SGI Annual Meeting: Fostering a Multidisciplinary Approach to Research in Women'

描述(申请人提供)：作为涉及生殖生物学和医学的临床医生和研究人员的卓越的国内和国际专业组织，妇科调查学会(SGI)在解决这些问题和提供一个交流思想、展示最好的科学、网络和指导的论坛方面发挥着关键作用。SGI是该领域中唯一一个代表妇女健康所有领域致力于转化生殖医学的临床医生和科学研究人员的组织。这项建议寻求资金支持未来的SGI年度科学会议，与NICHD的工作人员合作，实现以下具体目标：1)通过指导和支持，在生殖科学的各个方面向学员/青年研究人员提供指导，并通过提供教育、互动和有功激励使他们能够参加SGI年度科学会议；2)招募SGI年度会议的杰出嘉宾演讲者，其研究体现了妇女健康/生殖生物学集体领域的尖端科学，以便使我们的学员接触到在这些领域进行的开创性研究。第58届SGI年度科学会议将于2011年3月在佛罗里达州迈阿密举行，主题为“生殖和再生医学”，这一主题贯穿整个为期4天的会议。这项提议的目的是继续支持会议突出的科学内容，并吸引年轻的研究人员出席并加入这个独特的协会。在整个会议期间，强调受训人员对研究的贡献；将举行全体会议，介绍排名最高的受训人员摘要，并向排名最高的摘要的作者颁发奖项。SGI理事会成立了一个新的特别培训委员会，为SGI成员内的受训人员提供支持性基础设施服务。这些努力的理由是，通过向社会中的年轻研究人员介绍妇女健康方面的杰出跨学科研究，将鼓励更多的受训人员从事这些领域的研究，并促进转化生殖科学。 公共卫生相关性：这项建议的基本原理是支持妇科调查学会(SGI)的年会，以促进富有成效的思想交流，保持受训人员和青年研究人员以及资深科学家可以在学术环境中介绍他们的工作的环境。SGI是这一领域的主要组织，也是唯一一个代表妇女健康所有领域致力于转化生殖医学的临床医生和科学研究人员的组织。我们的目标是对年轻研究人员的培训产生重大影响，以促进生殖科学的发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As the preeminent national and international professional organization for clinicians and researchers involved in reproductive biology and medicine, the Society for Gynecologic Investigation (SGI) plays a critical role in addressing these issues and providing a forum for exchange of ideas, presentation of the best science, networking, and mentoring. The SGI is the only organization in this field that represents the breadth of clinicians and scientific investigators in all areas of women's health dedicated to translational reproductive medicine. This proposal seeks funds to support future SGI Annual Scientific Meetings to fulfill, in cooperation with NICHD staff, the following specific aims: 1) To provide guidance by instruction and support to trainees/young investigators in all aspects of reproductive sciences and to enable them to attend the SGI Annual Scientific Meeting by providing educational, interactive and meritorious incentives; 2) To recruit outstanding guest speakers to the annual SGI meeting, whose research exemplifies cutting edge science in the collective fields of women's health/reproductive biology, in order to expose our trainees to groundbreaking research being conducted in these areas. The 58th Annual SGI Scientific Meeting to be held in Miami, FL in March 2011 is entitled "Reproduction and Regenerative Medicine," and this theme prevails throughout the 4 day meeting. The objective of this proposal is to continue support for the outstanding scientific content of the meeting and to attract young investigators to attend and join this unique society. Throughout the meeting the contributions of trainees to research is emphasized; there is a plenary session at which the top ranked trainee abstracts will be presented and awards granted to authors of top-ranked abstracts. A new ad hoc In-Training-committee has been created by the SGI Council for supportive infrastructure serving trainees within the SGI Membership. The rationale of these efforts is that by presenting outstanding interdisciplinary research in women's health to young investigators in the community of the society, more trainees will be encouraged to pursue these areas and translational reproductive science will advance. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The rationale of this proposal is to support the Annual Meeting of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation (SGI) in order to promote productive exchange of ideas, to perpetuate the environment in which trainees and young investigators as well as senior scientists can present their work in an academic setting. The SGI is the premier organization in this field and is the only one which represents the breadth of clinicians and scientific investigators in all areas of women's health dedicated to translational reproductive medicine. Our goal is to make a significant impact on the training of young investigators in order to advance reproductive science.
