项目摘要

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最常见的存在形式之一，因此该主题生物膜的研究几乎与所有微生物科学相关。生物膜带来了巨大的挑战社会的医疗、农业和工业部门，也可以被利用来实现重要的有益应用程序。全球范围内有大量的研究项目研究生物膜，涵盖基础领域到应用科学。为了连接这个庞大、活跃和多元化的社区，美国社会微生物学（ASM）召开了生物膜会议，多次催化了领域内新思想和新方法的发展。会议云集顶尖研究人员研究美国国内外以及学术界、政府和社会的生物膜私营部门。 ASM 已停止了大部分小型会议，但考虑到其活力和活力社会各界对生物膜会议的支持，保留了这次会议。第九届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，这是一个交通便利且价格实惠的场地，选择这一方案的部分原因是为了回应与会者对高会议费用的担忧。 ASM 提供所有为本次会议提供行政支持，但无法支付所有会议开支并保持会议费用可控。本提案要求提供资金以支付参与费用受邀演讲者、学生和早期职业科学家。会议形式由会议联合主席 Karen Visick（美国芝加哥洛约拉大学）和 Clay Fuqua（印第安纳大学）美国布卢明顿）以及组委会的九名成员，代表了生物膜的多样性子专业。会议将包括11个专题会议和2个主题演讲。口服演讲将包括 22 位受邀演讲者、33 个精选摘要演讲和 12 个简短的海报演讲，以及将有四场两小时的海报展示会。会议第二天下午将有可选活动包括生物膜图像分析实践研讨会、当地景点游览或社交时间。事先的在整个会议开始之前，将有一个为期一天的早期职业会议，正在组织中由初级科学家委员会与联合主席协商后制定。此次会议是专门设计的传达生物膜研究的广度和深度，并积极吸引科学家的参与在所有职业阶段。特别关注确保与会者的多样化参与，包括来自美国国内和国际。组委会成员也体现了这种多样性，帮助实现这一重要目标。会议论文集将在会议评论中发布在《细菌学杂志》的一期以生物膜为重点的特刊中。尽管第九届 ASM 生物膜会议旨在面对面举行，如果出现公共卫生问题，ASM 已制定应急计划担忧需要召开仅在线会议。
