DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks partial funding for a conference entitled "Virus Assembly" to be held in Saxton's River, Vermont, July 3-8, 2004, under the sponsorship of the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB). The specific aims of the conference are: 1. To create a forum for the interaction of scientists that study all aspects virus assembly, that spans investigator career stage, virus system, and methods of study. The goal is to foster awareness and novel collaborations that would not occur as a result of meetings devoted to a single virus group. Past meetings have had a remarkable record of nucleating collaborations of exceptional value and productivity, as well as significantly influencing the direction of individual experiments based on potential virus analogies, and we wish to encourage this trend. 2. To specifically encourage investigators at the graduate student and post doctoral level to pursue careers that blend methods of chemistry, biophysics and cell biology to understand viral pathogenesis, particularly as it relates to particle entry, disassembly, assembly, maturation and exit. We also seek to encourage discussion of relatively unorthodox applications of virology, as represented at our last meeting by presentations describing plant viruses as scaffolds for nanoelectronics, and animal viruses as platforms for vaccines against infectious diseases and cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求为将于2004年7月3日至8日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河举行的题为“病毒组装”的会议提供部分资金，该会议由美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）赞助。会议的具体目标是： 1.创建一个论坛，供研究病毒组装各个方面的科学家进行互动，涵盖研究者职业阶段、病毒系统和研究方法。其目标是促进意识和新颖的合作，这不会因为专门讨论单一病毒组的会议而发生。过去的会议在促成具有非凡价值和生产力的合作方面有着出色的记录，并对基于潜在病毒类比的个体实验的方向产生了重大影响，我们希望鼓励这种趋势。 2.特别鼓励研究生和博士后水平的研究人员从事混合化学，生物物理学和细胞生物学方法的职业，以了解病毒的发病机制，特别是当它涉及到粒子进入，拆卸，组装，成熟和退出。我们还鼓励讨论病毒学的相对非正统的应用，如在我们上次会议上所代表的介绍，描述植物病毒作为纳米电子学的支架，动物病毒作为对抗传染病和癌症的疫苗的平台。
