DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation (SGI) is to promote original research in Obstetrics and Gynecology, including basic and translational research relevant to the discipline of Gynecologic Oncology, and to facilitate the career development of trainees and its junior members. The SGI members are a community of basic, translational and clinical investigators from all of the subspecialties of Obstetrics and Gynecology, including Gynecologic Oncology, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Urogynecology as well as from related basic science departments. The society's mission has never been more important since half of university-based departments of Ob/Gyn have no NIH funding and there has been an actual decline in NIH grant submissions by Ob/Gyn physicians over the past 10 years. Most ominous has been the decline in U.S. medical student applications of Ob/Gyn residencies and the number of residents choosing subspecialty fellowships. The goal of this application is to enhance the scientific and didactic content in the area of Gynecologic Cancers at the SGI annual meeting, to provide increase access to the SGI's Annual Meeting for junior investigators and scientists in training, and to more widely publicize and disseminate the Annual Meeting's content. To meet these goals the following are proposed: 1) Enhancement of the Annual Meeting through recruitment of national and international faculty of the highest intellectual merit for postgraduate courses, mini-symposia and formal lectureships; 2) Financial support for the maximal participation of junior investigators in the area of cancer biology and Gynecologic Oncology, especially those from underrepresented groups; 3) Wider dissemination of the Annual Meeting's academic content with proceedings available on-line and on CD ROM. It is hoped that this initiative will stimulate greater interest in cancer research by those early in their careers, and will enhance the scientific exchange and collaboration of more senior investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）：妇科调查协会（SGI）的使命是促进妇产科的原创性研究，包括与妇科肿瘤学学科相关的基础和转化研究，并促进学员和学员的职业发展。它的初级成员。 SGI成员是一个由来自妇产科所有亚专业的基础、转化和临床研究人员组成的社区，包括妇科肿瘤学、生殖内分泌和不孕不育、母胎医学和泌尿妇科以及相关基础科学部门。 该协会的使命从未如此重要，因为一半的大学妇产科部门没有得到 NIH 的资助，而且在过去 10 年里，妇产科医师提交的 NIH 拨款实际上有所下降。 最不祥的是美国医学生申请妇产科住院医师的数量以及选择专科奖学金的住院医师数量的下降。 此应用程序的目标是增强 SGI 年会上妇科癌症领域的科学和教学内容，为初级研究人员和接受培训的科学家提供更多参加 SGI 年会的机会，并更广泛地宣传和传播年会内容。 为了实现这些目标，建议如下： 1) 通过聘请国内和国际最优秀的教师来开设研究生课程、小型研讨会和正式讲座，以增强年会的实力； 2) 为癌症生物学和妇科肿瘤学领域的初级研究人员最大限度地参与提供财政支持，特别是来自代表性不足群体的研究人员； 3) 通过在线和光盘上提供会议记录，更广泛地传播年会的学术内容。 希望这一举措能够激发职业生涯早期人员对癌症研究的更大兴趣，并加强更多资深研究人员的科学交流与合作。
