2002 TERATOLOGY SOCIETY MEETING: TRAVEL SUPPORT

描述（由申请人提供） 本提案的目的是申请资金，以支持博士前和博士后学员参加畸形学会2002年会议的差旅费、注册费和旅馆费。 会议将于2002年6月22日至27日在亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔的斯科茨代尔费尔蒙公主酒店举行。 它将包括为期两天的机制，生物标志物，数据解释的继续教育课程：使用发育神经毒性作为模型的综合风险评估，然后是为期四天的会议，包括研讨会，研讨会，平台和海报会议。 鼓励和资助受训人员参加畸形学学会的会议，对科学讨论注入热情和新的想法至关重要。 此外，这些人将在鼓励分享信息和交流思想的环境中从世界级科学家的专业知识中受益匪浅。 主要会议的主题包括蛋白质组学在发育毒理学中的应用专题讨论会（Dimes研讨会3月），甲基汞：从水俣湾到当前的政策实施（公共事务研讨会）、儿童健康和环境化学品暴露：动物模型和临床研究风险预测（BTS/奥蒂斯/畸形学联合研讨会）和免疫毒理学：发育毒性研究的原则和应用（Wiley-Liss研讨会）。 特邀演讲者是根据他们的区别以及他们的工作对当前畸形学研究的重要性和相关性而选择的。 畸形学学会会议上的许多活动都侧重于学生的参与。 平台会议完全用于学生演讲，所有学生，包括获奖者，在会议期间的午餐会上受到表彰。 此外，学生事务委员会亦会举办学生招待会，鼓励参加者互相交流意见。 基金，以帮助支持和鼓励学生出席畸形学会2002年会议将提高会议的质量和学生与会者的经验。

DESCRIPTION ( provided by the applicant) The objective of this proposal is to request funds to support the travel, registration, and hotel expense of predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees to attend the Teratology Society 2002 meeting. This meeting will take place on June 22nd to June 27th, 2002 at the Scottsdale Fairmont Princess, Scottsdale, Arizona. It will consist of a two-day continuing education course on Mechanisms, Biomarkers, Data Interpretation: An Integrated Risk Assessment Using Developmental Neurotoxicty as a Model, followed by a four-day conference that includes symposia, workshops, platform and poster sessions. The encouragement and financial assistance of trainees to attend the Teratology Society meeting is vital for the infusion of enthusiasm and new ideas into scientific discussions. In addition, these individuals will benefit greatly from the expertise of world-class scientists in a setting that encourages sharing of information and exchange of ideas. The topis to be covered in the main conference include symposia on the application of proteomics to developmental toxicology (March of Dimes Symposium), Methylmercury: From Minamata Bay to Current Policy Implementation (Public Affairs Symposium), Children's Health and Environmental Chemical Exposues: Prediction of Risk from Animal Models and Clinical Studies BTS/OTIS/Teratology Joint Symposium), and Immunotoxicology: Principles and Applications to Developmental Toxicity Studies (The Wiley-Liss Symposium). Invited speakers are selected on their distinction and the importance and relevance of their work to current teratology research. Many events at the Teratology Society meeting focus on student participation. A platform session is devoted entirely to student presentations, and all students, including awardees, are honored at a luncheon during conference. In addition, a student reception is organized by the Student Affairs Committee to encourage exchange of ideas among student participants. Funds to help support and encourage student attendance at the Teratology Society 2002 meeting will enhance the quality of the meeting and the experience of the student attendees.
