题目：会议：第八届鸟类内分泌学国际研讨会，斯科茨代尔，亚利桑那州，2004年6月6日-11日pi: Carol M Vleck，机构：爱荷华州立大学该提案是由美国国家科学基金会申请的12,000美元，用于支持最多30名来自美国机构的研究生和近期博士后参加会议的费用。国际鸟类内分泌学研讨会（ISAE）自1977年以来大约每四年举行一次。会议的目的是回顾鸟类内分泌学领域，并将来自多个分支学科的科学家聚集在一起进行信息交流和合作发展。第八届ISAE将于2004年6月在亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔市举行，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年来的第一次。因此，它提供了一个千载难逢的机会，让美国学生和应届毕业生与来自世界各地的同事接触。信息交流将在全体讲座、特邀专题讨论会、海报会议以及在用餐、社交活动和安排的实地考察会议期间进行非正式交流。预计将有来自20多个国家的与会者。在会议的基础上，研讨会将促进新信息的交流，促进许多合作的国际项目，并将为有前途的年轻学生和博士后研究人员创造充分参与这一国际会议的机会。它还将为美国学生和博士后提供相互交流和合作的机会，并与来自世界各地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.
