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 2004 Teratology Society Annual Meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada. This meeting will take place on June 26 to July I, 2004 at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver. It will consist of a two-day education course on signaling pathways and tissue interactions in organ-system development, followed by a five-day conference that includes various symposia, workshops, 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 greatly benefit 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: RNA interference (RNAi) approaches to the study of normal and abnormal development (March of Dimes Symposium); birth defects and other adverse pregnancy, outcomes due to maternal obesity (Public Affairs Symposium); and neural crest cells in normal and abnormal development (The Wiley-Liss Symposium). Four concurrent mini-symposia will cover: Neurobehavioral outcomes of common exposures; toxicokinetics and metabolism; perinatal epidemiology-spontaneous abortion; and computational systems biology and implications for developmental toxicology. Special workshops will cover: maternal-fetal medicine and teratogen updates on alcohol, pesticides, anticonvulsants, DES, trichloroethylene, and trimethoprin. Invited speakers are selected on their distinction and the importance and relevance of their work to current research in developmental biology and birth defects/developmental disabilities. Many events at the Teratology Society meeting focus on student-fellow participation. A plenary session is devoted entirely to 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 2004 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 2004 年畸胎学会议的旅行、注册和酒店费用 协会年会在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行。 本次会议将于6月26日举行 至 2004 年 7 月 1 日，温哥华凯悦酒店。 它将包括为期两天的关于器官系统发育中信号通路和组织相互作用的教育课程，随后是为期五天的会议，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。主要会议的研讨会主题包括： 研究正常和异常发育的 RNA 干扰 (RNAi) 方法（March of Dimes 研讨会）；出生缺陷和其他不良妊娠、孕产妇肥胖造成的后果（公共事务研讨会）；以及正常和异常发育中的神经嵴细胞（Wiley-Liss 研讨会）。 四场同期举行的小型研讨会将涵盖： 常见暴露的神经行为结果；毒代动力学和代谢；围产期流行病学——自然流产；和计算系统生物学及其对发育毒理学的影响。 特别讲习班将涵盖：关于酒精、杀虫剂、抗惊厥药、DES、三氯乙烯和甲氧苄啶的母胎医学和致畸剂更新。受邀演讲者的选择是根据他们的特点以及他们的工作对当前发育生物学和出生缺陷/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。 全体会议完全由这些学员进行演讲，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参加 2004 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。
