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, birth defects still remain a major public health concern in the world today and are the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States. Furthermore, we now recognize the need for concern for a wider 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 2013, the Society will hold its 53rd Annual Meeting at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tuscon, Arizona. The theme for the meeting is Application of Cutting-Edge Technologies to Improve Assessment, Treatment, Prevention, and Communication Regarding Birth Defects. Symposia topics include advances in genomic sciences, application of imaging technologies, predictive developmental toxicology, diabetes and pregnancy, prenatal origins of neuropsychiatric disorders, chemotherapeutics, and FDA pregnancy labeling. 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 so 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 scientists. 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 to: 1) request funds for Travel Awards to students and new and early stage investigators to attend the 2013 Annual Meeting and 2) 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.

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。尽管在理解和预防先天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，并且是美国婴儿死亡率的主要原因。此外，我们现在认识到需要关注更广泛的发育介导的疾病，这些疾病可能会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。 2013年，该协会将在亚利桑那州托斯康市的Loews Ventana Canyon Resort举行第53届年度会议。会议的主题是应用尖端技术来改善有关先天缺陷的评估，治疗，预防和沟通。研讨会主题包括基因组科学的进步，成像技术的应用，预测性发育毒理学，糖尿病和妊娠，神经精神疾病的产前起源，化学治疗学和FDA妊娠标记。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的关键要素，因此会议中包括了活动和会议，以鼓励学员参与。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，从而鼓励主持人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，以参加2013年年度会议，以及2）部分支持关键非会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。
