DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a conference grant application requesting support for the second Gordon Research Conference on Signal Transduction By Engineered Extracellular Matrices. This meeting will be held June 23-28, 2002, at Connecticut College in New London, CT. The Chairs will be Drs. Donald Bottaro and Shu Chien and the Vice-Chair will be Dr. David Mooney. The conference will focus on the converging roles of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and soluble factors for the repair or replacement of tissue lost or damaged due to disease or injury. Emphasis will be on the discussion of state of the art, unpublished research in signal transduction, the mechanisms by which growth factors and the ECM regulate cell fate, and their application to tissue engineering. The program will include oral sessions (each with three to four speakers and a discussion leader), as well as poster sessions (most participants will be expected to present a poster). Two roundtable discussions have been designed to facilitate close interaction between researchers working in the fields of cytokine signal transduction, ECM, and tissue engineering, and a workshop on career and funding opportunities in these areas is also planned. The meeting will be small by conventional standards (approximately 130 participants), but participants will be selected to insure attendance by a diverse group of junior and senior investigators representing academic and government institutions, as well as small and large biotechnology companies. Students and postdoctoral fellows will be encouraged to attend, and at least one speaker in each session will be a junior investigator. In this way the meeting will provide a platform for the development of long term interdisciplinary interactions, and expose students and young professionals to the latest ideas and opportunities at the confluence of signal transduction, molecular and cellular biology and tissue engineering. A special effort will be made to use the financial support requested to facilitate the attendance and participation of women and minorities in this meeting.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份会议拨款申请 请求支持第二届戈登信号研究会议 通过工程细胞外基质进行转导。本次会议将召开 2002 年 6 月 23 日至 28 日，康涅狄格州新伦敦康涅狄格学院。主席将是 博士。 Donald Bottaro 和 Shu Chien 以及 David Mooney 博士担任副主席。 会议将重点讨论细胞外基质的聚合作用 (ECM) 和可溶性因子，用于修复或替换丢失的组织或 因疾病或受伤而损坏。重点将放在国家的讨论上 本领域未发表的信号转导研究，其机制 哪些生长因子和 ECM 调节细胞命运及其应用 组织工程。该计划将包括口头会议（每个会议有三到 四位演讲者和一名讨论主持人），以及海报会议（大多数 预计参与者将展示一张海报）。两场圆桌讨论 旨在促进研究人员之间的密切互动 在细胞因子信号转导、ECM和组织工程领域， 还计划举办一次关于这些领域的职业和资助机会的研讨会。 按照传统标准，会议规模较小（约 130 人） 参与者），但将选择参与者以确保出席 由代表学术界和学术界的初级和高级研究人员组成的不同群体 政府机构以及小型和大型生物技术公司。 将鼓励学生和博士后研究员参加，并且至少 每场会议的一名发言者将是初级研究员。这样一来 会议将为双方长期发展提供平台 跨学科互动，让学生和年轻专业人士接触 信号转导融合的最新想法和机遇， 分子和细胞生物学以及组织工程。将作出特别努力 使用所请求的财政支持来促进出席和 妇女和少数族裔参加本次会议。
