39th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society for Obstetrics

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的基本原理是支持妇产科传染病学会年会（IDSOG）。妇女保健问题小组成立于1973年，目的是把对传染病科学研究感兴趣的妇女保健领域的专业人员聚集在一起。年度科学会议为传染病领域的专家提供了一个机会，分享影响妇女健康的知识，特别是当前新出现的相关疾病。这次会议将促进富有成效的思想交流，这将使受训人员和年轻研究人员以及高级研究人员和临床医生能够在学术环境中展示他们的工作。这是目前唯一一个专门从事传染病及其对妇女生殖影响的活跃调查协会，因此，支持对继续开展这一科学研究议程至关重要。我们的主要目标之一是以性别和种族包容/平衡的方式吸引、招募、指导和发展下一代受过学术训练的生殖传染病调查人员和专家。会议计划阐述了实现这一目标的计划。简而言之，我们计划使用此申请中的资金为初级研究人员提供10个奖学金（1/2给少数族裔女性与会者）

Description (as provided by the applicant): The rationale of this application is to support the Annual Meeting of the Infectious Disease Society for Obstetrics and Gynecology (IDSOG). IDSOG was created in 1973 to bring together professionals in the field of women's health who are interested in the scientific study of infectious diseases. The annual scientific meeting presents an opportunity for experts in the areas of infectious diseases to share knowledge that impacts women's health, in particular current emerging diseases of relevance. This meeting will promote a productive exchange of ideas, which will perpetuate the environment in which trainees and young investigators as well as senior investigators and clinicians can present their work in an academic setting. This is currently the only active investigative society dedicated specifically on infectious diseases and their reproductive implications among women, so support is crucial to continuing this scientific research agenda. One of our major goals is attract, recrui, mentor, and develop the next generation of academically-trained reproductive infectious diseases investigators and specialists in a gender and racially inclusive/balanced manner. Plans for this goal are delineated in the conference plan. Briefly, we plan to use the funding in this application to offer 10 scholarships (1/2 to minority female attendees) for junior investigators to attend the annual meeting as well as having a specific trainee session for junior investigators at the meeting to augment IDSOG's effectiveness towards this goal. Public Health Relevance: One of IDSOG's major goals is attract, recruit, mentor, and develop the next generation of academically-trained reproductive infectious diseases investigators and specialists in a gender and racially inclusive/balanced manner for the current and future improvement in public health among women. Plans for this goal are delineated in the conference plan. Briefly, we plan to use the funding in this application to offer 10 scholarships (1/2 to minority female attendees) for junior investigators to attend the annual meeting as well as having a specific trainee session for junior investigators at the meeting to augment IDSOG's effectiveness towards this goal.
