American Society of Andrology Annual Meeting

项目摘要 美国男科学会（阿萨）是一个全球性的多学科专业学会，致力于 男性健康科学它成立于1975年，拥有来自不同领域的约565名成员， 专业，研究兴趣和组织。我们的成员包括男性生殖生物学， 遗传学、内分泌学、泌尿学、妇产科、生物化学、兽医学、分子和细胞 生物学和生殖技术。大约10%的成员是受训人员，即学生、居民和 伙计们我们的总体目标是通过会议推进基础，转化和临床男科学的研究 既能激发智力又能获得专业回报。我们的年会反映了我们的实力， 会员资格由于规模可控，兴趣多样，会议是一个丰富的思想市场， 讨论、合作以及培训和就业机会。科学的创新来自于 以新的方式将概念和方法结合在一起。我们的会议提供了这些互动。一个充满活力 多样化的生物医学劳动力来自于让学生和实习生接触研究人员做切割- 边缘研究我们的会议提供了这些介绍。作为科学家，我们不仅产生数据， 下一代在这次会议申请中，我们寻求额外五年的培训生旅行资金 为阿萨年会颁奖。我们的具体目标已经更新，但类似于 上一个融资期。目标1：提供涵盖最新概念的杰出科学计划， 在男科的进展，与临床，翻译和基础科学演示的适当平衡。 目标2：吸引来自利益相关者的多元化与会者，包括所有职业领域的专业人士 阶段，妇女，少数民族和残疾人。目标3：建立一个论坛， 基础科学家和临床医生之间的合作。目标4：提供职业发展机会 并在所有专业阶段取得进步。我们预计，由于正在举行的年度会议， 与会者将学习新的发现，以应用于自己的研究和/或实践。与会者将深入听取 在自己的具体领域进行更新。他们还将能够了解各领域的进展和争议 在他们自己之外。男科学和相关领域将受益于新思想的产生， 建立新的专业联系。

Project Summary The American Society of Andrology (ASA) is a global, multidisciplinary professional society dedicated to the science of men’s health. Founded in 1975, it has approximately 565 members from a wide range of professions, research interests, and organizations. Our membership encompasses male reproductive biology, genetics, endocrinology, urology, gynecology/obstetrics, biochemistry, veterinary science, molecular & cell biology, and reproductive technologies. Roughly 10% of the members are trainees, i.e. students, residents and fellows. Our overall goal is to advance research in basic, translational and clinical Andrology through a meeting that is intellectually stimulating and professionally rewarding. Our annual meeting reflects the strength of our membership. With its manageable size and diversity of interests, the meeting is a rich marketplace of ideas, discussions, collaborations, and opportunities for training and employment. Innovation in science comes from bringing concepts and approaches together in new ways. Our meeting provides these interactions. A vibrant and diverse biomedical workforce comes from exposing students and trainees to investigators doing cutting- edge research. Our meeting provides these introductions. As scientists, we produce not only data, but also our next generation. In this conference application, we seek an additional five years of funding for trainee travel awards for the Annual Meeting of the ASA. Our specific Aims have been updated but are similar to the previous funding period. Aim 1: To deliver an outstanding scientific program covering the latest concepts and progress in andrology, with an appropriate balance of clinical, translational, and basic scientific presentations. Aim 2: To attract a diverse group of attendees from stakeholders with inclusion of professionals at all career stages, women, minorities, and people with disabilities. Aim 3: To create a forum to establish research collaborations between basic scientists and clinicians. Aim 4: To provide opportunities for career enhancement and advancement at all professional stages. We anticipate that as a result of the ongoing Annual Meeting, attendees will learn new findings to apply in their own research and/or practice. Participants will hear in depth updates in their own specific areas. They will also be able to learn about advances and controversies in fields outside their own. Andrology and related fields will benefit from the generation of new ideas and from the formation of new professional contacts.
