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

描述（由申请人提供）：作为国内和国际上杰出的生殖生物学和医学临床医生和研究人员的专业组织，妇科研究学会（SGI）在解决这些问题方面发挥着关键作用，并为交流思想、展示最佳科学、建立网络和指导提供了一个论坛。SGI是该领域唯一一个代表致力于转化生殖医学的妇女健康所有领域的广泛临床医生和科学研究人员的组织。本提案寻求资金支持未来的SGI年度科学会议，与NICHD工作人员合作，实现以下具体目标：1)通过指导和支持生殖科学各个方面的培训生/年轻研究人员，并通过提供教育，互动和有奖奖励，使他们能够参加SGI年度科学会议；2)招募杰出的演讲嘉宾参加SGI年度会议，他们的研究是妇女健康/生殖生物学集体领域的前沿科学，以使我们的学员了解这些领域正在进行的突破性研究。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，会议的主题是“生殖和再生医学”，这一主题贯穿了为期4天的会议。该提案的目的是继续支持会议的杰出科学内容，并吸引年轻的研究人员参加并加入这个独特的协会。整个会议强调了受训者对研究的贡献；在全体会议上，将颁发排名最高的学员摘要，并为排名最高的摘要的作者颁发奖项。SGI理事会成立了一个特别的培训委员会，为SGI会员内的学员提供基础设施支持。这些努力的理由是，通过向社会上的年轻研究人员介绍妇女健康方面杰出的跨学科研究，将鼓励更多的受训者从事这些领域的工作，从而促进转化生殖科学的发展。

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.
