项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Society of Andrology links basic science, clinical practice and public health in an interdisciplinary manner. It has done this since the society held its first meeting in 1975. This competing renewal proposal seeks support for the annual meeting of the society for the next five years. The annual meeting is designed to attract attendees from all areas of male reproductive biology and medicine and to foster their interaction through an integrated scientific program. The meeting is relatively small, usually attracting about 250 to 350 attendees. The plenary sessions are designed to be inclusive, encompassing a "bench to bedside" approach allowing all attendees, regardless of their individual research interests, to attend all sessions. This allows interactions among basic scientists studying male reproduction (cell and molecular biology of spermatogenesis, fertilization, reproductive organ and genital tract development and function, penile physiology, mechanisms of endocrine action, genetics, physiology of reproduction and sexual function), clinicians (urologists, andrologists, endocrinologists, oncologists, psychologists and psychiatrists and other experts in sexual medicine) and clinical laboratorians working in the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility. The 2011 meeting (36th) annual meeting, scheduled for April 2-5 in Montreal, Canada will continue this fine tradition over a 2.5 day period. The meeting will consist of plenary 1- hour lectures, symposia (3 half-hour talks), short 15 minute oral presentations of selected abstracts and poster sessions. The selected topics will bring participants the latest research findings in all aspects of male reproductive biology and medicine ranging from stem cells to genetics and genomics to endocrine causes of infertility to environmental effects on men's health. Areas of sexual medicine are now included at the meeting as well. The meeting will be complemented by a 1 day hands-on Andrology Laboratory Workshop and an afternoon clinical symposium. Support of the American Society of Andrology Annual Meeting will allow us to continue our significant trainee travel support and enable us to invite outstanding experts in all areas of Andrology to present their most recent findings. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The annual meeting of the American Society of Andrology plays a key role in the development of careers of andrologists during all phases of their training and afterwards. All aspects of Andrology are covered including basic mechanisms regulating male reproductive development and function, and medical issues (congenitogenitourinary defects, endocrine deficiencies, cancer, infertility and deficiencies caused by aging).

描述（由申请人提供）：美国男科学会以跨学科的方式将基础科学、临床实践和公共卫生联系起来。自该协会于 1975 年召开第一次会议以来，它就一直这样做。这一竞争性的更新提案寻求对未来五年协会年会的支持。年会旨在吸引来自男性生殖生物学和医学各个领域的与会者，并通过综合科学计划促进他们的互动。会议规模相对较小，通常吸引约 250 至 350 人参加。全体会议的设计具有包容性，采用“从工作台到床边”的方式，允许所有与会者，无论其个人研究兴趣如何，都可以参加所有会议。这使得研究男性生殖的基础科学家（精子发生、受精、生殖器官和生殖道发育和功能的细胞和分子生物学、阴茎生理学、内分泌作用机制、遗传学、生殖生理学和性功能）、临床医生（泌尿科医生、男科医生、内分泌学家、肿瘤学家、心理学家和精神病学家以及其他性医学专家）以及从事男性不育症诊断和治疗的临床实验室人员。定于4月2日至5日在加拿大蒙特利尔举行的2011年（第36届）年会将延续这一优良传统，为期2.5天。会议将包括 1 小时的全体演讲、专题讨论会（3 个半小时的演讲）、简短的 15 分钟精选摘要口头报告和海报会议。选定的主题将为参与者带来男性生殖生物学和医学各个方面的最新研究成果，从干细胞到遗传学和基因组学，再到不孕不育的内分泌原因，再到环境对男性健康的影响。性医学领域现在也被纳入会议。会议还将举办为期 1 天的男科实验室实践研讨会和下午的临床研讨会。美国男科学会年会的支持将使我们能够继续为学员提供重要的旅行支持，并使我们能够邀请男科学各个领域的杰出专家来展示他们的最新发现。公共健康相关性：美国男科学会年会在男科医生培训和培训后的各个阶段的职业发展中发挥着关键作用。涵盖男科的各个方面，包括调节男性生殖发育和功能的基本机制，以及医学问题（先天性生殖泌尿缺陷、内分泌缺陷、癌症、不孕症和衰老引起的缺陷）。
