DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Once every three years, the community of scientists engaged in mucosal immunology research convene at the International Congress of Mucosal Immunity to obtain an in-depth overview of their scientific area. The 11th such International Congress will be held in Orlando, FL on June 16-20, 2002 at the Wyndham Palace Hotel and is being organized under the auspices of the Society for Mucosal Immunity led by the current President Dr. Charles Elson (University of Alabama). Each day of this four-day meeting will focus on a major scientific area of interest to mucosal immunologists. This includes days devoted to antigen presentation as well as B cell, T cell, and epithelial cell barrier function. Each day of the meeting will begin with a plenary session in which outstanding scientists from both outside and inside the area of mucosal immunology will speak. These will be followed by Symposia driven by abstracts submitted by meeting participants. Finally, each day will end with an address from an outstanding mucosal immunologist who will sum up research in their respective area of interest. The Congress will focus on basic themes of mucosal immunity including oral tolerance, regulation of mucosal responses, antigen presentation and B cell function in the mucosal immune system. In addition, it will examine diseases due to mucosal immune dysfunction including such major diseases as inflammatory bowel diseases, asthma, and Helicobactor infection. Finally, it will devote major attention to mucosal vaccine development, particularly as this elucidates the search for a HIV vaccine. Overall, the Congress is a major and necessary part of the intellectual landscape of mucosal immunity. A major goal of this Congress is to attract young investigators into the field of basic mucosal immunology as well as the study of mucosal diseases having an immunologic origin, and support for such individuals is being sought in this application. Support for young investigators is critical because they represent the future of the field.

描述（由申请人提供）：每三年一次，从事粘膜免疫学研究的科学家社区在国际粘膜免疫大会上召开会议，以深入了解他们的科学领域。第11届此类国际大会将于2002年6月16-20日在佛罗里达州奥兰多的Wyndham Palace酒店举行，由现任主席Charles Elson博士（亚拉巴马大学）领导的粘液免疫学会主持组织。为期四天的会议的每一天都将集中在粘膜免疫学家感兴趣的一个主要科学领域。这包括专门用于抗原呈递以及B细胞、T细胞和上皮细胞屏障功能的天数。会议的每一天都将以全体会议开始，来自粘膜免疫学领域内外的杰出科学家将发言。随后将举行由与会者提交的摘要推动的专题讨论会。最后，每一天都将以一位杰出的粘膜免疫学家的演讲结束，他将总结各自感兴趣领域的研究。大会将集中讨论粘膜免疫的基本主题，包括口服耐受、粘膜反应的调节、抗原呈递和粘膜免疫系统中的B细胞功能。此外，它将检查由于粘膜免疫功能障碍引起的疾病，包括炎症性肠病，哮喘和螺旋杆菌感染等重大疾病。 最后，它将主要关注粘膜疫苗的开发，特别是因为这阐明了HIV疫苗的研究。总的来说，大会是粘膜免疫知识景观的主要和必要的组成部分。本次大会的一个主要目标是吸引年轻的研究人员进入基础粘膜免疫学领域以及具有免疫学起源的粘膜疾病的研究，并在此申请中寻求对这些人的支持。对年轻调查人员的支持至关重要，因为他们代表着该领域的未来。
