该申请要求提供资金，以支持早期职业上皮生物学家的差旅费， 他们在2019年实验生物学（EB）的上皮运输小组（ETG）科学会议上的研究。 ETG会议在美国生理学会（APS）年会期间举行， 2019年4月6日至10日在佛罗里达州奥兰多，作为EB 2019的一部分。会议将在橙子郡大会上举行 中心，为残疾人和有特殊需要的人提供符合ADA标准的基础设施。ETG拥有 促进来自不同背景的生理学家之间互动的悠久历史， 上皮细胞的生物过程，并鼓励学生，博士后研究员和教师开发 上皮生物学的研究生涯。根据以往的经验和多年的年度调查数据， 我始终将EB的ETG年度会议视为一次宝贵的培训经历， 并促进以上皮为中心的生物医学研究的保留。因此，我们努力优化培训生 通过为有前途的早期职业调查员提供旅行奖励支持， 资源有限。所有通过EB提交摘要到ETG策划类别的学员 门户网站将有资格获得旅行奖励。摘要将由一个由19名成员组成的指导委员会进行审查和评分 委员会，然后谁将分配奖励的基础上的优点。奖励金额将视资金情况而定 可以利用的。然而，不管数额如何，我们计划在预算中增加一笔补充资金， 获奖者的儿童/家庭护理需求超出了现场提供的现有托儿服务。 得分最高的摘要将被选为专题会议的口头报告，专题会议的标题为 汉斯·尤辛和史蒂夫·赫伯特的年度讲座在2019年，这些著名的讲师将认识到博士。 金巴雷特和罗伯特芬顿为他们的重要贡献上皮生物学和运输。这种格式 在受训者中很受欢迎，因为它为有才华的早期职业生理学家提供了令人兴奋的机会。 在一个正式的，但学院式的环境中，与杰出的科学家一起展示他们的研究。为期一天的“EB前” 专题讨论会将为初级调查员提供更多机会， 气氛，与网络咖啡休息和午餐，并与水和电解质联合搅拌器 在结束时的稳态部分，以促进更多的学员互动和非正式指导 ETG教师的机会。ETG海报会议将作为详细科学讨论的纽带， 受训人员与资深调查员之间的互动以及建立网络。鉴于ETG对培训生的承诺 辅导，我们相信，通过这种应用程序提供的支持将吻合拟议的会议 结构，以提高对上皮生理学感兴趣的初级科学家的职业发展，并为我们的 维持上皮生物学家在生物医学研究事业的管道的长期目标。

This application requests funding to support the travel expenses of early career epithelial biologists presenting their research at the Epithelial Transport Group (ETG) scientific sessions at Experimental Biology (EB) 2019. The ETG sessions occur within the annual American Physiological Society (APS) meeting, which will take place April 6-10, 2019 in Orlando, FL as part of EB2019. The meeting will be held at the Orange County Convention Center, which offers an ADA-compliant infrastructure for individuals with disabilities and special needs. ETG has a longstanding history of promoting interactions among physiologists from diverse backgrounds who study biological processes in epithelia and encourages students, postdoctoral fellows, and instructors to develop research careers in epithelial biology. Based on prior experience and years of annual survey data, trainees consistently view the annual ETG sessions at EB as a valuable training experience that reinforces their interest in the field and promotes retention in epithelial-centric biomedical research. Thus, we strive to optimize trainee exposure to ETG-related events by providing travel award support for promising early career investigators with limited resources. All trainees who submit abstracts to ETG-curated categories via the EB abstract submission portal will be eligible for travel awards. The abstracts will be reviewed and scored by a 19-member Steering Committee, who will then allocate the awards based on merit. Award amounts will be contingent on the funds that are available. Regardless of the amount, however, it is our plan to budget an additional supplement to awardees with child/family care needs that exceed the existing childcare services that will be provided on site. Top scoring abstracts will be selected for oral presentation in Featured Topic sessions that will be headlined by the annual Hans Ussing and Steve Hebert lectures. In 2019, these prestigious lectureships will recognize Drs. Kim Barrett and Robert Fenton for their important contributions to epithelial biology and transport. This format has proven popular among trainees, as it provides an exciting opportunity for talented early career physiologists to present their research alongside preeminent scientists in a formal, but collegial setting. A one-day “pre-EB” symposium will provide additional opportunities for junior investigators to orally present their work in a less formal atmosphere, with networking coffee breaks and lunches and a joint mixer with the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis section at the conclusion to promote additional trainee interactions and informal mentoring opportunities with ETG faculty. ETG poster sessions will serve as a nexus for detailed scientific discussions, interaction between trainees and established investigators, and networking. Given ETG’s commitment to trainee mentoring, we believe that the support provided by this application will dovetail with the proposed meeting structure to enhance the career development of junior scientists interested in epithelial physiology and serve our long-term goal of maintaining the pipeline of epithelial biologists in biomedical research careers.
