Description (as provided by the applicant): Since 1998, the NIH-funded Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR) have hosted an annual one day National CFAR Scientific Symposium in conjunction with the annual CFAR Directors'/Administrators' meeting. The purpose of the CFAR scientific symposium is to present, in a public forum, recent "cutting edge" advances in HIV/AIDS research for an average attendance of approximately 250-300. The intimate size of the meeting promotes opportunities for interactions between young and more senior investigators that would not be available at the larger annual scientific meetings related to HIV/AIDS. The meeting location rotates so that it is hosted each year by a different CFAR site. This provides geographic diversity for the venue and opportunities for a broader array of participants than for similar research symposia. As has been done for the past fifteen years, one of several AIDS-related research areas is the focus of the annual symposium. In 2011, the Duke University CFAR hosted the 15th Annual CFAR Research Symposium with focus on five scientific areas: "Host-Viral Interactions during HIV Infection", "HIV-Associated Malignancies and Co-Infections", "Emerging Vaccine Strategies", "HIV/AIDS Health Disparities", and "Approaches to an HIV Cure". Speakers were selected from the various NIH-funded Centers for AIDS Research leadership, their scientific membership, and from nationally and internationally recognized research institutions. In addition to the participating CFAR Directors and invited leaders in the field, the remaining participants for the annual National CFAR Symposia are chosen based on specific criteria. First preference is given to young investigators who have received developmental funds from an NIH-funded CFAR program; second preference to young investigators with demonstrable potential in HIV/AIDS research; third preference is to other senior investigators engaged in HIV/AIDS research. In all cases women and individuals from underrepresented ethnic groups are encouraged to attend through targeted advertising and travel scholarships. Continuing Medical Education credits have been offered for attendees and access to web casts of the symposia are now available for interested investigators who are not able to attend. Public Health Relevance: The purpose of the Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR) Symposium is to provide a venue to present and discuss recent advances in HIV/AIDS research. This is a unique forum for presentations of the most "cutting edge" research based on one of several AIDS-related topics. The symposium provides an environment that fosters interactions between senior HIV investigators and junior investigators that will one day be leaders in the field.

描述（如申请人所提供）：自1998年以来，NIH资助的艾滋病研究中心（CFAR）每年举办一次为期一天的国家CFAR科学研讨会，同时举办年度CFAR主任/管理员会议。基金会科学专题讨论会的目的是在一个公共论坛上介绍艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的最新“尖端”进展，平均出席人数约为250-300人。会议规模小，便于年轻调查人员与更资深的调查人员进行互动，这在与艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的大型年度科学会议上是没有的。会议地点轮换，每年由不同的CFAR网站主办。这为地点提供了地理多样性，并为比类似研究专题讨论会更广泛的参与者提供了机会。正如过去15年所做的那样，与艾滋病有关的几个研究领域之一是年度研讨会的重点。2011年，杜克大学CFAR主办了第15届年度CFAR研究研讨会，重点关注五个科学领域：“艾滋病毒感染期间的宿主-病毒相互作用”，“艾滋病毒相关的恶性肿瘤和合并感染”，“新兴疫苗战略”，“艾滋病毒/艾滋病健康差异”和“艾滋病毒治疗方法”。演讲者从NIH资助的艾滋病研究中心的领导层、科学成员以及国内和国际公认的研究机构中选出。除了参与CFAR主任和该领域的受邀领导人之外，年度国家CFAR研讨会的其余参与者是根据特定标准选择的。第一优先考虑的是从NIH资助的CFAR项目获得发展资金的年轻研究人员;第二优先考虑的是在艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究中具有明显潜力的年轻研究人员;第三优先考虑的是从事艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的其他高级研究人员。在所有情况下，通过有针对性的广告和旅行奖学金，鼓励妇女和代表性不足的族裔群体的个人参加。继续医学教育学分已提供给与会者和访问研讨会的网络广播现在可供感兴趣的研究人员谁是不能参加。 公共卫生相关性：艾滋病研究中心（CFAR）研讨会的目的是提供一个场所，介绍和讨论艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的最新进展。这是一个独特的论坛，介绍基于艾滋病相关主题之一的最“前沿”研究。研讨会提供了一个环境，促进高级艾滋病毒调查人员和初级调查人员之间的互动，有一天将成为该领域的领导者。
