PROJECT SUMMARYFunds are requested for partial support of the 64th Annual Meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology, to be held July 27 - August 1, 2005 at Hyatt Regency, San Francisco, CA. The Society has organized the major meeting in developmental biology for the past 66 years, missing only two during World War II. The meeting size has more than quadrupled in the past ten years (from less than 300 in 1993 to just under 1,300 in 2003) and abstract submissions have done just as well (from less than 200 to almost 800). 1. What is the intellectual merit of the proposed activity? Participants will be presenting their latest data, many yet to be published, contributing to advancement of knowledge in the field. As it has become a successful tradition, the scientific sessions in platform and poster formats encompass work on diverse organisms including plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. All the invited speakers listed in the preliminary program have accepted the invitation to tell us about some of their most exciting findings in the following areas: Fundamental problems in developmental biology, Cell in development and heredity, On growth and form, Ontogeny and phylogeny, Chromatin and development, Egg polarity, Signaling: From individual regulators to networks, Stem cells, Gradients in space and time, Metazoan evolution, RNA and development, Vertebrate organogenesis. About 30 additional speakers will be chosen from submitted abstracts for short talks, allowing the inclusion of the latest results and providing an opportunity for postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to address a large audience, as priority will be given to junior investigators. Educational workshops addressing Concepts in Developmental Biology, The road to the professoriate: Getting a job and writing a dynamite grant and Dev Bio 2010, and workshops on Optics technology and Omics technology complete the program. 2. What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity? Besides dissemination of new scientific findings in the field, meeting participants will have ample opportunity to discuss during the education workshops, and maybe come to a consensus, about what the basic and most important concepts in developmental biology are. This should serve as a guideline for those of us who want to teach the subject effectively but are undecided as to what needs to be taught within the standard semester course period without getting lost in the explosion of new information, or selectively choosing topics related to our own research. The organizers expect an attendance of over 1,000 people, and most of them will present their new data in the dedicated poster sessions each day. These social hours around the posters will provide a forum to bring together junior and senior investigators and to allow them to exchange ideas on science, education and the role of science in today's society. Travel awards will be available to bring underrepresented minorities, students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty at primarily undergraduate institutions, and Latin American faculty and students to attend the meeting.

项目摘要 请求资金为发育生物学学会第 64 届年会提供部分支持，该年会将于 2005 年 7 月 27 日至 8 月 1 日在加利福尼亚州旧金山凯悦酒店举行。过去 66 年来，该学会一直组织发育生物学领域的重要会议，仅在二战期间缺席了两次。过去十年中，会议规模增加了四倍多（从 1993 年的不到 300 人到 2003 年的近 1,300 人），摘要提交的数量也同样如此（从不到 200 人到近 800 人）。 1. 拟议活动的智力价值是什么？参与者将展示他们的最新数据，其中许多数据尚未发布，为该领域知识的进步做出贡献。由于它已成为一种成功的传统，平台和海报形式的科学会议涵盖了对植物、无脊椎动物和脊椎动物等多种生物体的研究。初步计划中列出的所有受邀演讲者均已接受邀请，向我们介绍他们在以下领域的一些最令人兴奋的发现：发育生物学的基本问题、发育和遗传中的细胞、生长和形态、个体发育和系统发育、染色质和发育、卵极性、信号传导：从个体调节器到网络、干细胞、空间和时间梯度、后生动物进化、RNA和发育、脊椎动物 器官发生。将从提交的摘要中另外选出约 30 名演讲者进行简短的演讲，以便纳入最新成果，并为博士后研究员和研究生提供向广大观众演讲的机会，因为初级研究人员将被优先考虑。围绕发育生物学概念、教授之路：找到工作并撰写炸药资助和 Dev Bio 2010 的教育研讨会，以及光学技术和组学技术研讨会完成了该计划。 2. 拟议活动的更广泛影响是什么？除了传播该领域的新科学发现外，会议参与者还将有充足的机会在教育研讨会上讨论，并可能就发育生物学的基本和最重要的概念是什么达成共识。对于我们这些想要有效教授该学科但尚未决定在标准学期课程期间需要教授哪些内容而又不会迷失在新信息爆炸中或有选择地选择与我们自己的研究相关的主题的人来说，这应该成为指导方针。组织者预计将有超过 1,000 人参加，其中大多数人将在每天的专门海报会议上展示他们的新数据。这些围绕海报的社交时间将为初级和高级研究人员提供一个论坛，让他们能够就科学、教育和科学在当今社会中的作用交换想法。将提供旅行奖励，以吸引代表性不足的少数族裔、学生、博士后研究员、本科院校的教职人员以及拉丁美洲的教职员工和学生参加会议。
