DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The Teratology Society will hold its 47th Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, PA from June 23-28, 2007. The meeting attendees historically come from a diverse professional background including basic and clinical scientists from the academic, industrial and government research sectors. This rich and scientifically diverse mix of professionals meets in an informal setting that encourages open exchange of ideas and the latest experimental findings. The Teratology Society recognizes the importance of encouraging and mentoring students and postdoctoral fellows. One of the Platform Sessions during the Annual Meeting highlights the research of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. This Platform Session is comprised of talks competitively selected from the pool of abstracts submitted for platform presentation by students and post doctoral fellows. Those whose abstracts are not submitted or selected for this session are included in other platform and poster sessions throughout the meeting. During the poster sessions, abstracts presented by students and postdoctoral fellows are marked as such in order to encourage interaction between the presenters and the members of the Society and meeting attendees. These steps are part of the Teratology Society strategic goal of fostering education and training. The Teratology Society recognizes that the student and fellows are the future of both the Society and the scientific discipline. Involving the students and fellows in the science by providing them an opportunity to present their research, interact with some of the leading scientists in the field, and form relationships that they will carry throughout their career is vital to field of birth defects research. Many of these students and postdoctoral fellows rely on travel awards to assist them in offsetting the financial burden of attending the meeting. Without funding such as this, many would not be able to take advantage of the rich exchange of scientific information and new ideas generated at this scientific meeting. In this proposal, the investigators are requesting funds to defray part of the cost of travel awards, which will be granted to students and postdoctoral fellows presenting their research findings at the 2007 Teratology Society Annual Meeting.

描述（由申请人提供） 畸形学协会将于 2007 年 6 月 23 日至 28 日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行第 47 届年会。历来，与会者来自不同的专业背景，包括来自学术、工业和政府研究部门的基础和临床科学家。这种丰富且科学多样化的专业人士在非正式的环境中会面，鼓励公开交流思想和最新的实验结果。畸胎学协会认识到鼓励和指导学生和博士后研究员的重要性。年会期间的平台会议之一重点介绍了研究生和博士后研究人员的研究。该平台会议由学生和博士后研究员从提交用于平台演示的摘要库中竞争性选出的演讲组成。那些未提交或未入选本次会议的摘要的人将被纳入整个会议的其他平台和海报会议。在海报会议期间，学生和博士后研究员提交的摘要会被标记，以鼓励演讲者与学会成员和与会者之间的互动。这些步骤是畸形学协会促进教育和培训战略目标的一部分。畸胎学学会认识到学生和研究员是学会和科学学科的未来。 让学生和研究员参与科学，为他们提供展示研究的机会，与该领域的一些领先科学家互动，并建立他们将在整个职业生涯中保持的关系，这对于出生缺陷研究领域至关重要。这些学生和博士后中的许多人依靠旅行奖励来帮助他们抵消参加会议的经济负担。如果没有这样的资金，许多人将无法利用本次科学会议上丰富的科学信息交流和新思想。 在这项提案中，研究人员要求提供资金来支付部分旅行奖励费用，这些奖励将颁发给在 2007 年畸胎学协会年会上展示其研究成果的学生和博士后研究员。
