DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): "The Auditory System" Gordon Research Conference ("Auditory GRC") will convene ~125-150 scientists of diverse expertise at Bates College on July 13-18, 2014, to discuss and debate new findings in hearing research and related fields, under the theme of "Encoding hearing: From Genes to Behavior". The Auditory GRC is preceded by a smaller Gordon Research Seminar ("Auditory GRS", July 12-13) comprising talks and posters by 40-50 investigators-in-training and serving as a gateway to the GRC. Together the Auditory GRC & GRS offer a unique combination of features, including: breadth of research; cutting-edge emphasis; mingling of investigators from all ranks and diverse sub-fields and locales; and intimate size and extended discussion time, allowing for close and sustained interactions. Some of these features arise from unique qualities of the hearing research field and others from the Gordon Conferences' established nature. Since the 1930s, the GRC organization has supported meetings that are famous for their unfettered debate and discussion of emerging results. The program of the 2014 Auditory GRC emphasizes the diverse ways in which auditory and related information is encoded, broadly interpreted so as to include new results in areas from genetics to central nervous system physiology and behavior. Topics include genetic regulation of inner ear epithelia, hair bundles, and birdsong; hair cell transduction and synaptic transmission; noise trauma at cochlear and systems levels; and neural encoding of sound location, speech, and auditory scenes. We have learned from experience to spread different model systems and technologies throughout the sessions, so that each session has something for everyone - encouraging unusually high attendance throughout the meeting and cross-fertilization across disciplines. The clinical importance of auditory research will be highlighted with presentations that consider the mechanisms underlying human disorders (e.g. noise trauma and aging) and translational efforts to fix them (e.g., hair cell regeneration). For the Auditory GRS, talks are selected from registrants' submitted abstracts and anchored by a keynote address by an invited mentor-participant who is an assistant professor. Mentoring is an active component of the GRS - in addition to the keynote speaker, the GRC organizers (more senior investigators) are available for discussion, and a mentoring session featuring a representative from NIDCD and other grant agencies is planned.

描述（由申请人提供）：“听觉系统”戈登研究会议（“听觉 GRC”）将于 2014 年 7 月 13 日至 18 日在贝茨学院召集约 125-150 名具有不同专业知识的科学家，讨论和辩论听力方面的新发现主题为“编码听觉：从基因到行为”。在听觉 GRC 之前，将举行一次规模较小的戈登研究研讨会（“听觉 GRS”，7 月 12 日至 13 日），其中包括 40-50 名受训调查员的演讲和海报，并作为通往 GRC 的门户。 Auditory GRC 和 GRS 共同提供了独特的功能组合，包括：研究的广度；前沿重点；来自各级、不同子领域和地点的调查人员混合在一起；亲密的规模和延长的讨论时间，允许密切和持续的互动。其中一些特征源于听力研究领域的独特品质，另一些则源于戈登会议的既定性质。自 20 世纪 30 年代以来，GRC 组织一直支持各种会议，这些会议因对新成果进行不受限制的辩论和讨论而闻名。 2014 年听觉 GRC 的计划强调听觉和相关信息编码和广泛解释的多种方式，以便包括从遗传学到中枢神经系统生理学和行为领域的新成果。主题包括内耳上皮、发束和鸟鸣的基因调控；毛细胞转导和突触传递；耳蜗和系统层面的噪音创伤；以及声音位置、语音和听觉场景的神经编码。我们从经验中吸取了教训，在整个会议中传播不同的模型系统和技术，以便每次会议都适合每个人 - 鼓励整个会议的异常高出席率和跨学科的交叉融合。听觉研究的临床重要性将通过考虑人类疾病（例如噪音创伤和衰老）的潜在机制以及解决这些问题的转化努力（例如毛细胞再生）的演讲来强调。对于听觉 GRS，演讲是从注册者提交的摘要中选出的，并由受邀的助理教授导师参与者进行主题演讲。指导是 GRS 的一个积极组成部分 - 除了主讲人之外，GRC 组织者（更高级的研究人员）也可以参与讨论，并且计划举办由 NIDCD 和其他资助机构的代表参加的指导会议。
