Weinstein Cardiovascular Development Conference

抽象的。 这项提案的具体目的是为2017年温斯坦大会的组织获得部分资金 在俄亥俄州哥伦布市举行的心血管发展会议。温斯坦心血管疾病的发展 会议起源于一系列的年度会议，在这些会议上，调查人员由三个不同的RFA资助 在康斯坦斯博士的指导下，1986年、1988年和1990年的心脏发展 温斯坦和他在NHLBI的同事们。自成立以来，为期3天的温斯坦会议一直是 心血管发展领域的基础科学和临床研究人员的绝佳机会 就各种传统的和新兴的相关主题进行互动并展示创新的新数据和想法 与心脏发生有关，以及先天性心脏病和成人疾病的机制 胚胎起源。这次会议是独一无二的，原因有几个：首先，它完全由地方政府推动 和由研究人员组成的国际组织委员会，这些研究人员与社会没有联系；第二， 参加会议的是该领域的高级领导人，其中许多人在整个过程中都参加了这次会议 他们的学术生涯，但目标是以平台和 海报演示；第三，与会议相关的协作环境鼓励 传播新的、未公布的数据，从而增加科学内容的影响。目标 每次会议的目的是将心血管领域的基础和临床科学家聚集在一起 生物世界，为学生、博士后和初级研究人员提供一个互动论坛 介绍他们的工作并与高级研究人员互动，并积极支持科学多样性。在这 建议为2017年在哥伦布举行的温斯坦会议提供财政支持。资金将是 1)用于补充学员的注册费，以将成本保持在最低水平，并鼓励出勤，2) 以旅行奖励的形式向代表性不足的少数群体提供财政援助，以及3)支持 一般会议费。

Abstract. The specific aim of this proposal is to obtain partial funding for the organization of the 2017 Weinstein Cardiovascular Development Conference in Columbus, Ohio. The Weinstein Cardiovascular Development Conference originated from a series of annual meetings in which investigators funded by three separate RFAs on Cardiac Development in 1986, 1988, and 1990 came together under the direction of Dr. Constance Weinstein and colleagues at the NHLBI. Ever since its inception, the 3-day Weinstein meeting has been the premier opportunity for basic science and clinical researchers in the field of cardiovascular development to interact and present innovative, new data and ideas on various traditional and emerging relative topics pertinent to cardiogenesis, and mechanisms of congenital heart defects and adult disease emanating from embryonic origins. This meeting is one-of-a-kind for several reasons: First it is entirely driven entirely by local and international organizing committees made up of researchers with no affiliation with societies; Second, the meeting is attended by senior leaders in the field, many of which have been attending this meeting throughout their academic career, but the goal is to expose junior investigators and trainees in the form of platform and poster presentations; and Third, the collaborative environment associated with the meetings encourages dissemination of new, unpublished data, thereby increasing the impact of the scientific content. The objectives of each meeting are to bring together basic and clinical scientists working in the areas of cardiovascular biology all over the world, to provide an interactive forum for students, postdocs and junior investigators to present their work and interact with senior investigators, and to actively support diversity in science. In this proposal financial support is requested for the 2017 Weinstein meeting to be held in Columbus. Funds will be used 1) To supplement registration fees for trainees to keep costs at a minimum and encourage attendance, 2) to provide financial assistance in the form of travel awards for under-represented minorities, and 3) to support general conference costs.
