PROJECT SUMMARY Reproductive health underpins overall health and thus research in reproductive science and medicine is essential. This requires a steady pipeline of trained scientists and clinicians, which can be challenging given the relatively small size of the field. Professional opportunities outside the laboratory and classroom are essential to providing our trainees with important scientific, leadership, and career development experiences. Since 2008, Northwestern and other institutions in Illinois, including the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign (UIUC), have hosted a biannual meeting on a rotating basis entitled the Illinois Symposium for Reproductive Science (ISRS). Given the strengths of our collective focus on reproductive science, our extensive trainee community, as well as our established institutional infrastructures, our goal is to now expand this event to include five states and 16 institutions across the Upper Midwest region. This application seeks funds to support the Upper Midwest Summit for Reproductive Science. This conference will be hosted by Northwestern and the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign in alternate years. A hallmark of this event is that it is largely organized and coordinated by trainees, providing valuable leadership and professional development experience. The trainee planning committee will be responsible for identifying themes and speakers, hosting and chaperoning speakers, acting as session moderators, and working the registration table. The event will be held over a period of a day and a half and will consist of a variety of presentation formats. Dedicated poster sessions throughout the meeting allow participants to present their research, receive constructive feedback, and engage in constructive dialogue other attendees. Panel sessions and a career roundtable lunch will enhance the program by moving beyond the bench to discuss topics such as innovation, advocacy, and communication. There will also be an invited keynote speaker, who will be a luminary in the field, as well as an alumni speaker who will be someone who participated in the conference as a trainee and now has a successful career in our discipline. Sessions will be organized by topics and invited speakers and trainees will deliver oral presentations at this time. Throughout the conference there will be many opportunities for trainees to network with each other and the conference will be an annual opportunity for trainees to facilitate interaction among potential future lab mates, PIs, and collaborators. To further enhance the trainee experience, both institutions have committed to provide funds for trainee research awards for outstanding oral platforms and poster presentations. Priority will be given to individuals who are underrepresented in science to maximize broad participation of diverse speakers and trainees. Together we will leverage our collective institutional strengths to maintain the Upper Midwest Region as a preeminent nationwide leader in this critical research field.

项目概要 生殖健康是整体健康的基础，因此也是生殖科学和医学研究的基础 是必不可少的。这需要训练有素的科学家和临床医生的稳定渠道，这可能具有挑战性 鉴于该领域的规模相对较小。实验室外的专业机会和 课堂对于为我们的学员提供重要的科学、领导力和职业生涯至关重要 发展经验。自 2008 年以来，西北大学和伊利诺伊州的其他机构，包括 伊利诺伊大学香槟分校 (UIUC) 每年轮流主办一次会议 题为伊利诺伊州生殖科学研讨会（ISRS）。鉴于我们集体的力量 专注于生殖科学、我们广泛的实习生社区以及我们既定的机构 基础设施方面，我们现在的目标是将这一活动扩大到涵盖全美 5 个州和 16 个机构 中西部地区上部。该申请寻求资金支持中西部上游峰会 生殖科学。本次会议将由西北大学和伊利诺伊大学主办 厄巴纳·香槟 (Urbana Champaign) 每隔几年。此次活动的一个特点就是组织严密、 由学员协调，提供宝贵的领导力和专业发展经验。这 学员规划委员会将负责确定主题和演讲者、主持和 陪同演讲者，担任会议主持人，并负责登记表工作。此次活动将 为期一天半的会议将包括多种演示形式。投入的 整个会议期间的海报会议让参与者能够展示他们的研究成果， 建设性的反馈，并与其他与会者进行建设性的对话。小组会议和 职业圆桌午餐将超越工作台讨论诸如此类的话题，从而增强该计划 如创新、倡导和沟通。还将邀请一位主旨演讲者，他将 成为该领域的杰出人物，以及参加该活动的校友演讲者 作为实习生参加会议，现在在我们的学科中拥有成功的职业生涯。将组织会议 按主题，受邀演讲者和学员将在此时进行口头演讲。整个 会议将为学员提供很多相互交流以及与会议交流的机会 这将是学员每年一次的机会，可以促进未来潜在的实验室伙伴、PI、 和合作者。为了进一步增强学员的体验，两家机构都致力于 为杰出口头平台和海报展示的实习生研究奖提供资金。 将优先考虑在科学领域代表性不足的个人，以最大限度地扩大广泛参与 不同的演讲者和学员。我们将共同利用我们集体的机构优势 保持上中西部地区在这一关键研究领域的全国领先地位。
