PROJECT SUMMARY We propose a continuation of the annual Strategic Conference of Zebrafish Investigators (SCZI), the main meeting of principal investigators using the zebrafish model. Previously, this was a biannual conference held in Asilomar, USA. In 2019, the International Zebrafish Society collaborated with the European Zebrafish Society to adopt a 3-year rotation schedule for both their larger International Zebrafish Conference (IZFC) gathering zebrafish researchers at all career stages and the SCZI so that the locations will rotate between US/Canada, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. This new, focused meeting structure aims to promote greater international collaboration by reducing the total number of international conferences, supporting the goals of both societies to increase inclusivity and to reduce the travel-associated carbon footprint. The SCZI is a prime venue for zebrafish principal investigators to discuss current research and promote coordinated advancement of research using zebrafish as a model system (as well as connections to related, emerging aquatic models). The meeting will accommodate up to 200 principal investigators. The proposed 10th SCZI meeting will take place in 2024 in Asilomar, CA; continuation of the series will follow in Europe 2025, Asia-Pacific in 2026, and so on. The zebrafish has become a powerful model organism for the genetic analysis of vertebrate development. Moreover, the zebrafish has emerged as a versatile vertebrate system to model human diseases and discover underlying mechanisms, especially when used in conjunction with other vertebrate models, and to screen for therapeutics and toxins. Advances in forward and in particular, reverse genetics, imaging techniques, transgenesis, and chemical screening are rapidly and widely disseminated throughout an active, collaborative community that has grown in coherence and connectivity through international meetings. The proposed SCZI meeting will continue to foster the critical development of resources, establishment of collaborations, and expansion of interdisciplinary interactions. Importantly, one third of past participants have been new investigators: in addition to the open access to new findings in the field and to establish collaborations, new investigators will have the opportunity to attend discussion sessions on topics such as grant writing and balancing professional development and personal growth chaired by senior investigators. Past meetings have had a solid record of inclusion of women and minority participants, and we will continue to provide inclusive meeting environment. This grant will provide financial assistance for up to 30 US-based junior laboratory heads to attend the conference. Recipients of financial support will be chosen based on the impact and originality of their abstracts as well as considering gender, race, career stage, and need.

项目概要 我们建议继续举办斑马鱼研究人员年度战略会议（SCZI），该会议的主要议题是 使用斑马鱼模型的主要研究人员会议。此前，这是每两年一次的会议 在美国阿西洛玛举行。 2019年，国际斑马鱼协会与欧洲斑马鱼协会合作 协会将为大型国际斑马鱼会议 (IZFC) 采用三年轮换计划 聚集各个职业阶段的斑马鱼研究人员和 SCZI，以便地点可以轮换 美国/加拿大、欧洲和亚太地区。这种新的、重点突出的会议结构旨在促进更大的国际化 通过减少国际会议总数来开展合作，支持两个学会的目标 提高包容性并减少与旅行相关的碳足迹。 SCZI 是斑马鱼的主要栖息地 主要研究者讨论当前研究并促进研究的协调推进 斑马鱼作为模型系统（以及与相关的新兴水生模型的连接）。会议将 最多可容纳 200 名主要研究人员。拟议的第十次 SCZI 会议将于 2024 年在 加利福尼亚州阿西洛玛；该系列的续集将于 2025 年在欧洲推出，2026 年在亚太地区推出，依此类推。 斑马鱼已成为脊椎动物遗传分析的强大模式生物 发展。此外，斑马鱼已成为模拟人类疾病的多功能脊椎动物系统 并发现潜在机制，特别是与其他脊椎动物模型结合使用时，并 筛查治疗方法和毒素。正向遗传学、特别是反向遗传学、成像技术的进步， 转基因和化学筛选在积极、协作的环境中迅速广泛传播 通过国际会议，社区的一致性和连通性不断增强。拟议的 SCZI 会议将继续促进资源的关键开发、建立合作、 和扩大跨学科互动。重要的是，过去的参与者中有三分之一是新参与者 研究人员：除了开放获取该领域的新发现并建立合作之外， 研究人员将有机会参加有关拨款写作和平衡等主题的讨论会 由高级调查员主持的专业发展和个人成长。过去的会议已经取得了扎实的成果 女性和少数族裔参与者的包容性记录，我们将继续提供包容性 会议环境。 这笔赠款将为最多 30 名美国初级实验室负责人提供经济援助，以参加 会议。将根据摘要的影响力和原创性来选择财务支持的接受者 以及考虑性别、种族、职业阶段和需求。
