 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For the past 15 years, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development has organized ten Structural Birth Defects Meetings with the goal of bringing together investigators funded through the NICHD Birth Defects Initiative. The overriding goal of these meetings has been to foster a collaborative environment for the exchange of research findings to enhance the translation of basic knowledge and insights from functional genomic studies into the development of new, innovative, and efficacious strategies for the molecular diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human structural birth defects. Funded investigators spanned multiple disciplines and included developmental biologists, cell biologists, biophysicists, clinicians, genomicists, geneticists, epidemiologists, and biostatisticians and bioinformaticians. At any given meeting, 50-60 investigators attended as well as relevant NIH staff. At the 10th Structural Birth Defects Meeting in December 2014, a decision was made to transition the planning of future meetings from NICHD staff to the structural birth defects research community opening the way for attendance by others from the research community and, in particular, trainees. This application seeks funding for the 11th Structural Birth Defects Meeting to be held April 3-5, 2017 in Bethesda, MD at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Conference Center under the sponsorship of the Society for Developmental Biology (SDB). The intent is to more than double the size of the meeting while maintaining the interactive, multidisciplinary nature of the presentations and discussions. There are no concurrently running sessions and all participants are expected to attend all the presentations. The format of the meeting consists predominately of short presentations of hypothesis driven findings grouped into several topic areas followed by discussion. As has become the tradition, a keynote speaker is invited from an area not necessarily mainstream to birth defects research but of high relevance to the field thus stimulating discussion and exchange of new ideas. A second speaker is invited to introduce a topic which will then be discussed more formally by a roundtable panel as well as all participants. For the first time poster sessions will be held to facilitate participation of as man trainees as possible. These will be held during extended lunch breaks on two days allowing for adequate participation by all. Informal evening activities will engage senior scientists and trainees to encourage mentoring and networking.

 描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的15年里，尤妮斯肯尼迪施莱佛国家儿童健康与人类发展研究所组织了10次结构性出生缺陷会议，目的是汇集通过NICHD出生缺陷倡议资助的研究人员。这些会议的首要目标是促进研究成果交流的合作环境，以加强从功能基因组研究的基本知识和见解转化为新的，创新的，有效的策略，用于分子诊断，治疗和预防人类结构性出生缺陷。受资助的研究人员跨越多个学科，包括发育生物学家、细胞生物学家、生物药理学家、临床医生、基因组学家、遗传学家、流行病学家、生物统计学家和生物信息学家。在任何一次会议上，都有50-60名研究人员以及相关的NIH工作人员参加。在2014年12月的第10次结构性出生缺陷会议上，决定将未来会议的规划从NICHD工作人员转移到结构性出生缺陷研究界，为研究界的其他人，特别是受训人员的出席开辟道路。本申请旨在为将于2017年4月3日至5日在马里兰州贝塞斯达举行的第11届结构性出生缺陷会议提供资金，该会议将在发育生物学学会（SDB）的赞助下在美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）会议中心举行。目的是使会议规模扩大一倍以上，同时保持发言和讨论的互动和多学科性质。没有同时进行的会议，所有与会者都应出席所有的专题介绍。会议的形式主要包括假设驱动的研究结果的简短介绍，分为几个主题领域，然后进行讨论。作为一种传统，邀请一位来自出生缺陷研究领域的主旨发言人，该领域不一定是出生缺陷研究的主流，但与该领域高度相关，从而激发了新思想的讨论和交流。邀请第二位发言者介绍一个主题，然后由圆桌小组和所有与会者进行更正式的讨论。首次将举行海报会议，以促进尽可能多的学员参与。这些活动将在两天的午餐时间内举行，以便所有人都能充分参与。非正式的晚间活动将邀请资深科学家和受训人员参加，以鼓励指导和建立联系。
