DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested from NIH for partial support of the 1lth Annual Meeting of the International Cytokine Society (ICS), to be held at the Caribe Hilton Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on October 21-25, 2004. The meeting will be held jointly with the International Society for Interferon and Cytokine Research (ISICR), and is the 5th joint meeting held by the two societies. The meeting is entitled "Cytokines in Cancer and Immunity," and is focused on recent discoveries relating to the role of cytokines in cancer biology, tumor immunology, and immunity. The meeting will: (1) explore mechanisms of carcinogenesis, (2) explore the diseases and disease models relevant to the study of oncogenesis, and (3) highlight how cytokine-based therapies are being used to treat cancer and augment tumor immunity. Organization of the meeting is provided by Drs. Matthew Fenton, Nancy Ruddle, John Hiscott, and Nancy Reich who comprise the Executive Organizing Committee. The confirmed speaker list includes Drs. Tak Mak and Michael Karin as keynote speakers, as well as Drs. Tom Maniatis, Harvey Lodish, Anjana Rao, Shizuo Akira, John O'Shea, Keiko Ozato, Barrett Rollins, and Fran Balkwill as plenary lecturers. The program consists of 21 invited plenary presentations, 21 concurrent symposium presentations, 108 oral workshop presentations, plus three poster sessions. All of the workshop speakers will be selected from submitted abstracts, with abstracts from student and postdoctoral fellow applicants given special consideration for oral presentation. We request partial support to provide travel support for invited speakers, students, and junior scientists (postdoctoral and clinical fellows, junior faculty). Because of the location and program for the meeting, we anticipate attendance of approximately 400-500 people, with at least 150 students/postdoctoral fellows applying to attend. Overall, we will provide a forum for the interaction of diverse groups involved in the study of cytokines, cancer, and immunity.

描述（由申请人提供）：申请NIH提供资金，用于部分支持将于2004年10月21日至25日在波多黎各圣胡安的加勒比希尔顿酒店举行的国际细胞因子学会（ICS）第11届年会。此次会议将与国际干扰素和细胞因子研究学会（ISICR）联合举行，是两个学会举行的第五次联合会议。会议的题目是“细胞因子在癌症和免疫”，并集中在最近的发现有关的细胞因子在癌症生物学，肿瘤免疫学和免疫的作用。会议将：（1）探索致癌机制，（2）探索与肿瘤发生研究相关的疾病和疾病模型，以及（3）强调基于精氨酸的疗法如何用于治疗癌症和增强肿瘤免疫力。会议的组织工作由马修芬顿博士、南希·拉德尔博士、约翰·希斯科特博士和南希·赖希博士组成，他们是执行组织委员会的成员。已确定的讲者名单包括麦德博士和迈克尔·卡琳博士作为主题演讲者，以及汤姆·马尼亚提斯博士、哈维·洛迪什博士、安贾娜·拉奥博士、静雄·阿基拉博士、约翰·奥谢博士、尾里惠子博士、巴雷特·罗林斯博士和弗兰·卡威尔博士作为全体演讲者。该计划包括21个邀请的全体会议报告，21个并行研讨会报告，108个口头研讨会报告，加上三个海报会议。所有研讨会的发言者将从提交的摘要中选出，学生和博士后申请人的摘要将特别考虑口头陈述。我们要求部分支持，为受邀演讲者，学生和初级科学家（博士后和临床研究员，初级教师）提供旅行支持。由于会议的地点和计划，我们预计约有400-500人出席，至少有150名学生/博士后申请参加。总的来说，我们将为参与细胞因子，癌症和免疫研究的不同群体的相互作用提供一个论坛。
