DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting funds to support travel and registration expenses for selected individuals to attend the International Lancefield Symposium on Streptococci and Streptococcal Diseases on June 22-26, 2008 in Greece. The International Symposium has been convened every three years since the 1960's and has always served as the premier venue that brings together individuals from multiple disciplines from all over the world that are united by common research interests in streptococcal diseases. In the current era, the burden of streptococcal diseases is disproportionately distributed in low- income and developing countries. Therefore, the International Symposium serves a vital function in uniting scientists, physicians and public health officials from many different countries to present the most current knowledge about streptococci (topics below) and explore innovative approaches to tackle the problems associated with diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these infections. This application addresses the need to support travel expenses for bright, young investigators from developing countries where the disease burden is high but the resources are so limited that they would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend the meeting.

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们正在申请资金，以支持选定个人参加 2008 年 6 月 22 日至 26 日在希腊举行的国际兰斯菲尔德链球菌和链球菌疾病研讨会的旅费和注册费用。国际研讨会自 1960 年代以来每三年召开一次，一直是汇聚来自世界各地、因对链球菌疾病有共同研究兴趣而聚集在一起的多个学科人士的首要场所。在当今时代，链球菌疾病的负担不成比例地分布在低收入国家和发展中国家。因此，国际研讨会发挥着至关重要的作用，它将来自许多不同国家的科学家、医生和公共卫生官员联合起来，介绍有关链球菌的最新知识（以下主题）并探索解决与诊断、治疗和预防相关问题的创新方法。这些感染。该申请解决了为来自发展中国家的聪明、年轻的研究人员提供差旅费的需要，这些国家的疾病负担很高，但资源非常有限，否则他们将没有机会参加会议。在当今时代，链球菌疾病的负担不成比例地分布在低收入和发展中国家。因此，国际研讨会发挥着至关重要的作用，它将来自许多不同国家的科学家、医生和公共卫生官员联合起来，介绍有关链球菌的最新知识（以下主题）并探索解决与诊断、治疗和预防相关问题的创新方法。这些感染。
