摘要标题：会议：2004年6月6日至11日，第八届鸟类内分泌学国际研讨会，斯科茨代尔，亚利桑那州。PI：卡罗尔M Vleck，机构：爱荷华州州立大学。国际禽类内分泌学研讨会（International Symposium on Avian Endocrinology，ISAE）自1977年以来每四年举办一次。会议的目的是提供一个审查领域的鸟类内分泌学，并把科学家从多个子学科一起进行信息交流和合作的发展。第八届ISAE将于2004年6月在亚利桑那州的斯科茨代尔举行，由亚利桑那州立大学主办。这是该会议第二次在美国举行，也是20年来的首次。因此，它提供了一个黄金机会，让美国学生和应届毕业生与来自地球仪各地的同事接触。信息将在全体讲座，邀请研讨会会谈，海报会议和非正式的用餐，社交活动和安排实地考察的会议中间一天交换。预计将有来自20多个国家的与会者参加。在会议的基础上，研讨会将促进新信息的交流，促进许多国际合作项目，并为有前途的青年学生和博士后研究人员充分参与这一国际会议创造机会。它还将为美国学生和博士后提供相互交流和合作的机会，并与来自地球仪的研究人员进行合作。

AbstractTitle: CONFERENCE: Eighth International Symposium on Avian Endocrinology, Scottsdale, AZ June 6-11, 2004PI: Carol M Vleck, Institution: Iowa State UniversityThis proposal is a request for $12,000 from the NSF to support participant costs for up to 30 participating graduate students and recent postdocs from US institutions to attend. The International Symposium on Avian Endocrinology (ISAE) has been held approximately every four years since 1977. The objective of the conference is to provide a review of the field of avian endocrinology and to bring scientists from multiple sub-disciplines together for information exchange and the development of collaborations. The 8th ISAE will be held in June, 2004 in Scottsdale, Arizona and will be hosted by Arizona State University. This is only the second time the meeting has been held in the United States and the first time in 20 years. As such, it provides a golden opportunity to engage US students and recent graduates with colleagues from across the globe. Information will be exchanged in plenary lectures, invited symposium talks, poster sessions and informally during meals, social events and the mid-conference day of arranged field trips. Participants from more than 20 countries are expected. Based on conferences, the Symposium will foster the exchange of new information and facilitate many cooperative, international projects and will create opportunities for promising young students and postdoctoral researchers to participate fully in this international conference. It will also provide US students and postdocs with the opportunity to interact and form collaborations with each other and with researchers from across the globe.
