Reproductive Sciences Symposium

描述（由申请人提供）：社会的研究生殖（SSR）举行了年度科学会议，超过1000名科学家和学员参加了来自美国。S.等国会议的目标是介绍生殖科学的最新研究成果，为科学对话和受训人员的专业发展提供最佳环境。这一申请是对2003年会议和随后至2007年的会议的部分支助的竞争性延续。2003年会议将于7月19日至22日在俄亥俄州辛辛那提的希尔顿酒店、千禧酒店和萨宾会议中心举行，由辛辛那提大学和辛辛那提动物园主办。特别要求提供差旅、登记和会议费用方面的支助：（a）主旨发言人;（B）一名主席专题讨论会发言人;（c）两名最新技术发言人;（d）15名非安全部门改革成员的Minisymopsia发言人;（e）免除安全部门改革成员Minisymopsia发言人登记费的资金。还要求为30名有文件证明需要但没有国家登记局支助的受训人员提供旅费补助。2003年的会议将包括各种各样的研究课题，这些课题的选择将吸引生殖科学领域的广大科学家。伦敦帝国理工学院医学院的罗伯特·温斯顿将作主旨发言。他将就辅助生殖技术的现状、益处和风险问题发表讲话。总统专题讨论会的题目是“生殖与环境。“Sally Perreault和Louis Guillette将就环境污染物对人类生殖健康和动物种群生殖生物学的影响发表讲话。最先进的讲座将由S.K.戴伊关于胚胎植入的演讲，作为对布鲁斯莫尔顿的纪念，保罗·萨松-科西和贝尼塔·卡泽尼伦伯根关于表观遗传学主题的演讲。15个Minisymopsia，每个有三个发言者（共45个发言者），将举行当前感兴趣的主题，科学家在生物医学，临床，动物科学，野生动物保护和环境部门。口头平台讲座（168）和海报（~430或更多）将突出学员和其他人的个人研究贡献。受训人员还担任平台各届会议的共同主席。为鼓励代表人数不足的少数群体参加会议的所有方面作出了具体努力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR) holds an annual scientific meeting attended by over 1000 scientists and trainees from the U. S. and other countries. The goals of the meeting are the presentation of state of the art research in reproductive sciences, and providing an optimal environment for scientific dialogue, and for professional development of Trainees. This application is a competing renewal for partial support for the 2003 meeting and the ensuing meetings through 2007. The 2003 meeting will be held in Cincinnati, OH (July 19- 22), at the Hilton Netherland Plaza and Millennium Hotels and Sabin Convention Center and will be hosted by the University of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Zoo. Support is requested specifically for travel, registration and meeting expenses: a) Keynote speaker; b) one President's Symposium speaker; c) two State-of-the-Art speakers; d) fifteen Minisymposia speakers, who are not SSR members; and e) funds for waiver of registration fee for Minisymposia speakers who are members of SSR. Support is requested also for travel awards for 30 Trainees with documented need and who are not supported by a NRSA. The 2003 meeting will consist of a rich diversity of research topics selected to appeal to a wide range of scientists in the reproductive sciences. The Keynote address will be given by Robert Winston of the London Imperial College School of Medicine. He will speak on the current status of Assisted Reproductive Technology, the benefits and concerns for risk. The President's Symposium is entitled, "Reproduction and the Environment." Sally Perreault and Louis Guillette will speak on the impact of environmental contaminants on human reproductive health and on the reproductive biology of animal populations. State-of-the-Art lectures will feature a lecture by S.K. Dey on implantation as a memorial to Bruce Moulton and lectures by Paolo Sassone-Corsi and by Benita Katzenellenbogen on the theme of epigenetics. Fifteen Minisymposia, each featuring three speakers (total of 45 speakers), will be held on subjects of current interest to scientists in biomedical, clinical, animal science, wildlife preservation, and environmental sectors. Oral Platform talks (168) and Posters (~430 or more) will highlight individual research contributions by Trainees and others. Trainees also serve as Co-Chairs of Platform sessions. Specific efforts are made to encourage the participation of under-represented minorities in all aspects of the meeting.
