Tri-Institutional Symposium on Reproductive Biology & Infertility (Tri-Repro)

生殖健康不仅对物种的生育和繁殖至关重要，而且也是许多关键因素的基础。 人类健康和长寿的参数。因此，我们对糖尿病的遗传和分子基础的理解 生殖中的关键事件对于我们提高生殖健康、生育力和生理能力至关重要 我们人类的福祉。因此，当前R13会议提案的主要目标是提供一个小的 当地为期两天的年度会议，重点是生殖生物学和不孕不育。这一事件发生在 由康奈尔大学生殖基因组学中心(CRG)和 宾夕法尼亚大学生殖与妇女健康研究中心 组成三方小组的两个，第三个是生殖遗传和治疗中心(CRG&T) 在匹兹堡大学的Magee-女性研究所(MWRI)。康奈尔大学和MWRI组织 2018年发起了联合研讨会，两年多来，这些研讨会取得了巨大成功。在包含了 在宾夕法尼亚大学，我们将这个一年一度的为期两天的研讨会更名为三机构生殖研讨会 生物学与不孕不育，或三次生殖。Tri-RePro的第二个目标是通过以下方式关注实习生的职业发展 鼓励学员的参与和领导力，并强调学员之间的互动 通过成立一个由三个机构组成的学员组织委员会。学员将选出最多七名受邀学员 演讲者包括来自世界各地的生殖科学领域的知名领导人，但也包括新的 来自这三个机构的教职员工。研讨会的地点每年都会轮换，提供了一个 在地理位置上，但也令人鼓舞的重点变化，反映了每个中心的不同利益。大部分 讲座和所有的海报都将以见习演讲者为特色，由委员会从提交的 摘要，而第一天的职业发展午餐论坛将邀请演讲者讨论具体的 所有受训人员的职业发展领域。Tri-RePro的第三个目标是提供一个当地环境来 促进本地化互动和联网，目的是在世界各地的机构之间建立新的合作 东北方向。这是我们之前座谈会最成功的部分：邀请我们的邻居 宾客机构以非常低的成本加入我们(Tri-ReproGroup为我们的客人提供所有注册和食物， 使他们只需支付适中的旅行和住宿费用)，我们提供了一个丰富的环境， 邻近在生殖科学方面有兴趣和专业知识的机构可以聚集在一起讨论 协作的想法，并相互提供反馈。这样的环境往往更舒适， 比大型国家会议更亲密，让即使是最胆小的受训人员也能与同行和 教职员工也一样。Tri-RePro的第四个目标是倡导包容和积极参与妇女和 来自我们领域中代表性不足的群体的人，这一特征一直是我们以前的主要关注焦点 研讨会，我们将在今后的活动中继续将其列为优先事项。

Reproductive health is not only critical for fertility and propagation of the species, but also underlies many key parameters of human health and longevity. As such, our understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of key events in reproduction is critical for our ability to improve reproductive health, fertility, and the physiological well-being of our species. Thus, the primary goal of the current R13 Conference Proposal is to provide a small local two-day annual conference focusing on reproductive biology and infertility. This event has emerged out of similar long-standing symposia held by Cornell University’s Center for Reproductive Genomics (CRG) and by the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Research in Reproduction and Women’s Health (CRRWH), which make up two of the tripartite group, the third being the Center for Reproductive Genetics and Therapy (CRG&T) at Magee-Womens Research Institute (MWRI) at the University of Pittsburgh. The Cornell and MWRI groups initiated combined symposia in 2018, and over two years, these have been hugely successful. With the inclusion of UPenn, we have renamed this annual two-day symposium Tri-Institutional Symposium on Reproductive Biology & Infertility, or Tri-Repro. The second goal of Tri-Repro is to focus on trainee career development by encouraging participation and leadership from our trainees, and by emphasizing trainee peer-to-peer interactions through the formation of a tri-institutional Trainee Organizing Committee. Trainees will select up to seven invited speakers, including renowned leaders in reproductive science from around the world, but also including new faculty from each of the three institutions. The venue for the symposium will rotate each year, providing a shift in location, but also encouraging changes in emphasis reflecting the varying interests of each Center. Most of the talks, and all of the posters, will feature trainee presenters selected by the committee from submitted abstracts, while a career development lunch forum on day 1 will feature invited speakers who will discuss specific areas of career development for all trainees. The third goal of Tri-Repro is to provide a local environment to promote localized interactions and networking with an aim to forge new collaborations between institutions in the Northeast. This has been the most successful component of our previous symposia: by inviting our neighboring guest institutions to join us at very low cost (the Tri-Repro group provides all registration and food to our guests, leaving them with only modest travel and accommodation costs to cover), we provide a rich environment in which neighboring institutions with interests and expertise in reproductive sciences can come together to discuss collaborative ideas and provide feedback to each other. Such an environment is often more comfortable and intimate than large national conferences, allowing even the most timid of trainees to interact with peers and faculty alike. The fourth goal of Tri-Repro is to champion the inclusion and active participation of women and people from underrepresented groups in our field, a feature that has been a major focus of our previous symposia, and which we will continue to prioritize at future events.
