ABSTRACT This proposal is to request support for the 56th Annual Meeting of the Society for Leukocyte Biology entitled: “The Future of Immunology: New Solutions to Old Problems”. The meeting will be held September 27 – 30, 2023, at the University of Georgia Conference Center in Athens, GA. Funds derived from this proposal will be distributed in the form of travel awards that will provide much needed assistance to young investigators and trainees. The Organizers of the 56th annual meeting are Peter Keyel, Ph.D. (Texas Tech University) and Balázs Rada, Ph.D. (University of Georgia). SLB is the leading scientific society with a focus on leukocytes and their roles in the pathophysiology of acute and chronic diseases. No other scientific meeting regarding study of the immune system focuses on the leukocyte with the breadth and depth of SLB, so the annual meetings sponsored by SLB fill this void. Therefore, SLB is the premier society in the field of leukocyte biology, and convenes annually to promote scientific exchange among researchers and support the career development of trainees and junior investigators. Funds derived from this proposal will be distributed in the form of travel awards that will provide much needed assistance to facilitate the ability of young investigators and trainees to attend. The essential goals of the annual meeting include: 1) advancing original research and related scientific endeavors in the field of leukocyte biology and host defense, 2) promoting the career development of junior and new investigators interested in leukocyte biology, 3) disseminating information about the field to the wider scientific and lay audience, and 4) encouraging the translation of basic research in leukocyte biology to applications in the clinic. These goals will be achieved through three Aims: Aim 1: To provide an innovative and scientifically progressive program, in a collegial forum, to address the latest developments in leukocyte biology. The agenda will include a total of 4 Plenary Sessions and 8 Concurrent Sessions with a total of 19 invited speakers. Aim 2: To provide an opportunity for new investigators and trainees to interact closely with established scientists. A significant innovation for recent iterations of the annual meeting is the SLB-SCHOOL (Society for Leukocyte Biology-Symposium for Career development and Hands-On Opportunity to Learn) which offers trainees a full day instructional workshop covering topics related to leukocyte biology research. The expectation is that enrollees will gain practical insight into this topic and more actively participate with experts in the field. Aim 3: To promote diversity and inclusion in the field of leukocyte biology by cultivating the participation of women, underrepresented groups and disadvantaged individuals. The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) committee will sponsor workshops and awards to encourage the participation of women and scientists from underrepresented groups. In sum, the 2023 annual meeting of SLB is purposefully designed to enhance awareness of the influence of leukocyte biology in health and disease and inspire young investigators.

抽象的 该建议是要求对白细胞生物学协会第56届年会的支持 题为：“免疫学的未来：旧问题的新解决方案”。会议将于9月27日举行 - 2023年30日，在佐治亚州雅典的佐治亚大学会议中心。该提议得出的资金将 以旅行奖的形式分发，将为年轻的调查人员和 学员。第56届年会的组织者是Peter Keyel博士。 （德克萨斯理工大学）和Balázs Rada，博士（佐治亚大学）。 SLB是领先的科学学会，重点是白细胞及其在病理生理学中的作用 急性和慢性疾病。关于免疫系统研究的其他科学会议都没有关注 白细胞具有SLB的宽度和深度，因此SLB赞助的年度会议填补了这一空白。所以， SLB是白细胞生物学领域的主要社会，每年召集以促进科学交流 在研究人员中，支持受训者和初级研究人员的职业发展。来自 该建议将以旅行奖的形式分发，该奖项将提供急需的帮助以促进 年轻的调查员和学员参加的能力。年会的基本目标包括：1） 推进白细胞生物学和宿主防御领域的原始研究和相关科学努力， 2）促进对白细胞生物学感兴趣的初级和新调查人员的职业发展，3） 向更广泛的科学和外行听众传播有关该领域的信息，以及4）鼓励 将白细胞生物学基础研究翻译成诊所的应用。这些目标将被实现 通过三个目标：目标1：在一个大学论坛上提供创新和科学进步的计划， 解决白细胞生物学的最新发展。议程将包括4个全体会议 和8次并发会议，共有19名受邀演讲者。目标2：为新的机会提供机会 调查人员和学员与知名科学家紧密互动。最近的重大创新 年会的迭代是SLB学校（白细胞生物学学会职业生物学学会 开发和动手学习的机会）为学员提供全天教学研讨会 涵盖与白细胞生物学研究有关的主题。期望注册将获得实用的见解 进入这个主题，并更积极地与该领域的专家一起参与。目标3：促进多样性和包容性 白细胞生物学领域通过培养妇女的参与，代表性不足的群体和 不利的人。多样性，公平与包容（DEI）委员会将赞助讲习班，并 奖励鼓励妇女和科学家的参与，来自代表性不足的群体。总之，2023年 SLB的年度会议旨在提高人们对白细胞生物学影响的认识 健康与疾病，并激发年轻的研究人员。
