A direct and tangible contribution of any scientific discovery or science-education lies in the creation of a springboard to success for the future generation of scientists. A resilient principle of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN) is our commitment to trainees. We see our trainees as the future of the field and thus; recruiting and welcoming them into, encouraging their participation in, rewarding their input to, and nurturing their continued inclusion among the SBN are all inherently critical aspects of the SBN mission. The SBN Education Committee will use NSF funds to stimulate, maintain, nurture, and reward the participation of post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students at the 15th and 16th annual SBN meetings. In keeping with our commitment to recruit, retain, and reward trainees, funds will be used for: (1) Travel Awards. This allows trainees to present their work in a supportive environment and gain exposure to the breadth and depth of the field. (2) Career Development Workshops. Workshops are offered at each meeting to educate trainees on important career development topics and retain trainees in the sciences. (3) Mentor-Mentee Lunches. One-on-one discussions with senior mentors help trainees gain insight into the research enterprise, create new relationships, and find strong mentors. (4) Trainee Poster Competition. The competition an educational experience for all and it also provides an opportunity to encourage and reward success at each level, and, (5) the Young Investigator?s Symposium. Outstanding senior graduate students or post-docs are chosen to present talks in a dedicated symposium at the meeting. This format recognizes the accomplishments of such trainees, facilitates their movement into more advanced positions, and motivates younger scientists. The trainee events at the SBN meeting will play a key role in the attraction, retention, and reward of the brightest and best-trained transdisciplinary scientists.

任何科学发现或科学教育的直接和具体贡献在于为未来一代科学家创造成功的跳板。 行为神经内分泌学会（SBN）的一个弹性原则是我们对学员的承诺。 我们将受训人员视为该领域的未来，因此，招募和欢迎他们，鼓励他们参与，奖励他们的投入，并培养他们继续融入SBN，这些都是SBN使命的重要方面。SBN教育委员会将使用NSF的资金来刺激，维持，培养和奖励博士后研究员，研究生和本科生参加第15届和第16届SBN年会。为了履行我们招募、留住和奖励学员的承诺，资金将用于：（1）旅行奖励。这使学员能够在一个支持性的环境中展示他们的工作，并接触到该领域的广度和深度。(2)职业发展研讨会。每次会议都举办讲习班，就重要的职业发展专题对受训人员进行教育，并留住受训人员学习科学。(3)导师午餐。与资深导师一对一的讨论帮助学员深入了解研究企业，建立新的关系，并找到强大的导师。(4)学员海报比赛。比赛是所有人的教育经验，它也提供了一个机会，鼓励和奖励在每个级别的成功，和，（5）青年研究员？s专题讨论会。优秀的高年级研究生或博士后被选中在会议的专门研讨会上发表演讲。这种形式承认这些受训人员的成就，促进他们进入更高级的职位，并激励年轻的科学家。 SBN会议上的实习生活动将在吸引、留住和奖励最聪明、受过最好训练的跨学科科学家方面发挥关键作用。
