DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a continuation of the biennial Strategic Conference of Zebrafish Investigators (SCZI), held in Asilomar, USA. These meetings allow zebrafish principal investigators to discuss current research and promote coordinated advancement of research using fish as a model system. The meeting will accommodate up to 200 principal investigators. The proposed 2013 meeting will be the fifth international workshop; continuation of the series will follow with the 6th and 7th meetings to be organized in February of 2015 and 2017. Previous meetings have consistently been highly rated by participants; all survey respondents from the 2011 meeting plan to attend or might attend the 2013 conference. The zebrafish is one of the premier model organisms for the genetic analysis of vertebrate development. Moreover, the zebrafish has quickly been established as an outstanding system in which to model human diseases. Recent advances in transgenesis, forward and reverse genetics, imaging techniques, and chemical screening have been widely disseminated throughout an active, collaborative community. The proposed meeting will continue to foster the development of resources, establishment of collaborations and development of interdisciplinary interactions. One third of past participants have been new investigators. In addition to having the opportunity to learn about new findings and establish collaborations, new investigators will have the opportunity to attend discussion sessions on topics such as grant writing or balancing lab and life that are led by senior investigators. Past meetings have had a solid record of inclusion of women and minority participants. This grant will support the registration and accommodation of one invited keynote speaker and provide financial assistance for 30 participants selected from the submitted abstracts. These 30 recipients of financial support will be chosen based on the impact and originality of their abstracts as well as on the basis of gender, race, career stage and need.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议继续在美国阿西洛玛举行两年一度的斑马鱼研究人员战略会议（SCZI）。这些会议使斑马鱼主要研究人员能够讨论当前的研究，并促进使用鱼类作为模型系统的研究的协调进展。会议最多可容纳 200 名主要研究人员。拟议的 2013 年会议将是第五次国际研讨会；该系列的后续活动将于 2015 年 2 月和 2017 年举行第六次和第七次会议。以前的会议一直受到与会者的高度评价； 2011 年会议的所有调查受访者都计划参加或可能参加 2013 年会议。斑马鱼是脊椎动物发育遗传分析的主要模型生物之一。此外，斑马鱼已迅速成为模拟人类疾病的杰出系统。转基因、正向和反向遗传学、成像技术和化学筛选方面的最新进展已在活跃的协作社区中广泛传播。拟议的会议将继续促进资源开发、合作建立和跨学科互动的发展。过去的参与者中有三分之一是新的调查员。除了有机会了解新发现并建立合作之外，新研究人员还将有机会参加由高级研究人员主持的关于资助写作或平衡实验室和生活等主题的讨论会。过去的会议在女性和少数族裔参与者的参与方面有着良好的记录。这笔赠款将支持一名受邀主讲嘉宾的注册和住宿，并为从提交的摘要中选出的 30 名参与者提供经济援助。这 30 名财务支持接受者将根据其摘要的影响力和原创性以及性别、种族、职业阶段和需求进行选择。
