DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Annual Society for Male Reproduction and Urology (SMRU) Traveling Award Program is held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). The primary objectives of the SMRU Traveling Scholar Award Program, which was initiated in 1998, are: (1) to stimulate the scientific interests of residents and fellows in the study of male reproductive medicine by providing a structured didactic program of education within the framework of the ASRM Annual Meeting; and (2) to permit interactions with reproductive endocrinologists to help define the role of the male infertility specialist in the era of assisted reproduction. This Program provides formal lectures and peer-interaction with senior members in the field who will tailor their presentations to the level of physicians and basic science researchers-in-training. The scientific need for the program stems from the lack of basic introductory level lectures at Annual Meetings. Seven physicians and basic science researchers in training will present abstracts at a podium or poster session. Starting in 2003, the five awardees with top scoring abstracts will present their work in a special concurrent podium session devoted to this Program. Participants will attend the one-day post-graduate course organized by the SMRU, a roundtable luncheon, SMRU workshops, podium, and poster sessions. Formal breakfast expert seminars will highlight new and important clinical and basic research findings. The broad topics likely to be addressed in these expert lectures include: 1) the evaluation and treatment of the infertile male; 2) effects of environmental agents on reproductive health; 3) erectile dysfunction: etiology, diagnosis, and treatment, 4) the needs of the aging male; and 5) advances in male contraception. The traveling award recipients will be sent selected readings, a lecture outline, and questions for post-lecture discussion (prepared by each presenter) in advance of the meeting to enhance the interactions. Ample time will be allotted at the end of each lecture for questions and answers, to promote further interaction between the speakers and traveling award recipients. Experience indicates that this Program has encouraged many recipients to pursue clinical/basic science careers, with many already active in academic positions around the world, thus serving a critical need. Without this exposure, many of them would have likely pursued different career paths.

描述（由申请人提供）：男性生殖和泌尿学（SMRU）年度社会旅行奖计划与美国生殖医学学会（ASRM）年会一起举行。SMRU旅行学者奖励计划于1998年启动，其主要目标是：（1）通过在ASRM年会的框架内提供结构化的教育教学计划，激发住院医师和研究员对男性生殖医学研究的科学兴趣;和（2）允许与生殖内分泌学家互动，以帮助确定男性不育专家在辅助生殖时代的作用。该计划提供正式的讲座和同行互动，与该领域的高级成员谁将定制他们的演讲，以医生和基础科学研究人员在培训的水平。对该计划的科学需求源于年会上缺乏基本的入门级讲座。七位医生和基础科学研究人员将在讲台或海报会议上发表摘要。 从2003年开始，五位获得最高分摘要的获奖者将在一个专门讨论该计划的特别会议上介绍他们的工作。 与会者将参加由SMRU组织的为期一天的研究生课程，圆桌午餐会，SMRU研讨会，讲台和海报会议。正式的早餐专家研讨会将突出新的和重要的临床和基础研究结果。在这些专家讲座中可能涉及的广泛主题包括：1）不育男性的评估和治疗; 2）环境因素对生殖健康的影响; 3）勃起功能障碍：病因，诊断和治疗; 4）老年男性的需求;和5）男性避孕的进展。在会议开始前，我们会给旅行奖获得者发送精选的阅读材料、演讲大纲和课后讨论的问题（由每位演讲者准备），以加强互动。每次讲座结束时将分配充足的时间进行问答，以促进演讲者和旅行获奖者之间的进一步互动。经验表明，该计划鼓励许多受助人从事临床/基础科学职业，其中许多人已经活跃在世界各地的学术职位上，从而满足了迫切的需求。如果没有这种接触，他们中的许多人可能会追求不同的职业道路。
