DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Frontiers in Reproduction (FIR) is a 6-week long course held every summer at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole MA. FIR is a dynamic and evolving entity offering a series of daily lectures on cutting edge topics, followed by extensive discussions, laboratory research, workshops and informal seminars. Since it inception in 1998 FIR has aimed to train beginning independent scientists, advanced postdoctoral fellows in the basic or clinical sciences, as well as graduate students who are committed to clinical and basic research careers in the Reproductive Sciences. FIR is directed by a Board of Scientific Counselors composed of scientists who direct basic or translational research programs in the Reproductive Sciences and represent the human reproduction subspecialties of Reproductive Endocrinology and Maternal-Fetal Medicine. The FIR course itself is divided into three sections and organized by one lead director and three section directors. Section 1 covers signal transduction and gene expression in reproductive endocrinology. Section 2 covers mouse transgenesis, fertilization, implantation, and embryo-maternal interactions. Section 3 covers gametogenesis and fertilization, and preimplantation and peri-implantation development. The course directors and the participating faculty and lecturers are selected because of their leadership positions in the Reproductive Sciences. FIR ends with a 2-day symposium featuring lectures by 2 or 3 outstanding reproductive scientists followed by research presentations from all current students and selected alumni. The overall purpose of FIR is to train the next generation of reproductive scientists and to promote collaborations and mentorship among junior and senior reproductive scientists. FIR has now been continuously held for 12 years and all indications are that we have been successful in attaining these goals.

描述（由申请人提供）：繁殖前沿 (FIR) 是一个为期 6 周的课程，每年夏天在马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的海洋生物实验室举办。 FIR 是一个充满活力且不断发展的实体，每天提供一系列前沿主题讲座，随后进行广泛的讨论、实验室研究、研讨会和非正式研讨会。自 1998 年成立以来，FIR 一直致力于培养初级独立科学家、基础科学或临床科学领域的高级博士后研究员，以及致力于生殖科学领域临床和基础研究职业的研究生。 FIR 由科学顾问委员会领导，该委员会由科学家组成，他们指导生殖科学领域的基础或转化研究项目，并代表生殖内分泌学和母胎医学的人类生殖亚专业。 FIR 课程本身分为三个部分，由一名首席主任和三名部分主任组织。第 1 部分涵盖生殖内分泌学中的信号转导和基因表达。第 2 部分涵盖小鼠转基因、受精、植入和胚胎-母体相互作用。第 3 部分涵盖配子发生和受精，以及植入前和植入周围发育。课程主任以及参与的教师和讲师是根据他们在生殖科学领域的领导地位而选出的。 FIR 以为期 2 天的研讨会结束，研讨会由 2 或 3 名杰出的生殖科学家主讲，随后由所有在校学生和选定的校友进行研究报告。 FIR 的总体目的是培训下一代生殖科学家，并促进初级和高级生殖科学家之间的合作和指导。 FIR现已连续举办12年，一切迹象表明我们已经成功实现了这些目标。
