SCDB Meeting: "Innovations in Development"

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目标是获得资金，以支持将于2012年8月8日至11日在圣克鲁斯校园举行的圣克鲁斯发育生物学会议。自1992年以来，这个一年两次的会议一直在加州大学圣克鲁斯校区举行，它是一个重要的论坛，汇集了不同领域的科学家，介绍和讨论发育生物学的最新进展。本次会议是一个独特的小（140-180名参与者），具有国际声誉和摘要参加会议将接受所有发育生物学家开始在2012年1月/2月。正如我们的应用程序中详细说明的那样，我们计划通过包括简短的演讲，海报和针对职业问题的研讨会来吸引研究生和博士后的大量参与。会议形式是单一平台会议，有两个不重叠的抽象会议，因此每个参与者在会议期间都参与相同的主题和活动。圣克鲁斯校园为这次会议提供了一个美丽的环境，住宿，餐饮和会议安排鼓励重要的参与者互动。会议的主题将包括，过去，现在和未来的发育生物学，细胞极性，发展和疾病，再生和干细胞，形态发生和信号，进化和发展和神经发生和图案。在每一次会议上，一系列的模式生物所使用的当代发育生物学家，以解决重大问题已被选定。总之，这是一个由生物学家每两年为生物学家重新创建的基层会议，我们很高兴有机会计划2012年题为“发育生物学创新”的会议。 公共卫生相关性：叙述基金被要求支持基层半年一次的圣克鲁斯发育生物学会议，题为“发育生物学创新”，在洛杉矶的圣克鲁斯大学举行，2012年8月8日至11日。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this application is to obtain funds to support the Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Conference which will be held on the Santa Cruz Campus August 8-11 2012. This bi-annual meeting has been held at the University of California Santa Cruz campus since 1992 and it is a major forum for bringing together a diverse spectrum of scientists to present and discuss recent advances in developmental biology. This meeting is unique in being a small (140-180 participants), with an international reputation and abstracts to attend the meeting will be accepted by all Developmental Biologists starting in January/February 2012. As detailed in our application, have planned for considerable participation by graduate students and postdocs by including short talks, posters, and a workshop aimed at career issues. The meeting format is single platform sessions, with two non-overlapping abstract sessions so every participant is engaged in the same topic and activity for the duration of the meeting. The Santa Cruz campus offers a beautiful setting for this meeting, and the housing, meal, and session arrangements encourage significant participant interactions. The session topics will include, Past Present and Future of Developmental Biology, Cell Polarity, Development and Disease, Regeneration and Stem Cells, Morphogenesis and Signaling, Evolution and Development and Neurogenesis and Patterning. Within each session, a range of model organisms used by contemporary Developmental Biologists to address major questions have been chosen. In conclusion, this is a grass roots meeting created de novo every two years by biologists for biologists, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to plan the meeting entitled 'Innovations in Developmental Biology' for 2012. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Narrative Funds are requested to support the grass roots biannual Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting entitled 'Innovations in Developmental Biology' held at the University of Santa Cruz, Los Angeles August 8-11 2012.
