DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Society for Virology wishes to provide, through this block grant, partial support for the travel of 20 selected outstanding junior virologists to participate in the XIIIth International Congress of virology (ICV), July, 2005. This triennial ICV will be in San Francisco, the first time it has been held in the U.S.A., and it is essential that the U.S. be represented by its best junior virologists. The ICV is a unique opportunity for U. S. junior investigators to meet and interact directly with internationally recognized expert virologists as well as learn in plenary sessions, workshops, and poster sessions the most recent developments in all virus research areas, including viruses of humans, animals, plants, insects, and prokaryotes. Current problems in clinical virology, AIDS, and SARS will be included. Plenary sessions will cover viral emergence, evolution, immunobiology, pathogenesis, molecular biology, disease control, as well as virus structure and assembly. Workshops and poster sessions will address all virus families and their replication and pathogenesis, including HIV, hepatitis, influenza, and coronaviruses. The ASV considers one excellent way to stimulate and aid junior researchers in their future work is to enable them to interact directly with the best virologists world-wide, from which unique, long-lasting collaborations often result. Dr. Patricia Spear, ASV President, as P.I. will appoint a selection committee to judge who among the applicants will receive partial travel support based upon (1) Congress participation, (2) prospect that the awardee's research will benefit, and (3) financial need. A satisfactory post-meeting report detailing the benefits to their research will be required of successful applicants. Our aim is to provide partial funding for junior virologists, including women and minority scientists, who might otherwise be unable to attend the Congress, with the goal of benefiting virological research in the U.S.A. for years to come. Virological research has many applications in the fields of infectious, immunologic, neoplastic, hematologic, pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurologic, ophthalmologic, developmental and childhood diseases, and in chronic and degenerative diseases, as well as in basic genetics, genomics, gene therapy, and biotechnology.

描述(由申请者提供)：美国病毒学学会希望通过这笔整笔赠款，为20名优秀的年轻病毒学家参加2005年7月举行的第十三届国际病毒学大会提供部分支持。三年一度的ICV将在旧金山举行，这是它第一次在美国举行，美国有最好的初级病毒学家代表是至关重要的。ICV是美国初级调查人员与国际公认的病毒学家直接会面和互动的独特机会，并在全体会议、研讨会和海报会议上了解所有病毒研究领域的最新发展，包括人类、动物、植物、昆虫和原核生物的病毒。目前在临床病毒学、艾滋病和SARS方面的问题将被包括在内。全体会议将涵盖病毒的出现、进化、免疫生物学、发病机制、分子生物学、疾病控制以及病毒结构和组装。研讨会和海报会议将讨论所有病毒家族及其复制和致病机制，包括艾滋病毒、肝炎、流感和冠状病毒。ASV认为，在未来的工作中激励和帮助初级研究人员的一个很好的方法是使他们能够直接与世界各地最好的病毒学家互动，这往往会产生独特的、持久的合作。ASV主席Patricia Spear博士将任命一个遴选委员会，根据(1)国会参与、(2)获奖者研究将受益的前景和(3)经济需求，判断申请者中谁将获得部分旅行支持。成功的申请者需要一份令人满意的会后报告，详细说明他们的研究成果。我们的目标是为包括女性和少数族裔科学家在内的初级病毒学家提供部分资金，否则她们可能无法出席大会，目标是在未来几年为美国的病毒学研究提供帮助。病毒学研究在传染病、免疫学、肿瘤、血液学、肺部、心血管、胃肠、神经学、眼科、发育和儿童疾病、慢性和退行性疾病以及基础遗传学、基因组学、基因治疗和生物技术等领域有着广泛的应用。
