 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Proper integration of the cornea, limbus, conjunctiva, lacrimal and meibomian glands is essential for the anterior ocular surface to fulfill its role in protection and the maintenance of transparency necessary for proper vision. Consequently, the field of corneal biology plays a major role in the well-being of developed as well as underdeveloped nations. The comprehensive aim of this proposal is to seek funds in order to help bring together many of the leading scientists in vision research and related fields at the 2016 Gordon Research Conference on Corneal Biology and Pathobiology (GRC-CBP), February 28-March 4, at the Ventura Beach Marriott, California. For this next GRC-CBP, we have planned nine scientific sessions addressing several emerging topics in corneal biology, as well as persistent problems associated with ocular surface disease. These sessions will be comprised of 20 minute main talks and one-two short talks derived from the poster sessions. The short talks will afford young investigators a chance to present their research. The titles for the sessions are: 1. Setting Our Sights: Future of Ocular Surface and Tear Film Research; 2. Establishment of Tissue Boundaries - Implications for the Cornea and Conjunctiva; 3. Maintenance of Corneal Homeostasis; 4. Mechanism of Tear Formation by the Lacrimal Gland, Meibomian Glands and Conjunctiva; 5. Tear Film Dysregulation and Pain: Etiology and Treatments; 6. Diseases of the Ocular Surfaces (Cornea and Conjunctiva); 7. Mechanisms of Corneal Repair; 8. Ocular Surface Responses to Infection and Inflammation; and; 9. What We Can Learn from Common Diseases of Skin, Salivary Gland and Other Tissues. We have a diverse group of 27 speakers who will emphasize unpublished results. These speakers include 16 junior investigators and 8 outside the vision community. We have requested that our speakers stay for the entire meeting, in order to encourage lively discussion throughout the conference. By bringing together investigators at the forefront of ocular surface biology and outside of the ocular community, this will provide unique opportunities for cross-fertilization among young investigators with leaders in several fields. In addition, for the second time, we will conduct a two day Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) immediately prior to the main meeting. The GRS is designed specifically for graduate student and postdoctoral fellows working in the various disciplines that encompass corneal biology to meet in a setting that is not intimidating. The initial GRS held in 2014, was successful in facilitating the integration and participation of early career scientists in the GRC-CBP that followed. We believe that the next GRS-CBP will be a means for young scientists, who are likely to become the leaders in the field, to meet and interact with each other. We anticipate that relationships forged at both the GRS-CBP and GRC-CBP will last for many years. We also aim to encourage participation by underrepresented minorities at both the GRC and GRS, through scholarships offered by existing GRC programs. NEI support will greatly insure the quality of the program and the ultimate success of the GRC-CBP.

 描述（由申请人提供）：角膜、利姆布斯、结膜、泪腺和睑板腺的适当整合对于前眼表面发挥其保护作用和维持正常视力所需的透明度至关重要。因此，角膜生物学领域在发达国家和不发达国家的福祉中发挥着重要作用。该提案的综合目标是寻求资金，以帮助汇集视觉研究和相关领域的许多领先科学家，参加2月28日至3月4日在加州文图拉海滩万豪酒店举行的2016年戈登角膜生物学和病理学研究会议（GRC-CBP）。对于下一个GRC-CBP，我们计划了九个科学会议，解决角膜生物学中的几个新兴主题，以及与眼表疾病相关的持续问题。这些会议将包括20分钟的主要会谈和一两个简短的会谈来自海报会议。简短的谈话将为年轻的研究人员提供一个展示他们研究成果的机会。会议的题目是：1.设置我们的视线：眼表和泪膜研究的未来; 2。组织边界的建立-对角膜和结膜的影响; 3.维持角膜稳态; 4.泪腺、睑板腺和结膜的泪液形成机制; 5.泪膜失调与疼痛：病因与治疗; 6.眼表疾病（角膜和结膜）; 7.角膜修复机制; 8.眼表对感染和炎症的反应;和; 9.我们可以从皮肤，唾液腺和其他组织的常见疾病中学到什么。我们有一个由27位发言者组成的多元化小组，他们将强调未发表的结果。这些演讲者包括16名初级调查员和8名视觉社区以外的人。我们已要求发言者在整个会议期间留下来，以鼓励整个会议期间的热烈讨论。通过汇集眼表生物学前沿和眼界以外的研究人员，这将为年轻研究人员与多个领域的领导者之间的交流提供独特的机会。此外，第二次，我们将 在主要会议之前，立即举办为期两天的戈登研究研讨会（GRS）。GRS是专为研究生和博士后研究员工作的各个学科，包括角膜生物学，以满足在一个设置，是不是恐吓。2014年举行的首次GRS成功地促进了早期职业科学家在随后的GRC-CBP中的整合和参与。我们相信，下一届GRS-CBP将成为年轻科学家的一种手段，他们可能成为该领域的领导者，彼此见面和互动。我们预计，在GRS-CBP和GRC-CBP建立的关系将持续多年。我们还旨在通过现有GRC计划提供的奖学金，鼓励代表性不足的少数民族参与GRC和GRS。NEI的支持将极大地确保该计划的质量和GRC-CBP的最终成功。
