DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since 1980, the biennial Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Musculoskeletal Biology and Bioengineering has been the leading forum for the presentation and discussion of new and unpublished information in the field. Because of the ample time and opportunity for discussion and interaction, it has invariably led to new collaborations, initiatives and research directions. Post-conference evaluations consistently rate the conference as "outstanding". Funds are requested for partial support of the 2014 Musculoskeletal Biology and Bioengineering GRC to be held again at Proctor Academy in Andover, NH. This venue has hosted this GRC for many years and is always highly rated as a calm, scenic, and isolated site that fosters maximum interactions between the participants, who typically constitute a diverse mix of individuals at various stages of career development. The theme for the 2014 GRC is "Identifying and Overcoming the Barriers to Translation". This topic recognizes that, despite the recent enthusiasm for the concept of translating research findings into clinically useful products and procedures, translating musculoskeletal research findings into the clinic has been slow and difficult. More generally, it is now widely acknowledged that translation is much more difficult than was originally thought. One reason for this is that the various disciplines needed for successful translation often do not co-exist in the same space or speak the same language. By bringing together and isolating for 5 days, an eclectic combination of scientists, engineers, clinician-scientists, clinicians, clinical trial specialists and regulatoy experts from academia, government, industry and non-profit organizations, the proposed GRC promises to address this matter in a deep and substantial way. The proposed meeting format is basically unchanged from the one that has served so well in the past. It consists of 9 separate sessions, all involving invited speakers. There will be 2 poster sessions. Afternoons will be free for interactive recreation and discussion; the total number of attendees is capped at 180 to encourage interaction. For the first time, this GRC will be preceded by a two-day Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), also to be held at Proctor Academy. Additional funds are requested for partial support of the GRS, whose theme is "bridging the disciplines"; this reflects the uniquely interdisciplinary nature of musculoskeletal research. The GRS will provide a non- intimidating forum for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and other individuals at an early stage of their career to present and discuss their work and form networks. An attendance of 50 individuals is expected. A Chair and Associate Chair of the GRS, both post-doctoral fellows, have been appointed and are working closely with the Chair and Vice-Chair of the GRC to develop the program, which will include a mentoring component. There will be 4 oral and 2 poster sessions. The Chair and Vice-Chair of the GRC will attend the GRS. Both the GRC and GRS will strive to involve women, underrepresented minorities and persons with disabilities.

描述（由申请人提供）：自1980年以来，关于肌肉骨骼生物学和生物工程的双年展研究会议（GRC）一直是该领域的新信息和未发表信息的主要论坛。由于有足够的时间和机会进行讨论和互动的机会，因此它总是导致新的合作，计划和研究方向。会议后评估一致地将会议评为“未偿”。要求资金部分支持2014年的肌肉骨骼生物学，并将在新罕布什尔州安多佛市的Proctor Academy再次举行生物工程GRC。这个场地已经主持了很多年，并且始终被高度评价为一个平静，风景秀丽和孤立的站点，该站点促进了参与者之间最大程度的互动，他们通常在职业发展的各个阶段构成了各种各样的组合。 2014 GRC的主题是“识别并克服翻译的障碍”。该主题认识到，尽管最近对将研究发现转化为临床有用的产品和程序的概念充满热情，但将肌肉骨骼研究结果转化为诊所的概念很缓慢和困难。更普遍的是，现在广泛地承认翻译要比最初想象的要困难得多。原因之一是成功翻译所需的各种学科通常不会在同一空间并存或说相同的语言。通过将科学家，工程师，临床医生，临床医生，临床医生，临床试验专家以及来自学术界，政府，政府，工业和非营利组织的折衷组合汇集和隔离5天，拟议中的GRC承诺以一种深入而实质性的方式解决这一问题。拟议的会议格式基本上与过去非常好的会议格式没有改变。它由9个单独的会议组成，所有会议都涉及被邀请的演讲者。将有2个海报会议。下午将免费进行互动娱乐和讨论；参与者的总数为180，以鼓励互动。该GRC首次将在Proctor Academy举行的为期两天的Gordon Research研讨会（GRS）之前。要求额外的资金对GRS进行部分支持，其主题是“桥接学科”；这反映了肌肉骨骼研究的独特跨学科性质。 GRS将在职业生涯的早期阶段为研究生，博士后研究员和其他人提供一个非恐吓论坛，以介绍和讨论他们的工作和形成网络。预计将有50个人出席。两位博士后研究员的主席兼副主席已被任命，并正在与GRC的主席和副主席紧密合作，以制定该计划，其中包括指导组成部分。将有4个口头和2个海报会议。 GRC的椅子和副主席将参加GRS。 GRC和GRS都将努力使妇女，代表性不足的少数民族和残疾人参与。
