DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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. The La Jolla Immunology Conference is a long-running dynamic small Immunology meeting that provides high-level training for young and experienced Immunologists to integrate the cellular and molecular underpinnings of basic immunology. This meeting provides a critical local forum for the exchange current research with substantial emphasis on understanding the regulation of adaptive immunity. This highly attended forum promotes a strong sense of local community and very effectively nucleates productive collaborative efforts in Immunology. The content and focus of this meeting drive efforts to improve vaccine design, treatments of autoimmunity, tumor therapies and the management of transplant rejection and hence can be considered highly relevant to the public health initiatives of the NIAID.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该提案请求为未来五年每年一度的拉霍亚免疫学会议提供部分支持。 2008 年会议将是第 34 届年度会议，该会议汇聚了来自圣地亚哥的基础免疫学家，并包括洛杉矶地区的成员（过去 5 年）。这次精彩的小型会议定于 2008 年 10 月 21 日至 23 日在拉霍亚的索尔克研究所举行。这是一次历史悠久的会议，为免疫学专业的学生、博士后和初级教师提供了高水平的培训平台。该会议强调本地团体，每年吸引 200-300 名与会者。参与者和演讲者主要来自圣地亚哥地区，最近也包括来自大洛杉矶地区的团体。每年都会邀请两位主旨发言人主持会议开幕并定下讨论基调，然后在会议结束时帮助提供对会议进程的看法。会议内容重点关注该领域正在进行的最令人兴奋的免疫学研究，每年的计划旨在展示当前的新兴趋势并强调未来的方向。会议为期 2.5 天，邀请了 16 名来自教职人员的演讲者（至少 6 名新研究者）和从会议前夏季提交的摘要中选出的 16 名演讲者。另外 60-80 份摘要以海报形式呈现。这次会议的目的是 1) 最大限度地提高免疫学领域年轻科学家的培训经验 2) 在圣地亚哥和大洛杉矶地区培养强大的社区精神，该地区拥有许多专注于基础免疫学的优秀实验室。 3）鼓励不同学术机构的团体内的个人之间进行新的合作。 4）阐述利用当地环境中科学研究的广泛广度和深度的更大规模的多焦点（也许是多学科）科学举措的潜力。拉霍亚免疫学会议是一个长期举办的动态小型免疫学会议，为年轻且经验丰富的免疫学家提供高水平培训，以整合基础免疫学的细胞和分子基础。这次会议为交流当前研究提供了一个重要的本地论坛，重点是了解适应性免疫的调节。这个出席率很高的论坛促进了当地社区的强烈意识，并非常有效地凝聚了免疫学领域富有成效的合作努力。这次会议的内容和重点推动了改进疫苗设计、自身免疫治疗、肿瘤治疗和移植排斥管理的努力，因此可以被认为与 NIAID 的公共卫生举措高度相关。
