US-China Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases Collaborative Workshop; Kunming, China - October, 2012

该奖项支持一个讲习班，该讲习班将探索在生态学和传染病进化领域的潜力。研讨会将于2012年10月在中国昆明举行。中美两国研究人员将讨论研究重点和合作方式，探索中美两国在传染病生态学和进化领域开展联合研究的潜力，并促进对此类努力的交叉效益的认识。跨文化和跨学科的知识和新颖的见解将获得以及持久的合作，以揭示在这个领域的关键问题。目前在传染病的生态学和进化方面的研究往往是针对全国的。重点突出的国际努力将使研究人员能够分享信息、培训和经验，并在反映疾病不受国界限制这一现实的水平上开展工作。通过在国际层面上激发调查兴趣，共享资金和研究工作的成本效益战略将得到发展。

This award supports a workshop that will explore the potential for in the area of ecology and evolution of infectious diseases. The workshop be held in Kunming China in October 2012. Investigators from the United States and China will discuss research priorities and ways to collaborate and explore the potential for joint US and China research in the area of ecology and evolution of infectious disease, and stimulate awareness of the crosscutting benefits of such efforts. Cross-cultural and interdisciplinary knowledge and novel insight will be gained as well as lasting collaborations towards uncovering key questions in this arena. Current research in the ecology and evolution of infectious diseases is often directed nationally. Focused, international efforts will permit investigators to share information, training, and experience as well as work on a level that reflects the reality that diseases are not restricted to national boundaries. By igniting investigative interest on an international level, costs effective strategies from shared funding and research efforts will evolve.
