Developmental biology is one of the most exciting areas of modern biology. This award will help fund the 2008 Santa Cruz Developmental Biology (SCDB) Meeting. SCDB meetings are international in scope but are also highly accessible to junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. The 2008 Meeting will be organized around the theme "Transitions in Development". The meeting will have 49 platform speakers, of which 21 will be chosen from abstracts submitted to the meeting organizers, allowing postdocs and graduate students ample opportunity to present their own data. Two poster sessions allow all other attendees to present their work. The 2008 SCDB Meeting will have a significant positive impact on the field of developmental biology, educating the ~200 participants in the latest advances in this exciting area, disseminating the results in a meeting report in a leading journal in the field, and fostering training for scientists in the early stages of their careers. Efforts will be made to attract a group of participants that represents the diversity of the field in organism studied and approach used that is balanced in gender, and that increases participation by underrepresented minorities. This award will help achieve this goal, by providing meeting associated registration and housing costs for eight graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, selected to increase the diversity of the participants, as well as registration and housing costs for four junior faculty members who will present talks.

发育生物学是现代生物学最令人兴奋的领域之一。该奖项将资助2008年圣克鲁斯发育生物学（SCDB）会议。SCDB会议的范围是国际性的，但也非常容易接触到初级教师，博士后研究员和研究生。2008年会议将围绕“发展中的过渡”这一主题举行。会议将有49名平台发言人，其中21人将从提交给会议组织者的摘要中选出，让博士后和研究生有充分的机会展示自己的数据。 两个海报会议允许所有其他与会者介绍他们的工作。2008年SCDB会议将对发育生物学领域产生重大的积极影响，教育约200名参与者了解这一令人兴奋的领域的最新进展，在该领域的领先期刊上发布会议报告，并促进科学家在职业生涯早期阶段的培训。将努力吸引一批代表所研究的生物体和所用方法的多样性的参与者，这些参与者在性别上是平衡的，并增加了代表性不足的少数群体的参与。该奖项将有助于实现这一目标，通过为八名研究生和博士后研究员提供会议相关的注册和住宿费用，以增加参与者的多样性，以及为四名将出席会谈的初级教师提供注册和住宿费用。
