The Society for Research on Biological Rhythms Conference: The Implications of Biological Rhythms for Health and Society

项目摘要 我们请求对2018年生物节律研究学会会议的部分支持，该会议将在 Omni Amelia Island种植园度假村，位于佛罗里达，2018年5月12日至16日。这次会议吸引了 700名与会者，将集中在代表时间生物学关键研究领域的主题的广度，包括 分子生物学，遗传学，细胞生物学，神经生物学，生理学，新陈代谢，癌症，衰老，传染病 疾病，免疫学，行为，睡眠，数学建模，环境变化和应用研究。 会议的主题是“生物节律对健康和社会的影响”。这个主题 反映了生物节律影响生活各个方面的程度;因此，它对所有人都有影响。 生物学和健康领域，并对医学的各个领域产生影响和承诺， 工业、决策和治理。会议将举行19场特邀演讲者专题讨论会， 短期会谈的会议，这联合收割机结合最好的基础时钟研究与研究，翻译这一点， 信息到人类的应用。研讨会发言人和会议主席是公认的领导者， 他们的领域，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 生物钟研究目前正在努力从其他领域招募科学家， 参加SRBR。特别注意文化和地理多样性以及性别问题 平衡我们的目标是通过有针对性的广告吸引来自不同背景的科学家， 支持向受训人员提供旅行研究金，优先考虑来自代表性不足群体的受训人员。各种新 传播举措将确保更广泛地传播知识。会议的培训方面 已完全开发，并包括一个高度订阅，免费，为期一天的实习生专业发展日， 初级教师研讨会，和一个新的指导计划。

PROJECT SUMMARY We request partial support for the 2018 Society for Research on Biological Rhythms Conference, to be held at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort, in Florida, on May 12-16, 2018. This meeting, which attracts around 700 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, infectious disease, immunology, behavior, sleep, mathematical modeling, environmental change and applied research. The theme of the meeting will be “The Implications of Biological Rhythms for Health and Society”. This theme reflects the extent to which biological rhythmicity affects all aspects of life; as such, it has implications for all areas of biology and health, and has consequences and bears promises for various areas of medicine, industry, policy-making and governance. The meeting will feature 19 symposia of invited speakers, and 16 sessions of short talks, that combine the best of basic clock research with research that translates 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. Large efforts are being made to recruit scientists from other fields, not usually attending SRBR. Special attention has been given to cultural and geographical diversity, as well as gender balance. We aim to attract scientists from diverse backgrounds through targeted advertisement, and, with NIH support, to offer of travel fellowships to trainees, prioritizing those from under-represented groups. Various new communication initiatives will ensure a broader dissemination of knowledge. Training aspects of the meeting are fully developed, and include a highly subscribed, free, one-day Trainee Professional Development Day, Junior Faculty Workshops, and a new mentoring program.
