 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for partial support for an international meeting on Ion Channels, as part of the Gordon Research Conference series, to be held at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, July 10 - 15, 2016. The long-term goal of this conference is to increase understanding of the fundamental structure, function and physiological roles of ion channels and how these functions are disrupted in human disease. The specific aim of this meeting will be to convene 40 speakers and discussion leaders who represent critical areas of ion channel research together with 160 participants-at-large for a maximum of 200 participants for a five-day meeting in a relatively secluded setting. The program will consist of nine sessions in which invited speakers and speakers chosen from the participants-at-large will present their latest, unpublished, research, with ample time for discussion of the results. In addition, four poster sessions will permit all participants to presen their own work. The significance of this meeting is that is has been for many years, and remains, the premier meeting for scientists interested in fundamental mechanisms of ion channel structure and function. The small size and intensive discussions engendered by the Ion Channels GRC make it uniquely important for the catalysis of new ideas, directions and collaboration among the participants. Ion channels play a critical role in establishing the electrical excitability of membranes and their dysfunction underlies a large variety of disorders, from congenital hearing loss, to epilepsy and heart disease. Thus information disseminated through this meeting has the potential to be of wide relevance to all areas of human health.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：作为戈登研究会议系列的一部分，该提案是为在2016年7月10日至15日在马萨诸塞州南部哈德利的霍利奥克山学院举行的一部分，以部分支持离子渠道的国际会议。这次会议的长期目标是增加对这些职能的基本结构，功能和物理角色的理解。这次会议的具体目的是召集40名演讲者和讨论领袖，他们代表离子渠道研究的关键领域，其中160名参与者在相对僻静的环境中最多有200名参与者参加为期五天的会议。该计划将包括9次会议，其中从参与者中选出的邀请的演讲者和演讲者将介绍他们的最新，未出版的研究，并充分讨论结果。此外，四个海报会议将使所有参与者都可以展示自己的作品。这次会议的重要性是多年来一直存在的，并且仍然是对离子渠道结构和功能基本机制感兴趣的科学家的首要会议。离子频道进行的小规模和密集讨论GRC对参与者之间的新思想，方向和协作的催化至关重要。离子通道在建立机制的电气刺激性方面起着至关重要的作用，其功能障碍是各种各样的疾病，从先天性听力损失到癫痫和心脏病。通过这次会议传播的信息有可能与人类健康的所有领域具有广泛的相关性。
