DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): Funds are requested for partial support of the Annual Meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology for the next five years (2009-2013). The Society has organized the major meeting in developmental biology for the past 70 years (missing two during World War II). And in the last decade, the meeting size has nearly doubled both in attendance (623 to 1,289) and abstract submission (433 to 768). There is long-term interest in this subject, which is a central biological problem, as well as increasing public interest in issues such as cloning and stem cells. This highlights the importance of the subject both in terms of scientific advancement and in public education. The SDB is the largest society devoted to this field, with over 2,200 members worldwide, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and established investigators, many of whom hold NIH grants. The proposed meetings will continue the tradition of mixing poster presentations, plenary sessions, concurrent symposia, workshops on new technologies and current issues, a postdoctoral symposium, and an education symposium. In all sessions, a special effort is made to have a diversity of speakers in terms of model organisms, experimental approaches, career stages, gender, as well as racial/ethnic background. The education symposium has a significant impact on teaching at major universities and small colleges, as well as for outreach to the pre-college and lay populations. It also addresses bioethics of research, which is highly relevant to establishing national policies for research on stem cells and cloning, as well as public understanding of science (and evolution). The next meeting, to be held in San Francisco, will celebrate the 70th anniversary of founding of the Society and 50 years of publication of the official journal, Developmental Biology. As such, sessions highlighting history and breakthroughs will be included in the program, as well as Evolution of Developmental Regulatory Systems, History of Developmental Biology, Germ and Embryonic Stem Cells, Developmental Neurobiology, Development and Tissue Engineering, Neural and Tissue-specific Stem Cells, Pattern Formation, Evolution of Complex Body Plans, Epigenetic Influences on Development, as well as Organ Development and Mechanisms of Developmental Patterning. This meeting will be followed by gatherings in the Mountain region, Central region, and the East coast, as rotation throughout the various regions eases the travel burden for those with lower budgets. Efforts will be made to keep the tradition of using university campuses as venue for they are more economical and the collegial atmosphere is one that the members cherish, although the number of campuses able to host the growing group is now much smaller. PROJECT NARRATIVE: These long-running annual meetings (the 68th in 2009) of the Society for Developmental Biology are the major gathering in the field where researchers in all stages of their careers and working on various organisms using different approaches present and learn about the latest findings. The meetings also provide a forum for sound, evidence-based discussions of advances in developmental biology and related areas as applied to medicine, agriculture, and national science policy.

描述（由申请人提供）： 请求资金用于未来五年（2009-2013）发育生物学学会年会的部分支持。 过去 70 年来，该学会一直组织发育生物学领域的重要会议（二战期间错过了两次）。 在过去十年中，会议的出席人数（623 人增加到 1,289 人）和摘要提交人数（433 人增加到 768 人）几乎翻了一番。 人们对这一核心生物学问题有着长期的兴趣，并且公众对克隆和干细胞等问题的兴趣也与日俱增。 这凸显了该学科在科学进步和公共教育方面的重要性。 SDB 是该领域最大的协会，在全球拥有 2,200 多名会员，其中包括研究生、博士后研究员和知名研究人员，其中许多人拥有 NIH 资助。 拟议的会议将延续混合海报展示、全体会议、同期研讨会、新技术和当前问题研讨会、博士后研讨会和教育研讨会的传统。 在所有会议中，我们都特别努力让发言人在模型生物、实验方法、职业阶段、性别以及种族/民族背景方面具有多样性。 教育研讨会对主要大学和小型学院的教学以及对大学预科生和非专业人士的宣传产生了重大影响。 它还涉及研究的生物伦理学，这与制定干细胞和克隆研究的国家政策以及公众对科学（和进化）的理解高度相关。 下一次会议将在旧金山举行，庆祝该学会成立 70 周年和官方期刊《发育生物学》出版 50 周年。 因此，该计划将包括强调历史和突破的会议，以及发育调节系统的进化、发育生物学的历史、生殖和胚胎干细胞、发育神经生物学、发育和组织工程、神经和组织特异性干细胞、模式形成、复杂身体计划的进化、表观遗传对发育的影响，以及器官发育和发育模式的机制。 这次会议之后将在山区、中部地区和东海岸举行聚会，因为在各个地区轮流举行可以减轻预算较低的人的旅行负担。 我们将努力保持使用大学校园作为场所的传统，因为大学校园更经济，而且学院的氛围是会员们所珍惜的，尽管现在能够容纳不断壮大的团体的校园数量要少得多。 项目叙述：发育生物学学会的这些长期年会（2009 年第 68 届）是该领域的主要聚会，处于职业生涯各个阶段并使用不同方法研究各种生物体的研究人员都会出席并了解最新发现。 这些会议还提供了一个论坛，就发育生物学和相关领域应用于医学、农业和国家科学政策的进展进行合理、基于证据的讨论。
