DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 meetings grant application seeks partial support the 2006 Alcohol and Immunology Research Interest Group (AIRIG) meetings, which will be held in conjunction will the Midwest Autumn Immunology Conference in Chicago, IL. Funding is requested for travel costs and housing for students, postdoctoral fellows, and minority scientists, as well as some of the cost of invited speakers, for a one day meeting will focus on the "Alcohol and Innate & Adaptive Immunity." The meeting will be held on the Friday November 17th, 2006 in the Department of Surgery at Loyola University in Maywood IL, the day before the start of the three day Chicago-based Midwest Autumn Immunology Conference. In addition to having a strong scientific program, with impressive lists of invited plenary speakers from around the United States, the Autumn Immunology Conference is relatively small (approximately 450 registrants), which will allow greater visibility of AIRIG than would be possible at larger meetings. Additionally, the Conference has multiple opportunities for young developing scientist at the student and postdoctoral fellows to participate on many levels. Every poster presenter has the opportunity to give a short oral presentation through poster workshops. Moreover, the Conference has Careers in Immunology Workshops, further indicating devotion to the involvement of trainees at all levels. These sessions allow time for career building and collaborative opportunities, which may not be feasible or readily available at larger meetings. Thus, in addition to providing a forum for the discussion of current research in the field, overall goals of the coorganizers are to expand the participation of students, postdoctoral trainees and minority scientists and increase the critical mass of scientists working on alcohol and immunology issues. We believe that these goals will be best achieved in 2006 by hosting AIRIG in conjunction with the Autumn Immunology Conference in the Chicago-land area.

描述（由申请人提供）：这次R13会议赠款申请寻求部分支持2006年的酒精和免疫学研究兴趣小组（AIRIG）会议，该会议将在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的中西部秋季免疫学会议上举行。要求资金用于学生，博士后研究员和少数族裔科学家的旅行费用和住房，以及受邀演讲者的一些成本，以进行一日会议，将重点放在“酒精，先天和适应性的免疫力”上。会议将于2006年11月17日（星期五）在总部位于芝加哥的中西部秋季免疫学会议开始的前一天在梅伍德伊利诺伊州洛约拉大学的外科手术系举行。除了拥有强大的科学计划外，来自美国各地的受邀全体会议者的令人印象深刻的清单还相对较小（大约450名注册人），这将使Airig的可见性比在更大会议上的可能性更大。此外，该会议为学生和博士后研究员的年轻发展科学家提供了许多机会，可以在许多层面上参加。每个海报主持人都有机会通过海报讲习班进行简短的口头演讲。此外，该会议在免疫学研讨会上有职业，进一步表明了对各级学员的参与的热爱。这些会议使时间建立职业和协作机会，这在较大的会议上可能不可行或不易获得。因此，除了提供有关该领域当前研究的论坛外，辅导员的总体目标还包括扩大学生，博士后学员和少数民族科学家的参与，并增加从事酒精和免疫学问题的科学家的关键群众。我们认为，这些目标将在2006年最好地实现，并通过在芝加哥 - 土地地区举行的秋季免疫学会议上举办Airig。
