DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for the Biology of Spirochetes Gordon Research Conference (BoS GRC) and preceding Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), to be held in Ventura, CA, January 19-24, 2014, as part of the GRC series. The conferences have three specific aims: (1) To convene a meeting of established and new investigators who study diverse aspects of spirochete biology, epidemiology, and disease pathogenesis; (2) to discuss the latest advances in the molecular biology and genetic systems of Treponema, Borrelia, and Leptospira species, which can be used to gain a better understanding of their virulence determinants, infectious strategies and basic biology; and (3) to foster scientific development of students and younger investigators by providing a challenging, supportive forum for them to interact with established investigators, present their research, and discuss ideas. The principal objective of the GRC is to bring together scientists and clinicians with expertise encompassing all genera of pathogenic spirochetes for a two-day GRS and five-day GRC in an informal and interactive environment. Introduction of new researchers into this challenging field has been a longstanding goal of the BoS GRC. To further this objective, the 2014 GRC will be preceded for the first time by a GRS for graduate students and younger researchers. The conference program spans a broad array of basic and clinically relevant topics, including mechanisms of immunity; epidemiology and pathogenesis; evolution, ecology and transmission of spirochetes; and structure, genetics and molecular biology of these unique bacteria. Afternoon poster sessions ensure the active participation of all attendees. Confirmed speakers in every session include leading scientists and promising new investigators studying a range of problems relating to the biology of diverse spirochete species. In addition, approximately one quarter of the speakers in each session will be selected from submitted abstracts to assure inclusion of pertinent, cutting-edge research by junior scientists. A conscious effort has been made and will be extended to encourage participation by students and post-doctoral fellows, to assure gender balance, and to include participation by minorities. The BoS meetings thus provide a unique opportunity for cross-fertilization of ideas by members of the international research community working on these diverse and medically relevant bacteria that afflict millions of persons globally.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求对Spirochetes Gordon Research Conferition（BOS GRC）的生物学进行部分支持，并在2014年1月19日至24日在加利福尼亚州Ventura举行的Gordon Research研讨会（GRS）作为GRC系列的一部分。会议有三个具体的目的：（1）召开研究既定和新研究者的会议，这些研究人员研究了螺旋体生物学，流行病学和疾病发病机理的各个方面； （2）讨论Treponema，Borrelia和Leptospira物种的分子生物学和遗传系统的最新进展，这些物种可用于更好地了解其毒力决定因素，感染性策略和基本生物学； （3）通过为他们提供一个具有挑战性的支持论坛，以使他们与既定的研究者互动，介绍他们的研究并讨论思想，从而促进学生和年轻的研究人员的科学发展。 GRC的主要目标是将科学家和临床医生汇集到具有专业知识的专业知识，其中包括两天的GRS的所有病原螺旋体属和在非正式和互动环境中的五天GRC。将新研究人员引入这个挑战性领域一直是BOS GRC的长期目标。为了进一步，这一目标将首次为研究生和年轻研究人员提供GRS之前。会议计划涵盖了一系列基本和临床相关的主题，包括免疫机制；流行病学和发病机理；螺旋体的进化，生态和传播；这些独特细菌的结构，遗传学和分子生物学。下午的海报会议确保所有与会者的积极参与。在每节课中，确认的演讲者都包括领先的科学家和有前途的新研究人员，他们研究了一系列与各种螺旋体物种的生物学有关的问题。此外，每个会议中约有四分之一的演讲者将从提交的摘要中选择，以确保纳入初级科学家的相关，尖端的研究。有意识的 已经努力并将扩展以鼓励学生和博士后研究员的参与，以确保性别平衡，并包括少数群体的参与。因此，BOS会议为国际研究界成员的思想提供了一个独特的机会，致力于这些多样化和医学相关的细菌，这些细菌在全球范围内遭受了数百万人的影响。
