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.

项目概要 本申请为第九届国际生物学研讨会申请资金提供部分支持 2023年4月脊椎动物性别决定会议。该研讨会自举办以来每3年举办一次 1997年创办，由于疫情影响，原定于2021年举行的研讨会推迟至2023年。 这次独特的研讨会吸引了整个国际领域从事不同领域性别决定工作的人士参加。 脊椎动物系统，例如两栖动物、鱼类、鸟类、爬行动物、单孔类、有袋类和真兽类哺乳动物， 包括驯养物种、小鼠和人类。跟上所取得的进步几乎是不可能的 在许多不同的脊椎动物系统中。因此，本次研讨会的目的是让社会 以便初级和高级科学家能够交流信息，使用比较方法来推进 我们对性别决定过程、性别分化、性别障碍和差异的理解 发展以及该过程对环境的影响。前八次研讨会产生了许多合作成果： 交换了试剂，计划了实验，并讨论了研究性别决定的新方法。 2018 年的最后一次研讨会吸引了许多年轻科学家（约占参与者的 70%），其中包括研究生 学生、博士后研究员和助理教授。我们建议继续并发扬这一传统 将学员和初级教师纳入组织委员会，并授权他们组织活动 对他们的职业生涯有利。我们还强调增强多样性并创造无骚扰的环境 会议环境。我们期待第九届研讨会与往届一样富有成效和启发性 并将在五年的中断后将科学界聚集在一起。
