DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The Teratology Society was founded in 1960 to foster exchange of information relating to congenital (birth) defects including their nature, cause, mechanism and prevention. In 2009 the Society will hold its 49th Annual Meeting in Puerto Rico. The meeting provides a place and time to network and indulge in discussions from philosophical to practical with established experts in the field, new researchers, and students. It is also a place and time to promote and express our scientific diversity as a Society of fellow clinicians, scientists and science policy regulators from academic, industrial, and government sectors. The Society understands the importance of encouraging and mentoring students and postdoctoral fellows, including fostering education and training as part of its strategic goals. The meeting agenda includes events and sessions to encourage student and postdoctoral fellow participation. There will be one platform session which highlights the research of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. This platform session is comprised of talks competitively selected from the pool of abstracts submitted for platform presentation by students and postdoctoral fellows. Those students and postdoctoral fellows whose abstracts are not selected for this session are included in other platform and poster sessions throughout the meeting. Students and postdoctoral fellow posters are marked as such in order to encourage interaction between the presenters and the members of the Society and meeting attendees. The Teratology Society recognizes that the students and fellows are the future of both the Society and the scientific discipline. Involving the students and fellows in the science by providing them an opportunity to present their research, interact with some of the leading scientists in the field, and form relationships that they will carry throughout their career is vital to the field of birth defects research. Many of these students and postdoctoral fellows rely on travel awards to assist them in offsetting the financial burden of attending the meeting. Without funding such as this, many would not be able to take advantage of the rich exchange of scientific information and new ideas generated at this scientific meeting. In this proposal, the investigators are requesting funds to defray part of the cost of travel awards. Travel awards will be granted to students and postdoctoral fellows presenting their research findings during the 2009 Teratology Society Annual Meeting.

描述（由申请人提供） 畸形学会成立于1960年，旨在促进与先天性（出生）缺陷相关的信息交流，包括其性质、原因、机制和预防。2009年，学会将在波多黎各举行第49届年会。会议提供了一个地方和时间来网络，并沉迷于从哲学到实践的讨论，与该领域的专家，新的研究人员和学生。它也是一个地方和时间来促进和表达我们的科学多样性，作为来自学术，工业和政府部门的临床医生，科学家和科学政策监管机构的社会。学会理解鼓励和指导学生和博士后研究员的重要性，包括促进教育和培训作为其战略目标的一部分。会议议程包括鼓励学生和博士后研究员参与的活动和会议。将有一个平台会议，突出研究生和博士后研究员的研究。该平台会议由学生和博士后研究员从提交平台演示的摘要池中竞争性选择的演讲组成。那些论文摘要没有入选本次会议的学生和博士后研究员将被纳入整个会议期间的其他平台和海报会议。学生和博士后研究员海报被标记为这样，以鼓励演讲者和社会成员和与会者之间的互动。 畸形学会认识到，学生和研究员是社会和科学学科的未来。让学生和研究员参与科学，为他们提供展示研究成果的机会，与该领域的一些顶尖科学家互动，并形成他们将在整个职业生涯中进行的关系，这对出生缺陷研究领域至关重要。这些学生和博士后研究员中的许多人依靠旅行奖来帮助他们抵消参加会议的经济负担。 如果没有这样的资金，许多人将无法利用这次科学会议上产生的丰富的科学信息交流和新想法。 在这一提议中，调查员要求提供资金，以支付部分差旅费。旅行奖将授予学生和博士后研究员在2009年畸形学会年会期间介绍他们的研究成果。
