DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant will partially support travel costs and conference registration fees for Speakers and Session Chairs who have been invited to participate in the Molecular Membrane Biology Gordon Conference to be held July 10-15 at Proctor Academy in Andover, NH. This meeting brings together scientists working on all aspects of membrane structure and function, including vesicular trafficking and organelle biogenesis and structure, lipid biology, membrane protein structure and function, and protein translocation. Hence, MMB has great value in the community in that it facilitates detailed discussion and scientific exchange between disciplines focused on understanding the complexity of membrane function. Proposed session topics include: Membrane Fusion; Diverse Translocation Machineries; Intracellular Sorting Mechanisms; Organizing Membrane Subdomains; Membrane Bending/Fission; Conformation Dynamics at the Membrane; Lipids and Compartment Identity; Organelle Biogenesis and Dynamics; and Transport Carrier Formation. We have invited a diverse group of speakers, many are early in their careers, 31% are female. We have left open as many as 18 slots for Speakers chosen from submitted abstracts, increasing our opportunities for hearing the most recent and exciting results and diversifying our speakers. We have invited several more senior leaders to serve as Session Chairs, and have set aside 15 minutes at the end of each session for the Chairs to summarize the session and to lead a general discussion on current controversies, unresolved issues and future directions that will engage a large percentage of the audience. This meeting is generally oversubscribed and considered a 'must-attend' for many in the field. Research conducted by attendees is funded by several NIH institutes, including NIGMS, NCI, NIBIB, NIDDK, NIMH and NIAID. Thus, the work discussed is of general significance to human health and disease.

说明（由申请人提供）：这笔赠款将部分资助受邀参加将于 7 月 10 日至 15 日在新罕布什尔州安多弗 Proctor 学院举行的分子膜生物学戈登会议的演讲者和会议主席的差旅费和会议注册费。这次会议汇集了研究膜结构和功能各个方面的科学家，包括囊泡运输和细胞器生物发生和结构、脂质生物学、膜蛋白结构和功能以及蛋白质易位。因此，MMB 在社区中具有巨大的价值，因为它促进了专注于理解膜功能复杂性的学科之间的详细讨论和科学交流。提议的会议主题包括：膜融合；多种易位机械；细胞内分选机制；组织膜子域；膜弯曲/裂变；膜的构象动力学；脂质和区室特性；细胞器生物发生和动力学；和运输载体的形成。我们邀请了多元化的演讲者，其中许多人处于职业生涯早期，其中 31% 是女性。我们为从提交的摘要中选出的演讲者预留了多达 18 个空位，增加了我们听到最新和令人兴奋的结果的机会，并使我们的演讲者多样化。我们邀请了几位更高级的领导人担任会议主席，并在每次会议结束时留出 15 分钟时间，供主席总结会议并就当前争议、未解决的问题和未来方向进行一般性讨论很大一部分观众。这次会议普遍获得超额认购，被许多业内人士认为是“必须参加”的会议。与会者进行的研究由多个 NIH 机构资助，包括 NIGMS、NCI、NIBIB、NIDDK、NIMH 和 NIAID。因此，所讨论的工作对人类健康和疾病具有普遍意义。
