 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a request to support the 2015 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and associated Seminar (GRS) on Cartilage Biology and Pathology that will be held in Galveston, Texas. The GRC will be the seventh in a series of highly successful biennial conferences, and it will be preceded for the first time by a GRS, a pre-meeting exclusively dedicated to and organized by trainees. The GRC on Cartilage Biology and Pathology owes its success to three major principles. First, it is the only conference that brings together clinicians-scientists, basic- science researchers and biomedical engineers, and covers the whole spectrum of cartilage pathologies and cartilage research disciplines. Second and exemplifying the GRC tradition, the conference emphasizes forward thinking, unpublished cutting-edge findings, and state-of-the-art technologies, alternates formal presentations with poster sessions and informal discussions, and limits attendance to 200 participants, a forum that promotes collegial interactions and establishment of productive collaborations. Third, it is open to researchers at all career stages and encourages mentoring, networking, and collaborations among aspirant, young and senior investigators. This last principle will be further emphasized in 2015 with the addition of a GRS. The GRS/GRC on Cartilage Biology and Pathology are justified not merely by the fact that cartilage is a pivotal skeletal tissue from development on to adulthood, but even more so by the fact that cartilage malformation and degeneration diseases affect the lifespan and quality of life of a large proportion of humans and remain largely incurable. Research to better understand the causes and progression of these diseases and to find strategies to reverse and even eradicate them is thus a top priority. In order to help change the clinical reality of cartilage diseases, the GRS will highlight recent advances and challenges in understanding cartilage diseases and the overarching theme of the GRC is entitled "working together at the frontiers of Science and technologies to eradicate cartilage diseases". Eminent scientists and promising young investigators will stimulate the audience according to this theme and will present in scientific sessions directly addressing the newest advances and remaining challenges towards understanding the various aspects of cartilage biology, disease types, and translational approaches. We expect these 2015 GRC/GRS on Cartilage Biology and Pathology to empower researchers across disciplines to make milestone progress towards improving the health of humans with all types of cartilage diseases and thus towards fulfilling the missions of the National Institutes of Health.

 描述（由适用提供）：这是支持2015年戈登研究会议（GRC）和相关研讨会（GRS）的请求，该研讨会（GRS）将在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿举行。 GRC将是一系列非常成功的双年展会议中的第七名，这将是首次由GRS（专门专门致力于学员和组织）的GRS之前。关于软骨生物学和病理学的GRC归功于其成功归功于三个主要原则。首先，这是唯一将临床医生科学家，基础科学研究人员和生物医学工程师汇集在一起​​的会议，并涵盖了整个软骨病理和软骨研究学科的全部范围。第二个和典范的GRC传统强调了前瞻性思维，未发表的尖端发现以及最先进的技术，替代方案的正式演讲，带有海报会议和非正式的讨论，并将出席的参与者限制为一个论坛，该论坛促进了合作互动和产品协作的建立。第三，在所有职业阶段，研究人员都开放，有抱负，年轻和高级调查员之间的鼓励指导，网络和合作。这一最后的原则将在2015年加入GRS进一步强调。软骨生物学和病理学上的GRS/GRC不仅是由于软骨是从发育到发育的关键性骨骼组织的事实证明 成年，但由于软骨畸形和变性疾病会影响大部分人类的寿命和生活质量，并且在很大程度上无法治愈。研究以更好地了解这些疾病的原因和进展，并找到逆转甚至无线电的策略，因此是当务之急。为了帮助改变软骨疾病的临床现实，GRS将重点介绍了解软骨疾病的最新进展和挑战，GRC的总体主题的标题为“在科学和技术的边界上共同为放射性软骨疾病共同工作”。著名的科学家和承诺年轻的研究人员将根据这个主题刺激听众，并将在科学会议上进行直接解决最新进展，并剩下的挑战，以理解软骨生物学，疾病类型和翻译方法的各个方面。我们期望这些2015年的GRC/GRS关于软骨生物学和病理学，能够使跨学科的研究人员能够使里程碑的进步朝着改善各种软骨疾病的人类健康，从而履行国立卫生研究院的任务。
