DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Teratology Society was founded in 1960 to foster the exchange of information relating to the causes and prevention of congenital (birth) defects. While much progress in understanding and preventing birth defects has been made, birth defects still remain a major public health concern in the world today and are the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States. Furthermore, we now recognize the need for concern for a wider range of developmentally-mediated disorders which can be affected by a multitude of factors which include not only drugs and chemicals, but also diet, genetics and socioeconomic factors. The Society's diverse membership, which includes clinicians, scientists and science policy regulators from governmental, academic, and industrial sectors, is uniquely suited to address these challenges. In 2013, the Society will hold its 53rd Annual Meeting at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tuscon, Arizona. The theme for the meeting is Application of Cutting-Edge Technologies to Improve Assessment, Treatment, Prevention, and Communication Regarding Birth Defects. Symposia topics include advances in genomic sciences, application of imaging technologies, predictive developmental toxicology, diabetes and pregnancy, prenatal origins of neuropsychiatric disorders, chemotherapeutics, and FDA pregnancy labeling. The Society understands the importance of encouraging and mentoring students and new and early stage investigators (trainees). Education and training are key elements of the Society's strategic goals so events and sessions are included in the meeting that encourage trainee participation. There is a platform session comprised of talks competitively selected from trainee-submitted abstracts. The presentations are judged by senior Society members and the two top presenters receive an award. The remaining trainee abstracts are included in sessions throughout the meeting. Those selected to present posters have signage at their poster board to indicate their trainee status and compete for best poster awards, encouraging interaction among the presenters and the established scientists. In addition, there is a career night event that is designed to promote networking between trainees and scientists in a relaxed forum that promotes open discussions related to future plans and career opportunities. The trainees are also encouraged to serve as ad hoc members on the majority of the Society's committees, thereby deepening their involvement within the Society. The specific aims of this application are to: 1) request funds for Travel Awards to students and new and early stage investigators to attend the 2013 Annual Meeting and 2) partially support travel expenses for key non-member speakers. The Society believes that its trainees are the future of both the Society and the scientific endeavors fostered by its community of scientists. Travel awards help offset the financial burden that might otherwise prevent trainees from attending. The application also requests funds to partially defray travel costs for invited non-member speakers.

描述（由申请人提供）：畸形学会成立于1960年，旨在促进与先天性（出生）缺陷的原因和预防有关的信息交流。虽然在了解和预防出生缺陷方面取得了很大进展，但出生缺陷仍然是当今世界的主要公共卫生问题，并且是美国婴儿死亡的主要原因。此外，我们现在认识到需要关注更广泛的发育介导的疾病，这些疾病可能受到多种因素的影响，不仅包括药物和化学品，还包括饮食，遗传和社会经济因素。该协会的成员多元化，其中包括来自政府，学术和工业部门的临床医生，科学家和科学政策监管机构，特别适合应对这些挑战。2013年，该协会将在亚利桑那州图森市的洛伊斯文塔纳峡谷度假村举行第53届年会。会议的主题是应用尖端技术改善出生缺陷的评估、治疗、预防和沟通。研讨会的主题包括基因组科学的进展，成像技术的应用，预测发育毒理学，糖尿病和妊娠，神经精神疾病的产前起源，化疗和FDA妊娠标签。该协会理解鼓励和指导学生和新的和早期阶段的调查人员（学员）的重要性。教育和培训是学会战略目标的关键要素，因此会议中包括鼓励受训者参与的活动和会议。有一个平台会议，包括从受训者提交的摘要中竞争性选择的演讲。演讲由资深学会成员评判，两位最佳演讲者获奖。其余的学员摘要包括在整个会议的各个环节中。那些被选中展示海报的人在他们的海报板上有标志，以表明他们的学员身份，并争夺最佳海报奖，鼓励演讲者和知名科学家之间的互动。此外，还有一个职业之夜活动，旨在促进学员和科学家在轻松的论坛上建立联系，促进与未来计划和职业机会有关的公开讨论。还鼓励受训人员担任协会大多数委员会的临时成员，从而加深他们对协会的参与。 本申请的具体目的是：1）申请旅行奖的资金，以学生和新的和早期阶段的研究人员参加2013年年会和2）部分支持主要非会员发言人的差旅费。学会认为，其受训人员是学会和科学家社区所培养的科学事业的未来。旅行奖励有助于抵消否则可能使受训者无法参加的经济负担。申请书还要求提供资金，以部分支付应邀的非成员发言者的旅费。
