# Zebrafish Development and Genetics Conference

> **NIH NIH R13** · UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON · 2020 · $13,794

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
We propose a series of three biennial conferences discussing progress made using
zebrafish as a model organism to study vertebrate development and disease. These
conferences, to be held in June of 2018, 2020, and 2022, will be the 13th, 14th and
15th meetings in a successful series initiated in 1994 and supported by this grant
since 2000. The goal of this meeting is to facilitate communication of cutting-edge
research studies on an array of topics to a wide cross-section of the zebrafish
research community.
The International Conference on Zebrafish Development and Genetics provides an
opportunity for zebrafish researchers to share their most recent discoveries and new
technologies. Speakers are selected from the submitted abstracts by the organizers
and session chairs, based on impact and novelty with a strong emphasis on
unpublished data. Thus the Conference has historically had a major “slingshot”
effect on the field, every two years launching a new era of research and discovery.
Continuing in the tradition of previous conferences, we expect that the proposed
conferences will succeed in creating opportunities for sharing results and
technologies, forging collaborations, coordinating community resources, and fostering
the exposure and success of junior investigators and trainees.
The Conference has historically drawn zebrafish researchers of both genders in
approximately equal proportions, at a wide range of career levels with strong
representation of students, post-docs, and both junior and senior faculty. This grant
will support the registration and accommodation of two invited keynote speakers, 22
invited session chairs, and 25 platform presenters selected from the abstracts. These
25 recipients of financial support will be chosen based on the impact and originality
of their abstracts as well as on the basis of gender, race, career stage and need.
