A direct and tangible contribution of any scientific discovery or science-education lies in the creation of a springboard to success for the future generation of scientists. A resilient principle of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN) is our commitment to trainees. We see our trainees as the future of the field and thus; recruiting and welcoming them into, encouraging their participation in, rewarding their input to, and nurturing their continued inclusion among the SBN are all inherently critical aspects of the SBN mission. The SBN Education Committee will use NSF funds to stimulate, maintain, nurture, and reward the participation of post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students at the 15th and 16th annual SBN meetings. In keeping with our commitment to recruit, retain, and reward trainees, funds will be used for: (1) Travel Awards. This allows trainees to present their work in a supportive environment and gain exposure to the breadth and depth of the field. (2) Career Development Workshops. Workshops are offered at each meeting to educate trainees on important career development topics and retain trainees in the sciences. (3) Mentor-Mentee Lunches. One-on-one discussions with senior mentors help trainees gain insight into the research enterprise, create new relationships, and find strong mentors. (4) Trainee Poster Competition. The competition an educational experience for all and it also provides an opportunity to encourage and reward success at each level, and, (5) the Young Investigator?s Symposium. Outstanding senior graduate students or post-docs are chosen to present talks in a dedicated symposium at the meeting. This format recognizes the accomplishments of such trainees, facilitates their movement into more advanced positions, and motivates younger scientists. The trainee events at the SBN meeting will play a key role in the attraction, retention, and reward of the brightest and best-trained transdisciplinary scientists.

任何科学发现或科学教育的直接和切实的贡献都在于为未来一代科学家的成功创造跳板。 我们对学员的承诺是行为神经内分泌学协会（SBN）的弹性原则。 我们将学员视为该领域的未来，因此；招募并欢迎他们参与，奖励他们对SBN的投入并继续培养他们的意见并培养他们的持续包容性是SBN任务的固有关键方面。 SBN教育委员会将使用NSF资金来刺激，维护，培育和奖励博士后研究员，研究生和本科生在第15届和第16届SBN年度会议上的参与。为了遵守我们致力于招募，保留和奖励学员的承诺，将使用资金用于：（1）旅行奖。这使学员可以在支持性环境中展示他们的作品，并获得对田间广度和深度的影响。 （2）职业发展研讨会。在每次会议上举办研讨会，以教育受训者有关重要的职业发展主题，并保留科学学员。 （3）Mentor-Mentee午餐。与高级导师的一对一讨论可以帮助学员了解研究企业，建立新的关系并找到强大的导师。 （4）实习海报竞赛。竞争为所有人提供了教育经验，它还提供了一个机会，可以鼓励和奖励每个级别的成功，以及（5）年轻的调查员研讨会。在会议上，选择了杰出的高级研究生或毕业后来在专门的研讨会上进行演讲。这种格式认识到此类学员的成就，促进了他们进入更高级的职位，并激发了年轻的科学家。 SBN会议上的实习生活动将在最聪明，训练有素的跨学科科学家的吸引力，保留和奖励中发挥关键作用。
