DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): I am requesting partial support for the operation of the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) Conference on Second Messengers and Protein Phosphorylation. This GRC is usually held at Kimball Union Academy in Meridin, New Hampshire, which provides a familiar venue to promote open interaction among participants. This GRC begins on Sunday night June 9, 2002 with a plenary speaker and concludes on Thursday evening June 13. The Conference focuses on protein kinase signal transduction mechanisms that regulate cellular growth, survival and metabolism. A full understanding of these signaling mechanisms is scientifically and clinically important because their failure plays a direct role in contemporary health problems that affect millions of people worldwide. The speakers are encouraged to integrate biochemical, structural, cell biological and genomic approaches into providing a comprehensive understanding of the molecular aspects of signaling mechanisms. The plenary speaker will be selected to set the stage for the conference and challenge the participants to think about signal transduction from a novel perspective. The conference will consist of 8 sessions, each with a discussion leader and at least four speakers, selected from investigators who have made important recent contributions; at least 20% of the speakers are women or members or minorities groups. Speakers in each session will develop the structure and function of important paradigms in signal transduction and relate these systems to disease mechanisms and potential treatment strategies. I will select 135 participants from applicants, including representatives from industry and academia, senior scientists, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. Participants are encouraged to present poster on new and interesting results each afternoon. Importantly, the conference provides a forum for young investigators to see the connection between fundamental scientific inquiry and the application of scientific methods to the design of efficacious interventions for human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, obesity, aging and neurodegeneration. To emphasize this goal, four poster presentations that complement the theme of the meeting will be selected for brief oral presentations during the major sessions.

描述（由申请人提供）：我要求部分支持戈登研究会议（GRC）第二章会议和蛋白质磷酸化会议的运作。该GRC通常在新罕布什尔州梅里丁的金博尔联合学院举行，该学院提供了一个熟悉的场地，以促进参与者之间的公开互动。该GRC于2002年6月9日（星期日）以全体发言人的身份开始，并于6月13日（星期四）结束。会议的重点是调节细胞生长，生存和代谢的蛋白激酶信号转导机制。对这些信号机制的全面了解在科学和临床上很重要，因为它们的失败在影响全球数百万人的当代健康问题中起着直接作用。鼓励说话者将生化，结构，细胞生物学和基因组方法整合到对信号机制的分子方面的全面理解中。全体演讲者将被选为为会议奠定舞台，并挑战参与者从新颖的角度考虑信号转导。会议将包括8个会议，每个会议都有一个讨论负责人和至少4位发言人，这些调查员是从最新贡献的调查人员中选出的；至少有20％的演讲者是妇女，成员或少数群体。每个会议中的说话者将发展重要范式在信号转导中的结构和功能，并将这些系统与疾病机制和潜在的治疗策略联系起来。我将从申请人中挑选135名参与者，包括来自行业和学术界的代表，高级科学家，博士后研究员和研究生。鼓励参与者每天下午介绍新的有趣结果的海报。重要的是，该会议为年轻的研究人员提供了一个论坛，以了解基本科学探究与科学方法在设计人类疾病有效干预措施时的应用之间的联系，包括癌症，糖尿病，肥胖，衰老，衰老和神经退行性。为了强调这一目标，将在主要会议期间选择四个补充会议主题的海报演示文稿。
