DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 application requests funds to support the 2011 Fertilization and Activation of Development Gordon Research Conference. The 2011 meeting will be the 19th such conference, having started 1974, and then meeting biennially since 1977. This Gordon Research Conference on Fertilization and Activation of Development addresses the myriad of biological phenomena - biochemical, biophysical, molecular, cellular, and physiological - that impact the merger of the two gametes and the initiation of the development of a new individual. It is also noteworthy that this will be the first Fertilization and Activation of Development Gordon Research Conference since the awarding of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Dr. Robert G. Edwards for the development of in vitro fertilization. This further underscores the significance of this area of biology and biomedical research. The Fertilization and Activation of Development Gordon Research Conference is the only meeting worldwide focusing specifically on the biology of fertilization. The scientific program for the 2011 conference will follow the highly successful traditional Gordon Research Conference format with sessions held in the mornings and evenings, leaving free time in the afternoons and after the evening sessions for informal and friendly interactions. Two poster sessions are scheduled, and the scientific sessions will include talks by speakers on topics including perturbations to normal reproductive processes that affect the gametes (e.g., age, environmental exposures, assisted reproductive technologies), effects of the reproductive tract environment on the gametes, sperm motility and chemotaxis, sperm entry into the egg, egg activation signals and events, and processes mediating successful early embryogenesis. The keynote address will be presented by Gregory S. Kopf, PhD, a previous chair of this Gordon Research Conference who has worked in a range of experimental systems, and in academia and in industry. His talk is entitled, "Where are the Next Horizons for Gamete Biology? - A Blue Print for the Future," in which Dr. Kopf will discuss the importance of gamete biology from both historical and future perspectives, and will pose a strategic blue print for its future so that the importance of this field continues to be recognized both by other scientific disciplines and potential new investigators. The overriding goals for this conference are to create a forum for presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research, to foster a vibrant and interactive atmosphere to facilitate scientific interactions, and to provide a supportive environment for young investigators as well as participants from groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences, including women, underrepresented ethnic/racial minorities, and people with disabilities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Gordon Research Conference on Fertilization and Activation of Development will convene in summer 2011, for the 19th time since the first such conference in 1974. This long- running conference brings together scientists from around the world to discuss cutting edge research on the fundamental biology of sperm, eggs, fertilization, and early development. This field is all the more relevant in light of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Medicine being awarded to Dr. Robert G. Edwards for the development of in vitro fertilization, a technique that is used to help the many couples who face struggles with infertility and has led to the birth of ~4 million individuals worldwide.

描述（由申请人提供）：此R13申请要求资金支持2011年的施肥和激活Gordon研究会议。 2011年的会议将是1974年开始的第19届会议，然后自1977年以来举行了两年一度的会议。这次戈登施肥和开发激活研究会议涉及无数的生物学现象 - 生物学，生物物理，分子，细胞，细胞和生理学 - 影响了两种游戏以及新个人的启动的合并。还值得注意的是，这将是自2010年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予罗伯特·G·爱德华兹（Robert G. Edwards）博士以开发体外受精的诺贝尔研究会议的第一次受精和激活。这进一步强调了这一生物学和生物医学研究领域的重要性。戈登研究会议的施肥和激活是全球唯一专门针对受精的生物学的会议。 2011年会议的科学计划将遵循非常成功的传统戈登研究会议形式，并在早晨和晚上举行会议，在下午和晚上的闲暇时间进行非正式和友好的互动。安排了两次海报会议，科学会议将包括演讲者就主题进行谈判，包括对影响配子的正常生殖过程的扰动（例如，年龄，环境暴露，辅助生殖技术），对生殖质量的生殖质量和仪表仪的启用，既定的，既有元素，并激活了蛋，并激活了仪表，并激活了仪表仪，仪表仪，仪表仪，仪表仪，仪表仪，仪表仪，仪表仪，仪表仪，化学典范，仪表仪，仪表板，启用仪表式，启动，启用了剂量，启用了剂量，启用仪表式，启用仪表式，启用仪表，启用仪表式，既激活，既激活”成功的早期胚胎发生。主题演讲将由Gregory S. Kopf博士介绍，该博士是该戈登研究会议的先前主席，他曾在一系列实验系统，学术界和行业中工作。他的演讲题为“配子生物学的下一个视野？ - 未来的蓝图”，KOPF博士将讨论配子生物学从历史和未来的角度讨论的重要性，并将为其未来构成战略性蓝图，以便其未来的重要性，以至于该领域的重要性继续被其他科学阶层和潜在的新研究者所认识到。这次会议的重要目标是为介绍和讨论尖端研究，培养一种充满活力和互动的氛围，以促进科学互动，并为年轻的研究人员以及传统上在包括科学界人数不足的群体的参与者提供支持环境，包括女性，包括女性，成年的族裔/种族/种族少数少数人，以及不利于妇女的人和不利于。 公共卫生相关性：自1974年第一次这样的会议以来的第19次，戈登施肥和发展激活的戈登研究会议将在2011年召开。这次漫长的会议汇集了来自世界各地的科学家，讨论有关精子，鸡蛋，肥料，肥料和早期发展的基本生物学的尖端研究。鉴于2010年诺贝尔医学奖（Robert G. Edwards博士）的体外受精的发展，该领域更加相关，该技术用于帮助许多面对不孕症斗争的夫妇，并导致了全球约400万个人的诞生。
