 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks funding for travel costs to allow the attendance of 12 trainees or new investigators from the USA at the 2016 Aspen/Snowmass Perinatal Biology Conference. The longstanding tradition of perinatal research in the US underpins our knowledge of the physiologic basis of fetal development. Cellular and molecular techniques incorporated into investigation in the last 20 years have allowed in depth understanding of the developmental basis of fetal physiology and the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, IUGR, diabetes and premature delivery, situations associated with perinatal morbidity and mortality. There has been a burgeoning recognition that life in utero is associated with the development of disease in adult life, i.e. the developmental origins of health and adult disease or fetal programming. This has brought renewed interest in perinatal physiology. The perinatal research community is multidisciplinary; bringing together clinicians and basic scientists interested in maternal, fetal, and placental physiology and a substantial cadre of agricultural animal scientists who perform comparative studies of great relevance to human physiology and development. It also has a strong tradition of training young basic and clinician scientists. A vital part of their training experience is the opportunity to present work n venues where they can interact with senior scientists and receive the benefit of mentorship from role models. This meeting will feature presentations from maternal, fetal, placental and agricultural animal researchers around an integrated theme of "Interconnecting animal and human systems to understand life-long disease." The meeting will be 3 and 1/2 days with multiple oral plenary sessions including new investigators. Plenary sessions will be accompanied by several interactive workshop sessions addressing key questions and challenges facing young investigators in perinatal biology. Two poster discussion sessions are scheduled and posters will be displayed for the entire meeting to allow time for in-depth discussion of work. Prizes will be awarded for the best poster presentations by trainees or new investigators. Trainees and new investigators will be selected based on review of submitted first author abstracts by the Scientific Advisory Committee for award of travel funds. There has always been a high proportion (over 50% at our last meeting) of women attendees at previous meetings and women speakers and session chairs at this meeting are well represented. Our minority representation is around 15%, and we will continue efforts to improve this number, especially with the designation of a minimum of 33% of the requested budget used for travel by underrepresented minority young investigators. Our selected venue is compliant with the American's with Disabilities Act and also provides childcare and numerous family activities to facilitate attendance by all individuals.

 描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求资助差旅费，以便 12 名来自美国的学员或新研究人员能够参加 2016 年阿斯彭/斯诺马斯围产期生物学会议。美国围产期研究的悠久传统巩固了我们对胎儿发育生理基础的了解。过去 20 年，细胞和分子技术融入研究中，使人们能够深入了解胎儿生理学的发育基础以及先兆子痫、IUGR、糖尿病和早产以及与围产期发病率和死亡率相关的情况的病理生理学。人们逐渐认识到，子宫内的生活与成年后疾病的发展有关，即健康和成人疾病或胎儿编程的发育起源。这引起了人们对围产期生理学的新兴趣。围产期研究界是多学科的；汇集了对母体、胎儿和胎盘生理学感兴趣的临床医生和基础科学家，以及进行与人类生理和发育密切相关的比较研究的大量农业动物科学家骨干。它还具有培养年轻基础科学家和临床科学家的悠久传统。他们培训经历的一个重要部分是有机会在场所展示工作，在那里他们可以与资深科学家互动，并从榜样的指导中受益。本次会议将围绕“将动物和人类系统联系起来以了解终身疾病”这一综合主题，由母体、胎儿、胎盘和农业动物研究人员进行演讲。会议为期 3 又 1/2 天，包括多次口头全体会议，其中包括新研究者。全体会议将伴随几场互动研讨会，讨论围产期生物学年轻研究者面临的关键问题和挑战。安排了两次海报讨论会，整个会议将展示海报，以便有时间深入讨论工作。学员或新研究者将颁发最佳海报展示奖。科学咨询委员会将根据对提交的第一作者摘要的审查来选择受训人员和新的研究人员，并授予差旅费。在之前的会议中，女性与会者的比例一直很高（上次会议时超过 50%），而本次会议的女性发言人和会议主席也有很好的代表。我们的少数族裔代表性约为 15%，我们将继续努力提高这一数字，特别是指定至少 33% 的请求预算用于代表性不足的少数族裔年轻调查员的差旅。我们选择的场地符合美国残疾人法案，还提供儿童保育和众多家庭活动，以方便所有人参加。
