DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this proposal is to request funding for travel expenses, registration, and housing for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows who will be attending the "FASEB Summer Research Conferences on Microbial Polysaccharides of Medical, Agricultural, and Industrial Importance" June 5-9, 2004 in Tuscon, Arizona. This meeting is designed to bring together established and new investigators in the field of microbial polysaccharides to facilitate the exchange of new concepts in microbial pathogenesis and immunity, cell biology, plant pathology, environmental microbiology, metabolism, and gene regulation. Presently, few venues are available to promote the interactions of scientists from academia, industry, and government agencies in these diverse areas and this meeting provided this unique setting when last held in August 2000. Four years will have passed since the last meeting and many new advances, concepts, and techniques have been developed since that time in these areas of research. We have proposed eight scientific sessions that will cover in detail new topics and ideas that have emerged during this time. As at the last Microbial Polysaccharide meeting, the session topics and poster presentations will be organized to integrate these various topics, rather than to separate them. In addition, free time will be available before the afternoon poster session for informal social interactions in order to promote potential future collaborations between young investigators and those individuals more established in the field. We will also continue the tradition of selecting the best Abstracts from graduate students and post-doctoral fellows for oral presentations at the meeting. This will further encourage these important interactions. We have included women and minorities as speakers and session's chairs in the program and based on past meetings, a broad international contingent should be in attendance. This meeting will provide a unique environment for scientific exchange between a diverse group of investigators in the area of microbial polysaccharides.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的目的是为研究生和博士后研究员提供差旅费，注册和住房的资金，他们将参加“ FaseB夏季研究会议，涉及医疗，农业，工业重要性的微生物多糖”，2004年6月5-9日，2004年6月5日至9日，在Tuscon，Arizona，Arizone。这次会议旨在将微生物多糖领域的已建立和新研究人员汇集在一起​​，以促进微生物发病机理和免疫，细胞生物学，植物病理学，环境微生物学，代谢和基因调节中新概念的交换。目前，很少有场所可以促进这些不同领域的学术界，行业和政府机构的科学家的互动，并且本次会议在2000年8月上次举行时提供了这种独特的环境。自上次会议以来，自上次会议和许多新的进步，概念和技术以来，已经过去了四年。我们提出了八次科学会议，这些会议将详细介绍此期间出现的新主题和想法。就像最后一个微生物 多糖会议，会议主题和海报演示将组织以整合这些各种主题，而不是将其分开。此外，将在下午海报会议上进行非正式社交互动的空闲时间，以促进年轻调查员与该领域更加成立的年轻调查员之间的潜在合作。我们还将继续传统，即从会议上选择研究生和博士后研究员的最佳摘要。这将进一步鼓励这些重要的互动。我们将妇女和少数民族作为演讲者和会议主席，并根据过去的会议，应该出席广泛的国际特遣队。这次会议将为微生物多糖领域的各种研究人员之间的科学交流提供一个独特的环境。
