Increasing US Participation in the 5th Pharmacology, Biochemistry & Behavior International Meeting in Morzine, France

这次研讨会是药理学、生物化学和行为学第五届国际会议的一部分，该会议将于2004年1月4日至9日在法国莫辛举行。资助将使来自美国的受训人员和科学家能够最大限度地与对行为神经科学和神经内分泌学感兴趣的欧洲研究人员进行互动。该计划包括具有神经内分泌学、动物行为和发育生物学专业知识的参与者。研讨会将吸引资深和初级科学家参与讨论，重点是生殖行为和认知功能的药理学和生化。该项目的参与者包括本科生、研究生、博士后研究员和教职员工。研讨会将邀请与会者讨论大脑和行为之间的复杂关系。研讨会、海报演示、与教授共进午餐，以及组织关于国际研究机会的讨论，将鼓励学生、初级科学家和资深科学家之间的互动，这些都是国际公认的成就。组委会致力于培养青年科学家的发展。基金将帮助支付与会者出席会议的旅费和注册费。其影响将延伸到许多研究领域，如神经内分泌学、行为神经科学、动物行为学和种群生物学。获得旅行奖励的受训者将被要求在这次会议上评估他们的经验的有效性，然后这些数据将以摘要和海报形式发表，将在2004年神经科学学会会议的教育会议期间举行。

This symposium is part of the Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior 5th International meeting being held in Mozine, France in January 4-9, 2004. Funding will enable trainees and scientists from the United States to maximize their interactions with European investigators interested in Behavioral Neuroscience and Neuroendocrinology. The program includes participants with expertise in neuroendocrinology, animal behavior, and developmental biology. The symposium will engage both senior and junior ranked scientists in discussions focusing on the pharmacology and biochemistry of reproductive behavior and cognitive function. Participants in this program will include undergraduate students, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty. The symposium will engage participants in discussions regarding complex relationships between brain and behavior. Symposia, poster presentations, meet the professor lunches, and organized discussions on international research opportunities will encourage interactions between students, junior scientists, and senior scientists that are internationally recognized for their accomplishments. The organizing committee is committed to fostering the development of young scientists. Funds will help defray travel costs and registration fees for participants to attend the meeting. The impact of this will extend to numerous fields of study, such as neuroendocrinology, behavioral neuroscience, animal behavior, and population biology. Those trainees receiving travel awards will be asked to evaluate the effectiveness of their experience at this meeting and then these data will be published as an abstract and poster presentation that will take place during the education session at the 2004 Society for Neuroscience meeting.
