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）：本提案请求部分支持将于 2014 年 1 月 19 日至 24 日在加利福尼亚州文图拉举行的螺旋体生物学戈登研究会议 (BoS GRC) 和之前的戈登研究研讨会 (GRS)，作为一部分GRC系列的一部分。这些会议有三个具体目标：(1) 召开一次由研究螺旋体生物学、流行病学和疾病发病机制各个方面的老研究者和新研究者组成的会议； （2）讨论密螺旋体、疏螺旋体和钩端螺旋体的分子生物学和遗传系统的最新进展，有助于更好地了解其毒力决定因素、感染策略和基础生物学； (3) 为学生和年轻研究者提供一个具有挑战性、支持性的论坛，让他们与知名研究者互动、展示他们的研究并讨论想法，从而促进他们的科学发展。 GRC 的主要目标是将具有所有致病性螺旋体属专业知识的科学家和临床医生聚集在一起，在非正式的互动环境中举行为期两天的 GRS 和为期五天的 GRC。将新研究人员引入这一充满挑战的领域一直是 BoS GRC 的长期目标。为了进一步实现这一目标，在 2014 年 GRC 之前，将首次为研究生和年轻研究人员举办 GRS。会议议程涵盖广泛的基础和临床相关主题，包括免疫机制；流行病学和发病机制；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。每场会议的已确认发言者包括顶尖科学家和有前途的新研究人员，他们研究与不同螺旋体物种生物学相关的一系列问题。此外，每场会议的大约四分之一的演讲者将从提交的摘要中选出，以确保纳入初级科学家的相关、前沿研究。一个有意识的 我们已经并将继续努力鼓励学生和博士后研究员的参与，确保性别平衡，并吸纳少数群体的参与。因此，BoS 会议为国际研究界成员提供了一个独特的机会，让他们能够研究这些困扰全球数百万人的多样化且与医学相关的细菌。
