This project will support early-career US researchers participating in an international mini-symposium titled "Mathematical Methods in Immunology and Infectious Disease Modeling" to be held as part of the summer school during the BIOMATH19 conference in Bedlewo, Poland in June 2019. The conference is an annual international event devoted to recent research breakthroughs and new mathematical challenges arising in life sciences. Early-career US researchers will be exposed to a broad international research community in biology, ecology, medicine, biotechnology, bioengineering, and environmental science. The proposed mini-symposium will be a satellite event of BIOMATH19 designed to develop expertise at the interface of complex dynamics, statistics, and computational science. The mathematical techniques presented have relevance beyond immunology and infectious diseases, with multiple applications in chemistry, neuroscience, physics, sociology, psychology, biometrics, homeland security and national defense. US mini-symposium attendees will establish valuable contacts with international peers, including members of an interdisciplinary consortium focusing on the prevention of vector borne diseases. The mini-symposium will include several talks delivered by the PIs to 20-30 participants, as well as short presentations by US early-career researchers. The objectives of the activity are to: 1) Present an up-to-date review of mathematical and statistical tools and new developments in mathematical epidemiology, and 2) Increase international participation by US-based researchers, especially junior faculty and post-doctoral fellows interested in mathematical biology. Fifteen early-career, US-based participants will be supported. Applications will be solicited broadly across the mathematical biology community; women and members of underrepresented groups will be particularly encouraged to apply. The US attendees will also have an opportunity to interact with an interdisciplinary consortium of European researchers focusing on the Investigation & Mathematical Analysis of Avant-garde Disease Control via Mosquito Nano-Tech-Repellents (IMAAC).

该项目将支持早期的美国研究人员参加国际迷你群岛，称为“免疫学和传染病模型的数学方法”，将在2019年6月举行的Biomath19在波兰的Bedlewo举行的暑期学校举行。美国研究人员将接触到生物学，生态学，医学，生物技术，生物工程和环境科学领域的广泛国际研究界。拟议的迷你群岛将是Biomath19的卫星事件，旨在在复杂动力学，统计和计算科学的界面上发展专业知识。提出的数学技术超出了免疫学和传染病之外的相关性，并在化学，神经科学，物理学，社会学，心理学，生物特征，国土安全和国防方面具有多种应用。美国迷你群岛的参与者将与国际同行建立宝贵的联系，其中包括跨学科财团的成员，重点是预防媒介传播疾病。迷你群岛将包括PIS向20-30名参与者发表的几次演讲，以及美国早期研究人员的简短演讲。该活动的目的是：1）对数学和统计工具以及数学流行病学的新发展以及2）提高美国研究人员的国际参与，尤其是初级教职员工和对数学生物学感兴趣的博士后研究员的最新回顾。将支持15名早期职业人士，美国的参与者。 应用程序将在整个数学生物学社区中广泛征求；特别鼓励妇女和代表性不足的团体的成员申请。 美国与会者还将有机会与欧洲研究人员的跨学科财团进行互动，该联盟重点是通过蚊子纳米技术研究者（IMAAC）对前卫疾病控制的研究和数学分析。 BIOMATH19会议详细信息可以在网站上找到：https：//www.impan.pl/en/activities/banach-center/conferences/19-biomaththis Award反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响来评估的支持，并被认为是值得的。
