DESCRIPTION: The meeting program is entitled the Rocky Mountain Virology Conference. Overall Impact: This conference has been held for the past 11 years and brings together virologists from institutions in the Rocky Mountain area. The venue is appealing, especially to young people. The organizers have considered many facets of the meeting program and organization to optimize the impact on attendees. They provide concrete evidence of productive collaborations that have resulted from previous meetings. The significance is lessened by the fact that the meeting is extremely regional and almost resembles an expanded lab meeting. There is no real advertisement or recruitment of participants from elsewhere. 1. Significance: Strengths: * The topics and pathogens to be discussed are timely and important. * Progress in the field will be enhanced through the development of additional collaborations within the region. * Cross-fertilization among investigators in the region, especially young investigators and students, should promote more promising approaches to common issues in pathogenesis and treatments. Weaknesses: * This is a very regional meeting, which diminishes the significance. 2. Investigators: Strengths: * The PI is a junior investigator with the scientific background, experience, and vigor needed to lead this conference. * The organizing committee is broadly representative and experienced. Weaknesses: * No weaknesses are noted. 3. Innovation: Strengths: * The venue could be considered innovative. * The conference structure provides ample opportunities for student and postdoc presentations. * Awards for junior investigators add incentive for intra- and inter-institutional competition. Weaknesses: * There are no "outsiders" to stimulate oblique discussion. 4. Approach: Strengths: * The format has been very successful in the past and is modified based on feedback from previous meetings. * One of the major aims of this conference is to foster inter-institutional collaborations. The application provides evidence of previous and current collaborations resulting from the conference, citing published studies and current projects. * Surveys identified a need to provide child care for younger children to increase participation by women. This unmet need is included in the proposed budget. Weaknesses: * The participants are from defined institutions in the Rocky Mountain area. 5. Environment: Strengths: * The meeting site appears to be an excellent venue. Its remoteness is conducive to interpersonal interaction and innovative thinking. Weaknesses: * No weaknesses are noted. Appropriate Representation: Strengths: * The appropriate representation is acceptable. Weaknesses: * No weaknesses are noted.

描述：会议议程的标题是落基山病毒学会议。 总体影响：该会议已举办 11 年，汇聚了来自落基山脉地区机构的病毒学家。这个场地很有吸引力，尤其是对年轻人来说。组织者考虑了会议计划和组织的许多方面，以优化对与会者的影响。它们提供了先前会议所产生的富有成效的合作的具体证据。由于这次会议极具区域性，几乎类似于扩大的实验室会议，因此其重要性被削弱了。没有真正的广告或从其他地方招募参与者。 一、意义： 优势： * 讨论的话题和病原体是及时且重要的。 * 通过在该地区开展更多合作，该领域的进展将得到加强。 * 该地区的研究人员，特别是年轻的研究人员和学生之间的交叉交流，应该促进针对发病机制和治疗中的常见问题采取更有前景的方法。 弱点： * 这是一次非常区域性的会议，这削弱了其重要性。 2. 调查人员： 优势： * PI 是一名初级研究员，具有领导本次会议所需的科学背景、经验和活力。 * 组委会具有广泛代表性、经验丰富。 弱点： * 没有发现任何弱点。 3、创新： 优势： * 场地可以被认为是创新的。 * 会议结构为学生和博士后演讲提供了充足的机会。 * 对初级研究者的奖励增加了机构内和机构间竞争的动力。 弱点： * 没有“局外人”来刺激间接讨论。 4. 方法： 优势： * 该格式过去非常成功，并根据之前会议的反馈进行了修改。 * 本次会议的主要目标之一是促进机构间合作。该应用程序引用了已发表的研究和当前的项目，提供了会议之前和当前合作的证据。 * 调查表明，需要为年幼的儿童提供托儿服务，以增加妇女的参与度。这一未满足的需求已包含在拟议预算中。 弱点： * 参与者来自落基山脉地区的指定机构。 5、环境： 优势： * 会议地点似乎是一个绝佳的场所。地处偏远，有利于人际互动和创新思维。 弱点： * 没有发现任何弱点。 适当的表示： 优势： * 适当的表述是可以接受的。 弱点： * 没有发现任何弱点。
