PROJECT SUMMARY Reproductive health underpins overall health and thus research in reproductive science and medicine is essential. This requires a steady pipeline of trained scientists and clinicians, which can be challenging given the relatively small size of the field. Professional opportunities outside the laboratory and classroom are essential to providing our trainees with important scientific, leadership, and career development experiences. Since 2008, Northwestern and other institutions in Illinois, including the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign (UIUC), have hosted a biannual meeting on a rotating basis entitled the Illinois Symposium for Reproductive Science (ISRS). Given the strengths of our collective focus on reproductive science, our extensive trainee community, as well as our established institutional infrastructures, our goal is to now expand this event to include five states and 16 institutions across the Upper Midwest region. This application seeks funds to support the Upper Midwest Summit for Reproductive Science. This conference will be hosted by Northwestern and the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign in alternate years. A hallmark of this event is that it is largely organized and coordinated by trainees, providing valuable leadership and professional development experience. The trainee planning committee will be responsible for identifying themes and speakers, hosting and chaperoning speakers, acting as session moderators, and working the registration table. The event will be held over a period of a day and a half and will consist of a variety of presentation formats. Dedicated poster sessions throughout the meeting allow participants to present their research, receive constructive feedback, and engage in constructive dialogue other attendees. Panel sessions and a career roundtable lunch will enhance the program by moving beyond the bench to discuss topics such as innovation, advocacy, and communication. There will also be an invited keynote speaker, who will be a luminary in the field, as well as an alumni speaker who will be someone who participated in the conference as a trainee and now has a successful career in our discipline. Sessions will be organized by topics and invited speakers and trainees will deliver oral presentations at this time. Throughout the conference there will be many opportunities for trainees to network with each other and the conference will be an annual opportunity for trainees to facilitate interaction among potential future lab mates, PIs, and collaborators. To further enhance the trainee experience, both institutions have committed to provide funds for trainee research awards for outstanding oral platforms and poster presentations. Priority will be given to individuals who are underrepresented in science to maximize broad participation of diverse speakers and trainees. Together we will leverage our collective institutional strengths to maintain the Upper Midwest Region as a preeminent nationwide leader in this critical research field.

项目摘要 生殖健康是整体健康的基础，因此也是生殖科学和医学研究的基础 运动规则可以称得上具有本质意义这需要训练有素的科学家和临床医生的稳定管道，这可能具有挑战性 考虑到该领域的相对较小的尺寸。实验室以外的专业机会， 课堂是必不可少的，为我们的学员提供重要的科学，领导力和职业生涯 发展经验。自2008年以来，西北和伊利诺伊州的其他机构，包括 伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳尚潘分校（UIUC），轮流主办了一年两次的会议 伊利诺伊州生殖科学研讨会（ISRS）鉴于我们集体的力量 专注于生殖科学，我们广泛的实习生社区，以及我们建立的机构 基础设施，我们的目标是现在扩大这一事件，包括五个国家和16个机构在整个 上中西部地区。本申请寻求资金，以支持上中西部峰会， 生殖科学本次会议将由西北大学和伊利诺伊大学主办 厄巴纳尚潘隔年。这一活动的一个特点是，它在很大程度上是有组织的， 由学员协调，提供宝贵的领导和专业发展经验。的 培训计划委员会将负责确定主题和演讲者，主办和 陪同演讲者，担任会议主持人，并在登记表上工作。该活动将 会议将在一天半的时间内举行，并将包括各种演示形式。专用 整个会议期间的海报会议允许与会者展示他们的研究， 建设性的反馈，并与其他与会者进行建设性的对话。小组会议和 职业圆桌午餐会将通过超越板凳讨论主题， as innovation创新，advocacy倡导，and communication通信.还将邀请一位主旨发言人，他将 成为该领域的杰出人物，以及校友发言人，他将是参加 作为一名实习生参加了会议，现在在我们的学科中取得了成功的职业生涯。会议将组织 届时将由特邀讲者和学员进行口头报告。在整个 会议将有很多机会让学员相互联系，并与会议 将是一个每年一度的机会，让学员促进潜在的未来实验室伙伴，PI， 和合作者。为进一步提升学员体验，两所院校已承诺 为优秀的口头平台和海报展示提供培训生研究奖。 将优先考虑在科学领域代表性不足的个人，以最大限度地扩大参与 不同的演讲者和学员。我们将共同利用我们集体的体制优势， 保持上中西部地区作为一个卓越的全国性领导者在这一关键的研究领域。
