XX North Amercian Testis Workshop

描述(申请人提供)：第二十九届北美睾丸研讨会将于2009年4月1日至4日在宾夕法尼亚州费城的凯悦酒店举行。讲习班将与美国男科学学会(ASA)第34届年会合作举办，该年会将在讲习班结束后不久在同一地点开幕。该讲习班每两年举行一次，自1991年以来一直与协会年会联系在一起。两个会议的配对提高了场地合同安排的效率，协调了会议规划和管理，减少了与会者的旅行成本，并增加了临床科学家参加研讨会的机会。由于项目主席Eddy博士是NIH的一名雇员，因此资金申请是由迈克尔·格里斯沃尔德博士提交的，他是2007年最后一次研讨会的主席，也是睾丸研讨会指导委员会的成员。 与公共健康相关：第29届北美睾丸研讨会将于2009年4月1日至4日在宾夕法尼亚州费城的凯悦酒店举行。讲习班将与美国男科学学会(ASA)第34届年会合作举办，该年会将在讲习班结束后不久在同一地点开幕。该讲习班每两年举行一次，自1991年以来一直与协会年会联系在一起。两个会议的配对提高了场地合同安排的效率，协调了会议规划和管理，减少了与会者的旅行成本，并增加了临床科学家参加研讨会的机会。下一个研讨会的主题是“睾丸功能：调节水平”。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The XXth North American Testis Workshop will be held April 1- 4, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, PA. The Workshop will be held in partnership with the 34th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Andrology (ASA) that will begin at the same venue shortly after completion of the Workshop. The Workshop is held every two years and has been associated with the Annual Meeting of the ASA since 1991. Pairing of the two conferences provides efficiency in venue contract arrangements, coordination of meeting planning and management, reduces travel costs for attendees and enhances opportunities for participation in the Workshop by clinical scientists. Since the Program Chair, Dr. Eddy, is a NIH employee, the request for funds is being submitted by Dr. Michael Griswold, the Chair of the last workshop in 2007 and a member of the Testis Workshop steering committee.
