项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal aims to continue and expand on the very successful LIPID MAPS Annual Meetings by holding a series of annual "Impact of Lipidomics" scientific conferences in 2014, 2015, and 2016 focused on lipidomics and its biomedical applications. Following on numerous initiatives in genomics and proteomics, the NIGMS sponsored LIPID MAPS was the world's first major lipidomics initiative. It pursued a mandate to proactively share its data, methods, tools and other resources with the entire research community since its inception in 2003. One of its most successful outreach mechanisms has been its public Annual Meetings - the fourth held this past May, 2012. The field has seen considerable growth since the word "lipidomics" was first used in scientific publications and grant applications in 2002. The total number of NIH-funded projects passed 130 in 2012, and the total number of lipidomic(s) publications has grown to over 700. The LIPID MAPS initiative which ends in July 2013, and cannot be renewed, has already generated several hundred publications. The science of lipidomics uses a systems biology approach and sophisticated mass spectrometers to identify and quantify the lipid species in cells and tissues and to quantify the changes in these species in response to perturbations or disease. Its ultimate goal is to better understand the fundamental biological processes of lipid metabolism at the molecular level, the active role lipids play in the wide range of lipid-based diseases and to facilitate development of more effective pharmacological intervention and treatments. The overall goal of the series is to motivate and facilitate advances in the lipidomics field while extending the applications of lipidomics to new areas of cell biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and biomedicine. The main objectives are to: 1) disseminate new findings, methodologies, and tools; 2) facilitate and stimulate scientific discussion, networking and collaboration; 3) encourage professional development of newer scientists and scientists from underrepresented groups; and 4) transition the conference series to a business model that requires little or no support from NIH. The organizing committee, comprised of experienced leaders from key disciplines in this multidisciplinary field, will choose meeting topics, themes and speakers, which will evolve with the dynamic and burgeoning field, and will strategize about how to encourage attendance by scientists from a wide range of biomedical fields who could benefit from understanding how lipidomics research could be applied to their research. We will continue the open, collaborative and stimulating atmosphere of past LIPID MAPS Annual Meetings in order to maximize the ability of scientists at all levels, from diverse fields, and fro different institutions, companies and countries, to interact as productively as possible, resulting in scientific advances and increased collaborative efforts. It is important to note that this is th only regular annual meeting in the world that focuses on lipidomics. Funds from this proposal will be used to provide travel funds for speakers, to subsidize student and postdoctoral attendees, and fund special administrative evaluation and website promotion (IT) support related to outreach.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案旨在通过在 2014 年、2015 年和 2016 年举办一系列年度“脂质组学影响”科学会议，重点关注脂质组学及其生物医学应用，继续并扩大非常成功的 LIPID MAPS 年会。继基因组学和蛋白质组学领域的众多举措之后，NIGMS 赞助的 LIPID MAPS 是世界上第一个主要的脂质组学举措。自 2003 年成立以来，它的使命是主动与整个研究界共享其数据、方法、工具和其他资源。其最成功的外展机制之一是其公开年会 - 第四次年会于 2012 年 5 月举行。自 2002 年“脂质组学”一词首次在科学出版物和资助申请中使用以来，该领域取得了长足的发展。2012 年，NIH 资助的项目总数超过 130 个，脂质组学出版物总数已增至 700 多种。脂质组学出版物总数已增长至 700 多种。脂质组学出版物数量已于 2013 年 7 月结束且无法更新，已产生数百种出版物。脂质组学使用系统生物学方法和复杂的质谱仪来识别和量化细胞和组织中的脂质种类，并量化这些种类因扰动或疾病而发生的变化。其最终目标是在分子水平上更好地了解脂质代谢的基本生物学过程、脂质在广泛的脂质疾病中所发挥的积极作用，并促进开发更有效的药物干预和治疗。该系列的总体目标是激励和促进脂质组学领域的进步，同时将脂质组学的应用扩展到细胞生物学、生物化学、药理学和生物医学的新领域。主要目标是：1）传播新的发现、方法和工具； 2）促进和刺激科学讨论、网络和合作； 3）鼓励新科学家和代表性不足群体科学家的专业发展； 4）将会议系列转变为几乎不需要或不需要 NIH 支持的商业模式。组委会由来自这一多学科领域关键学科的经验丰富的领导者组成，将选择会议主题、主题和演讲者，这些主题将随着这个充满活力和新兴领域的发展而发展，并将制定如何鼓励来自广泛领域的科学家参加的战略。生物医学领域的人可以从了解如何将脂质组学研究应用于他们的研究中受益。我们将延续往届 LIPID MAPS 年会的开放、协作和激励氛围，以最大限度地发挥来自不同领域、不同机构、公司和国家的各级科学家的能力，尽可能富有成效地进行互动，从而科学进步和加强合作努力。值得注意的是，这是世界上唯一一次专注于脂质组学的定期年会。该提案的资金将用于为演讲者提供差旅费、补贴学生和博士后参加者，并资助与外展相关的特别行政评估和网站推广 (IT) 支持。
