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学会的目标是促进生殖、围产期和儿科研究。这项研究包括研究从受孕到青春期影响产妇健康和儿童健康和发展的任何因素。为了促进这项研究，我们的任务是召开一次学会年会，包括一次执行委员会会议及其成员会议。年会通常在流行病学研究会之前举行，并在同一地点举行。申请这笔赠款是为了继续支持学生奖和海因茨·贝伦德斯国际旅行奖，以及在年会上的主旨演讲。学生奖的目的是表彰在生殖、围产期和儿科流行病学研究方面的杰出学术成就，并鼓励年轻的研究人员，并随后建立一个面向未来的网络。Heinz Berendes国际旅行奖旨在鼓励来自北美以外的研究人员，特别是来自发展中国家的研究人员，向协会提交他们的工作，从而使这些研究人员融入更大的生殖、围产期和儿科流行病学家的世界社区。主旨演讲每年由该领域著名的高级研究员发表，总结该领域的最新研究成果，指出当前的研究需求，启发新的项目和方向，提供历史观点，以及激励年轻的研究人员推动该领域的发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the Society for Pediatric and Perinatal Epidemiologic Research is 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 its members. The Annual Meetings are normally held before and in the same place as 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 is to recognize outstanding scholarship in reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric epidemiologic research and to encourage young 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.
