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.

会议纪要 落基山病毒学协会将于2021年10月举行第21届年会。 汇集病毒学和朊病毒生物学领域的地区和国家研究人员，进行为期 3 天的静修式活动 会议进行了广泛的互动与合作。最初的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思想的自由和公开交流感兴趣 关于普通病毒学，促进学生、博士后研究人员之间的合作 和教职人员。具体来说，我们在科罗拉多州立大学山校区举行的年会 鼓励年轻科学家展示他们的研究成果并接受知名科学家的反馈。这 目标是促进科学互动和培训。参与的一个主要好处是新颖 不同学科的科学家之间产生的合作。讨论的主题包括医学病毒学 （疫苗、流行病学、病毒性人畜共患病）、节肢动物传播的疾病（RNA 病毒、新陈代谢、病毒载体和 载体生物学）、宿主防御（病毒免疫学和发病机制）、朊病毒生物学、癌症生物学和系统 生物学。关于艾滋病毒发病机制、疫苗开发、大流行性流感、朊病毒、病毒的特别会议 过去的会议重点讨论了病毒性疾病的发现和全球影响。 2020年会议 流行病学和表观遗传学可能是最不同但现在紧密联系的领域。下一个 会议将回顾 COVID-19 大流行，并讨论成功的方法和 建立应对未来挑战的体系。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、研究中心 疾病控制中心（柯林斯堡）和农业部动植物卫生检验局作为 以及来自爱荷华州、爱达荷州、内布拉斯加州、堪萨斯州、蒙大拿州的地区生物技术公司和大学的科学家， 新墨西哥州和犹他州。落基山病毒学协会于 2010 年作为免税协会成立 教育慈善机构（第 501(c)(3) 条）。我们的董事会负责鼓励学生和初级学生 我们鼓励妇女和少数族裔参与教学的各个阶段，从而最大限度地降低成本，从而减少教师的参与 程序演示和开发。每个参与编程的人都是志愿者。我们的出席是 受场地限制，最多 110 人。会议容量的增加说明了强有力的 区域科学家参与的愿望。该提案的资金要求提供少数 助学金和儿童保育，降低研究生、博士后研究员和早期阶段的注册费 调查员的费用，以及七名受邀演讲者的交通和住宿费用。注册费、慈善捐款、 赞助费用涵盖会议的基本费用。 RMVA 一直是沟通和交流的来源 与落基山脉地区的合作，并在全国范围内推广，已有二十年了。我们的努力和 NIAID 的支持将本次会议的兴趣扩大到国家和国际层面，造福于所有人。
