数学建模和应用研究。会议的主题是“生物钟与科学和社会的相关性”，反映了生物钟对生理和疾病的各个方面的影响程度。会议将包括18个特邀演讲者的专题讨论会和12个幻灯片会议（从提交的摘要中选出），这些会议将联合收割机最好的基础时钟研究与将这些信息转化为人类应用的研究相结合。研讨会发言人和会议主席是各自领域公认的领导者，并被选为代表我们的广度和实现我们的目标，桥接基础和应用生物钟研究。对文化和地域多样性以及性别平衡给予了特别关注。我们的目标是通过在少数民族机构的会议广告进一步提高这种多样性，并与美国国立卫生研究院的资金，提供旅行奖励的研究生，博士后研究员，和代表性不足的群体。为了进一步鼓励参与，在选择幻灯片会议的演讲者时，这些团体将获得优先地位。所有会议摘要都将在SRBR网站上向公众提供。会议的培训方面得到了充分的发展，包括为学生和博士后举办的为期一天的培训日，以及在主要会议之前举办的初级教师研讨会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request partial support for the 2014 Society for Research on Biological Rhythms Conference, to be held at the Big Sky Resort in Big Sky MT, from June 14-18, 2014. This meeting, which attracts over 600 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, immunology, behavior, sleep, mathematical modeling, and applied research. The theme of meeting is "the relevance of biological clocks to science and society", which reflects the extent to which circadian clocks affect essentially all aspects of physiology and disease. The meeting will feature 18 symposia of invited speakers, and 12 slide sessions (selected from submitted abstracts) that combine the best of basic clock research with those that translate 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. Special attention has been given to cultural and geographical diversity, as well as gender balance. We aim to improve this diversity further through advertisement of the meeting at minority institutions, and with NIH funding, to provide offers of travel awards to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and under-represented groups. To further encourage participation, these groups will be given priority status when selecting presenters for the slide sessions. All meeting abstracts will be made available to the public on the SRBR web site. Training aspects of the meeting are fully developed, and include a highly subscribed one- day training day for students and postdocs, and junior faculty workshops, which precede the main meeting.
