International Meeting for the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology, Lisbon, Portugal, July 2004

这项资助将为参加将于2004年7月26日至30日举行的第八届行为神经内分泌学会（SBN）年会的受训者提供支持。会议将由葡萄牙里斯本Calouste Gulbenkian基金会高级心理学应用研究所综合行为生物学实验室生态行为学研究小组主持。SBN的创始原则是对本科生，研究生和博士后的承诺。这些人是科学事业的未来，一年一度的SBN会议是一个机会，可以加强他们的教育，奖励他们的努力，感谢他们的贡献，并为他们进入学术界提供机会。SBN是一个多学科的国际学会，致力于促进激素、大脑和行为方面的研究和教育。一年一度的SBN会议汇集了来自不同领域的科学家，包括生理和发展心理学、行为生态学、动物行为学、时间生物学、精神神经内分泌学、神经科学、细胞和分子内分泌学、发育生物学和遗传学。特别是，该协会鼓励将细胞和分子概念整合到功能框架中。本提案资金将用于三个目的：(1)青年研究者研讨会，由8名最有才华的博士后和高级研究生在会上发表演讲（通过竞争和用于支付参加会议费用的资金选择）；(2)向展示海报的学生和博士后提供较小的旅行奖励（也由竞赛选出），以及(3)两个专业发展研讨会。会议上的演讲摘要和海报将发表在《激素与行为》杂志上，而数据的完整手稿则通常发表在各种专注于神经科学、内分泌学和/或行为的期刊上。

This grant will provide support for trainees at the 8th annual meeting of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN) to be held July 26-30, 2004. The meeting will be hosted by the Eco-Ethology Research Unit, Integrative Behavioural Biology Lab, of the Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, Portugal. A founding principle of the SBN is a commitment to undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows. These individuals are the future of scientific enterprise, and the annual SBN conference is an opportunity to enhance their education, reward their efforts, appreciate their contributions, and as they enter the academic community. The SBN is a multidisciplinary, international society that promotes research and education concerning hormones, the brain and behavior. The annual SBN conference brings together scientists from diverse fields, including physiological and developmental psychology, behavioral ecology, animal behavior, chronobiology, psychoneuroendocrinology, neuroscience, cellular and molecular endocrinology, developmental biology, and genetics. In particular, the society encourages the integration of cellular and molecular concepts into a functional framework. The funds from this proposal will be used for three purposes: (1) a Young Investigator's Symposium, in which eight of the most talented postdocs and senior graduate students will present talks (selected by competition and funding used to defray expenses for attending the meeting); (2) smaller travel awards to students and postdocs presenting posters (also selected by competition), and (3) two professional development workshops. The abstracts from talks and posters presented at the conference will be published in Hormones and Behavior, and full manuscripts from the data are then commonly published in a variety of journals focusing on neuroscience, endocrinology and/or behavior.
