This purpose of this proposal is to seek support for the 50th Annual Meeting of the Society for Leukocyte Biology (SLB), to be held at The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from October 5-7, 2017. The central theme of the 2017 meeting is “Leukocyte Memory: Health and Disease”. SLB is the leading scientific society with a focus on facilitating research on leukocytes and their roles in the pathophysiology of acute and chronic diseases. As far as we are aware there are no other meetings or societies that specifically hone in on this important theme of the leukocyte and immunity. The annual meetings sponsored by SLB fill this void. The long term goal of the SLB and its annual meetings is to attract multi-disciplinary attendees from academia, industry, and health care organizations so as to maximize the exchange of ideas and foster research collaborations, with the overarching goal of accelerating progress in multi- and inter-disciplinary basic and translational research. With this long-term goal in mind a special concurrent session with a biomedical engineering focus has been programmed to bring together biologists with engineers and expand our reach to a wider scientific audience. The overall objectives of the 50th Annual SLB meeting are three-fold. Firstly, to provide an outstanding scientific program consisting of notable plenary, keynote and symposium speakers who have prominent national and international recognition. Secondly, to provide opportunities for promising new investigators to present their work during platform and poster sessions. Thirdly, to foster an inclusive environment for support of women, minorities, students, and trainees. The 2017 meeting will continue the Society's tradition of excellence by bringing together scientific researchers of all levels in an environment created to facilitate excellence in science, networking, and career advancement. We will achieve these objectives through the following specific aims. Aim 1: To provide an innovative and scientifically progressive program in a collegial forum to address the latest developments relating to “leukocyte memory in health and disease”. The program will feature 5 plenary and 7 concurrent sessions with 22 invited speakers. The 5 Plenary sessions will include I) Memory of Tissue Location and Micro-environment, II) Epigenetic Mechanisms of Memory in Innate Immune cells, III) Epigenetic Memory in Lymphocytes, IV) Leukocyte Memory in Chronic Disease, and V) Leukocyte Memory in Infection and Injury. With the support of the NIH we hope to support 2 of the 22 invited speakers. Aim 2: To provide an opportunity for new investigators and student trainees to interact closely with established scientists. To facilitate this, 2 poster sessions and numerous networking sessions are scheduled. With the support of the NIH, we hope to be able to fund 18 travel awards to the most meritorious trainee applicants. Aim 3: To foster the participation of women, minority, and disadvantaged scientists. Programming will include a Members in Training & Transition session, a Professional Development workshop on preparation for a job interview, a Women and Diversity Workshop, and other networking sessions.

该提案的这一目的是寻求对白细胞协会第50届年会的支持 生物学（SLB），将于10月5日至7日在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华的威斯汀·贝尔（Westin Bayshore）举行 2017年。2017年会议的中心主题是“白细胞记忆：健康与疾病”。 SLB是领先 科学学会的重点是促进对白细胞的研究及其在病理生理学中的作用 急性和慢性疾病。据我们所知，没有其他会议或社会具体 磨练白细胞和免疫力的重要主题。 SLB赞助的年度会议填补了此 空白。 SLB及其年度会议的长期目标是吸引来自 学术，工业和医疗保健组织，以最大化思想的交流和促进 研究合作，其总体目标是加快多学科基本和跨学科基础的进步 并翻译研究。考虑到这个长期目标，请与生物医学进行特别的并发会议 工程重点已被编程为将生物学家与工程师汇集在一起​​，并将我们的影响力扩展到 广泛的科学观众。第50届年度SLB会议的总体目标是三倍。首先，要 提供一个出色的科学计划，包括著名的全体会议，主题演讲和研讨会演讲者 具有重要的国家和国际认可。其次，为有希望新的机会提供机会 调查人员在平台和海报会议期间介绍他们的作品。第三，促进包容性 支持妇女，少数民族，学生和学员的环境。 2017年会议将继续 社会在环境中将各级的科学研究人员汇集在一起​​的传统 为促进科学，网络和职业发展而创建的。我们将实现这些 目标通过以下特定目标。目标1：提供创新和科学进步的 在一个大学论坛上的计划，旨在解决与“健康中的白细胞记忆和 疾病。 全体会议将包括i）记忆组织位置和微环境，ii）表观遗传机制 先天免疫细胞中的记忆，iii）淋巴细胞中的表观遗传记忆，iv）慢性白细胞记忆 疾病和v）感染和损伤中的白细胞记忆。在NIH的支持下，我们希望支持2 22位邀请演讲者。目标2：为新的调查人员和学生学员提供互动的机会 与知名科学家紧密相关。为了促进这一点，两个海报会议和许多网络会议是 计划。在NIH的支持下，我们希望能够为最有功的18个旅行奖资助 实习生申请人。目标3：促进妇女，少数群体和灾难科学家的参与。 编程将包括培训与过渡会议的成员，专业发展研讨会 准备工作面试，妇女和多样性研讨会以及其他网络会议。
