Climate changes leading to new migrations of hosts that viruses require for transmission is causing serious new outbreaks of viruses that threaten agriculture throughout the world. How viruses naturally cross species barriers and evolve to populate new hosts is a key theme of the Plant Virology Satellite Saturday Symposium. This grant is to help support travel for 10 graduate students/postdoctoral fellows to attend the Plant Virology Satellite Saturday Symposium at the 33rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Virology (ASV), which will take place from June 21-25, 2014 at Colorado State University. Attending top meetings in their fields, such as the annual meeting of ASV, is critical for students as they learn new research, expand their scientific thinking, network with peers and meet top researchers in the field of virology. The Satellite Symposium, entitled: Viruses in a Transitioning World: Species Jumping and Emerging Plant and Animal Viruses is sponsored by the Plant Virology Club, an organization within the American Society of Virology that was initiated to support research and speakers at the annual meeting who focus on plant viruses. Because of the world class reputations of both the animal and plant virologists who will be presenting at the Symposium, a large audience of students and researchers in both animal and plant virology is expected. This should result in a broadening of the appreciation of research fields regardless of the host and hopefully foster new areas of communication within the broad field of virology. This request is for funds to help provide for travel fellowships for graduate students/post-doctoral fellows who are currently conducting research in plant/insect/fungal viruses that will support their attendance at the conference. Attention will be paid to distribution of the travel awards to labs in all regions of the US, and preference will be given to students/postdocs who are underrepresented minorities, women and persons with disabilities. Providing support to allow these young investigators to attend the satellite meeting and the larger ASV meeting should encourage them to have excellent interactions with the larger viral scientific community and make connections that will be useful for their future work.

气候变化导致病毒需要传播的新宿主迁移，这会导致严重的病毒爆发，威胁到世界各地的农业。病毒自然地跨种类障碍和填充新宿主的发展是植物病毒学卫星星期六研讨会的关键主题。这项赠款是为了帮助支持10名研究生/博士后研究员的旅行，以参加美国病毒学学会（ASV）第33届年度会议的植物病毒学卫星研讨会，该会议将于2014年6月21日至25日在科罗拉多州立大学举行。 参加他们的领域的首席会议，例如ASV年度会议，对于学生学习新研究，扩展科学思维，与同龄人建立联系并与病毒学领域的顶级研究人员会面至关重要。卫星专题讨论会，题为：过渡世界中的病毒：种类跳跃和新兴的动植物病毒由植物病毒学俱乐部赞助，植物病毒学俱乐部是美国病毒学学会中的一个组织，该组织旨在支持植物病毒的年度研究和演讲者。由于将在研讨会上介绍的动物和植物病毒学家的世界一流声誉，因此有望在动物和植物病毒学中的大量学生和研究人员。这应该导致对研究领域的欣赏，无论宿主如何，并希望在广泛的病毒学领域促进新的交流领域。该要求是为了帮助为研究生/博士后研究员提供旅行奖学金的资金，这些研究员目前正在进行植物/昆虫/真菌病毒研究，以支持他们参加会议的出席。将注意将旅行奖的分配给美国所有地区的实验室，并将优先考虑代表人数不足的少数民族，妇女和残疾人的学生/博士后。提供支持以允许这些年轻的调查人员参加卫星会议和更大的ASV会议，应该鼓励他们与更大的病毒科学界进行良好的互动，并建立对他们未来工作有用的联系。
