# PERINATAL RESEARCH SOCIETY--ANNUAL MEETING

> **NIH NIH R13** · MAGEE-WOMEN'S HOSPITAL OF UPMC · 1994 · $7,500

## Abstract

The Perinatal Research Society was created 22 years ago to foster
scientific interchange among persons whose research interests are in the
area of perinatal medicine and developmental biology.  Once a year,
pediatricians, obstetricians and basic scientists are brought together
for an intensive two-day meeting for presentations by outstanding
scientists and for extensive discussions.  Initially, the membership
consisted of 99 scientists with one-third made up of each discipline:
Pediatrics, Obstetrics, and Basic Sciences.  The membership has been
increased to 150 members, but the same distribution among disciplines has
been maintained.  The original and continuing charges of the Society are:
1) encouragement of communication and collaboration between young
investigators and those more established; and 2) provision of active and
productive interchange between scientists of different disciplines who
share a common research interest in perinatal biology.

The specific purpose of this grant is to provide monies for partial
support of travel expenses for young investigators (less than six years
after completion of postdoctoral training) attending the meeting.  Names
of these individuals are solicited from chairpersons of a variety of
departments, including obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics, as well
as from deans of American medical schools and from NIH grantees.  The
annual meeting provides a forum for interaction among pediatricians,
obstetricians and basic scientists that is unique.  We feel that the
Perinatal Research Society, better than any comparable activity, conveys
the excitement and possibilities of perinatal research to young
investigators.
