PROJECT SUMMARY: The organizers of the 16th International Congress on Toxoplasmosis and Toxoplasma gondii Research request support for this meeting, which will occur in May 2022, after a 1 year pandemic-re- lated delay. Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous, protozoan parasite that is transmitted through contaminated food and water. Subclinical toxoplasmosis infects up to 1/3 of the world’s population. In the immunosuppressed, the parasite can be fatal and causes encephalitis and blindness. This biennial meeting brings together clinicians and principal investigators, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows from labora- tories engaged in Toxoplasma research worldwide. The main program will consist of non-concurrent short talks, selected from submitted abstracts and organized thematically with evening poster sessions. The strength of this meeting is that it brings together researchers from different disciplines who rarely attend the same meet- ings. These groups include parasite cell and molecular biologists, immunologists, clinical investigators, industry researchers, and representatives of governmental regulatory and public health agencies. The breadth of these topics will be covered by the following five categories: Parasite Cell Biology; Epidemiology, Clinical, and Envi- ronmental Science; Immunology; Host-Parasite Interactions; and Genomics and Population Biology. As in prior meetings, attendees will be encouraged to present unpublished work, and particular attention will be paid to ensuring that early career scientists are highlighted. The aims of this meeting are to: disseminate pioneering research and technology to the field to increase cross-disciplinary collaborations (Aim 1) and support the ca- reers of trainees and junior investigators in STEM, including those from historically marginalized communities (Aim 2). Aim 1 will be accomplished through a diverse range of sequential sessions that encourages discus- sion; the sharing of unpublished data across disciplines through talks and poster sessions; networking events; and two pre-meeting workshops. In addition, to disseminate the scientific content to those who could not attend the meeting, mSphere will publish a summary of meeting highlights, and talks will be posted online. Aim 2 will be accomplished by selecting talks from submitted abstracts which encompass all scientific levels (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, PIs); increasing the visibility of Junior PIs through their selection as session chairs; a Career Development Workshop for trainees that will highlight the vast array of career options availa- ble to those with advanced scientific training; and, for the first time at this conference, an Outreach Event for AP Biology High School students from a local school district with a high percentage of minoritized students. The funds requested in this grant will 1) facilitate travel and registration for new investigators from geo- graphically underrepresented regions, 2) subsidize travel for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows (~30% of meeting attendees), and 3) support childcare/dependents grants; all of which are critical to maximize our ability to diversify our attendees and make our conference fully inclusive.

项目摘要：第16届国际弓形虫病和弓形虫的组织者 Gondii的研究要求对这次会议的支持，该会议将于2022年5月举行。 最新延迟。弓形虫Gondii是一种普遍存在的原生动物寄生虫，通过被污染传播 食物和水。亚临床弓形虫病感染最多1/3世界人口。在 免疫抑制，寄生虫可能是致命的，并导致脑炎和失明。这两年一次的会议 汇集了临床医生和主要研究人员，研究生和博士后研究员 保守党在全球从事弓形虫研究。主要程序将由非电流简短组成 会谈，从提交的摘要中选择，并通过晚间海报会议进行主题组织。力量 这次会议的是，它汇集了来自不同学科的研究人员，他们很少参加同一会议 - s。这些组包括寄生虫细胞和分子生物学家，免疫学家，临床研究人员，工业 研究人员，代表政府监管机构。这些的广度 主题将由以下五类涵盖：寄生虫细胞生物学；流行病学，临床和环境 罗恩·科学；免疫学；宿主 - 寄生虫相互作用；以及基因组学和种群生物学。就像先前一样 会议，将鼓励与会者提出未发表的工作，并特别注意 确保早期的职业科学家得到强调。这次会议的目的是：传播开拓性 该领域的研究和技术以增加跨学科合作（AIM 1）并支持CA- STEM的受训者和初级调查员的卷轴，包括历史上边缘化社区的人 （目标2）。 AIM 1将通过序列的潜水范围来完成，以鼓励铁饼 - sion;通过谈判和海报会议共享跨学科的未发表数据；网络事件； 和两个预选研讨会。此外，将科学内容传播给那些无法参加的人 会议，MSPhere将发布会议重点的摘要，并且会议将在线发布。 AIM 2意志 可以通过从涵盖所有科学级别的提交摘要中选择谈话来完成（等级 学生，博士后研究员，pis）；通过选择会增加初级PI的可见性 椅子；一个针对受训者的职业发展研讨会，将强调各种各样的职业选择 - 对那些接受高级科学培训的人；而且，这是在这次会议上首次参加 来自当地学区的AP Biology高中学生，少数少数学生。 这笔赠款中要求的资金将为1）促进从地理位置的新调查人员的旅行和注册 图形代表性不足的地区，2）补贴研究生和博士后研究员的旅行（〜30％ 会议与会者）和3）支持育儿/抚养人赠款；所有这些对于最大化我们的 能够使我们的与会者多样化并使我们的会议完全包容。
