DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for the yearly La Jolla Immunology Conference over the next five years. The 2008 meeting will represent the 34th annual conference that brings together fundamental Immunologists from the San Diego and has included members of the Los Angeles region (over the past 5 years). This superb small meeting is set for October 21-23, 2008 and will be held at the Salk Institute in La Jolla. This is a long-standing meeting that provides a high-level training ground for Immunology students, post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty. The meeting emphasizes local groups and draws 200-300 attendees each year. Participants and speakers are drawn primarily from the San Diego area with recent inclusion of groups from the greater Los Angeles area. There are two keynote speakers who are invited each year to open the meeting and set the tone for discussion and then close the meeting to help to provide perspective on the proceedings. The meeting content focuses on the most exciting Immunology research that is being pursued in the area and the yearly program is constructed to showcase current emerging trends and highlight future directions. The meeting runs for 2.5 days with 16 speakers invited from the rank of faculty (at least 6 new investigators) and 16 speakers selected from abstracts submitted in the summer prior to the meeting. A further 60-80 abstracts are presented as posters. The purpose of this meeting is to 1) maximize the training experience for younger scientists in the area of Immunology 2) foster a strong community spirit in the San Diego and greater Los Angeles area that contains so many outstanding laboratories focused on Basic Immunology. 3) encourage new collaborations across individuals within groups at separate academic institutions. 4) elaborate the potential for larger multi-focal (and perhaps multi-disciplinary) scientific initiatives that utilize the substantial breadth and depth of scientific research in the local environment. The La Jolla Immunology Conference is a long-running dynamic small Immunology meeting that provides high-level training for young and experienced Immunologists to integrate the cellular and molecular underpinnings of basic immunology. This meeting provides a critical local forum for the exchange current research with substantial emphasis on understanding the regulation of adaptive immunity. This highly attended forum promotes a strong sense of local community and very effectively nucleates productive collaborative efforts in Immunology. The content and focus of this meeting drive efforts to improve vaccine design, treatments of autoimmunity, tumor therapies and the management of transplant rejection and hence can be considered highly relevant to the public health initiatives of the NIAID.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该提案要求在未来五年内为年度La Jolla免疫学会议提供部分支持。 2008年的会议将代表第34届年度会议，该会议将圣地亚哥的基本免疫学家汇集在一起​​，并包括洛杉矶地区的成员（在过去的5年中）。这次精湛的小型会议定于2008年10月21日至23日，将在拉霍亚的萨尔克学院举行。这是一场长期的会议，为免疫学学生，博士后研究员和初级教师提供了高级培训场。会议强调当地团体，并每年吸引200-300名与会者。参与者和演讲者主要来自圣地亚哥地区，最近包括大洛杉矶地区的团体。每年有两名主题演讲者被邀请参加会议，并为讨论定下基调，然后结束会议，以帮助提供有关诉讼的观点。会议内容的重点是该地区正在进行的最激动人心的免疫学研究，并构建了年度计划以展示当前的新兴趋势并突出未来的方向。这次会议与16天的演讲者（至少有6名新调查人员）和16位发言人和16位发言人一起从会议前夏季提交的摘要中选出。另外60-80个摘要作为海报。这次会议的目的是至1）最大化免疫学领域年轻科学家的培训经验2）在圣地亚哥和大洛杉矶地区培养强大的社区精神，其中包含许多专注于基本免疫学的杰出实验室。 3）鼓励在各个学术机构的小组中跨个人进行新的合作。 4）详细说明了更大的多核（也许是多学科）科学计划的潜力，这些计划利用了当地环境中科学研究的大量广度和深度。 La Jolla免疫学会议是一次长期运行的动态小型免疫学会议，为年轻和经验丰富的免疫学家提供高级培训，以整合基本免疫学的细胞和分子基础。这次会议为交换当前研究提供了关键的本地论坛，重点是理解适应性免疫的调节。这个高度参加的论坛促进了对当地社区的强烈感，并非常有效地为免疫学方面的生产性协作构成了成核。这次会议的内容和重点推动了改善疫苗设计，自身免疫治疗，肿瘤疗法的治疗以及移植拒绝的管理，因此可以被认为是与NIAID的公共卫生计划高度相关的。
