DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This conference grant application requests funds to partially support the "4th International Conference on Primate Genomics." The conference will be hosted by the Washington National Primate Research Center and held April 13-16, 2010 at the Seattle Art Museum in downtown Seattle, Washington. The museum has state-of- the-art conference facilities, including a 293-seat auditorium and private meeting rooms for poster and vendor exhibits. This application seeks funding to cover the costs associated with the rental of this facility. Additional funding for running the conference will come from registration fees paid by conference participants and we are actively seeking sponsorship from foundations and commercial institutions (including pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies). The principal objective of this conference is to serve as a scientific forum at which investigators in the fields of nonhuman primate research, genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics can discuss new research findings and technological innovations related to the use of genome-based science in nonhuman primate research. The conference will include a focus on genomic and proteomic resource development, advances in computational biology and bioinformatics, and new developments in comparative genomics and evolutionary biology. The 2010 conference will also highlight research activities in which genomics and nonhuman primate models are being used to better understand human disease. The scientific program will be organized by a Scientific Program Committee of local and nonlocal members, all leaders in their fields of expertise. Committee members will select invited speakers and session chairs and will review abstracts submitted by conference registrants for oral and poster presentations. Recent advances in the field, including the sequencing of the rhesus macaque genome, the development of macaque-specific DNA microarrays, and new opportunities for nonhuman primate proteomics make this conference particularly timely and significant. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by the applicant): The "4th International Conference on Primate Genomics" serves as a forum at which scientists can discuss new research findings related to the use of new technologies, genome sequence information, and nonhuman primate models of human health and disease. The conference highlights research activities aimed at understanding, preventing, and treating conditions such as viral hepatitis, AIDS, memory loss, drug addiction, and age-related disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：本会议赠款申请要求资金部分支持“第四届国际灵长类动物基因组学会议”。该会议将由华盛顿国家灵长类动物研究中心主办，并于2010年4月13日至16日在华盛顿西雅图市中心的西雅图艺术博物馆举行。博物馆设有最先进的会议设施，其中包括293个座位的礼堂和海报和供应商展览的私人会议室。该申请寻求资金来支付与该设施租金相关的费用。参加会议的额外资金将来自会议参与者支付的注册费，我们正在积极寻求基金会和商业机构（包括药品和生物技术公司）的赞助。这次会议的主要目的是作为一个科学论坛，在该论坛上，非人类灵长类动物研究，基因组学，蛋白质组学和生物信息学领域的研究人员可以讨论与基于基因组科学在非人类灵长类动物研究中使用有关的新研究发现和技术创新。该会议将关注基因组和蛋白质组学资源发展，计算生物学和生物信息学的进步以及比较基因组学和进化生物学的新发展。 2010年的会议还将强调研究活动，其中基因组学和非人类灵长类动物模型被用来更好地了解人类疾病。科学计划将由一个科学计划委员会组织，由本地和非本地成员组成，所有领导者的专业知识领域。委员会成员将选择受邀的演讲者和会议主席，并将审查会议注册人提交的口头和海报演示的摘要。该领域的最新进展，包括恒河猴猕猴基因组的测序，猕猴特异性DNA微阵列的发展以及非人类灵长类动物蛋白质组学的新机会，使这次会议变得特别及时且具有重要意义。 公共卫生相关性（申请人提供）：“第四届灵长类动物基因组学国际会议”是一个论坛，科学家可以在其中讨论与使用新技术，基因组序列信息以及人类健康和疾病的非人类灵长类动物模型有关的新研究结果。该会议重点介绍了旨在理解，预防和治疗病毒性肝炎，艾滋病，记忆力丧失，吸毒和与年龄有关的疾病等疾病的研究活动。
