DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for support for 25 trainees and 5 investigators from underrepresented minorities to attend a four-day international scientific meeting devoted to the study of natural killer Cells (NK cells). NK cells are a relatively small subset of immune cells, but they are important in many clinical areas, including (i) protection against viruses and other pathogens, (ii protection against cancer, (iii) regulation of other forms of immunity, including autoimmunity and immune deficiency, and (iv) successful pregnancy. They are also important in determining the success of transplantation, particularly hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Since 1982, most researchers interested in NK cells have met approximately every 18 months to share their findings, to facilitate collaborations, and to help advance the careers of young investigators in the field. Since its inception, the meeting has been a favored venue for the presentation of new, important findings. All presentations at the meeting are in a single session, to encourage cross-fertilization, particularly between bench scientists and clinical investigators. The last meeting was September 2010, in Cavtat, Yugoslavia. The next meeting will be April 20-24, 2012, at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California, about 100 miles south of San Francisco. Expected participation is 400-500 researchers, with about 40 oral presentations and 200 poster presentations. All participants will be fed and housed together to encourage personal interactions. To help with attendance by trainees, support is requested for 25 scholarships of $800 each, to be chosen by our distinguished Scientific Advisory Committee based on merit from abstracts that are submitted to the meeting. To facilitate attendance by investigators from underrepresented minorities, based again on merit, support is requested for 5 travel awards of $800 each. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This application is to support attendance, particularly by scientific trainees, at an international conference on natural killer (NK) cells. NK cells are a relatively small subset of immune cells, but they are important in many clinical areas, including (i) protection against viruses and other pathogens, (ii) protection against cancer, (iii) regulation of other forms of immunity, including autoimmunity and immune deficiency, and (iv) successful pregnancy. They are also important in determining the success of transplantation, particularly hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

描述（由申请人提供）： 此申请旨在支持来自代表性不足的少数族裔的 25 名学员和 5 名研究人员参加为期四天的国际科学会议，专门研究自然杀伤细胞（NK 细胞）。 NK 细胞是免疫细胞中相对较小的一个子集，但它们在许多临床领域都很重要，包括 (i) 预防病毒和其他病原体，(ii 预防癌症，(iii) 调节其他形式的免疫，包括自身免疫和(iv) 成功怀孕。自 1982 年以来，大多数对 NK 细胞感兴趣的研究人员大约每 18 个月会面一次，分享他们的发现，以促进移植的成功。自成立以来，该会议一直是展示新的重要发现的首选场所，以鼓励跨界交流。上一次会议是 2010 年 9 月在南斯拉夫察夫塔特举行，下一次会议将于 2012 年 4 月 20 日至 24 日在阿西洛玛会议中心举行。位于加利福尼亚州太平洋丛林，距离旧金山以南约 100 英里。预计参与人数为 400-500 名研究人员，其中包括约 40 场口头报告和 200 场海报报告。所有参与者将一起吃饭和住宿，以鼓励个人互动。为了帮助学员出席，请求提供 25 项奖学金，每项 800 美元，由我们杰出的科学咨询委员会根据提交给会议的摘要的优点进行选择。为了方便代表性不足的少数群体的调查人员参加，再次根据优点，请求提供 5 份旅行奖励，每份 800 美元。 公共卫生相关性： 该应用程序旨在支持参加国际会议，特别是科学受训人员 自然杀伤（NK）细胞会议。 NK 细胞是免疫细胞中相对较小的一个子集，但它们在许多临床领域都很重要，包括 (i) 预防病毒和其他病原体，(ii) 预防癌症，(iii) 调节其他形式的免疫，包括自身免疫和免疫缺陷，以及 (iv) 成功怀孕。它们对于决定移植的成功也很重要，特别是造血干细胞移植。
