项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Rocky Mountain Virology Club (RMVC, aka RMVA) was established in 2000 to facilitate free and open exchange of scientific data and ideas concerning general virology in a venue that promotes collaboration among students, post-doctoral researchers and faculty members from universities and federal institutions. Specifically, our annual three-day autumn meeting on the Pingree Park Campus of Colorado State University encourages students, post-doctoral researchers and junior faculty to present their research and to receive feedback from more established scientists. The goals are scientific interactions and the training of young scientists. A major benefit of participation has been novel collaborations between scientists in different disciplines, i.e. RNA stability and Flavivirus biology. The topics discussed include medical virology (vaccines, epidemiology, viral zoonoses), arthropod-borne diseases (RNA viruses and RNA metabolism, viral vectors and vector biology), host defenses (viral immunology and pathogenesis), and prion biology. Special sessions on HIV pathogenesis, vaccine development, pandemic influenza, prions, virus discovery and the global impact of viral diseases have been featured at past meetings. Founders and attendees include scientists from Colorado State University, The University of Colorado, the University of Wyoming, the University of Northern Colorado, the Centers for Disease Control (Fort Collins) and the Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service as well as scientists from industry, other universities in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and visitors from California, Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, Indiana, New York, Mexico and Germany. In 2010 the RVMC was incorporated as the Rocky Mountain Virology Association, Inc. as a tax-exempt educational organization (Section 501(c)(3)). Our board of directors is charged with encouraging student and junior faculty involvement by minimizing costs as we encourage women and minorities to participate in all stages of program development. The board and all involved in program organization are volunteers. Our attendance is limited by venue to a maximum of 110 individuals. This provides active involvement and interaction for all. Comparable general virology meetings such as the annual American Society for Virology meeting have attendance of about 1500, high registration, housing, and travel costs. Collaborative interactions at these meetings tend to be very focused on individual virus families. Our meeting promotes diverse collaboration. Funds are requested to provide minority grants and day care, reduce registration fees for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, and pay travel and housing for invited speakers for the annual meeting during the first week of October. Registration fees, contributions from corporations, and individual charitable contributions, cover additional costs for the meeting. The RMVC has been an outstanding source of communication and collaboration for the Rocky mountain region.

描述（由申请人提供）：在2000年成立了落基山病毒学俱乐部（RMVC，又名RMVA），以促进在一个促进学生，大学后研究人员和大学的教职员工之间的合作的场地中，在一个促进大学合作的场所中免费和开放的科学数据以及有关通用病毒学的想法。具体来说，我们在科罗拉多州立大学Pingree Park校园举行的三天秋季会议鼓励学生，博士后研究人员和初级教师介绍他们的研究，并从更既定的科学家那里获得反馈。目标是科学互动和年轻科学家的培训。参与的主要好处是科学家在不同学科（即RNA稳定性和Flavivirus生物学）之间进行了新的合作。讨论的主题包括病毒学（疫苗，流行病学，病毒性人畜共患病），节肢动物传播疾病（RNA病毒和RNA代谢，病毒载体和载体生物学），宿主防御剂（病毒免疫学和病原体）以及王位生物学。过去的会议上已经介绍了有关HIV发病机理，疫苗发育，大流行性流感，病毒发现以及病毒疾病的全球影响的特殊会议。创始人和与会者包括科罗拉多州立大学，科罗拉多大学，怀俄明大学，北科罗拉多大学，疾病控制中心（柯林斯堡）和农业动物和植物健康卫生保健服务部以及来自新墨西哥州科罗拉多州科罗拉多州的米西尔，米西斯群岛和北访客的其他工业的科学家以及工业，其他大学的其他大学的科学家德国。 2010年，RVMC被合并为落基山病毒协会，作为免税教育组织（第501（c）（3）节）。我们的董事会负责鼓励学生和初级教师参与，以最大程度地减少成本，因为我们鼓励妇女和少数民族参加计划发展的各个阶段。董事会和参与计划组织的所有人都是志愿者。我们的出勤率受到最多110个人的限制。这为所有人提供了积极的参与和互动。可比的一般病毒学会议，例如年度美国病毒学会议，大约有1500次，注册，住房和旅行费用高。在这些会议上的协作互动往往非常专注于单个病毒家庭。我们的会议促进了多样化的合作。要求资金提供少数派赠款和日托，减少研究生和博士后研究员的注册费，并为10月的第一周的年度会议邀请发言人支付旅行和住房。注册费，公司的捐款以及个人慈善捐款涵盖会议的额外费用。 RMVC一直是落基山地区的沟通与合作的杰出来源。
