Conference Summary The Rocky Mountain Virology Association will hold its 21st annual meeting in October 2021. The meeting brings together regional and national investigators in virology and prion biology for a 3-day retreat-style conference with extensive interaction and collaboration. The original meeting was organized by investigators in Colorado and Wyoming who were interested in the free and open exchange of scientific data and ideas concerning general virology in a venue that promotes collaboration among students, post-doctoral researchers and faculty members. Specifically, our annual meeting at the Mountain Campus of Colorado State University encourages young scientists to present their research and receive feedback from established scientists. The goals are promotion of scientific interactions and training. A major benefit of participation has been the novel collaborations that arise between scientists in different disciplines. The topics discussed include medical virology (vaccines, epidemiology, viral zoonoses), arthropod-borne diseases (RNA viruses, metabolism, viral vectors and vector biology), host defenses (viral immunology and pathogenesis), prion biology, cancer biology and systems biology. Special sessions on HIV pathogenesis, vaccine development, pandemic influenza, prions, virus discovery and the global impact of viral diseases have been featured at past meetings. The 2020 meeting featured perhaps the most disparate, yet now intimately tied fields, epidemiology and epigenetics. The next meeting will feature a retrospective on the COVID-19 pandemic with discussions on successful approaches and establishment of systems for future challenges. The attendees include scientists from Colorado State University, The University of Colorado, the University of Wyoming, the University of Northern Colorado, the Centers for Disease Control (Fort Collins) and the Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service as well as scientists from regional biotech companies, and universities in Iowa, Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana, New Mexico and Utah. The Rocky Mountain Virology Association was incorporated in 2010 as a tax-exempt educational charity (Section 501(c)(3)). Our board of directors is charged with encouraging student and junior faculty involvement by minimizing costs as we encourage women and minorities to participate in all stages of program presentation and development. Everyone involved in programming is a volunteer. Our attendance is limited by the venue to a maximum of 110 individuals. The growth of the meeting to capacity illustrates a strong desire on the part of regional scientists to participate. Funds for this proposal are requested to provide minority grants and childcare, reduced registration fees for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and early-stage investigators, and for travel and housing for seven invited speakers. Registration fees, charitable contributions, and sponsorships cover the base costs for the meeting. The RMVA has been a source of communication and collaboration for the Rocky Mountain region, with outreach across the nation, for twenty years. Our efforts and NIAID support have expanded interest in this meeting to national and international levels to the benefit of all.

会议摘要 落基山病毒学协会将于2021年10月举行第21届年度会议。 汇集了三天的静修风格的病毒学和王室生物学领域的区域和国家调查员 会议与广泛的互动和协作。原始会议是由调查人员组织的 科罗拉多州和怀俄明州对科学数据和想法的免费开放交流感兴趣 关于促进学生合作的场地，有关一般病毒学的信息，博士后研究人员 和教师。特别是我们在科罗拉多州立大学山区校园的年度会议 鼓励年轻科学家介绍他们的研究，并从已建立的科学家那里获得反馈。这 目标是促进科学互动和培训。参与的主要好处是小说 不同学科的科学家之间出现的合作。讨论的主题包括病毒学 （疫苗，流行病学，病毒人畜共患病），节肢动物传播疾病（RNA病毒，代谢，病毒载体和 载体生物学），宿主防御（病毒免疫学和发病机理），王室生物学，癌症生物学和系统 生物学。有关HIV发病机理，疫苗发育，大流行性流感，Prions，病毒的特殊会议 在过去的会议上，发现和病毒疾病的全球影响已经出现。 2020会议 特色也许是最不同，但现在紧密扎根的领域，流行病学和表观遗传学。下一个 会议将以关于Covid-19的大流行的回顾性，并讨论成功的方法和 建立用于未来挑战的系统。与会者包括科罗拉多州立大学的科学家， 科罗拉多大学，怀俄明大学，北科罗拉多大学， 疾病控制（柯林斯堡）和农业动物和植物健康检查部门 以及来自地区生物技术公司的科学家以及爱荷华州，爱达荷州，内布拉斯加州，堪萨斯州，蒙大拿州的大学 新墨西哥州和犹他州。落基山病毒学协会于2010年成立了免税 教育慈善机构（第501（c）（3）节）。我们的董事会负责鼓励学生和初中 当我们鼓励妇女和少数民族参与各个阶段时 计划演示和发展。参与编程的每个人都是志愿者。我们的出席是 受场地限制最多110个人。会议能力的增长说明了一个强大的 区域科学家参与的欲望。要求该提案的资金提供少数派 赠款和育儿，研究生减少注册费，博士后研究员和早期阶段 调查人员，以及七名受邀演讲者的旅行和住房。注册费，慈善捐款， 赞助涵盖了会议的基本费用。 RMVA一直是沟通的来源， 落基山地区的合作，全国各地的宣传活动二十年。我们的努力和 NIAID的支持已将对这次会议的兴趣扩大到国家和国际层面，以使所有人受益。
