Travel Award for Beginning Women Endocrinologists: San Francisco, CA; June 1996

9630440 Ryan内分泌学是生物学中一个快速发展的领域。对激素对细胞和机体功能的作用以及细胞通讯机制的研究，在生物学上取得了许多重大进展。这门学科现在跨越了研究兴趣的多样性，从研究由类固醇激素与细胞内受体相互作用引起的细胞核分子事件到理解激素对行为的调节。将于1996年6月在加州旧金山举行的国际内分泌学大会为研究人员提供了一个机制，无论老少，都可以聚集在一起了解这个快速发展领域的最新进展。通过这个奖项，女性内分泌学会将资助10名年轻女性研究人员参加国际大会。出席这次大会将成为新研究者向同行展示他们的数据并讨论该领域最新进展的机制。此外，它还将为年轻的女性研究人员提供一种机制，使她们能够与内分泌学领域更资深的女性研究人员建立关系，从而帮助她们在未来成功地走上职业道路。参加这次会议将对年轻研究者以及其他与会研究者产生积极影响。

9630440 Ryan The field of endocrinology is a rapidly advancing area of biology. A number of highly significant advances in biology have been derived from investigations into the action of hormones on cellular and organismal function, and the mechanisms used for cellular communication. This discipline now spans the great diversity of research interests from investigations into the molecular events in cell nuclei caused by steroid hormone interactions with intracellular receptors to understanding hormonal regulation of behavior. The International Congress of Endocrinology to be held in San Francisco, CA in June, 1996 represents a mechanism for investigators, young and old, to come together to learn about the latest advances in this rapidly evolving field. With this award, the Women in Endocrinology will support the travel of 10 young female investigators to attend the International Congress. Attendance at this Congress will be a mechanism for new investieators to present their data to their peers and to discuss the recent advances in this field. In addition, it will provide young female investigators with a mechanism to develop relationships with more senior female investigators in endocrinology, who can help them in the future successfully navigate a career path. Attendance at this meeting will positively impact the young investigator, as well as the other investigators in attendance.
