Project Summary The major goal of the 2024 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Mammalian Reproduction is to bring together a diverse and accomplished group of scientists from all over the world to exchange their most recent and cutting-edge research in mammalian reproductive sciences. The conference will begin with a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) specifically led by two young reproductive scientists and focused to enhance the professional development of postdoctoral and graduate student trainees who will participate in this exciting conference. Thus, through complementary and synergistic scientific and professional development programs, the 2024 GRS and GRC on Mammalian Reproduction will promote the following objectives throughout this conference: we will establish a highly positive and non-threatening atmosphere where researchers at all stages of career development and from diverse backgrounds can share their cutting-edge research, gain valuable feedback and expand their professional and academic networks; we have and will continue developing a scientific program that attracts the leading and inclusive researchers in basic, agricultural, and clinical reproductive sciences from around the world, including women and under-represented minorities, at all stages of career development; we will support the growth and development of early career scientists from diverse backgrounds in reproductive biology research to fully participate in this conference; and we will expose all participants at this conference to the most cutting-edge and game-changing research developments in reproductive sciences and promote critical and professional discourse from all and especially those with previously less representation to engage openly and honestly about these discoveries and their potential global impact. By completing these major objectives, we will contribute to the current and future development of the field of reproductive scientists where scientist from all backgrounds will be welcomed and succeed in this important scientific area.
