 DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): This application requests partial support from the NIH for a meeting on "Tropical Infectious Diseases: Challenges, Opportunities and Successes" as part of the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) and Gordon Research Conference (GRC) series to be held in Galveston, Texas, March 7-8 and March 8-13, 2015, respectively. The broad and long-term goal of the conference is to increase our understanding of disease epidemiology and host-pathogen-vector interactions with the aim of developing new insights for controlling Tropical Infectious Diseases (TIDs). The specific aims of this meeting are to convene 38 speakers representing critical areas of tropical disease research with a total of 150 participants for a seven-day conference in a relatively isolated, relaxed setting. The GRS program will target doctoral/postdoctoral trainees and open with a keynote presentation and have two scientific sessions for participant presentations, a manuscript writing skill building session as well as a poster session. The GRC program will follow with two keynote presentations addressing present global needs for infectious disease research. The conference will focus on diseases of high medical importance as well as a group of poverty promoting diseases termed Neglected Tropical Disease (NTDs) with high disease burden. The sessions will discuss the major challenges, new opportunities and the recent successes achieved for control of some of the TIDs. The sessions will cover arboviral, bacterial and parasitic diseases as well as host-vector-pathogen interactions. There will also be thematic sessions on the status of vaccines for TIDs, drug and insecticide resistance management for malaria control and the status of disease elimination campaigns against some of the major NTDs (lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis, trachoma and onchocerciasis). The sessions will consider recent basic discoveries in the areas of pathogen genomics, cell biology and immunology in the context of the most current findings from field based epidemiologic studies and intervention trials. The conference will close with two keynote presentations that provide outstanding examples of continuing burden and challenges for TID control and opportunities for TID research and training. Afternoon poster sessions will permit all participants to contribute to these topics. The significance of this application is thatthe Gordon Research Seminar and Conference on TIDs provides a forum that brings together junior and senior multidisciplinary members of the international research community on tropical diseases. The intent is to promote discussions from basic to applied questions and to generate 'cross-fertilization\rquote among different specialties and fields of knowledge while establishing a growing community of scientists interested in TIDs. The health relatedness of this application is that the discussions will define the important questions in basic science and epidemiology as they relate to the development of new strategies to control the most important tropical diseases affecting over one sixth of the world's population. ing progress toward the control and elimination of TIDs.

 描述（由申请人提供）：本申请请求 NIH 为“热带传染病：挑战、机遇和成功”会议提供部分支持，作为戈登研究研讨会 (GRS) 和戈登研究会议 (GRC) 系列的一部分，以分别于 2015 年 3 月 7 日至 8 日和 3 月 8 日至 13 日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿举行 会议的广泛和长期目标是增加我们对疾病的了解。流行病学和宿主-病原体-媒介相互作用，旨在为控制热带传染病 (TID) 提供新见解 本次会议的具体目标是召集代表热带疾病研究关键领域的 38 名发言人，共有 150 名与会者参加。 GRS 项目将在相对孤立、轻松的环境中举行为期 7 天的会议，以博士/博士后学员为对象，以主题演讲开始，并举行两次科学参与者的演讲会议、一次手稿写作技能培养会议。 GRC 计划随后将进行两场主题演讲，讨论当前全球对传染病研究的需求，会议将重点关注具有高度医学重要性的疾病以及一组被称为被忽视的热带病 (NTD) 的贫困疾病。会议将讨论控制一些 TID 的主要挑战、新机遇和最近取得的成功。会议将涵盖虫媒病毒、细菌和寄生虫疾病以及宿主-媒介-病原体。还将举办关于 TID 疫苗状况、疟疾控制药物和杀虫剂耐药性管理以及针对一些主要 NTD（淋巴丝虫病、血吸虫病、沙眼和盘尾丝虫病）的疾病消除运动状况的专题会议。将在现场流行病学研究和干预试验的最新发现的背景下考虑病原体基因组学、细胞生物学和免疫学领域的最新基本发现。两个主题演讲提供了 TID 控制的持续负担和挑战以及 TID 研究和培训机会的突出例子，该应用程序的意义在于，戈登研究研讨会和会议。 TID 提供了一个论坛，汇集了国际热带病研究界的初级和高级多学科成员，其目的是促进从基础问题到应用问题的讨论，并在建立不同专业和知识领域之间产生“交叉融合”。越来越多的科学家对 TID 感兴趣，这一应用与健康的相关性在于，讨论将定义基础科学和流行病学中的重要问题，因为它们与制定新策略来控制影响六分之一以上的最重要的热带疾病有关。世界人口在控制和消除 TID 方面取得的进展。
