This award supports the attendance of students and postdoctoral fellows at the 14th Congress of the International Society for Developmental and Comparative Immunology in Santa Fe, NM on June 17 - 21, 2018. The Congress enhances research in immunology through presentations of current research and discussions of immune function in a wide variety of organisms. Comparative and evolutionary studies of the immune responses in non-mammalian species have led to groundbreaking work, such as the identification of the function of receptors in pathogen recognition and host defense. These immune strategies have been major discoveries that have advanced the wider field of immunology. The Congress will promote discussion between early career scientists and students with leaders in the field of comparative immunology, providing valuable opportunities for young scientists to interact with them and establish professional networks essential to their careers. Understanding how different animals respond to infections can enhance knowledge of human responses to infections and potentially lead to new therapies.The 14th Congress of the International Society for Developmental and Comparative Immunology brings together scientists who study the immune systems of different species. Studies of comparative immunology have led to groundbreaking discoveries such as Toll-like receptors and RNAi as a host defense mechanism. The conference is designed to maximize formal and informal interaction between scientists at all levels. Supported participants will submit a summary of a session of their choosing. These reports will be compiled into a meeting report that will be published and disseminated through publication in the ISDCI journal, Developmental and Comparative Immunology. Organizers have a commitment to gender balance and encourage attendance by underrepresented groups.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持学生和博士后研究员参加2018年6月17日至21日在新墨西哥州圣达菲举行的第14届国际发育和比较免疫学学会大会。大会通过介绍当前的研究和讨论各种生物体的免疫功能来加强免疫学的研究。对非哺乳动物物种免疫反应的比较和进化研究已经导致了开创性的工作，如识别受体在病原体识别和宿主防御中的功能。这些免疫策略是推动免疫学更广泛领域的重大发现。大会将促进早期职业科学家和学生与比较免疫学领域的领导者之间的讨论，为年轻科学家提供宝贵的机会与他们互动，并建立对他们的职业生涯至关重要的专业网络。了解不同动物对感染的反应可以加强对人类对感染反应的了解，并有可能导致新的治疗方法。第14届国际发展和比较免疫学学会大会将研究不同物种免疫系统的科学家聚集在一起。比较免疫学的研究导致了突破性的发现，如Toll样受体和RNAi作为宿主防御机制。这次会议旨在最大限度地促进各级科学家之间的正式和非正式互动。受支持的参与者将提交他们选择的课程摘要。这些报告将汇编成一份会议报告，并通过在ISDCI期刊《发育和比较免疫学》上发表和传播。组织者承诺实现性别平衡，并鼓励代表不足的群体参加。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
