DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Advances in Pediatric Food Allergy conference was started in 2010 with the goal of addressing the needs of practicing pediatricians and allergists to improve the diagnosis and management of food allergies, a condition whose prevalence has been increasing in recent years and remains a public health concern. The conference addresses 1) the different types of food allergies (IgE-mediated and non-IgE mediated food allergies, eosinophilic gastroenteropathies), 2) diagnostic tests to confirm food allergies, 3) identification and treatment of food-induced anaphylaxis, 4) nutritional and social concerns related to avoidance of food allergens, and 5) potential treatments currently under investigation for food allergies. The format of the conference includes didactic lectures, break-out interactive workshops, and discussions of challenging cases to provide a unique, interactive course that elucidates the scientific advances that support current clinical practice guidelines for food allergy. The faculty includes internationally recognized leaders in the field of food allergy (Hugh A. Sampson, MD and Scott H. Sicherer, MD). This is the only one-day conference offering an in- depth educational program in the diagnosis and management of food allergy in the US. Approximately 150 health professionals from across the country (including Texas, California, Wisconsin) have attended each of the past 3 conferences. Post-meeting evaluations have been very favorable, with attendees reporting improved knowledge and ability to recognize the various presentations of food allergies, to identify indications for diagnostic testing and interpretation of test results, to perform oral food challenges, to educate food allergc patients regarding preparedness to treat allergic reactions, and to address nutritional and psychosocial concerns related to food allergies. The next meeting will be planned for November 22, 2014 at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Funding support through this grant would allow the continuation and expansion of this program, with a special emphasis on providing more trainees with an opportunity to attend through travel grants as most of the trainees who attended in past years have been local. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that Non-Hispanic blacks have the highest rates of food allergies so we also hope to stimulate interest in racial/ethnic minorities that are under-represented as well as physicians working in underserved populations. As food allergies continue to be an important public health concern, continued training of health care professionals in the accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of food allergies is of paramount importance and is aligned with the mission of the NIAID.

描述（由申请人提供）：儿科食物过敏进展会议始于2010年，其目标是解决执业儿科医生和过敏症专家的需求，以改善食物过敏的诊断和管理，近年来这种疾病的患病率一直在增加，仍然是一个公共卫生问题。 会议讨论了1）不同类型的食物过敏（IgE介导和非IgE介导的食物过敏，嗜酸性胃肠病），2）确认食物过敏的诊断测试，3）食物引起的过敏反应的识别和治疗，4）与避免食物过敏原相关的营养和社会问题，以及5）目前正在调查的食物过敏的潜在治疗方法。 会议的形式包括教学讲座，突破互动研讨会和具有挑战性的案例讨论，以提供一个独特的，互动的课程，阐明支持当前食物过敏临床实践指南的科学进展。 教师包括国际公认的领导人在该领域的食物过敏（休A。Sampson，MD和Scott H. Sicherer，MD）。 这是唯一一个为期一天的会议，提供了一个深入的教育计划，在诊断和管理的食物过敏在美国。 来自全国各地（包括得克萨斯州、加州、威斯康星州）的大约150名卫生专业人员参加了过去3次会议。 会后评估是非常有利的，与会者报告提高了认识和能力，认识到食物过敏的各种表现，以确定诊断测试和测试结果的解释，执行口服食物挑战，教育食物过敏患者准备治疗过敏反应，并解决与食物过敏有关的营养和心理问题。 下一次会议将于2014年11月22日在西奈山伊坎医学院举行。 通过这笔赠款提供的资金支持将使该方案得以继续和扩大，特别强调通过旅费赠款为更多的受训人员提供参加的机会，因为过去几年参加的大多数受训人员都是当地人。 此外，最近的研究表明，非西班牙裔黑人的食物过敏率最高，因此我们也希望激发对代表性不足的种族/少数民族以及在服务不足的人群中工作的医生的兴趣。 由于食物过敏仍然是一个重要的公共卫生问题，继续培训卫生保健专业人员准确诊断和适当管理食物过敏是至关重要的，并符合NIAID的使命。
