DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Partial support is requested for the 16th Gordon Research Conference on Chronobiology, to be held on July 19-24, 2009 at Salve Regina University, Newport, Rhode Island. The significance of circadian clocks in regulating temporal physiology has become increasingly clear and as a result, much effort has been devoted to the analysis of the mechanisms underlying circadian processes. Recognition of the key role played by circadian rhythms in human health and disease, combined with recent landmark discoveries regarding the molecular mechanisms that both generate and regulate the circadian system, has led to a remarkable expansion of the field. Today, chronobiological research attracts a host of researchers from a broad range of disciplines, including neuroscience, molecular genetics, photobiology, computational biology, and metabolism, as well as sleep medicine, psychiatry, and oncology. The aims of the Gordon Conference on Chronobiology are: 1) To provide a forum for discussion and for identifying general principles in the rapidly expanding field of chronobiology. 2) To stimulate interactions among researchers working in the various sub-disciplines of chronobiology and thus enhance the coherence of the research field as a whole. 3) To intensify interactions between young and established researchers, and thus sustain high-quality chronobiological research. 4) To promote both national and international collaboration by bringing together scientists from many different research groups and countries. 5) To promote translational research by bringing together investigators employing model organisms with those studying human subjects in circadian research. The conference will achieve these goals by assembling approximately 150 scientists encompassing individuals from different countries, age groups, genders, and using different research models. The program will focus on new and emerging developments in key research areas (see Tentative Program). In accordance with the highly successful Gordon Conference format, lectures will be presented in 8 morning and evening sessions with ample time for discussion. Four poster sessions will allow participants to present additional data. Special attention has been given to achieving gender balance (see discussion leaders) and to including experts from very diverse disciplines to achieve a broadly-based understanding of the frontier of our science and insights as to future opportunities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Partial support is requested for the 16th Gordon Research Conference on Chronobiology, to be held on July 19th-July 24th, 2009, at Salve Regina University, Newport, Rhode Island. Conference objectives are to bring together a diverse group of leading researchers for a program focused on new and emerging developments in key research areas, in order to increase interactions, promote collaboration, and promote translational research. Outcomes will have health relevance for ameliorating dysfunctions that manifest as sleep, affective, cognitive, neurological, metabolic, endocrine and oncological disorders and occupational health.

描述（由申请人提供）：将于2009年7月19日至24日在罗德岛州纽波特的Salve Regina University举行的第16届戈登计时生物学研究会议要求部分支持。昼夜节律时钟在调节时间生理学方面的重要性已经变得越来越清晰，因此，大量精力致力于分析昼夜节律过程的机制。认识到昼夜节律在人类健康和疾病中所扮演的关键作用，再加上最近关于产生和调节昼夜节律系统的分子机制的地标发现，导致了该领域的显着扩展。如今，时间生物学研究吸引了来自广泛学科的许多研究人员，包括神经科学，分子遗传学，光生物学，计算生物学和代谢，以及睡眠医学，精神病学和肿瘤学。 Gordon Chronobiology会议的目的是：1）提供一个论坛进行讨论，并在迅速扩展的年代生物学领域中确定一般原则。 2）刺激在计时生物学的各个子学科中工作的研究人员之间的相互作用，从而增强了整个研究领域的连贯性。 3）加强年轻和成熟研究人员之间的相互作用，从而维持高质量的时间生物学研究。 4）通过将许多不同研究小组和国家的科学家聚集在一起来促进国家和国际合作。 5）通过将使用模型生物的研究人员与昼夜节律研究中的人类受试者一起使用模型生物的研究人员聚集在一起来促进转化研究。该会议将通过组装大约150名科学家来实现这些目标，包括来自不同国家，年龄段，性别和使用不同研究模型的个人。该计划将重点介绍关键研究领域的新发展和新兴发展（请参阅初步计划）。根据非常成功的戈登会议格式，讲座将在8点和晚上的会议上进行，并有充足的讨论时间。四个海报会议将使参与者能够提供其他数据。特别关注实现性别平衡（请参阅讨论领导者），并包括来自非常多样化学科的专家，以对我们的科学领域和对未来机会的见解有了广泛的理解。 公共卫生相关性：将于2009年7月19日至7月24日在罗德岛州纽波特的Salve Regina University举行的第16届Gordon Chronobiology研究会议要求部分支持。会议目标是将一群领先的研究人员汇集在一起​​，以一项针对关键研究领域的新和新兴发展的计划，以增加互动，促进协作并促进翻译研究。结局将具有改善睡眠，情感，认知，神经系统，代谢，内分泌和肿瘤学和职业健康的功能障碍的健康相关性。
