DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference on the Cell and Molecular Biology of Bones and Teeth originated in 1954 and has a distinguished history as a proving ground for new ideas in the field of skeletal research and the study of calciotropic hormones and how they relate to bone biology. The Bones and Teeth Conference is said to be unique in the breadth and depth of its coverage of new developments in the physiology and molecular biology of cartilage, bones, and teeth. The Gordon Research Conference format differs from virtually all other scientific meetings in providing an extensive opportunity for open, free, and informal discussion. The number of participants is limited to about 130, and attendees include international leaders in the field, young investigators, postdoctoral fellows and students. The success of the Gordon Conference as a forum for the discussion of state-of-the-art research advances is attributable to its limited size, geographical isolation and overall structure. The 2003 Conference will focus on areas in which important new developments have occurred within the past two years. It will include sessions on: vitamin D action, osteoblast signaling, osteoclasts and bone resorption, craniofacial biology and tooth development, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein, genetic determinants of bone mass, skeletal development, and bone extracellular matrix. The purpose of this proposal is to request funds to partially defray the costs of speakers' transportation and subsistence. These funds, if granted will aid in allowing the Gordon Research Conference to fulfill its function to stimulate further creativity in bone, cartilage and tooth research.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于骨骼和牙齿的细胞和分子生物学研究会议，起源于1954年，具有杰出的历史，是骨骼研究领域的新思想的探索和钙质激素研究的新思想，以及它们与骨骼生物学的关系。据说，骨骼和牙齿会议在其在软骨，骨骼和牙齿的生理学和分子生物学方面的新发展的广度和深度上是独一无二的。戈登研究会议格式与几乎所有其他科学会议不同，为开放，自由和非正式讨论提供了广泛的机会。参与者的人数仅限于130名，与会者包括该领域的国际领导人，年轻的调查员，博士后研究员和学生。戈登会议作为讨论最先进的研究进展的论坛的成功归因于其规模有限，地理隔离和整体结构。 2003年的会议将重点介绍过去两年来重要的新发展的领域。它将包括有关：维生素D作用，成骨细胞信号传导，破骨细胞和骨吸收，颅面生物学和牙齿发育，甲状旁腺激素（PTH）和与PTH相关的蛋白质，骨骼质量发育，骨骼发育以及骨外细胞基质的遗传确定酶。 该提案的目的是要求资金部分支付发言人的运输和生存成本。这些资金，如果被授予，将有助于允许戈登研究会议履行其功能，以刺激骨骼，软骨和牙齿研究的进一步创造力。
