Joan Geoghegan博士和Barbara Kahl博士将担任2023年联合主席 会议，然后将在2025年主持下一次会议。Arya Gupta博士和Stephen Tufts博士将担任联合... 2023年GRS的主席。GRC及其相关GRS的总体目标是将世界领先的 科学家和最有前途的年轻研究人员和学员一起在一个学院和支持 环境具体目标是：1）提供一个论坛，介绍未发表的，前沿的 研究葡萄球菌，并促进正式和非正式的讨论，这些结果如何推动 领域，2）包括研究人员和临床医生，重点是不同的葡萄球菌物种，并确定影响 这些物种在人类和动物中对葡萄球菌感染的影响，3）扩大了 科学家在这一领域的工作，4）确保年轻的研究人员的发展和融入， 更广泛的研究社区以有意义的和互动的方式。学院的氛围将包括 在下午和晚上组织讨论会和非正式聚会， 为来自不同学科的科学家提供一个理想的环境，以交流思想和促进跨学科 他们自己和下一代葡萄球菌研究者之间的合作。因此，GRC 将提供一个独特的和根本重要的机会，汇集世界领先的 葡萄球菌研究者在一个格式设计的研究结果和思想的自由交流，包括 葡萄球菌生物学的各个方面及其与疾病的关系。与GRS一起，GRC将 促进有前途的年轻调查员在外地的发展，并使他们融入更大的 研究社区。从短期来看，这将大大提高各地调查人员的能力， 世界解决葡萄球菌疾病的关键问题，而从长远来看，它将确保持续的 他们的努力和下一代调查人员的努力取得了成功。

Project Summary The purpose of this grant submission is to request funds to partially support the 2023 Staphylococcal Diseases Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and its associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). This will be the 17th GRC, with the first being held in 1989 and thereafter on a bi-annual basis. Importantly, it will be the 5th meeting of the GRS, the purpose of which is to foster development of the next generation of staphylococcal investigators and invite their active participation and integration into the broader research community. These meetings will be held July 29 – August 4th at Waterville Valley, NH. This will be the first meeting at this GRC site, and consistent with the approach of the Staphylococcal Diseases Gordon Research Conference, is alternating location with the US to encourage participation of a wide array of staphylococcal biologists from around the world. The Chairs for the 2023 meeting will be Drs. Alexander Horswill and Juliane Bubeck- Wardenburg who served as Co-Vice Chairs for the last GRC meeting in 2019 at the Rey Don Jaime Grand Hotel, Castelldefels, Spain. Drs. Joan Geoghegan and Barbara Kahl will serve as Co-Chairs for the 2023 meeting, then will Chair the following meeting in 2025. Drs. Arya Gupta and Stephen Tufts will serve as Co- Chairs of the 2023 GRS. The overall goal of the GRC and its associated GRS is to bring the world's leading scientists and the most promising young investigators and trainees together in a collegial and supportive environment. The specific goals are to: 1) provide a forum for the presentation of unpublished, cutting-edge research on the staphylococci and foster formal and informal discussions on how these results advance the field, 2) include investigators and clinicians focusing on diverse staphylococcal species and define the impact of these species on staphylococcal infection in both humans and animals, 3) expand the boundaries of the work of the scientists within this field, and 4) ensure development and integration of young investigators into the broader research community in a meaningful and interactive way. The collegial atmosphere will include organized discussion sessions and opportunities for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings, providing an ideal setting for scientists from different disciplines to exchange ideas and foster cross-disciplinary collaborations both among themselves and the next generation of staphylococcal investigators. Thus, the GRC will provide a unique and fundamentally important opportunity to bring together the world's leading staphylococcal investigators in a format designed for the free exchange of research results and ideas covering all aspects of staphylococcal biology and its relationship to disease. Together with the GRS, the GRC will promote the development of promising young investigators in the field and their integration into the larger research community. In the short term, this will significantly enhance the ability of investigators around the world to address critical problems in staphylococcal disease, while in the long term it will ensure the continued success of their efforts and those of the next generation of investigators.
