项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The specific aim of this proposal is to obtain partial funding for the co-organization of the 2014 Weinstein Cardiovascular Development Conference in Madrid (Spain). The Weinstein Cardiovascular Development Conference originated from a series of annual meetings in which investigators funded by three separate RFAs on Cardiac Development in 1986, 1988, and 1990 came together under the direction of Dr. Constance Weinstein and colleagues at the NHLBI. Ever since its inception, the 3-day Weinstein meeting has been the premier opportunity for clinicians and researchers in the field of cardiovascular development to meet and share data and ideas on various topics including experimental cardiovascular embryology, cardiac function, genetics of human cardiovascular disease, cardiac stem cell biology, and transcriptional control of gene expression. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of the Weinstein Meeting for the development and growth of the field of cardiovascular developmental biology. The Weinstein program is entirely research community driven, with several features that make it unique among scientific conferences. The objectives of each meeting are to bring together basic and clinical scientists working in the areas of cardiovascular biology, to provide an interactive forum for students, postdocs and junior investigators to present their work and interact with senior investigators, and to actively support diversity in science. In this proposal financial support is requested for the 2015 Weinstein meeting to be held in Boston. Funds will be used 1) to reduce student registration fees, 2) to provide financial assistance for under-represented groups, and 3) to support general meeting obligations.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的具体目的是为在马德里（西班牙）联合举办2014年韦恩斯坦心血管发展会议获得部分资金。韦恩斯坦心血管发展会议源于一系列年会，其中包括： 1986 年、1988 年和 1990 年，由三个关于心脏发育的独立 RFA 资助的研究人员在康斯坦斯·韦恩斯坦 (Constance Weinstein) 博士及其同事的指导下聚集在一起NHLBI 自成立以来，为期 3 天的韦恩斯坦会议一直是心血管发育领域的殖民者和研究人员会面并分享各种主题的数据和想法的绝佳机会，包括心血管实验胚胎学、心脏功能、人类心血管遗传学。疾病、心脏干细胞生物学和基因表达的转录控制怎么估计都不为过。韦恩斯坦会议对心血管发育生物学领域的发展和发展的重要性韦恩斯坦计划完全是由研究界驱动的，其几个特点使其在科学会议中独一无二。在心血管生物学领域工作的临床科学家，为学生、博士后和初级研究人员提供一个互动论坛，展示他们的工作并与高级研究人员互动，并积极支持该提案要求为 2015 年在波士顿举行的韦恩斯坦会议提供财政支持，资金将用于 1) 减少学生注册费，2) 为代表性不足的群体提供财政援助，以及 3)支持股东大会的义务。
