抽象的。 这项提案的具体目的是为2017年温斯坦的组织获得部分资金 俄亥俄州哥伦布的心血管发展会议。温斯坦心血管发展 会议起源于一系列年度会议，在这些会议上，调查人员由三个独立的RFA资助 1986年、1988年和1990年，在康斯坦斯博士的指导下， 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 为心血管发展领域的基础科学和临床研究人员提供了一个绝佳的机会， 就各种传统和新兴的相关主题进行互动并提出创新的新数据和想法 与心脏发生有关，以及先天性心脏缺陷和成人疾病的机制， 胚胎起源这次会议是独一无二的，原因有几个：首先，它完全是由当地人推动的， 和国际组织委员会组成的研究人员与社会没有联系;第二， 外地的高级领导人出席了这次会议，其中许多人自始至终都在参加这次会议。 他们的学术生涯，但目标是以平台的形式暴露初级调查员和学员， 海报展示;第三，与会议相关的协作环境鼓励 传播新的、未发表的数据，从而增加科学内容的影响。目标 每一次会议的目的都是将心血管领域的基础和临床科学家聚集在一起， 生物学在世界各地，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，并积极支持科学的多样性。在这 2017年温斯坦会议将在哥伦布举行。资金将 使用1）补充学员的注册费，以将成本控制在最低限度并鼓励出勤，2） 以旅行奖的形式为代表人数不足的少数群体提供财政援助，以及3）支持 一般会议费用。

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presentations; and Third, the collaborative environment associated with the meetings encourages dissemination of new, unpublished data, thereby increasing the impact of the scientific content.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.
