DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The annual meeting of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) is the largest gathering in the world of clinical and basic scientists working in the renal field. Prior to each annual meeting the ASN sponsors an intensive basic science symposium whose topic, selected by the ASN's Basic Science Committee, reflects an area of investigation with major advances that impact the renal field. The conference is intended to foster new collaborations and promote applications of new technologies for studying the kidney. The 2010 symposium (to be held in Denver November 16-17, 2010) is entitled "The Cytoskeleton and Cell Motility". The symposium will feature 23 established investigators, most of them from outside the field of nephrology, who will speak on diverse aspects of the cytoskeleton and its role in cell migration, morphogenesis, and disease. The topics covered will include actin, myosin, microtubules, cilia, and associated proteins, structures, and signaling pathways. The cytoskeleton has been shown to play important roles in diverse aspects of kidney development and function. These include roles in podocytes and their slit diaphragms, in cilia structure and function, and in recovery from acute kidney injury. At this conference, ASN members and other interested participants will have the chance to interact with world leaders in the field and will be exposed to state-of-the-art research. The purpose of this grant application is to request funds for junior faculty, postdoctoral fellow, and graduate student travel awards so that members can attend this conference prior to the ASN annual meeting in Denver. ) PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The goal of this annual conference is to update Renal Community researchers in a field that is instrumental to advancing our understanding of kidney function and/or disease. The focus of this year's conference is the cytoskeleton and cell motility. As usual, the majority of the speakers for the two day conference are top scientists from outside the Renal Community, who were selected for their scientific contributions in their respective fields. In the past, conference participants have developed collaborative relationships with some of the speakers, which greatly facilitate advancing kidney research and the potential to develop therapies that can improve the health of the population.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国肾脏病学会（ASN）年会是世界上肾脏领域工作的临床和基础科学家最大的聚会。在每次年会之前，ASN 都会主办一次密集的基础科学研讨会，其主题由 ASN 基础科学委员会选择，反映影响肾脏领域重大进展的研究领域。此次会议旨在促进新的合作并促进肾脏研究新技术的应用。 2010年研讨会（将于2010年11月16日至17日在丹佛举行）题为“细胞骨架和细胞运动性”。此次研讨会将有 23 名知名研究人员参加，其中大多数来自肾病学领域以外的领域，他们将就细胞骨架的各个方面及其在细胞迁移、形态发生和疾病中的作用发表演讲。涵盖的主题将包括肌动蛋白、肌球蛋白、微管、纤毛以及相关的蛋白质、结构和信号通路。细胞骨架已被证明在肾脏发育和功能的各个方面发挥着重要作用。这些包括足细胞及其裂隙隔膜、纤毛结构和功能以及急性肾损伤恢复中的作用。在本次会议上，ASN 成员和其他感兴趣的参与者将有机会与该领域的世界领导者互动，并接触到最先进的研究。此拨款申请的目的是为初级教师、博士后研究员和研究生旅行奖励申请资金，以便成员能够在丹佛举行的 ASN 年会之前参加本次会议。 ） 公共卫生相关性：本次年度会议的目标是向肾脏界研究人员通报有助于增进我们对肾功能和/或疾病的理解的领域的最新情况。今年会议的焦点是细胞骨架和细胞运动。与往常一样，为期两天的会议的大多数发言者都是来自肾脏界以外的顶尖科学家，他们是因其在各自领域的科学贡献而被选中的。过去，会议参与者与一些演讲者建立了合作关系，这极大地促进了肾脏研究的进展以及开发可改善人群健康的疗法的潜力。
