DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting partial financial support to defray speaker and special participant travel expenses associated with the 12th International Congress of Human Genetics (ICHG) to be held in October 11-15, 2011, in Montreal Canada. The ICHG is held every 5 years, rotating among continents to encourage diverse attendance. It is sponsored by the regional human genetics professional organization on the continent. The 2011 Congress will be held concurrently with and be sponsored by the American Society of Human Genetics and is expected to attract between 6,000 and 7,000 attendees. The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), founded in 1948, is the primary professional membership organization for human genetics specialists worldwide. The Society's nearly 8,000 members include researchers, academicians, clinicians, laboratory practice professionals, genetic counselors, nurses and others who have a special interest in the field of human genetics. The 2011 Scientific Program will include 100-120 internationally renowned invited speakers, and thought leaders who will share summaries, provide insights, and debate different timely topics within the field. In addition, oral and poster presentations will be accepted from submitted abstracts. State-of the-art debates will inform participants about current areas of controversy. Education sessions will be designed for students and instructors of K-12, undergraduate and professional courses and curriculum developers in genetics. A special track of events will be available for trainees, both pre- and post-doctoral, including special sessions on professional development. An additional concurrent track, called the Advocates Program, will be provided, as at all ASHG annual meetings, for about 2 dozen lay leaders of genetics or disease organizations, so that there can be direct interaction between the consumer/advocates and genetics professionals from around the world. Those attending the ICHG conference will be exposed to a wide-range of topics in human genetics, enhancing both the research agenda and clinical practice of medical genetics around the world. The many carefully selected topics and varied backgrounds of the thousands of attendees will lead to lively scientific interchange and creative thinking. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Objectives of the Conference: The goal of the 2011 International Congress of Human Genetics is to provide the ideal venue for genetic scientists to share the latest research results and practice models, and to promote international discussion among researchers, academicians, clinicians, laboratory practice professionals, counselors, and all trainees in the field of human genetics. This International Congress is held every 5 years, and rotates among the continents. This year it is being held in conjunction with the Annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) and most of the attendees will be ASHG members. Larger and with more emphasis on international discussions, this meeting is designed to facilitate interactions among scientists from all over the world. Attendees will be a part of a record-breaking meeting that provides the world's focal point for human genetics. Research plans will be updated, new collaborations formed, and clinical practice modified as the result of new information shared at the ICHG. As a result of the congress, attendees will be able to identify limitations and gaps in current practice of genetic medicine and its applications, and will gain knowledge and insight to develop a research agenda going forward. The mixture of events includes plenary sessions of expert speakers and an added 2 young investigator talks, invited scientific sessions, invited educational sessions, and 408 talks to be selected from submitted abstracts. Every abstract is reviewed by 3 independent reviewers and scored, with the highest scoring abstracts in the topics listed below making the platform sessions. The major topic areas to be covered will be: cancer cytogenetics, cancer genetics, cardiovascular genetics, clinical genetics and dysmorphology, theory and methods of complex traits, development, epigenetics, ethical, legal and social issues, evolutionary and population genetics, gene structure and gene function, genetic counseling and clinical testing, genetics education, genomics, health services research, metabolic disorders, molecular basis of Mendelian disorders, pharmacogenetics, prenatal/perinatal genetics, psychiatric genetics neurogenetics, and neurodegeneration, reproductive genetics, statistical genetics and genetic epidemiology, and therapy for genetic disorders. Each topic has up to 10 subtopics. These categories are used by the program committee for the invited and educational sessions, and each abstract submitter is asked to suggest the topic of their abstract. The SPC then groups presentations and posters in creating the final program.

描述(由申请者提供)：我们请求部分财政支持，以支付将于2011年10月11日至15日在加拿大蒙特利尔举行的第12届国际人类遗传学大会(ICHG)的演讲者和特殊参与者的旅费。ICHG每5年举行一次，在各大洲之间轮换，以鼓励不同的与会者。它是由非洲大陆的区域人类遗传学专业组织赞助的。2011年大会将与美国人类遗传学学会同时举行，并由美国人类遗传学学会赞助，预计将吸引6000至7000人参加。美国人类遗传学学会(ASHG)成立于1948年，是全球人类遗传学专家的主要专业会员组织。该学会的近8000名成员包括研究人员、院士、临床医生、实验室实践专业人员、遗传顾问、护士和其他对人类遗传学领域有特殊兴趣的人。2011年科学计划将包括100-120位国际知名的特邀演讲者和思想领袖，他们将分享总结，提供见解，并在该领域内就不同的及时主题进行辩论。此外，来自提交的摘要的口头和海报陈述将被接受。最先进的辩论将向与会者介绍当前的争议领域。教育课程将为K-12的学生和教师、本科生和专业课程以及遗传学课程开发人员设计。将为博士后和博士后学员提供一个特别的活动轨道，包括关于专业发展的特别会议。与所有ASHG年会一样，将为大约20多名遗传学或疾病组织的非专业领导人提供一个额外的并行轨道，称为倡导者计划，以便消费者/倡导者和来自世界各地的遗传学专业人员之间可以直接互动。参加ICHG会议的人将接触到人类遗传学的广泛主题，促进世界各地医学遗传学的研究议程和临床实践。数千名与会者精心挑选的众多主题和不同的背景将带来生动的科学交流和创造性思维。 与公共卫生相关：会议的目标：2011年国际人类遗传学大会的目标是为基因科学家提供一个分享最新研究成果和实践模式的理想场所，并促进人类遗传学领域的研究人员、院士、临床医生、实验室实践专业人员、顾问和所有实习生之间的国际讨论。本届国际大会每5年举行一次，在各大洲之间轮换。今年，它将与美国人类遗传学学会(ASHG)年会同时举行，大多数与会者将是ASHG成员。这次会议规模更大，更注重国际讨论，旨在促进来自世界各地的科学家之间的互动。与会者将成为一个破纪录的会议的一部分，该会议为世界提供了人类遗传学的焦点。由于ICHG共享了新的信息，将更新研究计划，形成新的合作关系，并修改临床实践。作为大会的结果，与会者将能够确定当前遗传医学实践及其应用中的限制和差距，并将获得知识和洞察力，以制定未来的研究议程。混合活动包括专家发言者的全体会议和另外两次青年研究员演讲、受邀的科学会议、受邀的教育会议，以及从提交的摘要中挑选的408次演讲。每个摘要都由3个独立的评审员评审并评分，其中得分最高的摘要列在以下主题中，进行平台会议。将涵盖的主要主题领域包括：癌症细胞遗传学、癌症遗传学、心血管遗传学、临床遗传学和变形学、复杂性状的理论和方法、发育、表观遗传学、伦理、法律和社会问题、进化和群体遗传学、基因结构和基因功能、遗传咨询和临床测试、遗传学教育、基因组学、卫生服务研究、代谢障碍、孟德尔疾病的分子基础、药物遗传学、产前/围产期遗传学、精神遗传学、神经遗传学和神经退化、生殖遗传学、统计遗传学和遗传流行病学，以及遗传疾病的治疗。每个主题最多有10个副主题。这些类别由项目委员会用于邀请和教育会议，每个摘要提交者被要求建议他们摘要的主题。然后，SPC在创建最终计划时将演示文稿和海报分组。
