DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a request for partial funding to support the fifth annual meeting of the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences (OSSD), to be held June 2 - 4, 2011 in Oklahoma City, OK. OSSD is a scientific membership society established in 2006, in partnership with the Society for Women's Health Research (SWHR). The mission of OSSD is to enhance the knowledge of the biological basis of sex/gender differences in health and disease by facilitating interdisciplinary communication and collaboration among scientists and clinicians from diverse scientific and professional backgrounds. The primary goal of the OSSD annual meeting is to provide a forum for scientists to explore aspects of sex differences research at the genetic, molecular, cellular, organ, and systems levels in humans and model systems. The annual meeting consists of a Keynote opening lecture, a closing Capstone lecture, seven independent symposia, and a New Investigator Symposium. The symposia topics for the 2011 meeting include Behavior, Brain Function and Growth: Lessons from Disorders of Sex Development; Milestones in the Development of Sex Differences in the Biological Actions of Drugs of Abuse; Gender and Sex Differences in Integrated Renal and Cardiovascular Disease; The Impact of Sex, Gender and Hormones on Immune Responses to Vaccines; Sex Differences in Respiratory Function: from Basic Science to Clinical Application; Sex Differences in Peripheral Influences on Cardiovascular Control; and Sex Differences in Neuroimmune Responses and the Risk of Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases. The OSSD Programs Committee selected the symposia topics from among proposals submitted by the OSSD membership. Proposals were selected on the basis of scientific merit, relevance of the subject matter to the overall goals and rotation of topics of interest to OSSD members, and inclusion of basic and clinical speakers. Twenty-seven speakers have accepted the invitation to present their work at the meeting. In addition to the keynote lectures and symposia, there are two poster sessions scheduled, which will be arranged around topics covered in these symposia and will highlight the work of new investigators and trainees. The size (~150 people) and the organization of this meeting provide an excellent opportunity for networking opportunities and interactive discussions. Based on attendance at the previous four annual meetings we expect approximately two thirds of the participants to be established investigators and a third to be new investigators. Funds are requested to support the travel and lodging costs for the Keynote and Capstone speakers, registration fees for invited speakers, audiovisual equipment and meeting room rental costs, and support for junior investigator travel and awards. The annual meeting program, including speaker and poster abstracts will be made freely available on the OSSD website (www.ossdweb.org). We will partner with the University of Oklahoma to organize this event and are requesting support from pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, as well as from private foundations such as the Children's Medical Research Foundation of Oklahoma. We anticipate being able to secure several sources of funding for this conference. Approval for Continuing Medical Education credits has been received for this meeting. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This proposal is a request for support of the fifth annual meeting of the OSSD (Organization for the Study of Sex Differences) to be held June 2 - 4, 2011 in Oklahoma City, OK. OSSD is a scientific membership society with the mission to enhance the knowledge of sex/gender differences in human health and disease by facilitating interdisciplinary communication and collaboration among scientists and clinicians from diverse backgrounds.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是一份部分资金申请，以支持将于2011年6月2日至4日在俄克拉荷马州俄克拉荷马州市举行的性别差异研究组织（OSSD）第五届年会。OSSD是一个科学会员制协会，成立于2006年，与妇女健康研究协会（SWHR）合作。OSSD的使命是通过促进来自不同科学和专业背景的科学家和临床医生之间的跨学科交流和合作，提高对健康和疾病方面性/性别差异的生物学基础的认识。OSSD年会的主要目标是为科学家提供一个论坛，以探索人类和模型系统在遗传，分子，细胞，器官和系统水平上的性别差异研究。年会包括一个主题演讲开幕式演讲，闭幕式演讲，七个独立的研讨会，和一个新的研究者研讨会。2011年会议的专题讨论会主题包括行为、大脑功能和生长：性发育障碍的教训;滥用药物生物作用中性别差异发展的里程碑;综合性肾脏和心血管疾病中的性别和性别差异;性别、性别和激素对疫苗免疫反应的影响;呼吸功能的性别差异：从基础科学到临床应用;外周对心血管控制影响的性别差异;神经免疫反应的性别差异以及神经和精神疾病的风险。可持续发展办公室方案委员会从可持续发展办公室成员提交的提案中选择专题讨论会的主题。根据科学价值、主题与总体目标的相关性、OSSD成员感兴趣的主题的轮换以及基础和临床发言人的参与，选择了提案。27位发言者已接受邀请，在会上介绍他们的工作。除了主旨演讲和专题讨论会之外，还安排了两次海报会议，将围绕这些专题讨论会所涵盖的主题安排，并将突出新调查员和受训人员的工作。本次会议的规模（约150人）和组织为建立联系和互动讨论提供了极好的机会。根据前四次年度会议的出席情况，我们预计与会者中约有三分之二将是常设调查员，三分之一将是新的调查员。请拨资金用于支付基调发言人和顶点发言人的差旅费和住宿费、受邀发言人的登记费、视听设备和会议室租赁费以及初级调查员差旅费和奖金。年度会议方案，包括发言人和海报摘要，将在可持续发展办公室网站（www.ossdweb.org）上免费提供。我们将与俄克拉荷马州大学合作组织这次活动，并请求制药和生物技术行业以及俄克拉荷马州儿童医学研究基金会等私人基金会提供支持。我们预计能够为这次会议争取到几个资金来源。本次会议已收到继续医学教育学分的批准。 公共卫生相关性：本提案是对将于2011年6月2日至4日在俄克拉荷马州俄克拉荷马州市举行的OSSD（性别差异研究组织）第五届年会的支持请求。OSSD是一个科学会员制协会，其使命是通过促进来自不同背景的科学家和临床医生之间的跨学科交流和合作，提高对人类健康和疾病中性别/性别差异的认识。
