DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant request is for two hundred (200) Travel Awards of $1,000 each for a total of $200,000, for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty members to attend the 12th International Congress of Immunology (ICI) to be held July 18-23, 2004 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada under the auspices of IUIS (International Union of Immunology Societies) and FOCIS (Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies). This application request funds for approximately 40% of the Travel Award budget. Additional funding is either already secured or is being requested from institutional, charitable and industrial sponsors. The ICI scientific program consists of symposia, poster sessions and workshops subdivided into 5 themes: Immune Regulation, Host Resistance, Immunogenetics, Immunodiagnosis and Immunointervention. The Congress will provide the most up-to-date information on the basic and applied advances in immunology research through the mix of 10 Keynote Lectures, 5 Future Challenges sessions, 35 Symposia, 150 Interactive Workshops (Minisymposia) and 10 Poster Sessions (each with approximately 500 abstracts). The program also includes topics such as public information about immunology, transfer of research discoveries in immunology from the bench to bedside to community, technology transfer in immunology from university to industry and social and ethical issues. Several innovations will make the ICI an effective forum for dissemination, including: effective abstract submission and retrieval, assurance of up-to-date coverage of advances in immunology research, mission-oriented sessions, creation of a hyper-media library of posters using a digital versatile disc technology, and structured opportunities to facilitate effective interaction between university and industry. The integration of the ICI with the annual FOCIS conference will promote translation of fundamental research to new diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic approaches to immune-mediated inflammatory disorders. Trainees and new investigators will be offered ample opportunity to understand where and how breakthroughs in basic science of immunology are coming into the clinic. The expected Congress attendance is 10,000 participants, 70% from the USA and the remainder from Canada, Europe, South America, Asia and Africa. We estimate that 50% of our attendees will be young investigators. The confirmed speakers and symposia/minisymposia chairs come from 20 countries, 53% being from the USA. Twenty % of our Congress Faculty are women and 10% are either members of visible minorities or come from the homelands of US and Canadian minorities.

描述（申请人提供）：本补助金申请是为研究生、博士后研究员和初级教员提供200（200）个旅行奖，每人1,000美元，共计20万美元，用于参加将于2004年7月18日至23日在魁北克蒙特利尔举行的第12届国际免疫学大会（ICI）。加拿大在IUIS（国际免疫学会联合会）和FOCIS（临床免疫学会联合会）的主持下。 该申请要求的资金约占旅行奖励预算的40%。 额外的资金要么已经获得，要么正在向机构、慈善和工业赞助者提出要求。ICI科学计划包括专题讨论会，海报会议和研讨会，分为5个主题：免疫调节，宿主抵抗力，免疫遗传学，免疫诊断和免疫干预。 大会将通过10个主题演讲，5个未来挑战会议，35个专题讨论会，150个互动研讨会（Minisymopsia）和10个海报会议（每个约500个摘要）的组合，提供关于免疫学研究的基础和应用进展的最新信息。 该计划还包括有关免疫学的公共信息，从实验室到床边到社区的免疫学研究发现的转移，从大学到行业的免疫学技术转移以及社会和伦理问题等主题。 几项创新将使ICI成为一个有效的传播论坛，包括：有效的摘要提交和检索，保证最新的免疫学研究进展，面向任务的会议，使用数字多功能光盘技术创建一个海报超媒体图书馆，以及促进大学和工业之间有效互动的结构化机会。 ICI与年度FOCIS会议的整合将促进基础研究转化为免疫介导的炎症性疾病的新诊断，预防和治疗方法。 学员和新的研究人员将有充分的机会了解免疫学基础科学的突破在哪里以及如何进入临床。 预计大会将有10，000名与会者，其中70%来自美国，其余来自加拿大，欧洲，南美，亚洲和非洲。 我们估计，50%的与会者将是年轻的研究人员。 已确认的演讲者和研讨会/小型研讨会主席来自20个国家，其中53%来自美国。我们的国会教师的20%是女性，10%是明显的少数民族成员或来自美国和加拿大少数民族的家园。
