EEID Conference; U.C.-Berkeley; March 2012

该奖项将为2012年在加州伯克利举行的NSF-NIH-USDA传染病生态学和进化PI会议提供支持。会议将通过连接NSF EEID项目支持的研究人员来促进科学交流。每位研究者将展示新的发现并接受同行的反馈。会议将提供一个科学交流和讨论与EEID资助计划相关的研究问题和挑战的场所。会议将通过促进受资助研究人员之间的网络和同行评议，提高国家科学基金会EEID项目支持的研究质量。它将促进相关研究领域的科学家之间富有成效的新研究合作，将年轻的研究人员整合到一个研究社区中，丰富他们的培训，并通过让研究人员接触其他人的工作来加快学习的步伐。

This award will provide support for the 2012 NSF-NIH-USDA Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases PI meeting in Berkeley, California. The meeting will facilitate scientific exchange by connecting investigators supported through NSF's EEID program. Each investigator will present new discoveries and receive feedback from peers. The conference will provide a venue for scientific exchange and discussion on research questions and challenges of relevance to the EEID grant program. The meeting will enhance the quality of research supported by NSF's EEID program, by promoting networking and peer review among funded investigators. It will foster productive new research collaborations among scientists in related areas of study, integrate young investigators into a research community and enrich their training, and accelerate the pace of learning, by exposing researchers to others' work.
