DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Society for Inherited Metabolic Disorders (SIMD) requests support to provide scholarships for trainees to attend its annual meetings in years 2012 to 2014. The 2012 meeting will be held in coordination with the American College of Medical Genetics Meeting in Charlotte, NC. The 2013 meeting will be held in conjunction with the International Congress on Inborn Errors of Metabolism in Barcelona, Spain, while the 2014 meeting will be held in a location to be determined. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are an important cause of mental retardation, cerebral palsy, neuromuscular disease, cardiac disorders, hepatic and renal dysfunction, arthritis, diabetes, growth failure and blindness. As the wide clinical and molecular spectrum of these disorders is being elucidated, in part fueled by the development of tandem mass spectroscopy and the rapid expansion of newborn screening programs, the number of affected individuals is now known to be much larger than originally recognized. In addition, therapies are available for some conditions, but few clinical trials have been performed to evaluate their efficacy. Thus, much remains to be done to better understand these severe disorders and develop effective treatments for them. For the U.S. to remain pre-eminent in this important area of research, it is essential to attract young investigators into the field. One effective mechanism to achieve this goal is to provide them with the opportunity to participate in the SIMD meeting, where they can explore the field and develop scientific ties to other established investigators. The SIMD meeting is held annually and participation, especially by young investigators, has been steadily increasing each year. The availability of NIH travel awards has been a major reason for this increase. Trainees seeking funding are required to submit an abstract describing original research to be presented at the meeting. We anticipate submission of 40 abstracts for presentation at each meeting from trainees/young investigators with twice that number for the international meeting (2013). Applications for travel awards will be competitively reviewed 3 months prior to each meeting, with the goal of making up to 25 annual awards of $ 1,000 each for the national meeting and up to 20 awards of $ 1,250 for the International meeting. Additional funds will be solicited from private sources. Women and minority applicants will be actively recruited.

描述（由申请人提供）：继承的代谢疾病协会（SIMD）请求支持，为受训者提供奖学金，以便学员参加2012年至2014年的年度会议。2012年会议将与美国医学遗传学会议协调举行在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特。 2013年的会议将与西班牙巴塞罗那的国际天生代谢错误国际大会共同举行，而2014年会议将在要确定的地点举行。天生的新陈代谢错误（IEM）是智力低下，脑瘫，神经肌肉疾病，心脏疾病，肝功能障碍，关节炎，糖尿病，糖尿病，生长衰竭和失明的重要原因。作为 这些疾病的广泛临床和分子光谱正在阐明，部分是由于串联质谱的发展和新生儿筛查程序的快速扩张所推动的，现在已知受影响的个体的数量比最初认识的要大得多。此外，在某些情况下可以使用疗法，但是很少进行临床试验来评估其功效。因此，要更好地理解这些严重的疾病并为它们开发有效的治疗措施还有很多工作要做。要使美国在这一重要的研究领域保持杰出知名度，必须吸引年轻的研究人员进入 场地。实现这一目标的一种有效机制是为他们提供参加SIMD会议的机会，在那里他们可以探索该领域并与其他知名研究人员建立科学联系。 SIMD会议每年举行，尤其是年轻的调查人员的参与，每年都在稳步增加。 NIH旅行奖的可用性一直是造成这种增长的主要原因。要求资助的学员必须提交一项摘要，描述要在会议上进行的原始研究。我们预计，在学员/年轻调查员的每次会议上，将提交40个摘要，以供国际会议（2013年）这一数字两倍。旅行奖的申请将是 在每次会议前3个月进行了竞争性审查，目的是为国际会议赢得多达25年的年度奖项，每次奖励每人1,000美元，最高20美元的奖项为1,250美元。额外的资金将从私人来源征集。妇女和少数民族申请人将被积极招募。
