项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Teratology Society was founded in 1960 to foster the exchange of information relating to the causes and prevention of congenital (birth) defects. While much progress in understanding and preventing birth defects has been made over the past 50 years, birth defects still remain a major public health concern in the world today and are the leading cause of infant mortality in the U.S. Furthermore, public concerns have expanded more broadly to include a wide range of developmentally-mediated disorders which can be affected by a multitude of factors which include not only drugs and chemicals, but also diet, genetics and socioeconomic factors. The Society's diverse membership, which includes clinicians, scientists and science policy regulators from governmental, academic, and industrial sectors, is uniquely suited to address these challenges. In 2012, the Society will hold its 52nd Annual Meeting at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel in Baltimore, MD. The topics for this meeting include maternal/fetal health in developing countries, effects of nuclear disasters on development, impact of Vitamin D deficiency on development, international regulatory controversies concerning maternal and fetal health, and novel computational approaches for assessing developmental safety. The Society understands the importance of encouraging and mentoring students and new and early stage investigators (trainees). Education and training are key elements of the Society's strategic goals and events and sessions are included in the meeting that encourage trainee participation. There is a platform session comprised of talks competitively selected from trainee-submitted abstracts. The presentations are judged by senior Society members and the two top presenters receive an award. The remaining trainee abstracts are included in sessions throughout the meeting. Those selected to present posters have signage at their poster board to indicate their trainee status and compete for best poster awards, encouraging interaction among the presenters and the established scientist. In addition, there is a career night event that is designed to promote networking between trainees and scientists in a relaxed forum that promotes open discussions related to future plans and career opportunities. The trainees are also encouraged to serve as ad hoc members on the majority of the Society's committees, thereby deepening their involvement within the Society. The specific aims of this application are: 1) to request funds for Travel Awards to students and new and early stage investigators to attend the 2012 Annual Meeting and 2) to partially support travel expenses for key non-member speakers. The Society believes that its trainees are the future of both the Society and the scientific endeavors fostered by its community of scientists. Travel awards help offset the financial burden that might otherwise prevent trainees from attending. The application also requests funds to partially defray travel costs for invited non-member speakers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Teratology Society, the professional organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of birth defects, brings together academic, industrial, and governmental health scientists who investigate the causes and biological processes leading to birth defects and developmental disabilities. Committed to the support, encouragement, and training of students and new and early stage investigators, the Society understands the importance of involving them in its Annual Meeting to maintain a continuous supply of trainees in this important area of public health. Both the scientific objectives and the training and outreach goals of the annual meetings require external support for student and postdoctoral fellow travel awards and for invited speaker travel.

描述（由申请人提供）：Teratology Society成立于1960年，目的是促进与先天性（出生）缺陷有关的信息交换。尽管在过去的50年中，在理解和预防出生缺陷方面取得了很多进展，但当今世界上的出生缺陷仍然是一个主要的公共卫生问题而且，这是美国婴儿死亡率的主要原因，此外，公众的关注已扩大，包括广泛的发育介导的疾病，这些疾病可能受到多种因素的影响，这些因素不仅包括药物和化学物质，还包括饮食，遗传学和社会经济因素。该协会的不同成员资格包括政府，学术和工业部门的临床医生，科学家和科学政策监管机构，非常适合应对这些挑战。 2012年，该协会将在马里兰州巴尔的摩的巴尔的摩万豪海滨酒店举行第52届年度会议。这次会议的主题包括发展中国家的产妇/胎儿健康，核灾难对发育的影响，维生素D缺乏对发展的影响，国际监管争议对孕产妇和胎儿健康的影响以及评估发育安全的新型计算方法。该社会了解鼓励和指导学生以及新的和早期阶段调查员（受训者）的重要性。教育和培训是社会战略目标和活动的关键要素，会议包括鼓励学员参与的会议。有一个平台会议由从学员摘要的摘要中选出的演讲组成。演讲由高级学会成员评判，两个顶级主持人获得奖励。在整个会议期间，其余的学员摘要都包含在会议中。那些被选为介绍海报的人在海报委员会上有标牌，以表明他们的学员身份并竞争最佳海报奖，从而鼓励演讲者和既定科学家之间的互动。此外，还有一个职业夜活动，旨在在一个轻松的论坛中促进学员和科学家之间的网络，该论坛促进与未来计划和职业机会有关的开放讨论。还鼓励学员担任大多数社会委员会的临时成员，从而加深他们在社会中的参与。本申请的具体目的是：1）向学生和新阶段调查人员索取旅行奖励的资金，以参加2012年会议，2）部分支持主要的非成员发言人的旅行费用。该社会认为，其学员是社会的未来，也是其科学家社区促进的科学努力。旅行奖有助于抵消可能阻止受训人员参加的经济负担。该申请还要求资金部分支付被邀请的非会员发言人的部分支付旅行费用。公共卫生相关性：Teratology Society，专业组织致力于预防和治疗先天缺陷，汇集了研究原因和生物学过程的学术，工业和政府健康科学家，导致了出生缺陷和发育障碍。该协会致力于对学生以及新的和早期阶段调查人员的支持，鼓励和培训，了解他们参与年度会议的重要性，以维持在这一重要的公共卫生领域的持续供应者。年度会议的科学目标以及培训和外展目标都需要为学生和博士后旅行奖和受邀演讲者旅行提供外部支持。
