DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The Teratology Society was founded in 1960 to foster exchange of information relating to congenital (birth) defects including their nature, cause, mechanism and prevention. In 2009 the Society will hold its 49th Annual Meeting in Puerto Rico. The meeting provides a place and time to network and indulge in discussions from philosophical to practical with established experts in the field, new researchers, and students. It is also a place and time to promote and express our scientific diversity as a Society of fellow clinicians, scientists and science policy regulators from academic, industrial, and government sectors. The Society understands the importance of encouraging and mentoring students and postdoctoral fellows, including fostering education and training as part of its strategic goals. The meeting agenda includes events and sessions to encourage student and postdoctoral fellow participation. There will be one platform session which highlights the research of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. This platform session is comprised of talks competitively selected from the pool of abstracts submitted for platform presentation by students and postdoctoral fellows. Those students and postdoctoral fellows whose abstracts are not selected for this session are included in other platform and poster sessions throughout the meeting. Students and postdoctoral fellow posters are marked as such in order to encourage interaction between the presenters and the members of the Society and meeting attendees. The Teratology Society recognizes that the students and fellows are the future of both the Society and the scientific discipline. Involving the students and fellows in the science by providing them an opportunity to present their research, interact with some of the leading scientists in the field, and form relationships that they will carry throughout their career is vital to the field of birth defects research. Many of these students and postdoctoral fellows rely on travel awards to assist them in offsetting the financial burden of attending the meeting. Without funding such as this, many would not be able to take advantage of the rich exchange of scientific information and new ideas generated at this scientific meeting. In this proposal, the investigators are requesting funds to defray part of the cost of travel awards. Travel awards will be granted to students and postdoctoral fellows presenting their research findings during the 2009 Teratology Society Annual Meeting.

描述（由申请人提供） Teratology Society成立于1960年，目的是促进与先天性（出生）缺陷有关的信息交换，包括其性质，原因，机制和预防。 2009年，该协会将在波多黎各举行第49届年度会议。这次会议为与该领域，新研究人员和学生的既定专家提供了网络和沉迷的讨论提供了一个网络和时间。这也是一个促进和表达我们作为学术，工业和政府部门的临床医生，科学家和科学政策监管机构社会的科学多样性的地方和时间。该社会了解鼓励和指导学生和博士后研究员的重要性，包括培养教育和培训，这是其战略目标的一部分。会议议程包括活动和会议，以鼓励学生和博士后参与。将有一个平台会议突出研究生和博士后研究员的研究。该平台会议由从学生和博士后研究员提交的平台演示的摘要中选出的竞争性演讲组成。在整个会议期间，其他平台和海报会议中都包括那些未在本次会议中选择摘要的学生和博士后研究员。为了鼓励主持人与社会成员与会议与会者之间的互动，学生和博士后海报被标记为这样。 Teratology Society认识到学生和研究员是社会和科学学科的未来。让学生和研究员参与科学，通过为他们提供机会介绍他们的研究，与该领域的一些主要科学家进行互动，并在整个职业生涯中形成关系，这对源缺陷研究领域至关重要。这些学生中的许多人和博士后研究员都依靠旅行奖来帮助他们抵消参加会议的经济负担。 如果没有这样的资金，许多人将无法利用在这次科学会议上产生的丰富的科学信息和新思想的交流。 在此提案中，调查人员要求资金支付部分旅行奖励的一部分。旅行奖将授予在2009年Teratogology Society年度会议期间的学生和博士后研究员。
