In this proposal we request partial support for the 16th , 17th and 18th Biennial Gordon Research Conferences on Mammary Gland Biology. The sixteenth conference will be held June 3-8, 2001 at Roger Williams University, Bristol, Rhode Island. The site and dates for the 17th and 18th conferences have not been set, but are expected to be in similar time period in 2003 and 2005, at one of the approved GRC sites. Roger Williams College is a new venue for this conference. It features excellent accommodations and a pleasant location that should prove productive for personal interactions. The Mammary Gland Biology conference has traditionally been highly successful, bringing together scientists from various disciplines who share a common interest in the Mammary gland. The 2001 program has been designed with the aim of satisfying this multidisciplinary audience. The Program includes: An overview in which recent progress in three broad areas, Endocrinology, Development, and Cancer, are summarized, new directions are pointed out, and unsolved problems or ambiguities are brought to attention. Not only will this provide an exciting introduction, but importantly, will also encourage audience participation at early stage in the conference. Subsequent sessions focus on Tissue interactions; IGF in development and cancer; Cell identity, Differentiation and function; Tumor progression and Metastasis; Genome stability/DNA repair; The lactation cycle; and Signal Transduction. One plenary speaker slot in each sessions will remain open for a time, permitting later selection of "hot" topics. The 2003 conference program is not yet set, but will continue the highly successful interdisciplinary tradition. Conference presentations and discussions will not be published, recorded, or cited. This policy encourages conferees to engage in informal discussions and multidisciplinary interactions. The large increase in mammary biomedical research brought about increased funding through the NIH and the U.S. Army sponsored program, has important implications to health scientists in any disciplines, so this interdisciplinary approach, so successful in the past, now has even greater potential. Conference funding is requested in support of those who invited speakers whose topics were related to those of the NIH, as well as to support the increasing participation of junior scientists, as well more experienced researchers, becoming interested in mammary gland biology and in the breast cancer problem.

在本提案中，我们请求为第 16 届、第 17 届和第 18 届双年度戈登乳腺生物学研究会议提供部分支持。 第十六次会议将于2001年6月3日至8日在罗得岛州布里斯托尔的罗杰威廉姆斯大学举行。 第 17 次和第 18 次会议的地点和日期尚未确定，但预计将在 2003 年和 2005 年的相似时期在经批准的 GRC 地点之一举行。罗杰威廉姆斯学院是本次会议的新举办地。 它拥有一流的住宿条件和宜人的地理位置，这对于个人互动来说应该是富有成效的。 乳腺生物学会议传统上非常成功，汇集了来自不同学科、对乳腺有共同兴趣的科学家。 2001 年的节目旨在满足多学科观众的需求。 该计划包括： 概述，总结内分泌学、发育学和癌症这三个广泛领域的最新进展，指出新方向，并提请注意未解决的问题或模糊之处。 这不仅将提供令人兴奋的介绍，而且重要的是，还将鼓励观众在会议的早期阶段参与。随后的会议重点关注组织相互作用； IGF 在发育和癌症中的作用；细胞身份、分化和功能；肿瘤进展和转移；基因组稳定性/DNA修复；哺乳周期；和信号转导。 每场会议的一名全体会议发言人将保留一段时间，以便稍后选择“热门”主题。 2003年的会议日程尚未确定，但将延续非常成功的跨学科传统。会议演讲和讨论不会被出版、记录或引用。 该政策鼓励与会者参与非正式讨论和多学科互动。 乳腺生物医学研究的大幅增长带来了美国国立卫生研究院和美国陆军赞助项目的资金增加，对任何学科的健康科学家都具有重要影响，因此这种过去如此成功的跨学科方法现在具有更大的潜力。 会议经费要求用于支持那些邀请主题与 NIH 相关的演讲者，以及支持初级科学家以及更有经验的研究人员越来越多地参与，对乳腺生物学和乳腺癌产生兴趣问题。
