DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting partial financial support to defray speaker travel expenses associated with the 14th meeting of the International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis (ISPD), to be held June 1-4, 2008 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The ISPD is a unique, multidisciplinary society that includes obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, clinical geneticists, laboratory-based geneticists, genetic counselors, fetal surgeons, researchers, social scientists, and ethicists who work within the discipline of prenatal diagnosis. The ISPD meets every 2 years in different locations. The 2008 Scientific Program includes 24 internationally renowned invited speakers, and 8 thought leaders who will debate 4 different timely topics within the field. Enthusiasm for the conference is evidenced by the fact that 100% of the invited speakers accepted the invitation to participate. In addition, oral and poster presentations will be accepted from submitted abstracts. Topics to be covered include state-of-the-art cytogenetic diagnostic techniques (array-comparative genomic hybridization, copy number variation), preimplantation genetic diagnosis, fetal imaging, placental function and fetal growth, twin-to-twin transfusion, effects of obesity and viral infection on birth defects, fetal cardiac therapy, population screening for single gene disorders, and cell-free nucleic acids in maternal blood. As a result of attending the ISPD conference participants will be exposed to a wide-range of timely topics that will directly affect their clinical practice and will create new research agendas. Exposure to the debate topics will inform participants regarding current areas of controversy. The multidisciplinary topics and varied backgrounds of the attendees will lead to lively scientific interchange and out-of-the box thinking. Project Narrative The goal of prenatal diagnosis is to provide pregnant woman and their partners with information that allows them to build healthy families. Prenatal diagnosis also allows an opportunity to provide fetal therapy. The goal of this conference is to inform and promote discussions between clinicians, scientists, non-physician health care providers, clinical laboratory directors, and social scientists regarding work in this discipline. As a result of the conference, participants will be able to identify limitations and gaps in current practice and knowledge and develop a research agenda going forward.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们请求部分财政支持，以支付与国际产前诊断学会（ISPD）第1 - 4次会议，将于2008年6月1日至4日在温哥华，不列颠哥伦比亚省，加拿大有关的演讲者旅费。ISPD是一个独特的多学科协会，包括产科医生，母胎医学专家，临床遗传学家，实验室遗传学家，遗传咨询师，胎儿外科医生，研究人员，社会科学家和伦理学家，他们在产前诊断领域工作。ISPD每两年在不同地点举行一次会议。2008年的科学计划包括24位国际知名的特邀演讲者和8位思想领袖，他们将在该领域内讨论4个不同的及时主题。100%的受邀演讲者接受了参加会议的邀请，这一事实证明了与会者的热情。此外，将接受提交的摘要中的口头和海报介绍。主题包括最先进的细胞遗传学诊断技术（阵列比较基因组杂交，拷贝数变异），植入前遗传学诊断，胎儿成像，胎盘功能和胎儿生长，双胞胎输血，肥胖和病毒感染对出生缺陷的影响，胎儿心脏治疗，单基因疾病的人群筛查，和母体血液中的无细胞核酸。作为参加ISPD会议的结果，与会者将接触到广泛的及时主题，这些主题将直接影响他们的临床实践，并将创建新的研究议程。接触辩论主题将使与会者了解当前的争议领域。与会者的多学科主题和不同背景将导致活跃的科学交流和开箱即用的思维。产前诊断的目的是为孕妇及其伴侣提供信息，使他们能够建立健康的家庭。产前诊断也为提供胎儿治疗提供了机会。本次会议的目标是告知和促进临床医生，科学家，非医生医疗保健提供者，临床实验室主任和社会科学家之间关于这一学科工作的讨论。作为会议的结果，与会者将能够确定目前的做法和知识的局限性和差距，并制定一个研究议程前进。
