9631654 Jeffery Funds are requested for partial support of the expenses for invited plenary and minisymposium speakers, including junior scientists, and graduate and post-doctoral student speakers and poster presenters, for the 55th annual symposium of the Society for Developmental Biology. The meeting, entitled, "Patterning Mechanisms in Development", will be held May 30-June 4, 1996 at Vanderbilt University. The meeting is organized by William Jeffery, President of the SDB, and will be attended by a national group of researchers and teachers interested in the study of development, including graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The organizers expect that, as during the past eight years, the meeting will be of medium size (300-400 registrants), and they encourage junior level participation by providing financial support and the opportunity to present platform talks and poster presentations. The meeting will include a broad range of topics, considered to be new frontiers in pattern formation, continuing and building on the format that has evolved in the past four year. Plant and animal systems as well as different contemporary approaches will be represented. Particular emphasis will be on early developmental mechanisms, localization, cell signaling, morphogenesis, regeneration, organ formation, and the evolution of these developmental processes. They plan 53 invited scientific talks in seven plenary sessions and 4 minisymposia, the latter arranged in two sessions(two minisymposia running concurrently), and a keynote lecture. The plenary sessions and minisymposia will be chaired by experts in the area, and some talks will be given by junior scientists, thus providing them with an opportunity to speak a the national level. Contributed platform and poster sessions will also provide opportunities for graduate and postdoctoral students to present their work. The posters will be available for viewing during most of the meeting, providing ample time for discussion. Reflecting the growing role of the SDB in the affairs and concerns of its membership, this symposium will continue to feature issue oriented workshops on education and minority interests. ***

小行星9631654 要求提供资金，以部分支持受邀全体会议和小型对称演讲者的费用，包括初级科学家，研究生和博士后学生演讲者和海报展示者，参加发育生物学学会第55届年会。这次会议将于1996年5月30日至6月4日在范德比尔特大学举行。这次会议是由发展局局长威廉·杰弗里组织的，将有一个对发展研究感兴趣的全国研究人员和教师小组参加，其中包括研究生和博士后研究员。组织者预计，与过去八年一样，会议将是中等规模的会议（300-400名登记者），他们通过提供财政支持和举办平台讲座和海报展示的机会来鼓励初级参与。会议将包括一系列广泛的议题，这些议题被认为是模式形成方面的新领域，将延续和发展过去四年来演变的形式。植物和动物系统以及不同的当代方法将被代表。特别强调的是早期发育机制，定位，细胞信号，形态发生，再生，器官形成，以及这些发育过程的演变。他们计划在7个全体会议和4个minisymopsia中邀请53个科学讲座，后者安排在两个会议（两个minisymopsia同时运行）和一个主题演讲中。全体会议和小型专题讨论会将由该领域的专家主持，一些演讲将由年轻科学家主持，从而为他们提供在国家一级发言的机会。贡献的平台和海报会议也将为研究生和博士后学生提供展示他们工作的机会。这些海报将在会议的大部分时间内提供给与会者观看，以便有充足的时间进行讨论。为反映康体局在会员事务及关注事项方面的角色日益重要，研讨会将继续举办以教育及少数族裔权益为主题的工作坊。 ***
