This proposal requests partial support for the yearly La Jolla Immunology Conference over the next five years. The 2008 meeting will represent the 34th annual conference that brings together fundamental Immunologists from the San Diego and has included members of the Los Angeles region (over the past 5 years). This superb small meeting is set for October 21-23, 2008 and will be held at the Salk Institute in La Jolla. This is a long-standing meeting that provides a high-level training ground for Immunology students, post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty. The meeting emphasizes local groups and draws 200-300 attendees each year. Participants and speakers are drawn primarily from the San Diego area with recent inclusion of groups from the greater Los Angeles area. There are two keynote speakers who are invited each year to open the meeting and set the tone for discussion and then close the meeting to help to provide perspective on the proceedings. The meeting content focuses on the most exciting Immunology research that is being pursued in the area and the yearly program is constructed to showcase current emerging trends and highlight future directions. The meeting runs for 2.5 days with 16 speakers invited from the rank of faculty (at least 6 new investigators) and 16 speakers selected from abstracts submitted in the summer prior to the meeting. A further 60-80 abstracts are presented as posters. The purpose of this meeting is to 1) maximize the training experience for younger scientists in the area of Immunology 2) foster a strong community spirit in the San Diego and greater Los Angeles area that contains so many outstanding laboratories focused on Basic Immunology. 3) encourage new collaborations across individuals within groups at separate academic institutions. 4) elaborate the potential for larger multi-focal (and perhaps multi-disciplinary) scientific initiatives that utilize the substantial breadth and depth of scientific research in the local environment.

这项提议要求在未来五年内为每年一度的拉霍亚免疫学会议提供部分支持。2008年的会议将是第34届年度会议，来自圣地亚哥的基础免疫学家齐聚一堂，包括洛杉矶地区的成员(过去5年)。这场精彩绝伦的小型会议定于2008年10月21日至23日在拉霍亚的索尔克研究所举行。 这是一次长期的会议，为免疫学学生、博士后研究员和初级教员提供了一个高水平的培训场地。会议强调地方团体，每年吸引200-300人参加。与会者和发言者主要来自圣地亚哥地区，最近还包括来自大洛杉矶地区的团体。每年有两位主旨发言人应邀在会议开幕并为讨论定下基调，然后结束会议，以帮助提供对会议进程的看法。会议内容集中在该领域正在进行的最令人兴奋的免疫学研究，年度计划的构建是为了展示当前的新兴趋势和突出未来的方向。会议为期2.5天，邀请了16名来自教职员工级别的发言者(至少6名新调查人员)，并从会议前一个夏天提交的摘要中挑选了16名发言者。另有60-80篇摘要以海报的形式呈现。 这次会议的目的是 1)最大限度地提高年轻科学家在免疫学领域的培训经验 2)在圣地亚哥和大洛杉矶地区培养强烈的社区精神，那里有如此多专注于基础免疫学的优秀实验室。 3)鼓励在不同学术机构的小组内跨个人进行新的合作。 4)阐述更大的多重点(也许是多学科)科学倡议的潜力，利用当地环境中的大量科学研究的广度和深度。
