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：会议计划的标题是落基山病毒学会议。 总体影响：这个会议已经举行了11年，汇集了来自落基山脉地区机构的病毒学家。这个地方很吸引人，尤其是对年轻人。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。它们提供了具体的证据，证明以前的会议产生了富有成效的合作。会议的重要性被这样一个事实所削弱，即会议是非常区域性的，几乎就像一个扩大的实验室会议。没有真实的广告或从其他地方招募参与者。 1.重要性： 优势： * 要讨论的主题和病原体是及时和重要的。 * 将通过在该区域内开展更多的合作来加强这一领域的进展。 * 该地区研究人员之间的交流，特别是年轻的研究人员和学生，应该促进更有前途的方法来解决发病机制和治疗方面的共同问题。 缺点： * 这是一次区域性很强的会议，因此降低了会议的重要性。 2.研究者： 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。 * 组委会具有广泛的代表性和丰富的经验。 缺点： * 没有发现任何弱点。 3.创新： 优势： * 会议地点可被视为具有创新性。 * 会议结构为学生和博士后演讲提供了充足的机会。 * 对初级调查人员的奖励增加了机构内和机构间竞争的激励。 缺点： * 没有“局外人”来刺激拐弯抹角的讨论。 4.方法： 优势： * 这一格式在过去非常成功，并根据以往会议的反馈意见进行了修改。 * 这次会议的主要目的之一是促进机构间合作。该应用程序提供了来自会议的先前和当前合作的证据，引用了已发表的研究和当前项目。 * 调查发现，需要为年幼儿童提供托儿服务，以增加妇女的参与。这一未满足的需求已列入拟议预算。 缺点： * 参与者来自落基山脉地区的指定机构。 5.工作环境： 优势： * 会议地点似乎是一个很好的地点。它的偏远性有利于人际交往和创新思维。 缺点： * 没有发现任何弱点。 适当的代表： 优势： * 适当的表述是可以接受的。 缺点： * 没有发现任何弱点。
