DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In October 2013, the 5th Annual Illinois Symposium on Reproductive Sciences (ISRS) meeting will be hosted by Southern Illinois University (SIU) in Carbondale, IL. Many pioneers in reproductive biology performed groundbreaking research that established Illinois at the forefront of reproductive science investigation. This mantle has been assumed by a new generation of scientists who have been successful in maintaining this legacy of creative, interdisciplinary, well-funded, and highly respected research. This faculty, as well a the trainees they have mentored, have become preeminent leaders in germane professional societies such as the Society for the Study of Reproduction, the Endocrine Society, the Society for Gynecologic Investigation, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and the American Association for Cancer Research. The ISRS meeting has firm roots in the long running minisymposium organized by the Center for Reproductive Sciences at Northwestern University. In 2009, the ISRS meeting was organized as a statewide annual meeting rotating among four host institutions. Merging the Northwestern University minisymposium with the long standing biannual reproductive biology meeting between the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC) and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), the ISRS brought SIU into the shared arena with the prior meetings. The ISRS meeting serves to showcase the quality of research in reproductive sciences, both in fertility and disease, within Illinois institutions and fosters collaborations and the exchange of scientific discoveries across the Midwest. The objective of the ISRS meeting is to promote the exchange of information to advance our collective understanding of the mammalian reproductive tract both in normal function and in diseased states. Because the majority of the attendees are concentrated in the Midwest, many lasting collaborations stem from these meetings that have proven both productive and easy to maintain. Since its inception, the ISRS meeting has seen an annual increase in the number of abstract submissions both from Illinois and surrounding states. The founding pillar of the ISRS meeting is to provide an opportunity for our trainees to interact with senior leaders in our field. This extends to the organization of the meeting as well, as the trainee program committee is solely responsible for organizing the scientific sessions into thematic groups and selection of trainee platform speakers. In contrast to many regional meetings where a bevy of established names are used to draw in participation, the ISRS keynote speaker serves as the centerpiece for the celebration of trainee-driven research which comprises 75% of the time allotted to oral presentations (In 2012, trainees presented 15 talks and 84 posters). The trainee research competition has been of high quality with only a narrow margin separating award winners from the bulk of the pack. The ISRS presentations are designed to serve as a foundation for critical discussion by all participants of questions, gaps in understanding, controversies, and new technologies that are allowing us to identify the central regulators of gonad development and function, and develop inroads to reduce infertility and treat reproductive disorders.

描述(申请人提供)：2013年10月，第五届伊利诺伊州生殖科学年会(ISRS)将由南伊利诺伊大学(SIU)在伊利诺伊州卡本代尔主办。许多生殖生物学的先驱进行了开创性的研究，使伊利诺伊州处于生殖科学研究的前沿。新一代科学家承担了这一重任，他们成功地保持了这一创造性、跨学科、资金充足和备受尊敬的研究遗产。这些教师以及他们指导的实习生已经成为相关专业学会的杰出领导人，如生殖研究学会、内分泌学会、妇科调查学会、美国生殖医学学会和美国癌症研究协会。ISRS会议扎根于西北大学生殖科学中心组织的长期小型研讨会。2009年，ISRS会议被组织为全州范围的年度会议，在四个主办机构之间轮流举行。将西北大学小型研讨会与伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校(UIC)和伊利诺伊大学香槟分校(UIUC)之间一年两次的长期生殖生物学会议合并在一起，ISRS将SIU带入了与以前的会议共享的舞台。ISRS会议旨在展示伊利诺伊州各机构内生殖科学研究的质量，包括生育和疾病，并促进中西部地区的合作和科学发现的交流。ISRS会议的目的是促进信息交流，以促进我们对哺乳动物生殖道在正常功能和疾病状态下的集体了解。由于大多数与会者集中在中西部，许多持久的合作都源于这些会议，事实证明，这些会议既富有成效，又易于维护。自ISRS会议开始以来，来自伊利诺伊州和周边各州的摘要提交数量每年都在增加。ISRS会议的创始支柱是为我们的受训人员提供一个与我们领域的高级领导人互动的机会。 这也延伸到会议的组织上，因为受训人员方案委员会完全负责将科学会议组织成专题小组并挑选受训人员讲台演讲者。与许多地区会议不同的是，许多知名的会议都是用来吸引与会者的，而ISRS的主旨演讲者是庆祝学员主导的研究的中心，学员主导的研究占口头陈述时间的75%(2012年，学员发表了15次演讲和84张海报)。实习生研究竞赛一直是高质量的，获奖者与大部分获奖者之间只有很小的差距。ISRS的演示旨在为所有参与者就问题、理解上的差距、争议和新技术进行批判性讨论奠定基础，这些新技术使我们能够确定性腺发育和功能的核心调节因素，并开发减少不孕不育和治疗生殖疾病的进展。
