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.

项目摘要 我们建议延续斑马鱼调查员年度战略会议（SCZI），主要是 使用斑马鱼模型的主要研究人员会议。以前，这是一年一次的会议 在美国阿斯洛玛举行。 2019年，国际斑马鱼协会与欧洲斑马鱼合作 社会要为其较大的国际斑马鱼会议（IZFC）采用3年轮换时间表 在各个职业阶段和SCZI聚集斑马鱼研究人员 美国/加拿大，欧洲和亚太地区。这种新的，重点的会议结构旨在促进更大的国际 通过减少国际会议总数，支持两个社会的目标来合作 提高包容性并减少与旅行相关的碳足迹。 SCZI是斑马鱼的主要场所 首席研究人员讨论当前的研究并促进研究的协调进步 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10届SCZI会议将于2024年在 加利福尼亚州的Asilomar；该系列的延续将在2025年的欧洲，2026年的亚太地区，依此类推。 斑马鱼已成为脊椎动物遗传分析的强大模型生物 发展。此外，斑马鱼已经成为一种多功能脊椎动物系统，用于建模人类疾病 并发现潜在的机制，尤其是与其他脊椎动物模型一起使用时，然后 筛选治疗剂和毒素。前进，尤其是反向遗传学，成像技术的进步， 在主动的协作中，转带和化学筛查迅速而广泛地传播 通过国际会议在连贯和连通性发展的社区。拟议的Sczi 会议将继续促进资源的重要发展，建立合作， 和跨学科互动的扩展。重要的是，过去三分之一的参与者是新的 调查人员：除了开放访问该领域的新发现并建立合作，新的 调查人员将有机会参加有关赠款写作和平衡等主题的讨论会议 由高级调查员主持的专业发展和个人成长。过去的会议有一个扎实的 包括妇女和少数族裔参与者的记录，我们将继续提供包容性 会议环境。 该赠款将为多达30个美国的初级实验室负责人提供财政援助，以参加 会议。将根据其摘要的影响和独创性选择财政支持的接收者 以及考虑性别，种族，职业阶段和需求。
