DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested for partial support of the Society for Developmental Biology's (SDB) annual meetings for the next five years (2014-2018). The Society has organized the major meeting in developmental biology for the past 75 years (missing two during World War II). Since the annual meeting changed its format from a single theme symposium to an open, inclusive meeting in 1993, the meeting size has grown three-fold (from 263 in 1994 to an average of 760 in the last 10 years). By allowing presentations by students and postdoctoral fellows, we have increased the number of abstract submissions from less than 100 to an average of 600's in the last few years. The expansion to include cutting edge themes in developmental biology and related areas such as stem cell and regenerative biology, together with the fast technical advances that allowed investigators to find explanations to questions unanswered before also contributed to this growth in attendance, as well as its standing today in biomedical research and public interest. SDB was founded in 1939 and is today the major society devoted to this field, with over 2200 members worldwide, including undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior and established investigators, many of whom hold NIH grants and fellowships. The proposed meetings will continue the tradition of mixing poster presentations, plenary sessions, concurrent symposia, the Hilde Mangold Postdoctoral Symposium, the awards lectures, an education symposium and workshops on new technologies, education and current issues. In all sessions, a special effort is made to have a diversity of invited speakers in terms of: model organisms, experimental approaches, career stages, gender and racial/ethnic background. For the concurrent symposia at least four short talk slots are reserved per session for abstracts selected from submissions, with preference given to qualified junior investigators. The education symposium and workshop focus on topics such as effective teaching and mentoring strategies at university and pre-college levels, outreach to the lay public, as well as career-related issues. They also address bioethics of research, which is highly relevant to establishing national policies for research on stem cells and cloning, as well as public understanding of science, including evolution. Additional activities that enrich the annual meetings include: On alternating years we hold a Boot Camp for New Faculty or a Reboot Camp for Mid-career Faculty the day preceding and on the first day of the meeting for professional development of untenured and mid-career faculty, respectively. SDB's Professional Development and Education Committee is responsible for these workshops. Call for up to two SDB member organized Satellite Symposia are made and will continue to be made yearly to SDB members. These Symposia complement the offerings of the annual meeting and are held on the opening day of the meeting. These pre-meeting events have been well-attended throughout the last ten years and will continue during this proposal period. The next meeting, to be held at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA is a return to our previous tradition of meetings on university campuses, a practice no longer possible because only a few campuses have facilities large enough for our growing meeting needs. It will also celebrate the 75th anniversary of founding of the Society and as such, sessions highlighting history and breakthroughs will be included in the program. The opening Presidential Symposium will address What have genetic model organisms taught us, where experts will give us an overview of what each organism has contributed to advancing our understanding of developmental processes. The two plenary and nine concurrent sessions will bring reports on the latest discoveries in developmental mechanisms, such as gene regulation, genomics, cell polarity, migration and differentiation, invasion and cancer, mechanical influences, tissue engineering, morphogenesis, organogenesis, evo-devo, organismal interactions, neural development. This meeting will be followed by meetings in Snowbird, Utah, Central region, West and East coast, as rotation throughout the various regions eases the travel burden for participants in the different zones of the country. Efforts will be continually made to find venues of easy access and as economical as possible, including keeping the tradition of university campuses as venue for their collegial atmosphere so cherished by our members.

申请者描述(由申请者提供)：为发育生物学学会(SDB)未来五年(2014-2018)的年会提供部分资金支持。该学会在过去的75年里组织了发育生物学的主要会议(第二次世界大战期间错过了两次会议)。自1993年年度会议从单一主题专题讨论会改为公开、包容各方的会议以来，会议规模增加了三倍(从1994年的263次增加到过去10年的平均760次)。通过允许学生和博士后研究员发表论文，我们在过去几年中将摘要投稿的数量从不到100篇增加到了平均600篇‘S’。将发育生物学及干细胞和再生生物学等相关领域的尖端主题包括在内，再加上快速的技术进步，使研究人员能够找到对以前未回答的问题的解释，这也是导致出席人数增加的原因，以及它今天在生物医学研究和公众兴趣中的地位。SDB成立于1939年，目前是致力于这一领域的主要协会，在全球拥有2200多名成员，包括本科生和研究生、博士后研究员、初级和成熟的研究人员，其中许多人持有NIH的补助金和奖学金。拟议的会议将延续海报展示、全体会议、同时举行的专题讨论会、希尔德·曼戈尔德博士后讨论会、奖项讲座、教育专题讨论会和关于新技术、教育和当前问题的讲习班的传统。在所有会议上，都特别努力在以下方面邀请不同的受邀发言者：模式生物体、实验方法、职业阶段、性别和种族/族裔背景。对于同时举行的专题讨论会，每届会议至少预留四个简短的谈话时段，供从提交的材料中挑选的摘要使用，合格的初级调查人员优先考虑。教育专题讨论会和讲习班的重点是大学和大学前阶段的有效教学和指导战略、面向普通公众的外联活动以及与职业有关的问题。它们还涉及研究的生物伦理，这与制定干细胞和克隆研究的国家政策以及公众对包括进化论在内的科学的理解高度相关。其他活动 丰富年度会议的内容包括：我们每隔一年为新教师举办训练营，或为职业中期教师举办训练营，分别在会议的前一天和第一天为未终身教职和职业生涯中期教师的专业发展举办训练营。这些工作坊由康体局的专业发展及教育委员会负责。召集最多两个康体局成员组织卫星座谈会，并将继续每年向康体局成员发出呼吁。这些研讨会是对年度会议的补充，在会议开幕当天举行。在过去十年中，这些会前活动一直有很多人参加，并将在本提案期间继续下去。下一次会议将在华盛顿州西雅图的华盛顿大学举行，这是我们以前在大学校园举行会议的传统的回归，这种做法不再可能，因为只有少数几个校园拥有足够大的设施来满足我们日益增长的会议需求。它还将庆祝协会成立75周年，因此，节目中将包括突出历史和突破的会议。开幕的总统研讨会将讨论遗传模式生物教给我们的东西，专家们将向我们概述每种生物对促进我们对发育过程的理解做出了哪些贡献。两次全体会议和九次并行会议将报告在发育机制方面的最新发现，如基因调控、基因组学、细胞极性、迁移和分化、侵袭和癌症、机械影响、组织工程、形态发生、器官发生、EVO-DEVO、生物相互作用、神经发育。在这次会议之后，将在雪鸟、犹他州、中部地区、西海岸和东海岸举行会议，因为各地区的轮换减轻了该国不同地区与会者的旅行负担。我们将继续努力寻找方便和尽可能经济的场地，包括保持大学校园的传统，因为大学校园的大学氛围是我们的成员所珍视的。
