2013 Chronobiology GRC/GRS

描述（由申请人提供）：我们请求对将在罗德岛纽波特举行的第18届时间生物学戈登研究会议提供部分支持。2013年7月14日至19日。从国家卫生研究院收到的资金将用于支持注册费和/或与会者的旅费，特别是博士后研究员和研究生。会议将集中讨论时间生物学的关键研究领域，包括分子遗传学、睡眠、神经科学、代谢和相关疾病、癌症、心血管疾病和衰老。会议的副主题将是“从分子到人”，这反映了昼夜节律影响几乎所有生理和疾病特征的程度。会议主席是该领域的领导者，在招聘发言人方面发挥了重要作用。对多样性给予了特别关注，目前的方案反映了这种平衡，例如性别和青年。为此，几个椅子已经同意共享一个时间段，为更多的年轻发言者腾出空间，我们要求的预算的一部分将用于支持学生和博士后与会者的新会前计划（戈登研究研讨会（GRS）。简而言之，我们将专注于年轻人和训练，以补充球场上的明星。最后，我们将致力于通过注册进一步提高多样性;将优先考虑代表性不足的群体的成员。会议的具体目标是：1。将主要研究时间生物学分子方面的科学家与专注于人类疾病的科学家聚集在一起。我们期待来自行业的代表参加，这将有助于整合从基础到应用的所有级别的调查。2.提供一个讨论最新（未发表）时间生物学研究的论坛。更具体地说，本次会议旨在关注我们知识的差距和争议领域。为此，每届会议都有两个著名的主席，他们的任务是在开幕演讲中介绍甚至辩论有趣和未解决的问题。这一战略应改进概念模型，并有助于确定未来研究主题的优先次序。3.继续-在时间生物学的传统-为学员和高级研究人员之间的互动提供高质量的竞技场。而部分椅子将在该领域的领导者，年轻人（学生，博士后和非终身教职）将有机会介绍他们的工作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request partial support for the 18th Chronobiology Gordon Research Conference, to be held in Newport, R.I. from July 14-19, 2013. Funds received from the NIH will be used to support registration fees and/or travel costs for participants, especially post-doctoral fellows and graduate students. The conference will focus on key research areas in chronobiology, which include molecular genetics, sleep, neuroscience, metabolism and related diseases, cancer, cardiovascular disease and aging. The subtheme of the conference will be, "from molecule to man," which reflects the extent to which circadian rhythms affect virtually all features of physiology and disease. The session chairs are leaders in the field and have played a major role in recruiting the speakers. Special attention has been given to diversity, and the current program reflects this balance, for example gender and youth. To this end, several chairs have agreed to share a time slot to make room for additional younger speakers, and a portion of our requested budget will be to support a new pre-conference program for student and post-doc attendees (Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). In short, we will focus on youth and training to complement the stars of the field. Lastly, we will aim to improve diversity further through registrations; preference will be given to members of under- represented groups. The specific objectives of the conference are: 1. To bring together scientists working primarily on molecular aspects of chronobiology with those who focus on human disease. We expect representatives from industry to attend, which will help integrate across all levels of investigation, from fundamental to applied. 2. To provide a forum for discussion of the latest (unpublished) chronobiology research. More specifically, this conference has been designed to focus on gaps in our knowledge and areas of controversy. To this end, each session has two prestigious chairs, who are tasked with featuring and even debating interesting and unresolved issues in their opening presentations. This strategy should improve conceptual models and help to prioritize future research themes. 3. To continue - in the tradition of Chronobiology - to provide a high quality arena for interactions between trainees and senior researchers. Whereas section chairs will be leaders in the field, younger people (students, post-docs and untenured faculties) will have opportunities to present their work.
