Project Summary/Abstract This R13 application requests funds to support the XXVth North American Testis Workshop focused on “Lifelong cell-cell interactions in the testis: a driver for male fertility,” to be held April 3-6, 2019 at The Ritz- Carlton Chicago, Chicago, Illinois. The meeting will be held just before the American Society of Andrology annual meeting, which will take place on April 6-9 at the same location. The Testis Workshop program includes four major lectures (the keynote address and three benchmark lectures), and 15 invited talks that are grouped into five sessions as follows: Cell-cell interactions in testis formation (Session I), Germ cell differentiation in response to local and endocrine factors (Session II), Somatic cell function in response to local factors (Session III), Testicular function in response to man-made chemicals (Session IV), and Pathogen effects on testis function (Session V). After the invited talks, sessions will end with short talks selected from abstracts submitted by young investigators (trainees and Assistant Professors in rank for no more than 2 years). Two poster sessions, with all posters displayed throughout the meeting, are also planned. All attendees are encouraged to submit posters. Since 1972, the North American Testis Workshop has been the premiere international forum for basic and clinician-scientists to present and discuss their recent findings on testis regulation and function. The Workshop attracts 150-200 attendees, approximately 30% of whom are trainees. It also attracts scientists from outside the United States as program organizers, attendees and speakers. The requested R13 funds are intended to help defray travel costs for 8 young investigators who are selected for short talks from submitted abstracts, and part of the housing costs for the 19 invited speakers. The main goals for the Workshop are to: 1) disseminate expert information that will provide better understanding of (a) the development of germ cells in the testes of animals and humans and (b) the role of testicular cell types, hormones and exogenous influences (e.g. viruses, man-made chemicals etc.) on germ cell development and fertility; 2) foster communication and scientific exchange in order to create excellent opportunities for collaboration with peers and ultimately career and scientific growth, thus ensuring that the field of testis biology will continue to advance in the future; and 3) foster the development of the field’s future leaders, with emphasis on trainees, women and underrepresented minorities.

项目摘要/摘要 此R13应用程序申请资金以支持XXV北美睾丸研讨会 将于2019年4月3日至6日在丽思卡尔顿酒店举办“睾丸中的终生细胞-细胞相互作用：男性生育能力的驱动力”。 卡尔顿芝加哥，芝加哥，伊利诺伊州。会议将在美国男科学会之前举行 年会将于4月6日至9日在同一地点举行。 测试工作坊计划包括四个主要讲座(主旨演讲和三个基准 讲座)，以及15个受邀演讲，分为五个部分，如下：睾丸细胞-细胞相互作用 形成(第一阶段)，生殖细胞对局部和内分泌因素的反应分化(第二阶段)， 体细胞功能对局部因素的反应(第三节)，睾丸功能对人为因素的反应 化学品(第四节)和病原体对睾丸功能的影响(第五节)。在受邀的会谈之后， 会议将以简短的演讲结束，这些演讲选自年轻研究人员(实习生和 助理教授职级不超过两年)。两次海报会议，展示所有海报 在整个会议期间，都是有计划的。我们鼓励所有参赛者提交海报。 自1972年以来，北美睾丸研讨会一直是基础和 临床医生-科学家介绍和讨论他们在睾丸调节和功能方面的最新发现。这个 研讨会吸引了150-200人参加，其中约30%是实习生。它也吸引了科学家 来自美国以外的人，作为项目的组织者、参与者和演讲者。申请的R13资金 旨在帮助支付8名年轻调查人员的旅费，他们被选为从 提交的摘要和19位受邀演讲者的部分住宿费。的主要目标是 讲习班的目的是：1)传播专家信息，以便更好地了解(A) 动物和人类睾丸中生殖细胞的发育和(B)睾丸细胞类型的作用， 荷尔蒙和外源影响(如病毒、人造化学品等)论生殖细胞发育 和生育率；2)促进沟通和科学交流，为 与同行合作，最终实现事业和科学发展，从而确保睾丸领域 生物学将在未来继续向前发展；以及3)促进该领域未来领导者的发展， 重点是受训人员、妇女和任职人数偏低的少数群体。
