Reproductive Sciences Symposium

描述(由申请者提供)：生殖研究学会(SSR)每年举办一次科学会议，来自美国和其他国家的1000多名科学家和实习生参加。会议的目标是介绍生殖科学的最新研究成果，并为科学对话和受训人员的专业发展提供最佳环境。这项申请是对2003年会议和随后的会议至2007年的部分支助的竞争性续展。2003年的会议将于7月19日至22日在俄亥俄州辛辛那提举行，在荷兰希尔顿广场和千禧酒店和萨宾会议中心举行，由辛辛那提大学和辛辛那提动物园主办。特别要求提供以下支助：a)主旨演讲人；b)1名主席专题讨论会演讲人；c)2名最先进的演讲人；d)15名非SSR成员的Minisymposa演讲者；e)免除作为SSR成员的Minisymposa演讲人的注册费。还要求为30名有记录的有需要的受训人员提供旅行奖励，这些受训人员没有得到核安全评估机构的支持。2003年会议将包括丰富多样的研究专题，以吸引广泛的生殖科学科学家。伦敦帝国理工学院医学院的罗伯特·温斯顿将发表主旨演讲。他将就辅助生殖技术的现状、好处和对风险的担忧发表讲话。总统座谈会的题目是“生殖与环境”。Sally Perreault和Louis Guillette将就环境污染物对人类生殖健康和动物种群生殖生物学的影响发表演讲。最先进的讲座将包括S.K.Dey关于植入作为布鲁斯·莫尔顿纪念碑的讲座，以及Paolo Sassone-Corsi和Benita Katzenellenbogen关于表观遗传学主题的讲座。15个Minisymposa，每个有3个演讲者(总共45个演讲者)，将就生物医学、临床、动物科学、野生动物保护和环境部门的科学家当前感兴趣的主题举行。口头讲台演讲(168次)和海报(约430次或更多)将突出受训者和其他人的个人研究贡献。受训人员还担任平台会议的联合主席。为鼓励任职人数不足的少数群体参加会议的各个方面作出了具体努力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR) holds an annual scientific meeting attended by over 1000 scientists and trainees from the U. S. and other countries. The goals of the meeting are the presentation of state of the art research in reproductive sciences, and providing an optimal environment for scientific dialogue, and for professional development of Trainees. This application is a competing renewal for partial support for the 2003 meeting and the ensuing meetings through 2007. The 2003 meeting will be held in Cincinnati, OH (July 19- 22), at the Hilton Netherland Plaza and Millennium Hotels and Sabin Convention Center and will be hosted by the University of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Zoo. Support is requested specifically for travel, registration and meeting expenses: a) Keynote speaker; b) one President's Symposium speaker; c) two State-of-the-Art speakers; d) fifteen Minisymposia speakers, who are not SSR members; and e) funds for waiver of registration fee for Minisymposia speakers who are members of SSR. Support is requested also for travel awards for 30 Trainees with documented need and who are not supported by a NRSA. The 2003 meeting will consist of a rich diversity of research topics selected to appeal to a wide range of scientists in the reproductive sciences. The Keynote address will be given by Robert Winston of the London Imperial College School of Medicine. He will speak on the current status of Assisted Reproductive Technology, the benefits and concerns for risk. The President's Symposium is entitled, "Reproduction and the Environment." Sally Perreault and Louis Guillette will speak on the impact of environmental contaminants on human reproductive health and on the reproductive biology of animal populations. State-of-the-Art lectures will feature a lecture by S.K. Dey on implantation as a memorial to Bruce Moulton and lectures by Paolo Sassone-Corsi and by Benita Katzenellenbogen on the theme of epigenetics. Fifteen Minisymposia, each featuring three speakers (total of 45 speakers), will be held on subjects of current interest to scientists in biomedical, clinical, animal science, wildlife preservation, and environmental sectors. Oral Platform talks (168) and Posters (~430 or more) will highlight individual research contributions by Trainees and others. Trainees also serve as Co-Chairs of Platform sessions. Specific efforts are made to encourage the participation of under-represented minorities in all aspects of the meeting.
