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30多个国家的研究机构和中心、大学实验室、医学院和诊所的1000多名科学家和学员参加了会议。每次会议的三个目标是1)在一个环境中介绍生殖科学的最新研究成果，2)鼓励科学对话，3)促进受训者的专业发展。每次会议由世界级科学家的全体会议和最先进的讲座组成，15个迷你研讨会(每个会议有3名演讲者)集中讨论生物医学、临床和动物科学以及野生动物保护和环境领域的科学家当前感兴趣的主题。口头平台演讲(144个)和海报(约450个或更多)突出了知名研究人员和受训人员的个人研究贡献。这些报告基于在线提交的摘要，每个摘要都由计划委员会的两名或两名以上成员审查。在奖项竞争中提交的摘要也由SSR的颁奖委员会审查。这项申请是对2011年会议及其后续会议至2013年的部分支持的竞争性续签。2011年的会议将在俄勒冈州波特兰的俄勒冈会议中心举行；2012年的会议将在宾夕法尼亚州州立大学的校园内举行；2013年的会议将在加拿大魁北克省蒙特利尔的S宫举行。特别要求为1名主旨演讲人、3名主席座谈会演讲人、1名最先进的演讲人和15名非SSR成员的小型研讨会演讲者提供旅费、住宿费和会议费，并为20名非SSR成员的Minisymposa演讲者提供豁免会议费用的资金。还要求为100名有记录的有需要的受训人员提供旅费补助金，这些受训人员没有得到非政府组织的支助。对于2011年的会议，预计SSR将继续在SSR和美国生殖医学学会(ASRM)的联合赞助下提供继续医学教育学分。此外，还鼓励代表人数不足的少数群体参加会议的各个方面，重点是少数群体事务委员会主办的全体讲座和招待会。在设计这一计划时，项目委员会尽可能地将翻译研究和临床应用纳入其中。与美国生殖医学学会(ASRM)、生殖与生育学会(SRF)和妇科调查学会(SGI)的交流讲座将重点介绍最近生殖保健方面的进展。节目委员会在设计这个节目时也确保了主题、性别、种族和地理的平衡。SSR会议提供了一种学习和合作的氛围，目的是在生殖医学、公共卫生、农业和保护方面产生新的知识和解决方案，造福人类。

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 research institutes and centers, university laboratories, medical schools, and clinics located in the U.S. and more than 30 other countries. The threefold goal of every meeting is 1) to present state-of-the-art research in the reproductive sciences in an environment that 2) encourages scientific dialogue and 3) promotes the professional development of trainees. Each meeting consists of plenary and state-of-the-art lectures by world-class scientists,15 minisymposia (with 3 speakers in each) focusing on subjects of current interest to scientists in biomedical, clinical, and animal science as well as those in wildlife preservation and environmental sectors. Oral platform talks (144) and posters (~450 or more) highlight individual research contributions by established researchers and trainees. These presentations are based on abstracts submitted online, each of which is reviewed by two or more members of the Program Committee. Abstracts submitted in competition for awards are reviewed also by the SSR's Awards Committee. This application is a competing renewal for partial support for the 2011 meeting and the ensuing meetings through 2013. The 2011 meeting will be held at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon; the 2012 meeting will take place on the campus of Pennsylvania State University, State College, Pennsylvania; and the 2013 meeting will be at the Palais des Congr¿s in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Support is requested specifically for travel, lodging, and meeting expenses for 1 Keynote speaker, 3 President's Symposium speakers, 1 State-of-the-Art speaker, and 15 Minisymposium speakers who are not SSR members, and funds for waiver of meeting expenses for 20 Minisymposia speakers who are SSR members. Support is requested also for travel grants for 100 trainees with documented need and who are not supported by an NRSA. For the 2011 meeting, it is anticipated that SSR will continue to offer CME credits under the joint sponsorship of SSR and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). Also, participation of underrepresented minorities is encouraged in all aspects of the meeting, the highlight being a Minority Affairs Committee-sponsored plenary lecture and reception. In designing this program, the Program Committee has incorporated translational research and clinical applications wherever possible. Exchange lectures with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), the Society of Reproduction and Fertility (SRF), and the Society for Gynecological Investigation (SGI) will emphasize recent reproductive health care advances. The Program Committee has also ensured topic, gender, race, and geographic balance in designing this program. The SSR meeting provides an atmosphere of learning and collaboration with the goal of generating new knowledge and solutions in reproductive medicine, public health, agriculture, and conservation that will benefit mankind.
