DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a request for partial funding support for the 6th annual Sex and Gene Expression Conference (SAGE VI), to be held March 17-20, 2005. The primary goal of this conference is to explore the interplay between biological sex and genetic expression throughout the lifespan. The broad scope of topics covered brings together a multidisciplinary group of scientists whose backgrounds include cellular, molecular and developmental biology, genetics, endocrinology, neuroscience, physiology and behavioral science. A second, but equally important goal of this conference is to facilitate the exchange of information across disciplines and to promote the establishment of interdisciplinary collaborations that will enhance the understanding of the role of sex differences in health and disease. The conference will consist of five formal sessions, with three oral presentations per session. There will be two plenary dinner sessions and a closing plenary. There will be two afternoon poster sessions and one new investigator panel to highlight the work of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Speakers are selected on the basis of their background and expertise. This year's conference will explore sex differences in mental health, from genes to behavior, the molecular and genetic basis of drug addiction, chromosome disorders, epigenetics and disease and sex differences in metabolism and energy homeostasis. Sex-based biology is rapidly developing into a new field of research, and this conference offers a unique opportunity for new and established investigators to share their findings in a relaxed setting. Attendance to this conference is by invitation only and it is limited to 60 established investigators and 25 new investigators. Senior investigators are encouraged to nominate junior faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows for invitation to the conference. A summary of the conference presentations will be compiled into a report and these proceedings will be distributed to various audiences and posted in PDF format on the SWHR website.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是为将于 2005 年 3 月 17-20 日举行的第六届年度性与基因表达会议 (SAGE VI) 提供部分资金支持的请求。本次会议的主要目标是探讨整个生命周期中生物性别和基因表达之间的相互作用。涵盖的主题范围广泛，汇集了多学科科学家小组，他们的背景包括细胞、分子和发育生物学、遗传学、内分泌学、神经科学、生理学和行为科学。本次会议的第二个但同样重要的目标是促进跨学科信息交流并促进跨学科合作的建立，从而增强对性别差异在健康和疾病中的作用的理解。会议将由五场正式会议组成，每场会议有三场口头报告。 将举行两次全体晚宴和一次闭幕全体会议。下午将举行两次海报会议和一个新的研究者小组，以突出研究生和博士后研究员的工作。演讲者是根据他们的背景和专业知识来选择的。 今年的会议将探讨心理健康方面的性别差异，从基因到行为、毒瘾的分子和遗传基础、染色体紊乱、表观遗传学和疾病以及新陈代谢和能量稳态方面的性别差异。基于性别的生物学正在迅速发展成为一个新的研究领域，这次会议为新老研究人员提供了一个独特的机会，让他们在轻松的环境中分享他们的发现。本次会议仅限受邀参加，仅限 60 名已成立的研究人员和 25 名新研究人员。鼓励高级研究人员提名初级教师、研究生和博士后研究员受邀参加会议。会议演讲摘要将被汇编成一份报告，这些会议记录将分发给不同的受众，并以 PDF 格式发布在 SWHR 网站上。
