Project description Microbial biofilms are among the most common forms in which microorganisms exist, and as such the topic of biofilms is relevant to virtually all of the microbial sciences. Biofilms create enormous challenges in the medical, agricultural and industrial sectors of society, but also can be harnessed for important beneficial applications. A tremendous number of research programs worldwide study biofilms spanning fundamental to applied science. In order to connect this large, active and diverse community the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) has convened the Conference on Biofilms, which has repeatedly catalyzed the development of new ideas and approaches in the field. The conference gathers the top researchers studying biofilms from both inside and outside of the United States, and from academia, government, and the private sector. The ASM has discontinued most of its small conferences, but given the vitality and community support for the Biofilm Conference, has retained this meeting. The 9th ASM Biofilm conference is scheduled for November 14-18, 2021 in Charlotte, North Carolina, an accessible yet affordable venue, chosen partly in response to participant concerns over high conference costs. The ASM provides all administrative support for this conference, but cannot cover all of the meeting expenditures and keep the conference fees manageable. Funds are requested in this proposal to defray the costs of participation by invited speakers, students and early career scientists. The conference format has been developed by the conference co-chairs, Karen Visick (Loyola University Chicago, USA) and Clay Fuqua (Indiana University Bloomington USA), along with the nine member Organizing Committee, representing a diversity of biofilm sub-specialties. The conference will be comprised of 11 topical sessions and 2 keynote presentations. Oral presentations will include 22 invited speakers, 33 selected abstract talks, and 12 short poster talks, and there will be four two-hour poster sessions. The afternoon of conference day two will have optional activities including a hands-on biofilm image analysis workshop, tours of local attractions, or networking time. Prior to the start of the full conference, there will be a single-day Early Career conference, that is being organized by a junior scientist committee in consultation with the co-chairs. The conference is specifically designed to convey the breadth and depth of biofilm research, and to actively engage the participation of scientists at all career stages. Special attention is focused to ensure diverse participation among conferees, including from inside the U.S. and internationally. Organizing committee membership also represents this diversity, helping to achieve this important goal. The conference proceedings will be published in a meeting review within a special biofilm-focused issue of the Journal of Bacteriology. Although the 9th ASM Biofilms Conference is intended to be in-person, contingency plans are in place with the ASM should public health concerns require an on-line only conference.

项目描述 微生物生物膜是微生物存在的最常见形式之一，因此是主题 生物膜的几乎与所有微生物科学有关。生物膜在 社会的医疗，农业和工业部门，但也可以利用重要的有益 申请。全球研究生物膜的大量研究计划跨越基本 应用科学。为了将这个大型，活跃和多样化的社区联系起来 微生物学（ASM）召集了关于生物膜的会议，该会议反复催化了 在该领域的新思想和方法的发展。会议聚集了顶级研究人员 从美国内外研究生物膜，以及学术界，政府和 私营部门。 ASM停止了大多数小型会议，但鉴于活力和 社区对生物膜会议的支持保留了这次会议。第9届ASM生物膜会议 定于2021年11月14日至18日在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特举行，一个可访问但负担得起的场地， 部分选择参与者对高会议费用的担忧。 ASM提供全部 对本次会议的行政支持，但不能涵盖所有会议支出，并保留 会议费用可管理。在此提案中要求资金支付参与费用 邀请演讲者，学生和早期职业科学家。会议格式是由 会议联合主席，凯伦·维斯克（Karen Visick）（美国芝加哥洛约拉大学）和克莱·富夸（Indiana University） 美国布卢明顿（Bloomington）），以及九个成员组织委员会，代表生物膜的多样性 子特性。会议将由11个主题会议和2个主题演讲组成。口服 演示文稿将包括22位受邀演讲者，33个选定的抽象会谈和12个近海报会谈，以及 将有四个两个小时的海报会议。会议第二天的下午将进行可选活动 包括动手生物膜图像分析研讨会，当地景点之旅或网络时间。事先的 到完整会议开始时，将举行一个单日的早期职业会议，正在组织 由初级科学委员会与联合主席协商。会议是专门设计的 传达生物膜研究的广度和深度，并积极参与科学家的参与 在所有职业阶段。特别关注 从美国和国际内部。组织委员会成员也代表了这种多样性， 帮助实现这一重要目标。会议记录将在会议评论中发布 在特殊的以生物膜为中心的细菌学杂志中。虽然第9 ASM生物膜 会议旨在面对面，应与ASM制定应急计划。 担忧需要在线会议。
