DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Annual Society for Male Reproduction and Urology (SMRU) Traveling Award Program is held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). The primary objectives of the SMRU Traveling Scholar Award Program, which was initiated in 1998, are: (1) to stimulate the scientific interests of residents and fellows in the study of male reproductive medicine by providing a structured didactic program of education within the framework of the ASRM Annual Meeting; and (2) to permit interactions with reproductive endocrinologists to help define the role of the male infertility specialist in the era of assisted reproduction. This Program provides formal lectures and peer-interaction with senior members in the field who will tailor their presentations to the level of physicians and basic science researchers-in-training. The scientific need for the program stems from the lack of basic introductory level lectures at Annual Meetings. Seven physicians and basic science researchers in training will present abstracts at a podium or poster session. Starting in 2003, the five awardees with top scoring abstracts will present their work in a special concurrent podium session devoted to this Program. Participants will attend the one-day post-graduate course organized by the SMRU, a roundtable luncheon, SMRU workshops, podium, and poster sessions. Formal breakfast expert seminars will highlight new and important clinical and basic research findings. The broad topics likely to be addressed in these expert lectures include: 1) the evaluation and treatment of the infertile male; 2) effects of environmental agents on reproductive health; 3) erectile dysfunction: etiology, diagnosis, and treatment, 4) the needs of the aging male; and 5) advances in male contraception. The traveling award recipients will be sent selected readings, a lecture outline, and questions for post-lecture discussion (prepared by each presenter) in advance of the meeting to enhance the interactions. Ample time will be allotted at the end of each lecture for questions and answers, to promote further interaction between the speakers and traveling award recipients. Experience indicates that this Program has encouraged many recipients to pursue clinical/basic science careers, with many already active in academic positions around the world, thus serving a critical need. Without this exposure, many of them would have likely pursued different career paths.

描述（由申请人提供）：年度男性繁殖与泌尿外科学会（SMRU）旅行奖与美国生殖医学学会（ASRM）年会一起举行。 SMRU旅行学者奖计划的主要目标是：（1）在男性生殖医学研究中刺激居民和研究员的科学利益，通过在男性生殖医学研究中提供结构化的教育计划， ASRM年度会议； （2）允许与生殖内分泌学家的互动，以帮助定义男性不育专家在辅助生殖时代的作用。该计划提供了与该领域的高级成员的正式讲座和同伴交往，他们将对医师和基础科学研究人员的培训水平量身定制演讲。该计划的科学需求源于年度会议上缺乏基本入门水平的讲座。培训中的七名医生和基础科学研究人员将在讲台或海报会议上介绍摘要。 从2003年开始，拥有最高评分摘要的五位获奖者将在专门针对该计划的特殊同时讲台上展示他们的作品。 参与者将参加由SMRU，圆桌会议午餐会，SMRU工作坊，讲台和海报会议组织的为期一天的研究生课程。正式的早餐专家研讨会将重点介绍新的重要临床和基础研究结果。在这些专家讲座中可能解决的广泛主题包括：1）对不育男性的评估和治疗； 2）环境药物对生殖健康的影响； 3）勃起功能障碍：病因，诊断和治疗，4）老年男性的需求； 5）男性避孕进展。旅行奖励者将被选出选定的读数，讲座大纲以及会议后的讲座讨论（由每个主持人准备）以增强互动的问题。每个演讲结束时将分配充足的时间，以提出问题和答案，以促进演讲者和旅行奖者之间的进一步互动。经验表明，该计划鼓励许多接受者从事临床/基础科学职业，许多人已经活跃于世界各地的学术职位，因此满足了急需的需求。没有这种曝光，其中许多人可能会追求不同的职业道路。
