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 Conference presentations and discussions will not be published, recorded, or cited.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.

在这项建议中，我们要求对第16、17和18号双年展的戈登研究会议进行部分支持。 第十六届会议将于2001年6月3日至8日在罗德岛布里斯托尔的罗杰·威廉姆斯大学举行。 尚未设置第17和18号会议的地点和日期，但预计在2003年和2005年的同期GRC站点之一将处于相似的时间段。罗杰·威廉姆斯学院是这次会议的新场地。 它具有出色的住宿和宜人的位置，可以证明可以为个人互动而产生富有成效的效果。 传统上，乳腺生物学会议非常成功，将来自各个学科的科学家聚集在一起，他们在乳腺上具有共同的兴趣。 2001年的计划的设计目的是满足这一多学科受众。 该计划包括：概述，其中总结了内分泌学，发育和癌症的三个广泛领域的最新进展，指出了新的方向，并注意未解决的问题或歧义。 这不仅会提供令人兴奋的介绍，而且重要的是，还将鼓励听众在会议初期的参与。随后的课程集中于组织相互作用。 IGF发育和癌症；细胞身份，分化和功能；肿瘤进展和转移；基因组稳定/DNA修复；哺乳周期；和信号转导。 每次会议中的一个全体扬声器插槽将保持一段时间，允许以后选择“热”主题。 2003年的会议计划尚未设定，但将延续非常成功的跨学科传统。会议演讲和讨论将不会发表，记录或引用。 该政策鼓励陪伴参与非正式的讨论和多学科互动。 NIH和美国陆军赞助计划的乳房生物医学研究的巨大增长使资金增加，对任何学科的健康科学家都具有重要意义，因此这种跨学科的方法在过去的成功，现在具有更大的潜力。 要求会议资金支持邀请那些主题与NIH有关的演讲者，并支持初级科学家的日益参与以及经验丰富的研究人员的参与，并对乳腺生物学和乳腺癌问题感兴趣。
