 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（由适用提供）：该提案的具体目的是为马德里（西班牙）2014年Weinstein心血管发展会议共组织的部分资金。温斯坦心血管发展会议源自一系列年度会议，在1986年，1988年，1988年和1990年，由三个独立的心脏发展RFA资助的调查人员在NHLBI的Constance Weinstein及其同事的指导下聚集在一起。自成立以来，为期三天的温斯坦会议一直是心血管发展领域的临床医生和研究人员的首要机会，以满足和分享有关各种主题的数据和想法，包括实验性心血管胚胎学，心脏功能，人类心血管疾病的遗传学，人类心脏干细胞生物学和基因的转录对照。不可能高估 温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。温斯坦计划完全是研究社区驱动的，具有多种功能，使其在科学会议中独一无二。每次会议的目标是将在心血管生物学领域工作的基本和临床科学家汇集在一起​​，为学生，博士后和初级调查人员提供互动论坛，以展示他们的工作并与高级研究人员互动，并积极支持 科学多样性。在此提案中，要求在2015年在波士顿举行的Weinstein会议。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经济援助，以及3）支持股东大会义务。
