DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks partial funding for a biannual conference series entitled "Virus Assembly" to be held under the sponsorship of the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB). The next meeting will be held in Saxton's River, Vermont, June 17-22, 2006, with subsequent meetings being held in June/July 2008, and June/July 2010. This conference is structured to provide an optimal opportunity for cross-disciplinary interaction between scientists that share interests in all aspects of virus assembly including virus structure, particle formation and maturation, genome packaging, virus entry and exit, virus trafficking within cells and host interactions. These topics are discussed within the context of fundamental issues in virology and as they relate to novel approaches for antiviral intervention. We also seek to encourage discussion of relatively unconventional applications of virology, such as the use of viruses in nanotechnology and materials science. The conference promotes the involvement of young female and minority scientists in these research areas. Among the invited 45 speakers and session chairs there will be 12 women. 9 additional presentations will be solicited from young scientists who submit abstracts. The major themes will be 1) structures of virions and viral proteins, 2) packaging of the viral genome, 3) viral entry, 4) viral fusion and uncoating, 5) trafficking of viruses in the cell, 6) viral protein folding and chaperone function, 7) dynamics of viral assembly, 8) virus-host interactions and 9) viruses in biotechnology and materials science.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求部分资金，用于在美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）赞助下举行的一年两次的题为“病毒组装”的系列会议。下一次会议将于2006年6月17日至22日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河举行， 2008年6月/7月和2010年6月/7月举行。本次会议旨在为科学家之间的跨学科互动提供最佳机会，这些科学家对病毒组装的各个方面都有兴趣，包括病毒结构，颗粒形成和成熟，基因组包装，病毒进入和退出，细胞内的病毒运输和宿主相互作用。这些主题是在病毒学的基本问题的背景下进行讨论，因为它们涉及到新的抗病毒干预方法。我们还鼓励对病毒学相对非常规的应用进行讨论，例如在纳米技术和材料科学中使用病毒。会议促进 青年女性和少数民族科学家参与这些研究领域。在受邀的45名发言人和会议主席中，将有12名妇女。将从提交摘要的年轻科学家那里征集9份额外的演讲。主要主题为1）病毒粒子和病毒蛋白的结构，2）病毒基因组的包装，3）病毒进入，4）病毒融合和脱壳，5）病毒在细胞中的运输，6）病毒蛋白折叠和伴侣蛋白功能，7）病毒组装的动力学，8）病毒-宿主相互作用和9）生物技术和材料科学中的病毒。
