PROJECT SUMMARYFunds are requested for partial support of the 65th Annual Meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology, to be held June 17-21, 2006, at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI. The Society has organized the major worldwide meeting in developmental biology for the past 67 years, missing only two during World War II. The meeting size has more than tripled over the last dozen years (from less than 300 in 1993 to just under 1,000 in 2005) and abstract submissions have done just as well (from less than 200 to almost 800).1. What is the intellectual merit of the proposed activity?Participants will be presenting their latest data, many yet to be published, contributing to advancement of knowledge in the field. As it has become a successful tradition, the scientific sessions in platform and poster formats encompass work on diverse organisms including plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. All the invited speakers listed in the preliminary program have accepted the invitation to tell us about some of their most exciting findings in the following areas:- Plenary Sessions: Genomics and Gene Networks, Evolution of Development, Pattern Formation in Development.- Concurrent Sessions: Development and Senescence, Novel Genetic Mechanisms in Development, Stem Cells in Animals and Plants, Cell-cell Signaling, Pathfinding and Beyond Model Organisms.About 24 additional speakers will be chosen from submitted abstracts for short talks in the concurrent sessions, allowing the inclusion of the latest results and providing an opportunity for junior investigators to address a large audience, as priority will be given to them. A Postdoctoral Symposium will take place for the first time at this meeting. It is run by postdoctoral fellows, and the invited speakers will be postdocs. Short talks will be selected from submitted abstracts and winners of postdoctoral presentations at the 2006 SDB regional meetings held before June.Another "first" at this meeting is a Boot Camp for New Faculty to be held on June 16, and 17. Members of the Professional Development and Education Committee organized this new event which will include sessions on Hands-on lab with model organisms, Course design, Mentoring and Lab management. SDB members who are new faculty (up to 5-years in the job) are invited to apply for a seat in this camp. Cool Career Choices in Life Sciences and Grant Writing Workshop complete the educational sessions, a serious commitment of the Society to training of future developmental biologists.2. What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity?Besides dissemination of new scientific findings in the field, meeting participants will have ampleopportunity to discuss issues related to careers, grants and funding, and the various aspects of teaching developmental biology during the education sessions and the boot camp for new faculty. The new, dedicated postdoctoral symposium will offer a chance for these almost-independent young investigators to organize their own sessions, including review of abstracts and selection of the most appropriate ones for short talks - a glimpse into the peer review process.Attendance is expected to be about 800 people and most of them will present their new datain the dedicated poster sessions each day. These social hours around the posters will provide a forum to bring together junior and senior investigators and to allow them to exchange ideas on science, education and the role of science in today's society. The common meals taken on campus will extend the discussion and networking opportunities for the participants. Travel awards will be available to bring underrepresented minorities, students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty at primarily undergraduate institutions, and Latin American faculty and students to attend the meeting.

项目摘要要求于2006年6月17日至21日在密歇根大学，密歇根州安阿伯市密歇根大学举行的第65届发育生物学学会的第65届年会。在过去的67年中，该协会组织了开发生物学的主要世界会议，在第二次世界大战期间仅缺少两次。在过去的十几年中（从1993年的300年到2005年的1,000年，会议规模的增加了两倍以上），抽象提交也做得同样（从不到200到800到800）。1。拟议活动的智力优点是什么？参与者将介绍其最新数据（许多尚未发布），这有助于该领域的知识发展。随着它已成为成功的传统，平台和海报格式的科学会议涵盖了包括植物，无脊椎动物和脊椎动物在内的各种生物的工作。初步计划中列出的所有受邀演讲者都接受了邀请，向我们介绍了以下领域中他们最令人兴奋的发现： - 全体会议：基因组学和基因网络，发展的发展，发展中的模式形成。发育和衰老，发育中的新遗传机制，动物和植物中的干细胞，细胞 - 细胞信号传导，探路和模型生物体的超越。最新结果并为初级调查人员提供了向大量受众群体讲话的机会，因为将优先考虑。博士后研讨会将在本次会议上首次举行。它由博士后研究员经营，被邀请的演讲者将是博士后。将从2006年6月之前举行的2006年SDB区域会议上提交的摘要和博士后演讲的获奖者中进行简短的会谈。另一个在这次会议上的“首先”是一个新学院，将于6月16日举行新教师。专业发展和教育委员会组织了这项新活动，其中包括与模型生物体的动手实验室会议，课程设计，指导和实验室管理。邀请新教职员工（最多5年）的SDB成员申请在该营地申请席位。生命科学和授予写作研讨会的酷炫职业选择完成了教育课程，这是社会对未来发展生物学家培训的认真承诺。2。拟议活动的更广泛影响是什么？除了传播该领域的新科学发现外，会议参与者还将有足够的运动来讨论与职业，赠款和资金有关的问题，以及在教育课程和教育生物学课程以及教育生物学教育课程的各个方面新教师的新兵训练营。新的专门的博士后研讨会将为这些几乎独立的年轻调查人员组织自己的会议，包括对摘要的审查以及最合适的会议的选择 - 对同行评审的瞥见。大约有800人，其中大多数人每天都会向他们的新数据展示专门的海报会议。海报周围的这些社交时光将提供一个论坛，以召集初级和高级调查人员，并允许他们交流有关科学，教育和科学在当今社会中的作用的想法。在校园里吃的普通餐将扩大参与者的讨论和网络机会。旅行奖将用于带来代表性不足的少数民族，学生，博士后研究员，主要是本科机构的教职员工以及拉丁美洲教职员工和学生参加会议。
