DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): ?Parasitism? refers to the successful invasion of and survival within a host by a microbe. The outcome of microbial infection is influenced by both host defense and microbial virulence factors. Advances in immunology, molecular biology, cell biology and host/microbial genetics have illuminated common themes governing the outcome of microbe-initiated diseases. Lessons learned from one infectious disease can enhance our understanding of diseases caused by another. This Mechanisms of Parasitism training program represents a union between the fields of parasitology, bacterial pathogenesis and immunology into a single program. Its goal is to enhance collaborative research and training among laboratories at the University of Iowa specializing in these disciplines, and in the process provide a rich environment for the development of trainees. Since its beginning four years ago, the Mechanisms in Parasitism program has funded 15 trainees, initiated a Research Retreat and Journal Club, sponsored outside speakers, and created a ?T32 room? to provide trainees with computerized support. During the coming grant period we additionally propose to expand the Journal club to a Parasitism Research Meeting, add faculty from the new and productive Inflammation Group, and initiate a ?target recruiting? approach for postdoctoral fellows. We propose to maintain our postdoctoral fellow positions at 3 but expand from 3 to 4 predoctoral trainee positions due to the number of high quality candidates we have had to turn down for funding. This program has provided a productive environment where there is exchange of creative ideas between faculty and trainees working on different aspects of microbial infection. We propose in this application to enhance the program and to further enrich our training environment during an additional five-year funding period.

描述（由申请人提供）：？寄生？指的是成功 微生物入侵宿主并在宿主中生存。微生物的结果 感染受宿主防御和微生物毒力因子的影响。 免疫学、分子生物学、细胞生物学和宿主/微生物研究进展 遗传学阐明了控制微生物引发的 疾病从一种传染病中吸取的教训可以提高 我们对由另一种疾病引起的疾病的理解。这种寄生机制 培训计划代表了寄生虫学领域之间的联合， 细菌致病机理和免疫学整合到一个程序中。它的目标是 加强各实验室之间的合作研究和培训， 专门研究这些学科的爱荷华州大学， 为学员的发展提供丰富的环境。以来 从四年前开始，寄生虫机制计划已经资助了15个 学员，发起了一个研究务虚会和杂志俱乐部，赞助外部 扬声器，并创建了？T32房间？为学员提供电脑化的 支持.在即将到来的资助期内，我们还建议扩大 期刊俱乐部的寄生虫研究会议，增加教师从新的和 生产性炎症组，并启动一个？目标招募？方法 博士后我们建议保留我们的博士后研究员职位 在3，但扩大从3至4博士前实习生职位，由于数量 高质量的候选人，我们不得不拒绝资助。这个程序有 提供了一个富有成效的环境， 在从事微生物不同方面工作的教师和学员之间， 感染在本申请中，我们建议增强该程序， 在额外的五年资助期间，进一步丰富我们的培训环境 期
