Description (provided by applicant) The objective of this proposal is to request funds to support the travel, registration, and hotel expenses of 15 predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the 2003 Teratology Society Annual meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This meeting will take place on June 21st to June 26th, 2003 at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel, across from the Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia. It will consist of a two-day education course on the importance of animal models in understanding human abnormalities and syndromes, followed by a four-day conference that includes various symposia, workshops, the platform and poster sessions. The encouragement and financial assistance of trainees to attend the Teratology Society meeting is vital for the infusion of enthusiasm and new ideas into scientific discussions. In addition, these individuals will benefit greatly from interaction with leading scientists in birth defects research, in a setting that encourages open exchange of ideas and experimental findings. Symposium topics for the main conference include: Assisted reproduction techniques and reproductive outcomes (March of Dimes Symposium): the fetal basis-of adult diseases (NIEHS symposium). Gene-environment interactions in susceptibility: human studies and animal models (The Wiley-Liss Symposium). Three concurrent minisymposia will cover; Childhood obesity-impact on children's health and possible developmental etiologies; Occupational exposures and reproductive outcomes; and Effects of antioxidants on development. Special workshops will cover: How to communicate animal data to clinicians for their use in counseling women about drug use during pregnancy (Public Affairs Workshop); teratogen update on endocrine-active compounds; and the rat inverted yolk sac as a biological model for risk analysis. Invited speakers are selected on their distinction and the importance and relevance of their work to current research in birth defects and developmental disabilities. Many events at the Teratology Society meeting focus on student-fellow participation. Platform sessions are entirely devoted to the presentations by these trainees; and all trainees, including awardees, will be honored at a luncheon during the conference. In addition, a student reception organized by the Student Affairs Committee encourages exchange of ideas and networking among trainee participants. Funds to help support and encourage student-fellow attendance at the Teratology Society 2003 meeting will enhance the quality of the meeting and the experience of the student attendees.

描述（由申请人提供） 该提案的目的是请求资金支持 15 名博士前学生和博士后研究员参加在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行的 2003 年畸胎学协会年会的旅行、注册和酒店费用。 这次会议将于2003年6月21日至6月26日在费城市中心宾夕法尼亚会议中心对面的洛伊斯费城酒店举行。 它将包括为期两天的教育课程，介绍动物模型在理解人类异常和综合症方面的重要性，然后是为期四天的会议，其中包括各种研讨会、讲习班、平台和海报会议。 鼓励和资助学员参加畸胎学会会议对于将热情和新思想注入科学讨论至关重要。 此外，在鼓励公开交流思想和实验结果的环境中，这些人将从与出生缺陷研究领域的领先科学家的互动中受益匪浅。 主会议的研讨会主题包括：辅助生殖技术和生殖结果（March of Dimes 研讨会）：成人疾病的胎儿基础（NIEHS 研讨会）。易感性中的基因-环境相互作用：人类研究和动物模型（Wiley-Liss 研讨会）。 三个同时举行的小型研讨会将涵盖：儿童肥胖——对儿童健康的影响和可能的发育病因；职业接触和生殖结果；和抗氧化剂对发育的影响。 特别研讨会将涵盖： 如何向临床医生传达动物数据，以供其用于向妇女提供有关怀孕期间吸毒的咨询（公共事务研讨会）；内分泌活性化合物的致畸物质更新；以及大鼠卵黄囊倒置作为风险分析的生物学模型。 受邀演讲者的选择是根据他们的特色以及他们的工作对当前出生缺陷和发育障碍研究的重要性和相关性。 畸形学协会会议上的许多活动都注重学生同学的参与。 平台课程完全致力于这些学员的演讲；所有学员，包括获奖者，都将在会议期间的午餐会上受到表彰。 此外，学生事务委员会组织的学生招待会鼓励学员之间交流思想和建立联系。 用于帮助支持和鼓励学生研究员参加 2003 年畸胎学协会会议的资金将提高会议的质量和学生与会者的体验。
