DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this proposal is to request funding for travel expenses, registration, and housing for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows who will be attending the "FASEB Summer Research Conferences on Microbial Polysaccharides of Medical, Agricultural, and Industrial Importance" June 5-9, 2004 in Tuscon, Arizona. This meeting is designed to bring together established and new investigators in the field of microbial polysaccharides to facilitate the exchange of new concepts in microbial pathogenesis and immunity, cell biology, plant pathology, environmental microbiology, metabolism, and gene regulation. Presently, few venues are available to promote the interactions of scientists from academia, industry, and government agencies in these diverse areas and this meeting provided this unique setting when last held in August 2000. Four years will have passed since the last meeting and many new advances, concepts, and techniques have been developed since that time in these areas of research. We have proposed eight scientific sessions that will cover in detail new topics and ideas that have emerged during this time. As at the last Microbial Polysaccharide meeting, the session topics and poster presentations will be organized to integrate these various topics, rather than to separate them. In addition, free time will be available before the afternoon poster session for informal social interactions in order to promote potential future collaborations between young investigators and those individuals more established in the field. We will also continue the tradition of selecting the best Abstracts from graduate students and post-doctoral fellows for oral presentations at the meeting. This will further encourage these important interactions. We have included women and minorities as speakers and session's chairs in the program and based on past meetings, a broad international contingent should be in attendance. This meeting will provide a unique environment for scientific exchange between a diverse group of investigators in the area of microbial polysaccharides.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是为参加“FASEB 医学、农业、农业微生物多糖夏季研究会议”的研究生和博士后研究员申请差旅费、注册费和住宿费。和工业重要性”，2004 年 6 月 5 日至 9 日在亚利桑那州图森举行。本次会议旨在汇集微生物多糖领域的老牌和新研究者，以促进微生物发病机制和免疫、细胞生物学、植物病理学、环境微生物学、代谢和基因调控等方面的新概念的交流。目前，很少有场所可以促进来自学术界、工业界和政府机构的科学家在这些不同领域的互动，而上次会议于 2000 年 8 月举行，这次会议提供了这种独特的环境。距离上次会议已经过去四年了，许多新的会议自那时以来，这些研究领域取得了进展、概念和技术。我们提出了八场科学会议，将详细涵盖这一时期出现的新主题和想法。正如上次微生物 多糖会议、会议主题和海报展示将被组织以整合这些不同的主题，而不是将它们分开。此外，在下午的海报会议之前，还将有空闲时间进行非正式的社交互动，以促进年轻研究人员与该领域更成熟的个人之间未来潜在的合作。我们还将延续从研究生和博士后中挑选最佳摘要在会议上进行口头报告的传统。这将进一步鼓励这些重要的互动。我们已将妇女和少数族裔作为发言人和会议主席纳入该计划，并且根据以往的会议，应该有广泛的国际代表团参加。这次会议将为微生物多糖领域不同研究人员之间的科学交流提供独特的环境。
