11th International Conference on Limb Development and Regeneration

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个会议补助金的申请，以提供对肢体发育和再生的第11届国际会议将于2010年7月13日至17日在弗吉尼亚州威廉斯堡的威廉和玛丽学院举行的支持。 这次会议是一个重要的国际会议，涵盖了肢体发育和再生的各个方面。 所要求的资金将通过以下方式加强会议计划：1）加强学生对本次会议的参与; 2）在组织和实际会议期间提供后勤支持; 3）促进少数民族和妇女在会议选定的发言人中的参与。 第11届肢体发育和再生国际会议是一个为期四天的会议，从2010年7月13日（星期二晚上）的开幕式晚上会议开始，并于2010年7月14日至16日星期三，星期四和星期五举行为期一天的会议。 这次会议的安排将与以前的会议并行。 简而言之，将有11个科学会议，每个会议包括一个邀请演讲（30分钟）和三个15-20分钟的口头报告，从摘要中选择。 因此，组织者预计将邀请11位演讲者进行30分钟的演讲，邀请一位主题演讲者进行一个小时的演讲，并从提交的摘要中选择33个演讲。 摘要将在会议前两到三个月征集。 肢体发育和再生国际会议是研究界的一次有价值的会议，它在为肢体发育和再生的不同领域之间的互动提供机会方面是独一无二的。 它有一个国家以及国际观众，和一个格式，侧重于新的和重要的调查结果在该领域。 为了使会议负担得起并增加妇女和少数民族科学家的参与，NIH的支持将有助于实现这些目标。 项目叙述：第11届肢体发育和再生国际会议将推进与人类疾病直接相关的各个领域的研究，包括先天性畸形，心血管生物学，神经发育和癌症。 通过在小型会议环境中为肢体发育和再生领域的经验丰富的和新的研究人员提供接口的机会，将促进信任的发展，并增强未来合作的潜力。 总之，拟议的会议将提供一个宝贵的和证明的机会，广泛推进生物医学研究。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): This is an application for a conference grant to provide support of the 11th International Conference on Limb Development and Regeneration to be held July 13-17, 2010 at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. This conference is a significant international meeting covering all aspects of limb development and regeneration. The requested funds will enable strengthening of the conference program by specifically 1) enhancing student participation in this conference; 2) providing logistical support in organization and during the actual meeting; and 3) promoting the inclusion of minorities and women among the speakers selected for the meeting. The 11th International Conference on Limb Development and Regeneration is a four-day meeting that begins with an opening evening session on July 13, 2010 (Tuesday evening) and daylong sessions on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday on July 14-16, 2010. The organization of the meeting will parallel previous meetings. Briefly, there will be 11 scientific sessions each consisting of an invited talk (30 minutes) and three 15-20 minute oral presentations selected from abstracts. Hence the organizers anticipate inviting 11 speakers for 30 minute talks, one invited keynote speaker for a full one hour presentation, and 33 talks selected from submitted abstracts. Abstracts will be solicited two to three months before the meeting. The International Conference on Limb Development and Regeneration is a valued meeting in the research community that is unique in offering opportunities for interaction among the diverse areas of limb development and regeneration. It has a national as well as international audience, and a format that focuses on the new and important findings in the field. In order to keep the meeting affordable and to increase the participation of women and minority scientists, support from the NIH will be instrumental in meeting these goals. PROJECT NARRATIVE: The 11th International Conference on Limb Development and Regeneration will advance research in diverse areas directly relevant to human diseases, including congenital malformations, cardiovascular biology, neural development, and cancer. By providing an opportunity for the interface of both experienced and new researchers in the fields of limb development and regeneration in a small conference setting will facilitate the development of trust and enhance potential for future collaborations. Taken together, the proposed conference will provide a valuable and proven opportunity to broadly advance biomedical research.
