DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a request for partial funding to support the fourth annual meeting of the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences (OSSD), to be held June 3 - 5, 2010 in Ann Arbor, MI. OSSD is a scientific membership society that was established in 2006, in partnership with the Society for Women's Health Research. The mission of OSSD is to enhance the knowledge of the biological basis of sex/gender differences in health and disease by facilitating interdisciplinary communication and collaboration among scientists and clinicians from diverse scientific and professional backgrounds. The OSSD annual meeting provides a forum for scientists to explore aspects of sex differences research at the genetic, molecular, cellular, organ, and system levels in humans and model systems. The annual meeting consists of a Keynote opening lecture, a closing Capstone lecture, seven independent symposia, and a New Investigator Symposium. The symposia topics for the 2010 meeting include Evolution and the Origins of Sex Differences in Mortality; Genetic and Environmental Determinants of Parent of Origin Specific Genomic Imprinting; Pain, its Treatment, and the Influence of Sex; Antenatal Corticoids: Sex-based Differences in Respiratory System Ontogeny and Function; Sexually Differentiated Responses and Estrogen Receptors; Sex Differences in Neuroplasticity during Development and in Adults; and Sex Differences in Oxidative Stress, Non-Reproductive Cancers, and Longevity. The OSSD Programs Committee selected the symposia topics from among proposals submitted by the OSSD membership based on scientific merit, relevance of the subject matter, inclusion of basic and clinical speakers, prior topics covered in recent OSSD programs, and suggestions from the survey conducted after the previous meeting. In addition to the keynote lectures and symposia, there are two afternoon poster sessions scheduled, which will be arranged around topics covered in these symposia and will highlight the work of new investigators and trainees. The size (~150 people) and the organization of this meeting provide an excellent opportunity for networking opportunities and interactive discussions. Based on attendance at the previous three annual meetings we expect approximately two thirds of the participants to be established investigators and a third to be new investigators. Funds are requested to support the travel and lodging costs for the Keynote and Capstone speakers, registration fees for invited speakers, audiovisual equipment and meeting room rental costs, and support for junior investigator travel and awards. The annual meeting program, including speaker and poster abstracts will be made freely available on the OSSD website (www.ossdweb.org). We will partner with the University of Michigan to organize this event and will also request support from the National Science Foundation, as well as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and from private foundations. We anticipate being able to secure several sources of funding for this conference. Approval for Continuing Medical Education credits has been received for this meeting. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This is a request for partial funding support for the fourth annual OSSD meeting (Organization for the Study of Sex Differences), to be held June 3 - 5, 2010 in Ann Arbor, MI. OSSD is a new scientific membership society with a mission to enhance the knowledge of the biological basis of sex/gender differences in human health and disease by facilitating interdisciplinary communication and collaboration among scientists and clinicians from diverse backgrounds.

说明（由申请人提供）：本申请是请求部分资金，以支持性别差异研究组织 (OSSD) 第四届年会，该会议将于 2010 年 6 月 3 日至 5 日在密歇根州安娜堡举行。 OSSD 是一个科学会员制协会，成立于 2006 年，与妇女健康研究协会合作。 OSSD 的使命是通过促进来自不同科学和专业背景的科学家和临床医生之间的跨学科交流与合作，增强对健康和疾病中性别差异的生物学基础的了解。 OSSD 年会为科学家提供了一个论坛，探讨人类和模型系统的遗传、分子、细胞、器官和系统水平上的性别差异研究。年会包括一场主题开幕演讲、一场闭幕式顶点演讲、七场独立研讨会和一场新研究者研讨会。 2010年会议的专题讨论会主题包括：进化论和死亡率性别差异的起源；亲本特异性基因组印记的遗传和环境决定因素；疼痛、其治疗以及性的影响；产前皮质激素：呼吸系统个体发育和功能的性别差异；性别差异反应和雌激素受体；发育期间和成人神经可塑性的性别差异；氧化应激、非生殖癌症和长寿方面的性别差异。 OSSD 计划委员会根据科学价值、主题的相关性、基础和临床发言人的纳入、近期 OSSD 计划涵盖的先前主题以及上次会议后进行的调查的建议，从 OSSD 成员提交的提案中选择研讨会主题。除了主题演讲和研讨会之外，还安排了两次下午的海报会议，这些会议将围绕这些研讨会涵盖的主题进行安排，并将重点介绍新研究人员和受训人员的工作。本次会议的规模（约 150 人）和组织为交流机会和互动讨论提供了绝佳的机会。根据前三届年会的出席情况，我们预计大约三分之二的参与者将是已成立的调查员，三分之一是新的调查员。请求资金用于支持主旨演讲和顶点演讲者的差旅和住宿费用、受邀演讲者的注册费、视听设备和会议室租赁费用，以及对初级研究员差旅和奖励的支持。年会日程，包括演讲者和海报摘要将在 OSSD 网站 (www.ossdweb.org) 上免费提供。我们将与密歇根大学合作组织这次活动，并将请求美国国家科学基金会、制药和生物技术公司以及私人基金会的支持。我们预计能够为本次会议获得多种资金来源。本次会议已收到继续医学教育学分的批准。 公共卫生相关性：这是为第四届 OSSD 年度会议（性别差异研究组织）提供部分资金支持的请求，该会议将于 2010 年 6 月 3 日至 5 日在密歇根州安娜堡举行。 OSSD 是一个新的科学会员协会，其使命是通过促进来自不同背景的科学家和临床医生之间的跨学科交流与合作，增强对人类健康和疾病中性别差异的生物学基础的了解。
