ISEH Annual Meeting: Young Investigator Programs

描述（由申请人提供）：ISEH第39届年度科学会议将于2010年9月15日至18日在墨尔本（澳大利亚）会展中心举行。该科学计划包括几场由国际领先研究人员参加的全体讲座、一场总统研讨会，以及同时进行的口头和海报讨论会，展示从提交的摘要中选出的开创性研究。会议通过提供青年研究人员奖和旅费赠款，以及与国际领先研究人员会面和建立联系的机会，积极促进青年研究人员和该领域新兴领导人的参与。青年调查员是2010年会议的重要焦点，特别设计了一个项目和会议组织，为开创性的青年调查员提供一个展示研究成果的场所，并促进与经验丰富的同行进行多种互动。这次会议的规模很小，保证了年轻的研究人员一个突出的地方，并使这个事件更有价值的他们和整个科学界，相比，在美国或世界其他地区的大型活动。年轻的研究人员也有相当高的机会被选中进行抽象演示，因为他们代表了很大比例的与会者。大多数年轻的研究人员发现，参加这一重要会议的费用太高，因为去欧洲的旅费太高，在今天的经济环境下，这种情况更加严重。通过这笔赠款，ISEH希望使来自美国的年轻研究人员能够参与，从而有机会展示他们的摘要，并在一个适宜的环境中与同行建立联系。计划举办28场会议，从9月15日星期三（下午3点）到9月18日星期六（下午5：30），包括：2场著名的演讲：梅特卡夫奖演讲（这次由Donald Metcalf教授主讲; Till和McCulloch讲座; 1次总统专题讨论会，4名发言人; 15次全体会议，每次4名发言人; 6次口头会议，每次会议包括从与会者（包括青年研究者）提交的摘要中选择的6个演示文稿; 4次海报会议，包括从提交的摘要中选择的演示文稿，也包括青年研究者; 1次青年研究者奖（8次青年研究者奖）。 公共卫生相关性：血液学和干细胞学会（ISEH）年度科学会议是血液学和干细胞生物学领域交流和讨论原创，未发表和重大研究进展的年度论坛。一个主要目标是鼓励和奖励优秀和创新的实验造血由年轻的研究人员进入该领域。这是一个独特而重要的全球性聚会，来自美国和其他国家的有前途的年轻调查员有机会与来自世界各地的知名人士和该领域的领先研究人员会面，学习并向他们展示他们的发现。通过这笔赠款，ISEH打算使来自美国的大量具有代表性的年轻研究人员和演讲者能够参加2010年9月15日至18日在墨尔本（澳大利亚）举行的ISEH第39届年度科学会议，为这些美国研究人员提供旅行补助和住宿和膳食。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ISEH 39th Annual Scientific Meeting will be held from September 15 to 18, 2010 in Melbourne (Australia) at the Convention and Exhibit Center. The scientific program comprises several plenary lectures featuring leading international researchers, a Presidential Symposium, as well as concurrent oral and poster discussion sessions presenting ground- breaking research selected from submitted abstracts. The meeting proactively fosters the participation of young investigators and emerging leaders in the field by providing young investigator awards and travel grants, and opportunities for meeting and networking with leading international researchers. Young Investigators are the important focus of the 2010 meeting, with a program and session organization especially designed to provide a venue for the presentation of research from ground-breaking Young Investigators and to foster multiple interactions with their more experienced peers. The small size of this meeting assures Young Investigators a prominent place, and makes this event more valuable to them and to the scientific community as whole, as compared to the larger events in the USA or other parts of the world. Young Investigators also have a considerably higher chance of being selected for an abstract presentation, because they represent a significant percentage of attendees. Most Young Investigators find it too expensive to attend this important meeting because of the travel expense of going to Europe, a situation even more serious in today's economic climate. Through this grant, ISEH wants to make it possible for Young Investigators from the US to participate and therefore have the chance to present their abstracts and to network with peers in a congenial environment. 28 sessions are planned, from Wednesday September 15 (3pm) to Saturday September 18 (5:30pm), including: 2 prestigious Orations: The Metcalf Award Lecture (on this occasion presented by professor Donald Metcalf; and the Till and McCulloch Lecture; 1 Presidential Symposium with 4 speakers; 15 Plenary Sessions, each with 4 speakers; 6 Oral Sessions, each comprising 6 presentations selected from submitted abstracts by attendees including Young Investigators; 4 Poster Sessions comprising presentations selected from submitted abstracts, also including Young Investigators; and 1 Young Investigator Awards session (8 Young Investigators awards). PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Society for Hematology and Stem Cells (ISEH) Annual Scientific Meeting is the yearly forum for the exchange and discussion of original, unpublished and significant research advances in the area of hematology and stem cell biology. A primary goal is to encourage and reward excellence and innovation in Experimental Hematopoiesis by young Investigators entering the field. It is a unique and essential worldwide gathering where promising Young Investigators from the US and other countries have the opportunity to meet with, learn from and present their findings to prominent figures and leading researchers in the field from around the world. Though this grant, ISEH intends to make it possible for a large and representative number of Young Investigators and speakers from the USA to attend the Sep 15-18, 2010 ISEH 39th Annual Scientific Meeting in Melbourne (Australia) by offering those US researchers travel grants and contributions for lodging and meals.
