项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested to support attendance of five junior investigators to attend a workshop on "Aging and Immunity" to be held at the Trudeau Institute on October 3-5, 2004. The goal of this workshop is to bring together prominent immunologists who study the effect of age on immune responses and vaccine efficacy to discuss key issues. An important goal is defining a rational basis for immune intervention, both in terms of therapy and vaccine design. The workshop will concentrate on discussion of selected key topics in the field and will be asked to help shape the scientific content of the workshop, based on responses to a questionnaire. The program will consist of a series of short (about 5 minute), informal presentations in eight 1.5 hour sessions. This unique format promotes dissemination of ideas and enhances discussion. Participants will be asked to stay for the entire meeting, and there will be ample opportunity for informal interactions. There will be no speaker honoraria, but we hope to provide food and accommodation and to significantly defray travel costs. We anticipate that the total budget for the meeting will be approximately $40,000. Participation is by invitation only in order to keep the group small enough to facilitate discussions. Although direct participation will be selective, the insights that emerge from the workshop will be disseminated to the entire scientific community by publication in a widely accessible journal, such as Trends in Immunology or Nature Immunology. A strength of the meeting is the bringing together of senior investigators in the fields of aging and immunology. However, it is critical for the vitality of the field to include emerging investigators. In this proposal, we are specifically requesting funds to cover the basic costs to allow five junior investigators to attend the workshop, with the goal of fostering the next generation of immunologists in this field.

描述（由申请人提供）：要求资金支持五名初级调查人员的出席，以参加2004年10月3日至5日在Trudeau Institute举行的有关“衰老和免疫力”的研讨会。该研讨会的目的是将研究对免疫反应和疫苗效率的效果讨论以讨论关键问题的著名免疫学家。一个重要的目标是在治疗和疫苗设计方面定义免疫干预的合理基础。研讨会将集中于该领域选定的主要主题的讨论，并将根据对问卷的回答来帮助塑造研讨会的科学内容。该计划将包括一系列短暂的（约5分钟），非正式演示文稿，包括八个1.5小时的课程。这种独特的格式促进了思想的传播并增强了讨论。将要求参与者留在整个会议上，并有足够的机会进行非正式互动。不会有发言人的酬金，但我们希望提供食物和住宿，并大大支付旅行费用。我们预计会议的总预算大约为40,000美元。参与仅是为了使小组足够小以促进讨论。尽管直接参与将是有选择性的，但是从研讨会中出现的见解将通过广泛获取的期刊（例如免疫学或自然免疫学趋势）中的出版物传播到整个科学界。会议的优势是将衰老和免疫学领域的高级调查员聚集在一起。但是，对于该领域的活力而言，包括新兴研究者至关重要。在此提案中，我们特别要求资金支付基本费用，以允许五名初级调查人员参加研讨会，以促进该领域的下一代免疫学家。
