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

该奖项将为2012年在加利福尼亚州伯克利举行的NSF-NIH-USDA传染病生态学和进化PI会议提供支持。这次会议将通过连接由NSF的EEID计划支持的调查人员来促进科学交流。每个研究人员都将展示新的发现，并从同行那里收到反馈。这次会议将为科学交流和讨论与EEID赠款计划相关的研究问题和挑战提供一个场所。会议将通过促进资助研究人员之间的联网和同行审查来提高由NSF的EEID计划支持的研究的质量。它将促进科学家在相关研究领域进行富有成效的新研究合作，将年轻研究人员纳入研究社区并丰富他们的培训，通过让研究人员接触其他人的工作来加快学习步伐。

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.
