DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project supports the 47th Annual Meeting of the Society for Leukocyte Biology, jointly with the International Endotoxin and Innate Immunity Society (IEIIS), to be held at the Salt Lake City Sheraton, Salt Lake City, Utah during October 23-26, 2014. This joint meeting of SLB and IEIIS will build upon the highly successful joint SLB/IEIIS meeting held in 2010. The central theme of the 2014 joint meeting will be the development of innate immunity. The program has been carefully designed to maximize scientific interactions between the two societies to foster collaborations. We have worked diligently to create a program that balances plenary sessions, mini-symposia and poster sessions with clearly defined networking sessions. To facilitate dialog and interaction, and keep attendees at the meeting venue, food and beverages will be provided at several of the breaks. Specific sessions have been planned to discuss the translational aspects of research projects, including a session "Targeting Immunity to Treat Disease" among others. Professional development workshops are incorporated into the program which include a grant writing workshop, a session on networking skills, and a Women and Diversity workshop. To best facilitate scientific exchange and training of junior scientists in this important area, this propoal requests NIH support for the 2014 SLB annual scientific conference entitled "Development of Innate Immunity" to allow greater access for participants via travel awards and shared costs. Specific Aim 1. To provide a collegial forum exploring new concepts on how innate immunity develops. Specific sessions will address (1) Appropriate use of animal models to understand human disease, (2) Bioengineering and microfluidics, (3) Myeloid cell precursors, (4) immune phylogeny, (5) immune ontogeny and (6) vaccine development. These topics bear critical relevance to our understanding of severe diseases including infectious diseases, cancer, and cardiovascular disease as well as sterile inflammation resulting from autoimmune diseases. The program will feature invited presentations from established leaders and rising stars in the field, as well as oral and/or poster presentations by junior investigators/ trainees selected from among the abstracts submitted by laboratories worldwide. The meeting will target approximately 350-450 participants from academic, governmental, clinical and industrial laboratories. Specific Aim 2. To provide an opportunity for young investigators and student trainees to interact closely with established scientists, through close interaction in both poster and oral sessions. A dedicated career development workshop as well as a training session on grant writing and publication will be held to foster the training and development of aspiring students and junior investigators. Travel awards will be administered to selected participants based on scientific merit. The smaller number of participants and ample time for the poster sessions at this meeting creates a collegial learning environment for junior investigators to engage in rigorous discussion with the leading scientists in the area of innate immunity development. Specific Aim 3. To promote diversity in the field of leukocyte biology and innate immunity by fostering the participation of women, minority, and disabled scientists. A specific forum focusing on obstacles facing women and minority scientists will be held and networking and professional career development workshops will be organized to address obstacles and opportunities for career development.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目支持白细胞生物学学会与国际内毒素和先天免疫学会（IEIIS）联合举办的第 47 届年会，将于 2017 年在犹他州盐湖城喜来登酒店举行。 2014 年 10 月 23 日至 26 日。本次 SLB 和 IEIIS 联席会议将以 2010 年举行的非常成功的 SLB/IEIIS 联席会议为基础。 2014年联席会议的主题将是先天免疫的发展。该计划经过精心设计，旨在最大限度地扩大两个学会之间的科学互动，以促进合作。我们努力创建一个计划，平衡全体会议、小型研讨会和海报会议与明确定义的网络会议。为了促进对话和互动，并让与会者留在会议场地，我们将在几次休息时间提供食物和饮料。已计划召开具体会议来讨论研究项目的转化方面，其中包括“以免疫为目标来治疗疾病”的会议。该计划纳入了专业发展研讨会，其中包括拨款写作研讨会、网络技能会议以及妇女与多样性研讨会。为了最好地促进这一重要领域的科学交流和初级科学家的培训，本提案请求 NIH 支持题为“先天免疫的发展”的 2014 年 SLB 年度科学会议，通过旅行奖励和分摊费用为参与者提供更多机会。 具体目标 1. 提供一个探讨先天免疫如何发展的新概念的学术论坛。具体会议将讨论（1）适当使用动物模型来了解人类疾病，（2）生物工程和微流体，（3）骨髓细胞前体，（4）免疫系统发育，（5）免疫个体发育和（6）疫苗开发。这些主题与我们对传染病、癌症、心血管疾病以及自身免疫性疾病引起的无菌性炎症等严重疾病的理解至关重要。该计划将邀请该领域的知名领导者和后起之秀进行演讲，以及从世界各地实验室提交的摘要中选出的初级研究人员/学员进行口头和/或海报演讲。此次会议将有来自学术、政府、临床和工业实验室的约 350-450 名与会者参加。 具体目标 2. 通过海报和口头会议的密切互动，为年轻研究者和实习生提供与知名科学家密切互动的机会。将举办专门的职业发展研讨会以及拨款写作和出版培训课程，以促进有抱负的学生和初级研究人员的培训和发展。旅行奖励将根据科学价值颁发给选定的参与者。本次会议的与会者人数较少，海报会议时间充足，为初级研究人员创造了一个学院学习环境，可以与先天免疫发展领域的领先科学家进行严格的讨论。具体目标 3. 通过促进女性、少数族裔和残疾科学家的参与，促进白细胞生物学和先天免疫领域的多样性。将举办一个专门论坛，重点关注妇女和少数族裔科学家面临的障碍，并将组织网络和专业职业发展研讨会，以解决职业发展的障碍和机会。
