DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested to provide partial support for the Biology of Aging Gordon Research Conference (GRC) ;"Aging: Evolution to Intervention" to be held at Clarion Ventura Beach Hotel, Ventura, CA, Mar 9-14, 2003. The conference will be organized by the elected Co-Chairs Drs. John Tower, Eugenia Wang, and Rudy Tanzi. The overall aim of this conference is to bring together leading gerontologists in the fields of molecular biology, genetics and physiology to promote a synergistic discourse and exchange on the mechanisms of aging. State-of-the-art sessions are scheduled in several of the critical areas of experimental gerontology. Session topics include: Evolution of aging, Insulin-like signaling and life span, Mitochondria and oxidative stress, Aging diseases and healthspan, Stem cells and tissue repair, Genomic instability and aging, and Hormonal control of aging. Each session is designed to integrate model systems with studies of human health. The title of this meeting, "Aging: Evolution to Intervention" refers to two themes that reach through each session. The first is the study of aging from an evolutionary standpoint. Significant advances have been made in our understanding of life span as an evolved life history trait and this understanding has guided and informed analysis of the genetics, molecular biology and physiology of aging. Second, the field as a whole is rapidly evolving from one of primarily correlative studies to one focused on experimental and medical interventions into the aging process. Funds are requested to provide reimbursement for the conference fees and travel expenses of approximately 46 speakers plus the Conference Co-Chairs. In addition, funds are requested to support the expenses of approximately 10 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and new, junior faculty who would benefit from and contribute to the conference. Significant funding is also provided by the Gordon Research Conference Organization, and additional funds are being solicited from private foundations and industry.

描述（由申请人提供）：请求资金为衰老生物学戈登研究会议 (GRC) 提供部分支持；“衰老：从进化到干预”将于 3 月 9 日至 14 日在加利福尼亚州文图拉 Clarion Ventura 海滩酒店举行，2003 年。会议将由当选的联合主席 Drs. 组织。约翰·托尔、尤金妮亚·王和鲁迪·坦齐。本次会议的总体目标是汇集分子生物学、遗传学和生理学领域的领先老年学家，促进关于衰老机制的协同讨论和交流。在实验老年学的几个关键领域安排了最先进的会议。会议主题包括：衰老的演变、类胰岛素信号传导和寿命、线粒体和氧化应激、衰老疾病和健康寿命、干细胞和组织修复、基因组不稳定性和衰老以及衰老的激素控制。每场会议都旨在将模型系统与人类健康研究相结合。本次会议的标题“老龄化：从演变到干预”指的是贯穿每场会议的两个主题。第一个是从进化的角度研究衰老。我们对寿命作为一种进化的生命史特征的理解已经取得了重大进展，这种理解指导并指导了对衰老的遗传学、分子生物学和生理学的分析。其次，整个领域正在迅速从主要的相关研究之一发展为专注于衰老过程的实验和医学干预的研究。 需要资金报销约 46 名发言者以及会议联合主席的会议费用和差旅费。此外，还请求资金支持大约 10 名研究生、博士后研究员和新的初级教师的费用，他们将从会议中受益并做出贡献。戈登研究会议组织也提供了大量资金，并且正在向私人基金会和行业筹集额外资金。
