项目摘要

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（由申请人提供）：流感引起的全球性问题，包括对初期大流行的担忧、禽流感造成的持续经济损失、生物恐怖主义的威胁和双重用途问题，使之成为当前和未来研究的重要课题。该提案的目的是为年轻科学家提供旅行奖励，以资助他们出席第六届正粘病毒研究会议（亲切地称为“年轻流感”会议），该会议将于 2012 年 9 月 19 日至 22 日在加拿大蒙特利尔郊外举行。此次会议为年轻科学家提供了一个分享正粘病毒研究最新发现的平台。前五次会议有来自世界各地的年轻科学家参加，今年我们预计来自不同地区的约 150 名与会者将来到蒙特利尔与我们交流想法、发起合作并与该领域的资深科学家建立关系。由于实验者展示自己的工作的目的是，我们鼓励研究生、博士后和初级教师来展示。鼓励资深科学家参加会议，参与讨论并与其他科学家互动，但不要出席。尽管有许多专门针对流感病毒的会议，但这是唯一一次针对年轻研究人员的会议，使其独一无二。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：第六届正粘病毒研究会议（被亲切地称为“年轻流感”会议）将于 2012 年 9 月 19 日至 22 日在加拿大魁北克省布罗蒙的布罗蒙城堡酒店（距离蒙特利尔 1 小时车程）举行。为世界各地的年轻科学家提供一个平台，分享他们在正粘病毒研究方面的最新发现。前五次会议于 2001 年 11 月在荷兰特塞尔举行； 2003 年 8 月，新泽西州弗洛勒姆公园； 2005年7月，英国剑桥； 2007 年，马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔； 2009 年在德国弗莱贝格举行，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，我们预计将有约 150 名来自同样多元化地区的与会者来到蒙特利尔与我们交流想法、开展合作并与该领域的资深科学家建立关系。由于这是实验者展示自己作品的目的，我们鼓励研究生、博士后和初级教师发表演讲。鼓励资深科学家参加会议，参与讨论并与其他科学家互动。我们欢迎涵盖正粘病毒研究所有领域的摘要。会议主题包括进化和流行病学、动物生态学和流感、结构和复制、禽类到动物的传播、流感的基因操作（包括反向遗传学）、免疫学和疫苗接种新方法、发病机制（包括病毒宿主相互作用和病毒细菌协同作用）、诊断方法、抗病毒药物的使用、大流行防范和新兴研究领域。会议将在一个交通便利但独特的地点举行，提供一个激烈的周末互动和思想交流。流感引起的全球性问题，包括大流行初期的确定性、禽流感造成的持续经济损失、生物恐怖主义的威胁和双重用途问题，使之成为当前和未来研究的重要课题。正粘病毒领域现任领导者的老龄化表明，流感病毒研究领域迫切需要招募年轻科学家。该提案的目的是提供资金，使有前途的年轻研究人员能够与同行互动，并致力于这一研究领域。
