Developmental Psychobiology Symposia

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的是提供一个场地，培养新的想法，概念，并在发展心理生物学的合作。我们的目标是促进综合性讨论，并通过聚集来自不同学术背景的研究科学家，包括但不限于行为学，心理生物学，神经生物学，神经遗传学和分子生物学，介绍尖端的方法来研究行为发展。我们将通过在国际发展心理生物学学会年会上举行的重点专题研讨会来实现这些目标。每年举办一次研讨会，连续举办5年。每场研讨会将由三到四名发言者和一名讨论者组成。专题讨论会将强调跨学科的互动，由来自与发展心理生物学无关的学科的发言者，以及来自与发展心理生物学有关的学科的发言者，但他们通常不参加ISDP会议。演讲者将通过持续25至45分钟的数据驱动演讲分享他们独特的观点。讨论者将通过小组讨论促进发言者和听众之间的互动。由于专题讨论会期间不同时举行会议，专题讨论会将吸引最多的成员出席。为了扩大每次研讨会的影响，我们将在专注于婴儿发育，神经科学和神经遗传学的关键科学会议上广泛宣传。会议结束后，由主席提交的研讨会摘要与发言者的投入，将发表在杂志上发展心理生物学与我们的社会网页上公布的细节。 2003年ISDP会议将在神经科学学会会议之前在路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行。2002年在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的ISDP会议（即将举行）和2001年在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行的ISDP会议的摘要提交和注册数量都创下了纪录。我们将我们的成功部分归功于我们近年来主办的邀请演讲和研讨会所涵盖的广泛主题。 本提案要求为今后五年专题讨论会发言人的酬金和差旅费提供支助。获得多年支持将有助于在各个领域的研究人员中建立一种参加ISDP会议的文化，这将在请求支持期结束后很长一段时间内延长赠款的影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this application is to provide a venue for cultivating novel ideas, concepts, and collaborations in developmental psychobiology. Our objective is to facilitate integrative discussions and to introduce cutting edge approaches to the study of behavioral development by assembling research scientists from diverse academic backgrounds including, but not limited to, ethology, psychobiology, neurobiology, neurogenetics, and molecular biology. We will accomplish these goals through a highlighted, topical symposium to be held at the annual meeting of the International Society for Developmental Psychobiology. One symposium will be held each year for 5 consecutive years. Each symposium will be comprised of three to four speakers and a discussant. The symposia will emphasize interdisciplinary interaction by featuring speakers from disciplines unrelated to developmental psychobiology, as well as speakers from disciplines related to developmental psychobiology but who do not ordinarily attend the ISDP meeting. Speakers will share their unique perspectives through data-driven talks lasting 25 to 45 minutes. The discussant will facilitate interaction among the speakers and members of the audience through a panel discussion. Because there will be no concurrent meeting sessions during the symposium, the symposium will draw maximal attendance by the membership. To broaden the impact of each symposium, we will advertise broadly at key scientific meetings focussed on infant development, neuroscience, and neurogenetics. Following the meeting, a summary of the symposium, submitted by the chair with input from the speakers, will be published in the journal Developmental Psychobiology with details posted on our society webpage. The 2003 ISDP meeting will be held in New Orleans, LA, just prior to the Society for Neuroscience meeting. The 2002 ISDP meeting in Orlando, FL (upcoming) and the 2001 ISDP meeting in San Diego, CA, are marked by record numbers of abstract submissions and registrations. We attribute our success, in part, to the broad range of topics covered in invited addresses and symposia that we have hosted in recent years. The present proposal requests support for honoraria and travel expenses for symposium speakers for the next 5 years. Obtaining multiple year support will help to establish a culture of attendance at the ISDP meetings among researchers from various fields, which will prolong the impact of the grant long after the period of support requested.
