This proposal request funds for support of the tenth symposium entitled "Recent Advances in The Immunology and Biochemistry of Tropical Diseases" which will be held at Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday and Tuesday, April 12-13, 1993. The goals of this symposium are twofold: (1) To discuss current research on the organisms which cause tropical diseases; (2) To stimulate minority students towards postgraduate education in molecular biology, biochemistry and biomedical sciences. The symposium will be sponsored by the School of Graduate Studies and Research and the Division of Biomedical Sciences at Meharry Medical College. As part of this conference, undergraduate and graduate students from historically black colleges and universities and major institutes will be encouraged to attend and present posters on research that they are undertaking in various laboratories at their institutions. The students will have an opportunity to discuss their research with attendees at the symposium as well as Meharry Medical College faculty. In addition, they will be encouraged to visit various laboratories and discuss ongoing research at our institution. The symposium will include six invited lecturers in various areas in tropical diseases covering areas such as African trypanosomiasis, schistosomiasis, malaria, leishmaniasis, and Chagas' disease. Ample time will be available for discussions. This is the tenth year for the symposium which has been held each year since 1984 and in 1992 eighty-three(83) students attended from fifteen (15) historically black colleges and universities as well as majority institutions. The total attendance from all participants was 240. There were several benefits to the 1992 symposium which should be noted. The speakers emphasized the opportunity they received to interact with scientists in related fields and to meet talented minority students. They also noted their desire to initiate a similar program at their institution. In addition, students from major research institutions (e.g., Stanford, University of North Carolina) interacted with students from historically black colleges and universities providing an opportunity for each to network with one another.

本提案要求为第十次研讨会提供资金支持，题为 “热带病免疫学和生物化学的最新进展” 将于田纳西州纳什维尔梅哈里医学院举行 1993 年 4 月 12 日至 13 日星期一和星期二。本次研讨会的目标是 双重： (1) 讨论引起热带病的生物体的研究现状 疾病； （二）鼓励少数民族学生攻读研究生 分子生物学、生物化学和生物医学。 本次研讨会由研究生院主办， Meharry Medical 的研究和生物医学科学部 大学。 作为本次会议的一部分，本科生和研究生 来自历史悠久的黑人学院、大学和主要机构 将被鼓励参加并展示他们的研究海报 正在其机构的各个实验室进行。 这 学生将有机会与其他人讨论他们的研究 研讨会的与会者以及梅哈里医学院的教师。 此外，还将鼓励他们参观各种实验室和 讨论我们机构正在进行的研究。 研讨会将包括 六位热带病各个领域的特邀讲师，涵盖 非洲锥虫病、血吸虫病、疟疾等地区 利什曼病和恰加斯病。 将有充足的时间 讨论。 每年举办一次的研讨会已是第十年了 自 1984 年以来和 1992 年，共有八十三 (83) 名学生参加，其中 15 名 (15)历史悠久的黑人学院和大学以及大多数 机构。 所有参与者的总出席人数为 240 人。 1992 年研讨会有几个值得关注的好处。 这 发言者强调了他们获得的与 相关领域的科学家并结识有才华的少数民族学生。 他们还表示希望在他们的公司启动类似的计划 机构。 此外，来自各大研究机构的学生 （如斯坦福大学、北卡罗来纳大学）与学生互动 来自历史悠久的黑人学院和大学提供 为每个人提供相互交流的机会。
