DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 application requests partial support for the Annual Meeting of the National Sickle Cell Program. The meeting, held four of every five years since 1972, now represents a major national and international forum for research in sickle cell disease and an important venue in which basic science investigators, clinicians, service providers, and advocacy groups interact and collaborate. Investigators funded by virtually all of the NIH programs related to sickle cell disease take advantage of the meeting to gather, exchange ideas, and conduct the business of collaborative trials. A total of 450-600 participants are anticipated, including physicians, scientists, nurses, social worker and other health professions, and patient advocates. The Annual Meeting of the National Sickle Cell Program has four major goals: 1. to stimulate and enhance scientific excellence in sickle cell disease research and clinical by fostering exchange of the latest clinical and scientific information; 2. to facilitate communication and collaboration among the NHLBI-funded Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers (CSCC), other researchers and clinicians, and broader constituencies interested in sickle cell disease; 3. to provide a venue for working meetings of various NIH-funded research programs related to sickle cell disease; 4. to provide a forum in which junior investigators in a variety of fields, including the Sickle Cell Research Scholars funded by NIH through the CSCC, can present their work and interact with each other and with national leaders in sickle cell research. Support is sought for the meetings in April of 2005 and 2006, which represent the 28th and 29* Annual Meetings. The 2005 meeting will be held April 9-13 in Cincinnati, hosted by the Cincinnati Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center, and the 2006 meeting will be hosted in Memphis by the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center, Winfred Wang, Director. The Steering Committee of the CSCC will oversee planning of the conference. The requested funds will cover invited speakers, facility costs, audiovisual expenses, and program printing costs, representing approximately one third of the overall costs of the meeting. The remainder of the funds will be derived from registration fees and donations from corporate participants and sponsors.

描述（由申请人提供）：此R13申请要求部分支持国家镰状细胞计划年会。该会议自1972年以来每五年举行一次，现在是镰状细胞病研究的主要国家和国际论坛，也是基础科学研究人员，临床医生，服务提供者和倡导团体互动和合作的重要场所。几乎所有与镰状细胞病相关的NIH项目资助的研究人员都利用这次会议来收集、交流想法，并开展合作试验。预计共有450-600人参加，包括医生、科学家、护士、社会工作者和其他卫生专业人员以及病人倡导者。 全国镰状细胞病计划年会有四个主要目标： 1. 通过促进最新临床和科学信息的交流，激励和提高镰状细胞病研究和临床的科学成就; 2. 促进NHLBI资助的综合镰状细胞中心（CSCC），其他研究人员和临床医生以及对镰状细胞病感兴趣的更广泛的支持者之间的沟通和合作; 3.为各种NIH资助的镰状细胞病相关研究项目的工作会议提供场所; 4.为各个领域的初级研究人员提供一个论坛，包括由NIH通过CSCC资助的镰状细胞研究学者，可以展示他们的工作，并与镰状细胞研究的国家领导人相互交流。 2005年4月和2006年4月举行的第28次和第29次 * 年度会议需要得到支助。2005年会议将于4月9日至13日在辛辛那提举行，由辛辛那提综合镰状细胞中心主办，2006年会议将在孟菲斯举行，由圣裘德儿童研究医院综合镰状细胞中心主任Winfred Wang主办。CSCC的指导委员会将监督会议的规划。所要求的资金将用于支付应邀发言者、设施费用、视听费用和方案印刷费用，约占会议总费用的三分之一。其余资金将来自注册费和企业参与者和赞助商的捐款。
