# Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Reproduction

> **NIH NIH R13** · SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF REPRODUCTION · 2020 · $25,000

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
The Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR) holds an annual scientific meeting attended by ~900 basic
and clinical researchers, teachers, and undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral trainees, from universities,
medical schools, research institutes, and clinics in the U.S. and more than 30 other countries. The three-fold
goal of every meeting is (1) to present state-of-the-art research in the biology underlying and associated with
reproductive processes; (2) to provide an environment that encourages scientific dialogue, and (3) to provide a
meeting program, setting, and culture that promotes the professional development of trainees and early stage
investigators. Each meeting consists of plenary and state-of-the-art lectures by world-class scientists, and
concurrent sessions (with 2-4 speakers in each) that focus on subjects of interest to scientists in biomedical,
clinical, and animal science, and researchers who concentrate on wildlife and environmental preservation.
Oral and poster presentations (typically 50-100 and 500-600, respectively) highlight research contributions by
scientists from a range of career stages, most especially trainees. These presentations are selected from
submitted abstracts, based on review by the Program Committee. Abstracts submitted for trainee award
competitions also are reviewed by the SSR's Awards Committee. This grant application is a renewal for partial
support for the 2018 meeting and the subsequent meetings through 2022. The 2018 meeting will be held at
the Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the 2019 meeting will be at the San
Jose McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. The selection process for the 2020 meeting venue
is down to two finalist sites, Atlanta, Georgia and Ottawa, Ontario. Support is requested specifically for travel
and lodging expenses for invited speakers (including but not limited to Keynote, President's Symposium, and
State-of-the-Art speakers, and for non-SSR member speakers in focus sessions), and to support travel awards
for trainees with meritorious abstracts and documented need who are not supported by an NRSA and who
meet the NIH criteria for funding. Participation of underrepresented minorities is encouraged in all aspects of
the meeting, and a highlight of the meeting is the lecture and lunch hosted by the Diversity Committee. In
designing the program of the Annual Meeting, each Program Committee incorporates translational research
and clinical applications. Exchange lectures with the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), the
Society for Reproductive Investigation (SRI), the Society for Reproduction and Fertility (SRF), and Society for
Reproductive Biology (SRB) emphasize recent advances in reproductive health, and highlight the SSR's bonds
with sister societies. The Program Committee also ensures topic, gender, race, and geographic balance in
designing each program. The SSR meeting provides an atmosphere of learning ...
