Annual Meeting of the Neurobehavioral Teratology Society

这一请求是为了支持，以帮助支付费用的年度会议的神经行为 美国畸形学会（NBTS）5年。NBTS年会强调了新的数据和理论 关于神经行为畸形学和中枢神经系统疾病的发育起源的结构， 从发育暴露于药物、有毒物质、环境污染物（包括食物） 污染物），压力，基因突变，表观遗传变化，以及这些因素的相互作用。影响 在人类，动物模型，和神经机制的研究。建设问题和 翻译的有效性被认为是，以及有关药物和 其他化学物质影响大脑和行为。2013年会议的主题是方法的进展， 发展障碍科学的进展，并提出了一些领域（例如，精神分裂症）作为问题 重要性，因为最近的数据表明，神经精神疾病可能有胚胎和胎儿起源。 这次会议汇集了发展神经科学家，发展神经毒理学家，发展 心理学家，发育流行病学家，畸形学家，发育毒理学家，医学遗传学家， 医生，遗传顾问，以及来自学术界的发展环境科学家，工业， 政府的NBTS与畸形学学会（TS）和畸形学信息组织举行会议 产生协同作用的专家（奥蒂斯）。目标1：支持2名研究生的会议旅行奖， 博士后研究员，高级本科生或研究助理，以提供他们的数据与豁免 注册费和折扣房价。会议奖金为每人700美元。该协会通过以下方式与之相匹配： 从应付款中支付2笔会议差旅费，每年共支付4笔差旅费。目标2：支持1新 每年的调查员奖。协会免除接受者的注册费，并支付旅行和 与会议有关的开支（1100美元来自这项补助金，余额（2000 -2500美元）来自协会。目的 3：为非会员发言者提供差旅费支持。NBTS通常邀请8-10名非会员 演讲者每年我们要求2,500美元来支付这笔费用。2013年外部发言人的估计费用为 15000美元因此，所要求的2，500元捐款将是部分资助，以协助该会维持 高质量的非会员发言人的参与。

This request is for support to help defray the costs of the Annual Meeting of the Neurobehavioral Teratology Society (NBTS) for 5 years. The annual meeting of NBTS highlights new data and theoretical constructs concerning neurobehavioral teratology and the developmental origins of CNS disorders that result from developmental exposure to drugs, toxic substances, environmental contaminants (including food contaminants), stressors, genetic mutations, epigenetic changes, and the interaction of these factors. Effects in humans, animal models, and neural studies of mechanisms are presented. Issues of construct and translational validity are considered, as well as developments concerning the mechanisms of how drugs and other chemicals affect brain and behavior. The 2013 meeting features topics on advances in methods, advances in the science of developmental disorders, and brings forward areas (e.g., schizophrenia) as issues of importance since recent data suggest that neuropsychiatric disorders may have embryonic and fetal origins. The meeting brings together developmental neuroscientists, developmental neurotoxicologists, developmental psychologists, developmental epidemiologists, teratologists, developmental toxicologists, medical geneticists, physicians, genetic councilors, and developmental environmental scientists from academia, industry, and government. NBTS meets with the Teratology Society (TS) and the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS) producing synergy. Aim 1: Support Conference Travel Awards for 2 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, advanced undergraduates or research assistants to present their data with waiver of registration fee and discounted room rates. Conference Awards are $700 each. The Society matches this by supporting 2 conference travel awards from its dues for a total of 4 awards per year. Aim 2: Support 1 New Investigator Award per year. The Society waives the recipient's registration fee and pays for travel and meeting-related expenses ($1100 coming from this grant and the balance ($2000-2500) from the Society. Aim 3: Provide support for travel expenses for non-member speakers. NBTS typically invites 8-10 non-member speakers per year. We request $2,500 toward this cost. The 2013 outside speaker estimated costs will be ~$15,000. Hence, the $2,500 contribution requested will be partial support to help the Society maintain the involvement of high quality non-member speakers.
