DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested for partial support of the Society for Developmental Biology's (SDB) annual meetings for the next five years (2014-2018). The Society has organized the major meeting in developmental biology for the past 75 years (missing two during World War II). Since the annual meeting changed its format from a single theme symposium to an open, inclusive meeting in 1993, the meeting size has grown three-fold (from 263 in 1994 to an average of 760 in the last 10 years). By allowing presentations by students and postdoctoral fellows, we have increased the number of abstract submissions from less than 100 to an average of 600's in the last few years. The expansion to include cutting edge themes in developmental biology and related areas such as stem cell and regenerative biology, together with the fast technical advances that allowed investigators to find explanations to questions unanswered before also contributed to this growth in attendance, as well as its standing today in biomedical research and public interest. SDB was founded in 1939 and is today the major society devoted to this field, with over 2200 members worldwide, including undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior and established investigators, many of whom hold NIH grants and fellowships. The proposed meetings will continue the tradition of mixing poster presentations, plenary sessions, concurrent symposia, the Hilde Mangold Postdoctoral Symposium, the awards lectures, an education symposium and workshops on new technologies, education and current issues. In all sessions, a special effort is made to have a diversity of invited speakers in terms of: model organisms, experimental approaches, career stages, gender and racial/ethnic background. For the concurrent symposia at least four short talk slots are reserved per session for abstracts selected from submissions, with preference given to qualified junior investigators. The education symposium and workshop focus on topics such as effective teaching and mentoring strategies at university and pre-college levels, outreach to the lay public, as well as career-related issues. They also address bioethics of research, which is highly relevant to establishing national policies for research on stem cells and cloning, as well as public understanding of science, including evolution. Additional activities that enrich the annual meetings include: On alternating years we hold a Boot Camp for New Faculty or a Reboot Camp for Mid-career Faculty the day preceding and on the first day of the meeting for professional development of untenured and mid-career faculty, respectively. SDB's Professional Development and Education Committee is responsible for these workshops. Call for up to two SDB member organized Satellite Symposia are made and will continue to be made yearly to SDB members. These Symposia complement the offerings of the annual meeting and are held on the opening day of the meeting. These pre-meeting events have been well-attended throughout the last ten years and will continue during this proposal period. The next meeting, to be held at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA is a return to our previous tradition of meetings on university campuses, a practice no longer possible because only a few campuses have facilities large enough for our growing meeting needs. It will also celebrate the 75th anniversary of founding of the Society and as such, sessions highlighting history and breakthroughs will be included in the program. The opening Presidential Symposium will address What have genetic model organisms taught us, where experts will give us an overview of what each organism has contributed to advancing our understanding of developmental processes. The two plenary and nine concurrent sessions will bring reports on the latest discoveries in developmental mechanisms, such as gene regulation, genomics, cell polarity, migration and differentiation, invasion and cancer, mechanical influences, tissue engineering, morphogenesis, organogenesis, evo-devo, organismal interactions, neural development. This meeting will be followed by meetings in Snowbird, Utah, Central region, West and East coast, as rotation throughout the various regions eases the travel burden for participants in the different zones of the country. Efforts will be continually made to find venues of easy access and as economical as possible, including keeping the tradition of university campuses as venue for their collegial atmosphere so cherished by our members.

描述（由申请人提供）：资金要求部分支持社会发育生物学（SDB）年会在未来五年（2014-2018）。该协会在过去的75年里组织了发育生物学的主要会议（在第二次世界大战期间错过了两次）。自1993年年度会议从单一主题专题讨论会改为公开、包容性会议以来，会议规模增加了三倍（从1994年的263次增加到过去10年的平均760次）。通过允许学生和博士后研究员进行演讲，我们在过去几年中将摘要提交的数量从不到100个增加到平均600个。扩展到包括发展生物学和相关领域的前沿主题，如干细胞和再生生物学，以及快速的技术进步，使研究人员能够找到以前未回答的问题的解释，也有助于这种增长出席，以及它今天在生物医学研究和公共利益中的地位。SDB成立于1939年，是当今致力于该领域的主要协会，在全球拥有2200多名成员，包括本科生和研究生，博士后研究员，初级和成熟的研究人员，其中许多人拥有NIH赠款和奖学金。拟议的会议将继续混合海报介绍，全体会议，并行研讨会，希尔德曼戈尔德博士后研讨会，颁奖讲座，教育研讨会和新技术，教育和当前问题的研讨会的传统。在所有会议上，特别努力邀请不同的发言者：模式生物、实验方法、职业阶段、性别和种族/民族背景。对于同时举行的专题讨论会，每届会议至少保留四个简短的发言时间，供从提交的材料中选出摘要，优先考虑合格的初级研究人员。教育研讨会和研讨会的重点是大学和大学预科水平的有效教学和辅导策略、对普通公众的宣传以及职业相关问题等主题。它们还涉及研究的生物伦理学，这与制定干细胞和克隆研究的国家政策以及公众对科学（包括进化论）的理解高度相关。额外活动 丰富的年会包括：在交替的年份，我们举行了一个新的教师靴子营或一个重新靴子营中期职业教师的会议的前一天和第一天的专业发展的非终身教职员工和中期职业教师，分别。康体局的专业发展及教育委员会负责举办这些工作坊。已呼吁最多两次由SDB成员组织的卫星研讨会，并将继续每年向SDB成员发出呼吁。这些专题讨论会补充了年会的内容，并在会议开幕当天举行。在过去十年中，这些会前活动一直受到广泛关注，并将在本提案期内继续开展。下一次会议将在华盛顿州西雅图的华盛顿大学举行，这是我们以前在大学校园举行会议的传统的回归，这种做法不再可能，因为只有少数校园有足够大的设施来满足我们不断增长的会议需求。它还将庆祝协会成立75周年，因此，突出历史和突破的会议将被列入计划。开幕式总统研讨会将解决遗传模式生物教我们什么，专家们将向我们概述每个生物体对促进我们对发育过程的理解做出的贡献。两个全体会议和九个并行会议将带来关于发育机制的最新发现的报告，如基因调控，基因组学，细胞极性，迁移和分化，入侵和癌症，机械影响，组织工程，形态发生，器官发生，evo-devo，生物体相互作用，神经发育。本次会议之后，将在雪鸟，犹他州，中部地区，西部和东部海岸举行会议，因为在各个地区的轮换减轻了与会者在该国不同地区的旅行负担。我们将继续努力寻找尽可能方便和经济的场地，包括保持大学校园作为我们成员所珍视的大学氛围的传统。
