This conference grant (R13) application requests funds to partially cover the cost of planning, organizing, publicizing and hosting the 17th Annual Symposium on Non-human Primate Models for AIDS. The symposium will be held October 6-9, 1999 at the DoubleTree Hotel and Conference Center in New Orleans, Louisiana and will be hosted by the Tulane Regional Primate Research Center, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA. This meeting has become the premier forum for the presentation and exchange of the most recent scientific advances in AIDS research utilizing the non-human primate model. The latest findings in pathogenesis, primate immunology, vaccines and therapeutics will be presented. It is anticipated that more than 300 scientists from the United States, abroad and Puerto Rico will attend. The symposium will encompass five consecutive half-day scientific sessions, each devoted to a different theme. These will be: (1) AIDS-associated Infections, (2) Primate Vaccine/Therapeutics. Each session will have an invited Chair, who will give a 30-minute state-of-the-art presentation to open the session and a Co-Chair, who will moderate the session and entertain questions. In addition, there will be an invited keynote speaker and banquet speaker to address scientific approaches and concerns regarding the global AIDS crisis and related issues of public health. A Scientific Program Committee consisting of element members (six members from TRPRC/Tulane and five from other institutions) will review abstracts and select those for oral versus Poster presentation for each of the five scientific disciplines. Criteria for selection of oral presentations will include relevance of the topic as well as originality and quality of the information contained in the abstract. These giving talks will be invited to submit their presentations in manuscript form for publication in the Journal of Medical Primatology. A poster session will include meritorious presentations that cannot be accommodate in one of the five platform sessions. The conference will also include an opening reception on speaker (NOTE: funds for the reception and banquet will be obtained from other sources).

该会议拨款 (R13) 申请要求资金部分支付规划、组织、宣传和主办第 17 届非人类灵长类艾滋病模型年度研讨会的费用。该研讨会将于1999年10月6日至9日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良的逸林酒店及会议中心举行，由路易斯安那州新奥尔良杜兰大学杜兰地区灵长类动物研究中心主办。这次会议已成为展示和交流利用非人类灵长类动物模型进行艾滋病研究的最新科学进展的首要论坛。将介绍发病机制、灵长类免疫学、疫苗和治疗学方面的最新发现。预计来自美国、国外和波多黎各的 300 多名科学家将出席。研讨会将包括连续五个为期半天的科学会议，每个会议专门讨论一个不同的主题。这些将是：(1) 艾滋病相关感染，(2) 灵长类动物疫苗/治疗。每场会议将有一位特邀主席，他将进行 30 分钟的最先进演讲以拉开会议序幕，并有一位联合主席，他将主持会议并回答问题。此外，还将邀请一位主旨演讲人和宴会演讲人来讨论有关全球艾滋病危机和相关公共卫生问题的科学方法和担忧。由基本成员（TRPRC/杜兰大学的六名成员和其他机构的五名成员）组成的科学计划委员会将审查摘要，并选择用于五个科学学科中每个学科的口头与海报展示的摘要。口头报告的选择标准将包括主题的相关性以及摘要中包含的信息的原创性和质量。这些演讲将被邀请以手稿形式提交他们的演讲，以便在《医学灵长类动物学杂志》上发表。海报会议将包括五个平台会议之一无法容纳的优秀演讲。会议还将包括演讲者开幕招待会（注：招待会和宴会的资金将从其他来源获得）。
