Adobe Reader Documents

Adobe Acrobat

This site makes extensive use of PDF forms and documents that were created with Adobe products. To view and print these forms, you'll need to download a free version of Adobe Reader. If you already have Reader on your computer, you do not need to download it again. If you print them out from the Adobe Reader on A4 paper, you will need to select the “shrink-to-fit” option. You may also have to use this option if you print on paper that is either narrower or shorter than the original size (mostly 8-1/2"x11").

PDF 2011 Letter from the President

Since 1967, SSR has promoted cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of reproductive biology by fostering communication within the sciences through its annual conferences and publication of meritorious studies in its journal, Biology of Reproduction. In addition, the Society places great emphasis on the development and mentoring of young scientists.

Through philanthropic support of SSR, you can make a strong statement about your commitment to SSR’s mission. Contributions from members and friends are used in their entirety to support the programs through which the Society pursues its objectives. With your help, SSR will continue to serve the world community by focusing on important problems in human and animal reproduction relative to medicine, agriculture, and basic biology.

The Society is a 501(c)(3) corporation, and all gifts are US-tax-deductible. All donations and their tax deductibility are acknowledged by a letter from the SSR President in January of each year, and donors are listed in the February issue of the SSR Newsletter.

SSR Charitable Funds

If you would like to make a gift to the SSR, you may choose from among the following charitable opportunities:

SSR Endowment Fund

Income from the Endowment Fund is intended to provide vital resources for new initiatives such as travel fellowships for foreign scientists and to underwrite special meetings and programs.

Anita Payne Endowment Fund

The purpose of this fund is twofold: to provide funds for SSR trainees to attend leading-edge courses on reproductive biology (e.g., Frontiers in Reproduction, Cold Spring Harbor courses & workshops, etc.) and to fund the Anita Payne New Perspectives on Reproductive Biology Lecture, featuring a plenary lecture at the SSR Annual Meeting by a promising junior investigator.

BOR Legacy Fund

The BOR Legacy Fund supports maintenance and enhancement of Biology of Reproduction.

New Investigator Fund

The New Investigator Fund supports the New Investigator Award, which recognizes an active, Regular member of the Society for outstanding research completed and published within 10 years after receiving their PhD or other equivalent professional degree.

Mahesh Neuroendocrine Program Fund

The Neuroendocrine Program Fund provides funding for a symposium, plenary session, or similar event at the Annual Meeting with a focus on neuroendocrinology.

Trainee-Mentoring Fund

The Trainee-Mentoring Fund supports the Trainee-Mentoring Award, which is given each year to an SSR member who as a mentor has consistently demonstrated a measure of support and guidance to Trainees that far exceeds the basic responsibilities required of an academic advisor.

Larry Ewing Memorial Trainee Travel Fund

The LEMTTF provides travel assistance to Trainee Members of the Society to attend and present their research results at the Society’s Annual Meeting.

Past Presidents’ Endowment Fund

Donations to the Past Presidents’ Endowment Fund are designated for the SSR’s Annual Meeting.
