Project Summary This application is to request funds to provide partial support for the 9th International Symposium on the Biology of Vertebrate Sex Determination in April of 2023. This symposium has been held at 3-year intervals since its inception in 1997. Due to the pandemic, the originally scheduled symposium in 2021 was postponed to 2023. This unique symposium is attended by the entire international field working on sex determination in diverse vertebrate systems, such as amphibians, fishes, birds, reptiles, monotreme, marsupial, and eutherian mammals, including domesticated species, mice, and humans. It is nearly impossible to keep up with the advances made in so many diverse vertebrate systems. Therefore, the objective of this symposium is to bring the community together so that junior and senior scientists can exchange information, using a comparative approach to advance our understanding of the process of sex determination, sex differentiation, disorders and differences of sex development, and environmental impacts on this process. The first eight symposia yielded many collaborations: reagents were exchanged, experiments planned, and new ways of investigating sex determination discussed. The last symposium in 2018 attracted many junior scientists (~70% of the participants), including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and assistant professors. We propose to continue and enhance this tradition by including trainees and junior faculty on the organization committee and empowering them to organize activities beneficial to their careers. We also emphasize on enhancing diversity and creating a harassment-free conference environment. We expect the 9th Symposium to be as productive and stimulating as the previousones and will bring the scientific community together after a 5-year hiatus.

项目摘要 该申请是要求资金为第9个国际生物学研讨会提供部分支持 2023年4月的脊椎动物性别确定。该研讨会以来一直以3年的间隔举行 1997年的成立。由于大流行，原定于2021年原定的研讨会被推迟到2023年。 整个国际领域都参加了此独特的研讨会，从事多样化的性别确定 脊椎动物系统，例如两栖动物，鱼类，鸟类，爬行动物，单纤维，有袋动物和Eutherian哺乳动物， 包括驯养的物种，小鼠和人类。跟上所取得的进步几乎不可能 在许多不同的脊椎动物系统中。因此，本次研讨会的目的是将社区带来 一起使用比较方法来交换初级和高级科学家 我们对性别决定，性别差异，疾病和性别差异的理解 发展以及环境对这一过程的影响。前八个研讨会产生了许多合作： 交换了试剂，计划的实验以及讨论了性别确定的新方法。 2018年的最后一次研讨会吸引了许多初级科学家（约70％的参与者），包括研究生 学生，博士后研究员和助理教授。我们建议通过 包括学员和组织委员会的初级教师，并授权他们组织活动 对他们的职业有益。我们还强调增强多样性并制造无骚扰 会议环境。我们预计第9次研讨会能够像上一个 并将在休假5年后将科学界聚集在一起。
