DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The objective of this proposal is to request funds to support the travel, registration, and hotel expenses of 15 predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the 2004 Teratology Society Annual Meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada. This meeting will take place on June 26 to July I, 2004 at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver. It will consist of a two-day education course on signaling pathways and tissue interactions in organ-system development, followed by a five-day conference that includes various 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 greatly benefit from interaction with leading scientists in birth defects research, in a setting that encourages open exchange of ideas and experimental findings. Symposium topics for the main conference include: RNA interference (RNAi) approaches to the study of normal and abnormal development (March of Dimes Symposium); birth defects and other adverse pregnancy, outcomes due to maternal obesity (Public Affairs Symposium); and neural crest cells in normal and abnormal development (The Wiley-Liss Symposium). Four concurrent mini-symposia will cover: Neurobehavioral outcomes of common exposures; toxicokinetics and metabolism; perinatal epidemiology-spontaneous abortion; and computational systems biology and implications for developmental toxicology. Special workshops will cover: maternal-fetal medicine and teratogen updates on alcohol, pesticides, anticonvulsants, DES, trichloroethylene, and trimethoprin. Invited speakers are selected on their distinction and the importance and relevance of their work to current research in developmental biology and birth defects/developmental disabilities. Many events at the Teratology Society meeting focus on student-fellow participation. A plenary session is devoted entirely to presentations by these trainees, and all trainees, including awardees, will be honored at a luncheon during the conference. In addition, a student reception organized by the Student Affairs Committee encourages exchange of ideas and networking among trainee participants. Funds to help support and encourage student-fellow attendance at the Teratology Society 2004 meeting will enhance the quality of the meeting and the experience of the student attendees.

描述（由申请人提供） 本提案的目的是申请资金，以支持15名博士前学生和博士后研究员参加2004年畸形学会议的旅费、注册费和旅馆费。 学会年会在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行。 本次会议将于6月26日举行 2004年7月1日在温哥华凯悦酒店。 它将包括为期两天的关于器官系统发育中信号通路和组织相互作用的教育课程，然后是为期五天的会议，包括各种研讨会，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，这些人将大大受益于与出生缺陷研究领域的领先科学家的互动，在鼓励开放交流思想和实验发现的环境中。主要会议的研讨会主题包括：RNA干扰（RNAi）方法研究正常和异常发育（March of Dimes Symposium）;出生缺陷和其他不良妊娠，由于母亲肥胖的结果（公共事务研讨会）;和正常和异常发育的神经嵴细胞（Wiley-Liss Symposium）。 四个并行的小型研讨会将涵盖：常见暴露的神经行为结果;毒理学和代谢;围产期流行病学-自然流产;和计算系统生物学和发育毒理学的影响。 特别讲习班将包括：关于酒精、杀虫剂、抗惊厥药、己烯雌酚、三氯乙烯和甲氧苄氨嘧啶的母胎药和致畸剂的最新资料。特邀演讲者是根据他们的区别以及他们的工作对发育生物学和出生缺陷/发育障碍的当前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集中在学生的参与上。 全体会议完全用于这些学员的演讲，所有学员，包括获奖者，将在会议期间的午餐会上受到表彰。 此外，由学生事务委员会组织的学生招待会鼓励学员之间的思想交流和网络。 基金，以帮助支持和鼓励学生研究员出席畸形学会2004年会议将提高会议的质量和学生与会者的经验。
