DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for the 2012 Microbial Stress Response Gordon Research Conference to be held July 15-20, 2012 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA. The 2012 Microbial Stress Response meeting will provide a forum for open reporting of recent advances from studying how individual microbes and microbial communities to respond to stress. This biannual conference traditionally attracts biological and physical scientists studying stress responses in medical, environmental, and biotechnology-relevant microbes as well as in model organisms, using genetic, cell biological, genomic and computational techniques. The 2012 meeting will integrate sessions describing cutting edge, genetic, molecular, and computational approaches to stress responses spanning from single microbes to communities. We plan to highlight the influence of new approaches to dissecting stress responses in the 2012 meeting. For example, the 2012 meeting is the perfect venue for in depth dialogue between researchers using high throughput sequencing and genomic techniques to study microbial stress responses in communities and scientists analyzing pure cultures and model organisms. We expect this dialogue will benefit all participants, providing basic biological insight to researchers analyzing complex microbial communities and informing scientists studying pure cultures of advances coming from deep-sequencing and other high throughput techniques in ecosystems of medical, environmental and biotechnological significance. We predict the conference will increase understanding of the biological, technical and computational issues, foster scientific discussions, and catalyze new collaborations among researchers studying stress responses at different temporal, organismal and community scales. This meeting is very successful by many criteria, and traditionally has a waiting list of interested attendees. Due to community interest, the Microbial Stress Response meeting is held in a Gordon Research Conference venue that houses ~175 and can accommodate ~60 posters by students, post-doc and other researchers. It is large enough to include a diverse audience but of a size and length that allows deep discussion and considerable interaction among attendees. The meeting organizers are committed to continue this meeting's tradition of participant diversity and will work to identify and include women, members of underrepresented groups and junior scientists as speakers or participants. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Stress responses are critical to bacterial growth, establishment of beneficial microbe-host interactions, as well as for pathogens to colonize hosts, initiate virulence programs and resist antimicrobial treatments. The new results presented at this meeting will help the community understand how stress responses control activities of beneficial and pathogenic microbes and develop strategies to improve human health. NIH funds will help support participation by a demographically diverse audience of biologists, physical scientists, engineers and computational biologists who study stress responses at the molecular, community and ecosystem levels.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求对2012年7月15日至20日在马萨诸塞州南部哈德利的霍利奥克山学院举行的2012年微生物压力响应戈登研究会议的部分支持。 2012年的微生物压力反应会议将为公开报告提供一个论坛，以研究如何研究各个微生物和微生物群落来应对压力的最新进展。传统上，这次每两年一次的会议吸引了使用遗传，细胞生物学，基因组和计算技术的生物学和物理科学家研究与医学，环境和生物技术相关的微生物以及模型生物体中的压力反应。 2012年的会议将整合会议，描述尖端，遗传，分子和计算方法，以从单一微生物到社区的压力反应。我们计划强调新方法在2012年会议上剖析压力反应的影响。例如，2012年的会议是研究人员使用高通量测序和基因组技术之间进行深入对话的理想场所，以研究社区和科学家分析纯文化和模型生物体的科学家中的微生物应力反应。我们预计这种对话将使所有参与者受益，为分析复杂微生物群落的研究人员提供基本的生物学见解，并告知科学家研究纯文化的进步，这些进步来自深层阶段和其他高吞吐量技术的医学，环境和生物技术学意义。我们预测，会议将提高对生物，技术和计算问题的理解，促进科学讨论，并促进研究人员在不同时间，生物和社区规模的压力反应的研究人员之间进行的新合作。通过许多标准，这次会议非常成功，传统上有一个有兴趣的与会者的等待名单。由于社区的兴趣，在戈登研究会议场地举行了微生物压力反应会议，该会议的设施约为175，可容纳约60张学生，DOS DOC和其他研究人员的海报。它足够大，可以包括各种各样的受众，但规模和长度可以使与会者之间进行深入讨论和相当大的互动。会议组织者致力于继续这次会议的参与者多样性的传统，并将努力识别和包括妇女，代表性不足的团体成员和初级科学家作为演讲者或参与者。 公共卫生相关性：压力反应对细菌的生长，有益的微生物宿主相互作用以及病原体以殖民宿主，启动毒力计划和抵抗抗菌治疗至关重要。在这次会议上提出的新结果将有助于社区了解压力反应如何控制有益和致病性微生物的活动，并制定改善人类健康的策略。 NIH资金将有助于支持人口统计学多样的生物学家，物理科学家，工程师和计算生物学家的参与，他们研究了分子，社区和生态系统水平的压力反应。
