DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests partial funding for the Reproductive Tract Biology Gordon Conference to be held June 18 -23, 2006. Please note that due to the scientific content of the meeting we request the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development as the primary sponsor of the meeting. We also request joint sponsorship by the Office of Women's Health, the National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Human Genome Research Institute and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. The number of requested sponsors reflects the unusual nature of this conference, which focuses on the biology and the pathology of the organs and organ systems of the male and female reproductive tracts, rather than on specific molecules or processes and on breast cancer. Therefore, this meeting attracts participants from a wide variety of fields and backgrounds ranging from basic science to clinical practice. The principal goal of the conference is to stimulate cross-disciplinary interactions between research workers whose focus is either mainly on female or male reproductive biology. Its aim is also to provoke thoughtful discussions upon the mechanisms behind reproductive pathologies and to stimulate interactions between clinicians and basic scientists to formulate new therapeutic modalities for these conditions. Three specific aims allow us to achieve these goals: 1) the scientific content of the conference will be at the highest level. This will be achieved by inviting speakers of the highest caliber from both within the U.S. and abroad, as well as promoting exposure of younger scientists through a young investigator and poster sessions; 2) there will be a strong emphasis on research with clinical implications and an attempt made to highlight important translational areas; and 3) the reproductive Tract Gordon Conference has a rich tradition of mentorship for young scientists and attracting a diverse group of attendees from academic, industry and the government. Selection of attendees will follow this tradition and not only internationally known scientists will be selected but also more junior ones including post-doctoral fellows and graduate students. Cognizance will also be paid to the need to have an ethnically diverse group and a balance between genders. In summary, we are planning an exciting conference, reporting cutting edge, largely unpublished research in reproductive biology that upholds the traditions of this long running highly rated Gordon Conference (over 36 years) to promote outstanding research, mentorship, and clinical translation.

说明（由申请人提供）：本申请要求为 2006 年 6 月 18 日至 23 日举行的生殖道生物学戈登会议提供部分资金。请注意，由于会议的科学内容，我们要求国家儿童健康和人类研究所发展作为会议的主要赞助商。我们还请求妇女健康办公室、国家癌症研究所、国家糖尿病、消化和肾脏疾病研究所、国家环境健康科学研究所、国家人类基因组研究所和国家普通医学科学研究所联合赞助。请求的赞助商数量反映了本次会议的不同寻常性质，其重点是男性和女性生殖道器官和器官系统的生物学和病理学，而不是特定分子或过程以及乳腺癌。因此，本次会议吸引了从基础科学到临床实践等各个领域和背景的参与者。会议的主要目标是促进主要关注女性或男性生殖生物学的研究人员之间的跨学科互动。其目的还在于引发对生殖病理背后机制的深思熟虑的讨论，并刺激临床医生和基础科学家之间的互动，为这些疾病制定新的治疗方式。三个具体目标使我们能够实现这些目标：1）会议的科学内容将达到最高水平。这将通过邀请来自美国和国外最优秀的演讲者，以及通过年轻研究者和海报会议来促进年轻科学家的曝光来实现； 2）将高度重视具有临床意义的研究，并尝试突出重要的转化领域； 3) 生殖道戈登会议有着为年轻科学家提供指导的丰富传统，吸引了来自学术界、工业界和政府的不同群体的与会者。与会者的选择将遵循这一传统，不仅会选择国际知名科学家，还会选择更多的初级科学家，包括博士后和研究生。还将认识到建立种族多元化群体和性别平衡的必要性。总之，我们正在筹划一场激动人心的会议，报告生殖生物学领域的前沿、大部分未发表的研究，秉承这一长期高评价的戈登会议（超过 36 年）的传统，以促进杰出的研究、指导和临床转化。
