Request for Approval under the “Conference, Meeting, Workshop, and Poster Session Registration Generic Clearance (OD)”

(OMB#: 0925-0740 Exp Date: 09/30/2025)

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Understanding the Role of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) in Cancer Biology (NCI)

PURPOSE:

The meeting aims to illustrate how technological advancements enlighten cell biological investigations of IDPs. It brings together experts in biophysical approaches to investigate the structural properties of IDPs with researchers focused on cell biological processes that involve phenomena regulated by IDPs and intrinsically disordered regions embedded within structured proteins. The dysregulation of IDPs has been connected to many human diseases, including cancer, and invited speakers will highlight novel technologies to study IDPs, as well as the connections between molecular mechanisms of IDP-mediated processes and physiological and pathophysiological phenotypes. Based on the workshop, new research opportunities and cross-disciplinary collaborations may arise to accelerate progress in the field.
