 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application for funding is to support expenses for the 2016 20th Annual Woods Hole Immunoparasitology Meeting (WHIP), which brings together principal investigators, students and postdoctoral fellows from around the world who are in the field of immunoparasitology. The 2016 (20th) meeting will be held on April 18 - 21, 2016. The annual gathering of scholars in this field was established in 1997 with the intent to provide a collegial meeting place for scientists to exchange ideas in this important field. The meeting averages 125 to 150 participants every year. While there are other meetings where senior principal investigators in this field present their data, the focus of this meeting is to provide a forum where graduate students and postdoctoral fellows present their work to each other and established investigators. The meeting also aims to provide the opportunity to highlight new junior faculty in the field. The location was chosen because of the strong association of the Marine Biology Laboratory (MBL) and the field of parasitology. This relationship began more than 20 years ago with the establishment of the annual summer course, "Biology of Parasitism," and with the annual Molecular Parasitology meeting held in the fall at the MBL. It is close to laboratories on the east coast, and accessible via direct flights to Boston from around the world. Over 85% of the talks at the WHIP meeting will be given by either graduate students or post-doctoral fellows, making this a unique meeting in the field. In addition to the oral presentations, all of the students and post-doctoral fellows have the opportunity to present their work in poster sessions. Thus, both in oral talks and poster sessions students and post-doctoral fellows in the field of immunoparasitology gain valuable experience in presenting their data, as well as contacts that will be useful for advancing their science and their careers.

 描述（由申请人提供）：本资助申请旨在支持 2016 年第 20 届伍兹霍尔免疫寄生虫学年会 (WHIP) 的费用，该会议汇集了来自世界各地免疫寄生虫学领域的主要研究人员、学生和博士后研究员。 2016年（第20次）会议将于2016年4月18日-21日召开，是该领域学者的年度聚会该会议于 1997 年成立，旨在为科学家们提供一个在这一重要领域交流思想的聚会场所。该会议平均每年有 125 至 150 名与会者参加，而该领域的高级主要研究人员也有其他会议展示他们的数据。这次会议的目的是提供一个 研究生和博士后研究员互相展示他们的工作的论坛，会议还旨在提供机会来突出该领域的新初级教师，因为海洋生物学实验室（MBL）的强大联系。 ）和寄生虫学领域的这种关系始于 20 多年前，每年夏季课程“寄生虫学”的设立，以及每年秋季在 MBL 举行的分子寄生虫学会议。 WHIP 会议上超过 85% 的演讲将由研究生或博士后研究员进行，这使得本次会议成为该领域独一无二的会议。除了口头报告外， 所有学生和博士后研究员都有机会在海报会议中展示他们的工作，因此，在口头演讲和海报会议中，免疫寄生虫学领域的学生和博士后研究员也获得了展示数据的宝贵经验。作为有助于推进他们的科学和职业生涯的联系人。
