Student and Postdoctoral Travel Awards for the 2006 Meeting

描述(由申请人提供)：畸形学学会年会为学生和博士后研究员提供了一个论坛，让他们展示自己的研究成果，并与各自领域的一些顶尖科学家互动。该协会高度重视教育和培训，努力促进培训是调查人员战略目标的一部分。年会是这些努力的一个主要渠道。这种环境鼓励开放的思想交流和实验性的发现。2006年年会将于2006年6月24日至29日在亚利桑那州图森市举行。会议计划包括关于该领域当前主题的研讨会演讲，以及为学生和博士后研究员提交的演示文稿的海报和平台会议，旨在向与会者通报出生缺陷研究的最新进展。 学生和博士后研究员是畸形学学会的未来，也是我们科学家社区培育的科学努力的未来。旅行奖励帮助这些学生和博士后研究员抵消参加畸形病学会年会的经济负担。如果没有这种援助，许多人将无法利用在这次科学会议上产生的丰富的科学信息和新思想交流。在这项提案中，研究人员要求提供资金来支付部分旅行奖金，这些奖金将授予在2006年畸形病学会年会上展示他们的研究成果的学生和博士后研究员

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Teratology Society's Annual Meeting provides a forum for students and postdoctoral fellows to present their research and interact with some of the leading scientists in their field. The Society places a high priority on education and training and efforts to foster training are part of the investigators' strategic goals. The Annual Meeting is a major port of these efforts. This setting encourages an open exchange of ideas and experimental finding. The 2006 Annual Meeting will be held in Tucson, Arizona from June 24-29, 2006. The meeting program consists of symposium talks on current topics within the field, and poster and platform sessions for student and postdoctoral fellow submitted presentations, designed to inform attendees about the latest advances in birth defects research. The students and postdoctoral fellows are the future of both the Teratology Society and the science endeavors fostered by our community of scientists. Travel awards assist these students and postdoctoral fellows offset the financial burden of attending the Teratology Society Annual Meeting. Without this assistance many would not be able to take advantage of the rich exchange of scientific information and new ideas generated at this scientific meeting. In this proposal, the investigators are requesting funds to defray part of the cost of travel awards, which will be granted to students and postdoctoral fellows presenting their research finding at the 2006 Teratology Society Annual Meeting
