This proposal requests funds to support the annual Autumn Immunology Conference (AIC). The AIC was established in 1972 to promote Immunology research in the upper Midwest region of the United States. The conference provides a forum for the exchange of scientific data and ideas, fosters collaborations between scientists at different institutions, and provides career development and education opportunities to a diverse group of individuals with an interest in Immunology. The scientific focus of the meeting is intentionally broad; it includes basic Immunology and related biomedical fields such as cancer biology, pathogenesis, vaccine development, inflammation, and autoimmunity. Special emphasis is given to providing pre- and post-doctoral trainees with an opportunity to share their data, participate in scientific and career discussions, and to meet and exchange ideas with established investigators. We also seek to attract, involve, and promote the careers of women and racial/ethnic minorities that are underrepresented in science. These objectives are met by inviting a group of outstanding Immunology researchers (12-13 each year) from around the world, to speak at the meeting. All presenters present both an oral and poster presentation and are designed to provide the greatest opportunity for feedback to the trainees. Finally, scholarship programs, career development workshops, and mentoring luncheons promote the inclusion of minority scientists and seek to recruit undergraduates into the discipline of Immunology.

该提案要求资金支持年度秋季免疫学会议（AIC）。AIC成立于1972年，旨在促进美国上中西部地区的免疫研究。该会议为科学数据和思想的交流提供了一个论坛，促进了不同机构科学家之间的合作，并为对免疫学感兴趣的不同群体提供了职业发展和教育机会。 会议的科学重点是广泛的;它包括基础免疫学和相关的生物医学领域，如癌症生物学，发病机制，疫苗开发，炎症和自身免疫。特别强调为博士前和博士后学员提供机会，分享他们的数据，参加科学和职业讨论，并与既定的研究人员会面和交流思想。我们还寻求吸引，参与和促进妇女和种族/少数民族的职业生涯是在科学中代表性不足。 这些目标是通过邀请来自世界各地的一组杰出的免疫学研究人员（每年12-13人）在会议上发言来实现的。所有演讲者都将进行口头和海报演讲，旨在为学员提供最大的反馈机会。最后，奖学金计划，职业发展研讨会和指导午餐会促进少数民族科学家的包容性，并寻求招募本科生进入免疫学学科。
