DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Frontiers in Reproduction (FIR) is a 6 week long course held every summer at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole MA. FIR is a dynamic and evolving entity offering a series of daily lectures on cutting edge topics, followed by extensive discussions, laboratory research, workshops and informal seminars. FIR is directed toward beginning independent scientists, advanced postdoctoral fellows in the basic or clinical sciences, as well as graduate students who are committed to clinical and basic research careers in the Reproductive Sciences. FIR is directed by a Board of Scientific Counselors. The members of this board direct basic or translational research programs in the reproductive sciences and they represent the human reproduction subspecialties of Reproductive Endocrinology and Maternal-Fetal Medicine. The FIR course itself is organized by three course directors and divided into three sections. Section 1 covers signal transduction and gene expression in reproductive endocrinology. Section 2 covers gametogenesis and fertilization, and preimplantation and peri-implantation development. Section 3 covers mouse transgenesis, fertilization, implantation, and embryo-maternal interactions. The course directors and the participating faculty and lecturers are selected because of their leadership positions in the Reproductive Sciences. FIR ends with a 2 day symposium featuring lectures by two or three outstanding reproductive scientists followed by research presentations from all current students and selected alumni. The overall purpose of FIR is to train the next generation of reproductive scientists and to promote collaborations and mentorship among junior and senior reproductive scientists. FIR has now been continuously held for 9 years and all indications are that we have been successful in attaining these goals.

描述(由申请人提供)：生殖前沿(FIR)是一个为期6周的课程，每年夏天在马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的海洋生物实验室举行。FIR是一个充满活力和不断发展的实体，每天提供一系列关于前沿主题的讲座，随后是广泛的讨论、实验室研究、讲习班和非正式研讨会。FIR面向初级独立科学家、基础或临床科学高级博士后研究员，以及致力于生殖科学临床和基础研究事业的研究生。FIR由一个科学顾问委员会领导。该委员会的成员指导生殖科学的基础或转化研究项目，他们代表生殖内分泌学和母婴医学的人类生殖次级专业。FIR课程本身由三名课程主任组织，分为三个部分。第一节介绍生殖内分泌学中的信号转导和基因表达。第2节包括配子发生和受精，以及着床前和着床周发育。第三节介绍了小鼠的转基因、受精、植入和胚胎与母体的相互作用。课程主任和参与的教职员工和讲师是因为他们在生殖科学方面的领导地位而被挑选出来的。FIR以为期两天的研讨会结束，讲座由两到三位杰出的生殖科学家讲授，随后是所有在校学生和精选校友的研究报告。FIR的总体目的是培训下一代生殖科学家，并促进初级和高级生殖科学家之间的合作和指导。FIR现在已经连续举行了9年，所有迹象都表明我们已经成功地实现了这些目标。
