DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting partial financial support to defray speaker travel expenses associated with the 14th meeting of the International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis (ISPD), to be held June 1-4, 2008 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The ISPD is a unique, multidisciplinary society that includes obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, clinical geneticists, laboratory-based geneticists, genetic counselors, fetal surgeons, researchers, social scientists, and ethicists who work within the discipline of prenatal diagnosis. The ISPD meets every 2 years in different locations. The 2008 Scientific Program includes 24 internationally renowned invited speakers, and 8 thought leaders who will debate 4 different timely topics within the field. Enthusiasm for the conference is evidenced by the fact that 100% of the invited speakers accepted the invitation to participate. In addition, oral and poster presentations will be accepted from submitted abstracts. Topics to be covered include state-of-the-art cytogenetic diagnostic techniques (array-comparative genomic hybridization, copy number variation), preimplantation genetic diagnosis, fetal imaging, placental function and fetal growth, twin-to-twin transfusion, effects of obesity and viral infection on birth defects, fetal cardiac therapy, population screening for single gene disorders, and cell-free nucleic acids in maternal blood. As a result of attending the ISPD conference participants will be exposed to a wide-range of timely topics that will directly affect their clinical practice and will create new research agendas. Exposure to the debate topics will inform participants regarding current areas of controversy. The multidisciplinary topics and varied backgrounds of the attendees will lead to lively scientific interchange and out-of-the box thinking. Project Narrative The goal of prenatal diagnosis is to provide pregnant woman and their partners with information that allows them to build healthy families. Prenatal diagnosis also allows an opportunity to provide fetal therapy. The goal of this conference is to inform and promote discussions between clinicians, scientists, non-physician health care providers, clinical laboratory directors, and social scientists regarding work in this discipline. As a result of the conference, participants will be able to identify limitations and gaps in current practice and knowledge and develop a research agenda going forward.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们要求与国际产前诊断学会（ISPD）第14届会议（2008年6月1日至4日在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行的国际诊断学会（ISPD）会议）相关的部分财政支持。 ISPD是一个独特的，多学科的社会，包括产科医生，母性医学专家，临床遗传学家，基于实验室的遗传学家，遗传咨询师，胎儿外科医生，研究人员，社会科学家和伦理学家，他们在产前诊断的学科中工作。 ISPD每2年在不同的位置开会一次。 2008年的科学计划包括24个国际知名的邀请演讲者，以及8位将在该领域辩论4个不同及时主题的思想领袖。这一事实证明了对会议的热情证明，有100％的邀请发言人接受了参加的邀请。此外，将从提交的摘要中接受口头和海报演示文稿。 Topics to be covered include state-of-the-art cytogenetic diagnostic techniques (array-comparative genomic hybridization, copy number variation), preimplantation genetic diagnosis, fetal imaging, placental function and fetal growth, twin-to-twin transfusion, effects of obesity and viral infection on birth defects, fetal cardiac therapy, population screening for single gene disorders, and cell-free nucleic acids在母血。参加ISPD会议参与者的结果将接触到广泛的及时主题，这些主题将直接影响其临床实践，并将创建新的研究议程。接触辩论主题将告知参与者当前的争议领域。与会者的多学科主题和各种背景将导致生动的科学交换和框外思考。项目叙事的产前诊断目标是为孕妇及其伴侣提供允许他们建立健康家庭的信息。产前诊断还允许提供胎儿治疗的机会。这次会议的目的是告知和促进临床医生，科学家，非医学医疗保健提供者，临床实验室主任和社会科学家之间有关该学科工作的讨论。会议的结果是，参与者将能够确定当前实践和知识中的局限性和差距，并制定研究议程。
