DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the Society for Gynecologic investigation (SGI) is to stimulate, encourage, assist and conduct original research in reproductive biology, and to provide opportunities for investigators in obstetrics and gynecology (Ob/Gyn). SGI is unique in that it draws basic, translational and clinical investigators from all the Ob/Gyn subspecialties as well as departments of reproductive and developmental biology. The society's mission has never been more important since half of university-based departments of Ob/Gyn have no NIH funding and there has been an actual decline in NIH grant [application] submissions by Ob/Gyn physicians over the past 10 years. Most ominous has been the decline in U.S. medical student applications for Ob/Gyn residencies and the number of residents choosing subspecialty fellowships. The goal of this application is to enhance the scientific and didactic content of the SGI annual meeting, to provide increased access to the SGI's Annual Meeting for young physicians and scientists in training, and to more widely publicize and disseminate the Annual Meeting's content. To meet these goals the following are proposed: 1) Enhancement of the Annual Meeting through recruitment of international faculty of the highest intellectual merit for program planning meetings, postgraduate courses, mini-symposia and formal lectureships; 2) Financial support for the maximal participation of junior investigators, especially those from underrepresented groups; 3) Wider dissemination of the Annual Meeting's academic content with proceedings available on-line and on CD-ROM. It is hoped that this initiative will stimulate greater interest in Ob/Gyn research by those early in their careers, and will enhance the scientific exchange and collaboration of more senior investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）：妇科调查协会 (SGI) 的使命是促进、鼓励、协助和开展生殖生物学的原创性研究，并为妇产科 (Ob/Gyn) 的研究人员提供机会。 SGI 的独特之处在于它吸引了来自所有妇产科亚专业以及生殖和发育生物学部门的基础、转化和临床研究人员。该协会的使命从未如此重要，因为一半的大学妇产科部门没有 NIH 的资助，而且在过去 10 年里，妇产科医师提交的 NIH 拨款[申请]实际上有所下降。最不祥的是美国医学生申请妇产科住院医生的数量以及选择专科奖学金的住院医生数量的下降。该应用程序的目标是增强SGI年会的科学和教学内容，为接受培训的年轻医生和科学家提供更多参加SGI年会的机会，并更广泛地宣传和传播年会的内容。为了实现这些目标，建议如下： 1) 通过聘请具有最高智力水平的国际教员来举办项目规划会议、研究生课程、小型研讨会和正式讲座，以加强年会； 2）为初级研究者，特别是来自代表性不足群体的初级研究者的最大程度参与提供财政支持； 3) 通过在线和光盘形式提供会议记录，更广泛地传播年会的学术内容。 希望这一举措能够激发职业生涯早期人员对妇产科研究的更大兴趣，并加强更多高级研究人员的科学交流与合作。
