Trainees are the future of science. Participation in conferences enhances trainees' scientific knowledge, professional development, and networking. Presenting at international conferences enables trainees' scientific contributions to be recognized and readily incorporated into the scientific community. Support will enable U.S. undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty to present at the 5th International Meeting on Steroids and the Nervous System, February 14-18, 2009 (Torino, Italy). This conference is organized to update our knowledge on the relationships between steroid hormones synthesized in different organs and the nervous system, which spans areas from molecular biology to behavior. Topics to be covered at the 5th meeting are diverse and include sex differences in, and hormonal influences on, steroid receptor action in the brain; pain; vitamin D. These and other topics are comprehensively covered in half-day symposia. There is a Young Investigators Symposium, in which six trainees present their research, poster sessions, and roundtable discussions focused on "Androgens and androgen receptors", and "Neurosteroids and pregnancy". The conference committee seeks to maximize interactions between investigators and trainees across many levels of analyses in the study of steroid hormones. Funding from NSF will partially support a professional development workshop, meet the professor lunch, awards to recognize trainees, a young investigator symposium and other educational programs at this venue. Together, the program affords a training atmosphere that is vital to the success of new scholars and enhances their professional development, beyond what can be accomplished at local, regional, or national meetings. This is congruous with NSF's goals through supporting scientifically meritorious endeavors and support of trainees in order to foster their scientific and career development. With the support of NSF, the 5th International Meeting on Steroids and the Nervous System enhances education, recognizes research contributions of U.S. trainees, and includes them in the scientific community by allowing for increased interaction with senior and international investigators.

学员是科学的未来。 参加会议可以提高学员的科学知识、专业发展和人脉网络。 在国际会议上发表演讲可以使学员的科学贡献得到认可并轻松融入科学界。 资助将使美国本科生、研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师能够在 2009 年 2 月 14 日至 18 日（意大利都灵）举行的第五届类固醇和神经系统国际会议上发表演讲。 组织这次会议的目的是更新我们对不同器官合成的类固醇激素与神经系统之间关系的认识，涵盖从分子生物学到行为的领域。 第五次会议讨论的主题多种多样，包括大脑中类固醇受体作用的性别差异和激素影响；疼痛;维生素 D。半天的研讨会全面涵盖了这些主题和其他主题。 有一个青年研究者研讨会，其中六名学员展示了他们的研究、海报会议和圆桌讨论，重点是“雄激素和雄激素受体”以及“神经类固醇和怀孕”。 会议委员会力求在类固醇激素研究的多个分析层面上最大限度地提高研究人员和学员之间的互动。 美国国家科学基金会的资金将部分支持在此举办的专业发展研讨会、与教授共进午餐、表彰受训人员的奖项、青年研究者研讨会和其他教育项目。 总之，该计划提供了一种对新学者的成功至关重要的培训氛围，并增强了他们的专业发展，超出了地方、区域或国家会议所能实现的目标。 这与 NSF 的目标是一致的，即支持科学上有功绩的努力和支持受训人员，以促进他们的科学和职业发展。 在 NSF 的支持下，第五届类固醇与神经系统国际会议加强了教育，认可了美国学员的研究贡献，并通过增加与高级和国际研究人员的互动将他们纳入科学界。
