DESCRIPTION: The meeting program is entitled the Rocky Mountain Virology Conference. Overall Impact: This conference has been held for the past 11 years and brings together virologists from institutions in the Rocky Mountain area. The venue is appealing, especially to young people. The organizers have considered many facets of the meeting program and organization to optimize the impact on attendees. They provide concrete evidence of productive collaborations that have resulted from previous meetings. The significance is lessened by the fact that the meeting is extremely regional and almost resembles an expanded lab meeting. There is no real advertisement or recruitment of participants from elsewhere. 1. Significance: Strengths: * The topics and pathogens to be discussed are timely and important. * Progress in the field will be enhanced through the development of additional collaborations within the region. * Cross-fertilization among investigators in the region, especially young investigators and students, should promote more promising approaches to common issues in pathogenesis and treatments. Weaknesses: * This is a very regional meeting, which diminishes the significance. 2. Investigators: Strengths: * The PI is a junior investigator with the scientific background, experience, and vigor needed to lead this conference. * The organizing committee is broadly representative and experienced. Weaknesses: * No weaknesses are noted. 3. Innovation: Strengths: * The venue could be considered innovative. * The conference structure provides ample opportunities for student and postdoc presentations. * Awards for junior investigators add incentive for intra- and inter-institutional competition. Weaknesses: * There are no "outsiders" to stimulate oblique discussion. 4. Approach: Strengths: * The format has been very successful in the past and is modified based on feedback from previous meetings. * One of the major aims of this conference is to foster inter-institutional collaborations. The application provides evidence of previous and current collaborations resulting from the conference, citing published studies and current projects. * Surveys identified a need to provide child care for younger children to increase participation by women. This unmet need is included in the proposed budget. Weaknesses: * The participants are from defined institutions in the Rocky Mountain area. 5. Environment: Strengths: * The meeting site appears to be an excellent venue. Its remoteness is conducive to interpersonal interaction and innovative thinking. Weaknesses: * No weaknesses are noted. Appropriate Representation: Strengths: * The appropriate representation is acceptable. Weaknesses: * No weaknesses are noted.

描述：会议计划的标题为落基山病毒学会议。 总体影响：这次会议在过去的11年中一直举行，并从落基山地区的机构中汇集了病毒学家。该场地很吸引人，特别是对年轻人。组织者考虑了会议计划和组织的许多方面，以优化对与会者的影响。他们提供了由以前的会议产生的富有成效合作的具体证据。这次会议极为区域，几乎类似于扩大的实验室会议，从而降低了意义。没有其他地方的参与者没有真正的广告或招募参与者。 1。意义： 优势： *要讨论的主题和病原体是及时而重要的。 *通过在该地区内开发其他协作来增强该领域的进展。 *该地区研究人员，尤其是年轻的研究人员和学生之间的交叉施肥应促进发病机理和治疗中常见问题的更有希望的方法。 弱点： *这是一次非常区域会议，降低了意义。 2。调查人员： 优势： * PI是一名初级调查员，具有领导这次会议所需的科学背景，经验和活力。 *组织委员会是广泛的代表和经验丰富的。 弱点： *没有发现弱点。 3。创新： 优势： *场地可以被认为是创新的。 *会议结构为学生和博士后演讲提供了足够的机会。 *初级调查人员的奖项增加了对机构内和机构间竞争的动机。 弱点： *没有“局外人”来刺激倾斜的讨论。 4。方法： 优势： *过去格式非常成功，并根据先前会议的反馈进行修改。 *本次会议的主要目的之一是促进机构间合作。该申请提供了会议引起的先前和当前合作的证据，引用了已发表的研究和当前项目。 *调查确定需要为幼儿提供托儿服务以增加妇女的参与。该未满足的需求包括在拟议的预算中。 弱点： *参与者来自落基山地区的定义机构。 5。环境： 优势： *会议网站似乎是一个很棒的场所。它的遥远有利于人际交往和创新思维。 弱点： *没有发现弱点。 适当的表示： 优势： *适当的表示是可以接受的。 弱点： *没有发现弱点。
