Society for Pediatric and Perinatal Epidemiologic Research

描述（由申请人提供）：儿科和围产期流行病学研究协会的目标是促进生殖，围产期和儿科研究。这项研究包括对从受孕到青春期影响产妇健康和儿童健康与发展的任何因素的研究。为了促进这项研究，我们的任务是召开一次协会年会，包括一次执行委员会会议和一次会员会议。年会通常与流行病学研究学会年会在同一时间和同一地点举行。申请这笔拨款是为了继续支持学生奖和亨氏贝伦德斯国际旅行奖，以及在年度会议上的主题演讲。学生奖的目的是表彰生殖、围产期和儿科流行病学研究方面的杰出奖学金，并鼓励年轻的研究人员在这一领域建立职业生涯，让他们接触该领域的主要研究人员，并随后为未来建立一个网络。海因茨·贝伦德斯国际旅行奖旨在鼓励北美以外的研究人员，特别是来自发展中国家的研究人员向学会提交他们的工作，从而使这些研究人员融入更大的世界生殖、围产期和儿科流行病学家社区。主题演讲每年由该领域的知名高级研究员发表，总结该领域的最新进展，指出当前的研究需求，启发新的项目和方向，提供历史的视角，并激励年轻的研究者推进该领域。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the Society for Pediatric and Perinatal Epidemiologic Research shall be to foster reproductive, perinatal and pediatric research. This research includes the study of any factors that influence maternal health and the health and development of children, from their conception through their adolescence. In order to foster this research it is our mandate to hold an annual meeting of the Society to include both a meeting of the Executive Committee and a meeting of the members. The annual meeting is normally held around the same time and in the same place as the annual meeting of the Society for Epidemiologic Research. This grant is being requested to enable the continued support of the Student Prize and the Heinz Berendes International Travel award, as well as the keynote address at the Annual meeting. The purpose of the Student Prize award is to recognize outstanding scholarship in reproductive, perinatal and pediatric epidemiological research and to encourage young investigators to establish careers in this field by exposing them to the fields' leading investigators and subsequently establishing a network for the future. The Heinz Berendes International Travel award is intended to encourage investigators from outside of North America, particularly those from developing countries, to submit their work to the Society, thereby integrating these investigators into the larger world community of reproductive, perinatal and pediatric epidemiologists. The keynote address is delivered annually by a renowned senior investigator in the field to summarize the state-of-the-art in the field, to point out current research needs, to inspire new projects and directions, to provide historical perspective, as well as to stimulate young investigators to advance the field.
