Description (as provided by the applicant): Worldwide problems due to influenza including the concern of an incipient pandemic, continuous economic loss from avian influenza, and the threat of bioterrorism and dual-use issues make this an important topic for present and future study. The purpose of this proposal is to provide funds to support travel awards for young scientists to present at the 6th Orthomyxoviruses Research Conference (affectionately termed the "Young Flu" meeting), which will be held outside Montreal, Canada September 19th - 22nd, 2012. The meeting provides a platform for young scientists to share their latest discoveries in orthomyxovirus research. The first five conferences were attended by young scientists from around the world and this year we expect around 150 attendees from a similarly diverse geography to join us in Montreal to exchange ideas, initiate collaborations, and foster relationships with senior scientists in the field. Since it is the intention that experimentalists present their own work, we encourage graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty to present. Senior scientists are encouraged to attend the meeting to participate in discussions and interact with other scientists, but not present. Although there are a number of meetings dedicated to influenza virus, this is the only meeting focused on young investigators making it unique. If successful, we will be able to provide financial support to one of our most important resources; our next generation of influenza virologists. Public Health Relevance: The 6th Orthomyxoviruses Research Conference (affectionately termed the "Young Flu" meeting) will be held at the Hotel Chateau Bromont in Bromont, Quebec, Canada (1 hour outside Montreal) September 19th - 22nd, 2012. The meeting is intended to provide a platform for young scientists around the world to share their latest discoveries in orthomyxovirus research. The first five conferences were held in Texel, The Netherlands, in November of 2001; Florham Park, New Jersey in August of 2003; Cambridge, England in July 2005; Woods Hole, Massachusetts in 2007; and Freiberg, Germany in 2009 and were attended by young scientists from Europe, the U.S., Russia, Japan, and many other parts of the world. This year we expect around 150 attendees from a similarly diverse geography to join us in Montreal to exchange ideas, initiate collaborations, and foster relationships with senio scientists in the field. Since it is the intention that experimentalists present their own work, we encourage graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty to present. Senior scientists are encouraged to attend the meeting to participate in discussions and interact with other scientists. We welcome abstracts covering all fields of orthomyxovirus research. Session topics include evolution and epidemiology, ecology and influenza in animals, structure and replication, avian-to-animal transmission, genetic manipulation of influenza including reverse genetics, immunology, and new approaches to vaccination, pathogenesis including virus host interactions and viral bacterial synergism, diagnostic approaches, use of antivirals, pandemic preparedness, and emerging fields of study. The conference will be held at an easily accessible but exclusive site providing an intense weekend of interaction and exchange of ideas. Worldwide problems due to influenza including the certainty of an incipient pandemic, continuous economic loss from avian influenza, and the threat of bioterrorism and dual-use issues make this an important topic for present and future study. The aging of the current leaders in the field of orthomyxoviruses speaks to the urgent need to recruit young scientists to the field of influenza virus research. The purpose of this proposal is to provide funds that will allow promising young investigators to interact with their peers and develop a commitment to this area of research.

描述（申请人提供）：由于流感引起的全球问题，包括关注初期大流行，禽流感持续的经济损失以及生物恐怖主义和双重用途问题的威胁，这是当前和未来研究的重要主题。该提案的目的是提供资金，以支持年轻科学家参加第六型矫正病毒研究会议（亲切地称为“年轻流感”会议）的旅行奖项，该会议将于2012年9月19日至22日在加拿大蒙特利尔以外举行。该会议为年轻科学家提供了在Orthomyxovirus研究中分享其最新发现的平台。来自世界各地的年轻科学家参加了前五次会议，今年我们预计，来自类似地理位置的约150名与会者会加入蒙特利尔的我们，以交流思想，启动合作以及与该领域的高级科学家建立关系。由于实验家展示自己的作品的目的是，我们鼓励研究生，博士后研究员和初级教师出席。鼓励高级科学家参加会议参加讨论并与其他科学家进行互动，但不存在。尽管有许多致力于流感病毒的会议，但这是唯一一场侧重于年轻调查人员使其与众不同的会议。如果成功，我们将能够为我们最重要的资源之一提供财政支持；我们的下一代流感病毒学家。 公共卫生相关性：第六届正菌病毒研究会议（亲切地称为“年轻流感”会议）将在加拿大魁北克的布罗蒙特酒店举行（蒙特利尔郊外1小时），2012年9月19日至22日。该会议打算为世界各地的年轻科学家提供最新的发现，以分享他们在Orthomysomysomshomysrone Inservies中的年轻科学家的平台。前五届会议于2001年11月在荷兰Texel举行。 2003年8月，新泽西州弗洛勒姆公园； 2005年7月，英格兰剑桥； 2007年，马萨诸塞州伍兹·霍尔（Woods Hole）；以及2009年德国弗里贝格（Freiberg），来自欧洲，美国，俄罗斯，日本和世界许多其他地区的年轻科学家参加了会议。今年，我们预计来自类似地理位置的大约150名与会者将与我们一起进入蒙特利尔，以交流想法，启动合作并与该领域的Senio科学家建立关系。由于实验者展示自己的作品的意图，我们 鼓励研究生，博士后研究员和初级教师出席。鼓励高级科学家参加会议参加讨论并与其他科学家进行互动。我们欢迎涉及原菌病毒研究所有领域的摘要。 Session topics include evolution and epidemiology, ecology and influenza in animals, structure and replication, avian-to-animal transmission, genetic manipulation of influenza including reverse genetics, immunology, and new approaches to vaccination, pathogenesis including virus host interactions and viral bacterial synergism, diagnostic approaches, use of antivirals, pandemic preparedness, and emerging fields of study.该会议将在一个易于访问但独家的网站上举行，提供一个周末的互动和思想交流。由于流感引起的全球问题，包括初期大流行的确定性，禽流感持续的经济损失以及生物恐怖主义和双重用途问题的威胁，这是当前和未来研究的重要主题。正骨毒病毒领域当前领导人的老龄化表明，迫切需要将年轻科学家招募到流感病毒研究领域。该提案的目的是提供资金，以使有前途的年轻调查员与同龄人互动并对这一研究领域提出承诺。
