Conference Summary The Rocky Mountain Virology Association will hold its 21st annual meeting in October 2021. The meeting brings together regional and national investigators in virology and prion biology for a 3-day retreat-style conference with extensive interaction and collaboration. The original meeting was organized by investigators in Colorado and Wyoming who were interested in the free and open exchange of scientific data and ideas concerning general virology in a venue that promotes collaboration among students, post-doctoral researchers and faculty members. Specifically, our annual meeting at the Mountain Campus of Colorado State University encourages young scientists to present their research and receive feedback from established scientists. The goals are promotion of scientific interactions and training. A major benefit of participation has been the novel collaborations that arise between scientists in different disciplines. The topics discussed include medical virology (vaccines, epidemiology, viral zoonoses), arthropod-borne diseases (RNA viruses, metabolism, viral vectors and vector biology), host defenses (viral immunology and pathogenesis), prion biology, cancer biology and systems biology. Special sessions on HIV pathogenesis, vaccine development, pandemic influenza, prions, virus discovery and the global impact of viral diseases have been featured at past meetings. The 2020 meeting featured perhaps the most disparate, yet now intimately tied fields, epidemiology and epigenetics. The next meeting will feature a retrospective on the COVID-19 pandemic with discussions on successful approaches and establishment of systems for future challenges. The attendees include scientists from Colorado State University, The University of Colorado, the University of Wyoming, the University of Northern Colorado, the Centers for Disease Control (Fort Collins) and the Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service as well as scientists from regional biotech companies, and universities in Iowa, Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana, New Mexico and Utah. The Rocky Mountain Virology Association was incorporated in 2010 as a tax-exempt educational charity (Section 501(c)(3)). Our board of directors is charged with encouraging student and junior faculty involvement by minimizing costs as we encourage women and minorities to participate in all stages of program presentation and development. Everyone involved in programming is a volunteer. Our attendance is limited by the venue to a maximum of 110 individuals. The growth of the meeting to capacity illustrates a strong desire on the part of regional scientists to participate. Funds for this proposal are requested to provide minority grants and childcare, reduced registration fees for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and early-stage investigators, and for travel and housing for seven invited speakers. Registration fees, charitable contributions, and sponsorships cover the base costs for the meeting. The RMVA has been a source of communication and collaboration for the Rocky Mountain region, with outreach across the nation, for twenty years. Our efforts and NIAID support have expanded interest in this meeting to national and international levels to the benefit of all.

会议纪要 落基山病毒学协会将于2021年10月举行第21届年会。会议 汇集了病毒学和朊病毒生物学的地区和国家研究人员， 会议进行了广泛的互动和协作。最初的会议是由调查人员组织的， 科罗拉多和怀俄明州，他们对科学数据和思想的自由和公开交流感兴趣 关于一般病毒学在一个场所，促进学生，博士后研究人员之间的合作， 和教职员工。具体来说，我们在科罗拉多州立大学山校区的年会 鼓励年轻科学家展示他们的研究成果，并从成熟的科学家那里获得反馈。的 目标是促进科学互动和培训。参与的主要好处是小说 不同学科的科学家之间的合作。讨论的主题包括医学病毒学 （疫苗、流行病学、病毒性人畜共患病）、节肢动物传播的疾病（RNA病毒、代谢、病毒载体和 载体生物学）、宿主防御（病毒免疫学和发病机理）、朊病毒生物学、癌症生物学和系统 生物学关于艾滋病毒发病机理、疫苗研制、大流行性流感、朊病毒、病毒 病毒性疾病的发现和全球影响在过去的会议上都得到了突出介绍。2020年会议 流行病学和表观遗传学也许是最不同的，但现在密切相关的领域。下一 会议将回顾2019冠状病毒病大流行，讨论成功的方法， 建立应对未来挑战的制度。与会者包括来自科罗拉多州立大学的科学家， 科罗拉多大学、怀俄明州大学、北方科罗拉多大学、 疾病控制中心（柯林斯堡）和农业部动植物卫生检验局作为 以及来自爱荷华州、爱达荷州、内布拉斯加州、堪萨斯、蒙大拿州的地区生物技术公司和大学的科学家， 新墨西哥州和犹他州。落基山病毒学协会成立于2010年，是一个免税的 教育慈善（第501（c）（3）条）。我们的董事会负责鼓励学生和初级 教师参与，最大限度地减少成本，因为我们鼓励妇女和少数民族参与的所有阶段， 节目介绍和发展。参与编程的每个人都是志愿者。我们的出席人数是 受场地限制，最多110人。会议容量的增长说明了一个强大的 区域科学家参与的愿望。本提案所需资金用于提供少数民族 赠款和儿童保育，降低研究生、博士后研究员和早期 调查员的旅费和7名应邀发言者的旅费和住宿费。注册费，慈善捐款， 会议的基本费用由赞助费支付。RMVA一直是沟通的来源， 与落基山脉地区的合作，与全国各地的推广，二十年。我们的努力和 NIAID的支持扩大了对这次会议的兴趣，使国家和国际各级都对所有人都有好处。
