Funds are requested for partial support of the Annual Meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology over the next two years (1999-2000). The Society has sponsored this annual meeting for 57 years (only missing two years during WW II), reflecting the long-term interest in this topic, as well as SDB's commitment to keep up the scientific quality of the meeting. In the last few years the meeting and its importance in the community has grown so that last year's meeting in Stanford attracted more than 800 people. The upcoming 58th Annual meeting will be held at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville from June 13-18, 1999. We expect 600-800 registrants to attend and have the opportunity to hear the latest work from international leaders, as well as from younger scientist who are making exciting contributions to the field. Fifty-five invited speakers will speak on topics including Morphogenesis and Cell Fate, Signals that Organize the Body Plan, Evolution of the Body Plan, Genetics and Development, Gametogenesis and Germ Line Development, The Cell Biology of Development, Cell Lineage and Cell Polarity, Wiring the Nervous System and Embryonic Patterning. An additional 30 speakers will be chosen from submitted abstracts, allowing the inclusion of the most up-to-the-minute results and providing the opportunity for postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to talk about their work. The afternoons will be devoted to poster sessions and workshops. A special education symposium will address issues for teachers and for those interested in presenting science to the broader community. In all the scientific sessions work on diverse organisms including invertebrates, vertebrates and plants will be presented. We expect to continue to emphasize the best science, to bring together senior and junior investigators interested in developmental biology and to provide the forum for exchange of ideas on science, education and on the role of science in the society.

要求在今后两年（1999-2000年）为发育生物学学会年会提供部分资金支持。该协会已经举办了57年的年度会议（仅在第二次世界大战期间缺席了两年），这反映了对该主题的长期兴趣，以及SDB对保持会议科学质量的承诺。在过去的几年里，会议及其在社区中的重要性越来越大，以至于去年在斯坦福举行的会议吸引了800多人。即将到来的第58届年会将于1999年6月13日至18日在夏洛茨维尔的弗吉尼亚大学举行。我们预计将有600-800名注册人参加，并有机会听取国际领导人以及为该领域做出令人兴奋贡献的年轻科学家的最新工作。55位受邀演讲人将会就以下主题发表演讲：形态发生和细胞命运、组织身体计划的信号、身体计划的进化、遗传学和发育、配子发生和生殖系发育、发育的细胞生物学、细胞谱系和细胞极性、神经系统的连接和胚胎模式。另外30位演讲者将从提交的摘要中选择，允许包括最新的结果，并为博士后和研究生提供讨论他们工作的机会。下午将专门用于海报会议和研讨会。一个特殊的教育研讨会将为教师和那些有兴趣向更广泛的社区介绍科学的人讨论问题。在所有的科学会议上，将介绍包括无脊椎动物、脊椎动物和植物在内的各种生物的工作。我们希望继续强调最好的科学，将对发育生物学感兴趣的高级和初级研究人员聚集在一起，并提供关于科学、教育和科学在社会中的作用的思想交流的论坛。
