DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The funds requested herein are for the support of pre- and post-doctoral trainees to attend three annual conferences of the Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society (PNIRS), Research Perspectives in PNI. There are over 300 members of the PNIRS from the U.S. and abroad, of whom about 30% are trainee members. The PNIRS officers are: Robert Dantzer, President; Mark Laudenslager, Secretary; Dana Bovbjerg, Treasurer; Ronald Glaser, President-elect; Christopher Coe, Past-president. A Program Committee includes Robert Dantzer, Ronald Glaser, Mark Laudenslager, Dana Bovbjerg, Lucile Capuron, Monica Fleshner, Cobi Heijnen, Rod Johnson, Virginia Sanders, Manfred Schedlowski and Linda Watkins. All trainee awardees will be selected on the basis of the scientific excellence of their submitted abstracts. A considerable body of research suggests that psychological factors alter susceptibility to illness and affect disease progression. To determine the mechanisms by which psychological factors have this effect, it is essential to promote and enable interactions among immunologists, neuroscientists, and behavioral scientists. This conference will provide an outstanding opportunity for trainees to interact with researchers in the field of psychoneuroimmunology (nervous-immune system interactions and their clinical implications). They will learn about available resources for collaborative work, additional training opportunities, and issues related to technical aspects of analysis in the areas of immunology, neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, endocrinology, psychology, and health evaluations, among others. The meeting agenda includes the Norman Cousins Lecture, five symposia, plenary presentations and poster sessions selected from submitted abstracts. In addition, a number of training-related activities are planned for each annual meeting consistent with the society's commitment to training: specialized Educational Courses; Senior Faculty-trainee colloquia; symposia with a focus on career development (e.g., NIH funding opportunities: Grant writing); and panel discussions (e.g., teaching PNI). Other more informal venues (e.g. breakfast and luncheon roundtable meetings with senior investigators, trainee dinners) will foster research collaborations and interactions between senior scientists and trainees. Across three years of funding, an Advisory Committee comprised of senior scientists and "graduates" of the trainee travel award program will oversee this organizational commitment to research training within the context of the PNIRS conference.

描述（由申请人提供）：本文所要求的资金是用于支持博士前和博士后学员参加心理神经免疫学研究学会（PNIRS）的三次年度会议，PNI的研究展望。PNIRS有来自美国和国外的300多名成员，其中约30%是实习成员。国家情报和报告系统的官员是：Robert Dantzer，总裁; Mark Laudenslager，秘书; Dana Bovbjerg，财务主任;当选总统罗纳德格拉泽;前总统克里斯托弗科。一个计划委员会包括罗伯特·丹策、罗纳德·格拉泽、马克·劳登斯拉格、达纳·博布约、露西尔·卡普隆、莫妮卡·弗莱什纳、科比·海宁、罗德·约翰逊、弗吉尼亚·桑德斯、曼弗雷德·舍德洛夫斯基和琳达·沃特金斯。所有实习生获奖者将根据其提交的摘要的科学卓越性进行选择。 大量研究表明，心理因素会改变对疾病的易感性，并影响疾病的进展。为了确定心理因素产生这种影响的机制，必须促进和实现免疫学家，神经科学家和行为科学家之间的互动。本次会议将为学员提供一个与心理神经免疫学（神经免疫系统相互作用及其临床意义）领域的研究人员互动的绝佳机会。他们将了解协作工作的可用资源，额外的培训机会，以及与免疫学，神经生理学，神经解剖学，内分泌学，心理学和健康评估等领域的分析技术方面相关的问题。会议议程包括Norman Wellington讲座，五个专题讨论会，全体演讲和从提交的摘要中选出的海报会议。此外，根据学会对培训的承诺，为每次年会计划了一些与培训有关的活动：专门的教育课程;高级学院学员座谈会;以职业发展为重点的专题讨论会（例如，NIH资助机会：赠款写作）;和小组讨论（例如，学习PNI）。其他更非正式的场合（例如与高级研究人员的早餐和午餐圆桌会议，学员晚宴）将促进高级科学家和学员之间的研究合作和互动。在为期三年的资助中，由资深科学家和受训旅行奖励计划的“毕业生”组成的咨询委员会将监督PNIRS会议背景下对研究培训的组织承诺。
