Society for Pediatric and Perinatal Epidemiologic Research

描述（由申请人提供）：儿科和围产期流行病学研究协会的目标是促进生殖，围产期和儿科研究。这项研究包括研究影响产妇健康以及儿童从受孕到青春期的健康和发育的任何因素。为了促进这项研究，我们的任务是举行一次年会，包括执行委员会会议和成员会议。年会通常在流行病学研究学会之前举行，并在同一地点举行。这项补助金的申请是为了继续支持学生奖和海因茨贝伦德斯国际旅游奖，以及在年会上的主旨演讲。学生奖的目的是表彰在生殖，围产期和儿科流行病学研究的杰出奖学金，并鼓励年轻的研究人员，随后建立一个网络的未来。海因茨贝伦德斯国际旅行奖旨在鼓励来自北美以外的研究人员，特别是来自发展中国家的研究人员，向该协会提交他们的工作，从而将这些研究人员融入更大的生殖，围产期和儿科流行病学家的世界社区。该主题演讲每年由该领域的知名高级研究员发表，总结该领域的最新技术，指出当前的研究需求，激发新的项目和方向，提供历史视角，并激励年轻的研究人员推进该领域。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the Society for Pediatric and Perinatal Epidemiologic Research is to foster reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric research. This research includes the study of any factors that influence maternal health and the health and development of children, from their conception through their adolescence. In order to foster this research it is our mandate to hold an Annual Meeting of the Society to include both a meeting of the Executive Committee and a meeting of its members. The Annual Meetings are normally held before and in the same place as the Society for Epidemiologic Research. This grant is being requested to enable the continued support of the Student Prize and the Heinz Berendes International Travel Award, as well as the keynote address at the Annual Meeting. The purpose of the Student Prize is to recognize outstanding scholarship in reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric epidemiologic research and to encourage young investigators and subsequently establishing a network for the future. The Heinz Berendes International Travel award is intended to encourage investigators from outside of North America, particularly those from developing countries, to submit their work to the Society, thereby integrating these investigators into the larger world community of reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric epidemiologists. The keynote address is delivered annually by a renowned senior investigator in the field to summarize the state-of-the-art in the field, to point out current research needs, to inspire new projects and directions, to provide historical perspective, as well as to stimulate young investigators to advance the field.
