# 2021 Chronobiology Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar

> **NIH NIH R13** · GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCES · 2021 · $25,000

## Abstract

We request partial support for the 22nd Chronobiology Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and the
accompanying 5th Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), which will be held Bates College in Lewiston, Maine
from
June 20-25th, 2021.
Any funds that we receive from the NIH will be used to support registration fees and/or
travel costs for half the speakers/session chairs at GRC and GRS with a particular focus on supporting the
younger researchers, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. The GRC/GRS meetings on Chronobiology
have a rich history of attracting a wide-range of researchers working at many different levels with diverse
methodologies and model organisms. The GRS will focus on training and mentorship, while the GRC will present
the latest unpublished work from both senior and emerging stars of the field. The sub-theme for the 2021
Chronobiology meeting is 'Inputs, circadian oscillators and outputs: From single cells to human health' to
emphasize the study of diverse organisms and the application of these insights in the clinic and workplace,
achieved with molecular, cellular, physiological and behavioral approaches. In metazoans, the master circadian
clock is in the brain, and chronic circadian disruption by modern lifestyles has important implications for human
behavior, metabolism and healthy aging, so the conference fits well within the mission of the NINDS. Speakers
and discussion leaders represent senior established figures and younger emerging stars of the field and have
been selected by consulting with an informal committee consisting of mid-career and junior figures in the field.
We are enriched for female speakers/session chairs with several underrepresented minorities as well as
representation from a range of nationalities, from the Americas, Europe and Far East to promote cultural, racial
and gender diversity. Apart from mentorship activities, the GRS will feature 10 trainee speakers, one of whom
will be promoted to give a short talk at the GRC along with 9 other younger scientists selected from abstracts,
providing a useful learning experience for the trainees and early career scientists.
