DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Society for Leukocyte Biology (SLB) is the leading scientific society with a focus on facilitating research on leukocytes and their roles in te patho-physiology of both acute and chronic diseases ranging from infection, cardiovascular inflammation, cancer, to neurological diseases. Historically, the SLB annual meetings draw multi-disciplinary attendees from academia, industry, and health care organizations. The program consists of invited plenary, keynote and symposium speakers, as well as speakers selected from submitted abstracts, plus poster sessions and special programs. Commercial exhibitors including manufacturers and distributors of research and clinical reagents and scientific publishers also attend the conference. To attest to the scientific excellence of SLB and SLB annual meetings, past attendees of SLB annual meetings and current SLB members include Nobel Laureates, Academy members, and world leaders in basic and translational leukocyte biology. The 2013 meeting will continue this tradition of excellence by bringing together scientific researchers of all levels in an environment geared to maximize interactions for the exchange of ideas, foster research collaborations, with the continued goal of accelerating progress in basic and translational research. The central theme of the 2013 annual meeting highlights the more prescient topics concerning innate leukocyte phenotypic/functional plasticity and their key modulatory roles in both acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. To best facilitate scientific exchange and training of junior scientists in this important area, this propoal requests NIH support for the 2013 SLB annual scientific conference entitled "Regulators of Innate Cell Plasticity" to allow greater access for participants via travel awards and shared costs. Specific Aim 1. To provide a cohesive, collegial and timely forum for presentation and discussion of emerging concepts in the regulation of innate cell plasticity, it's patho-physiologicl significance and translational application. These will include (1) most updated understandings of novel innate leukocyte subsets, (2) pressing paradigms of innate cell memory, plasticity and conversion/reprogramming, (3) integrated cross-talk among innate cells with endothelial/epithelial cells, (4) novel approaches in defining innate cell microbial interactions, and (5) the translational relevance of innate cell plasticity to the pathogenesis of conditions tha include infection, cancer, cardiovascular disease and aging. The program will feature invited presentations from leaders in the field, as well as oral and/or poster presentations by junior investigators/ trainees selected from among the abstracts submitted by laboratories worldwide. The meeting will target approximately 350-400 participants from academic, governmental, clinical and industrial laboratories. Specific Aim 2. To provide an opportunity for young investigators and trainees to interact closely with top echelon, well-established researchers in their fields, and to present their research findings in both poster and podium/oral sessions. A dedicated career development workshop as well as training session on grant writing and publication will be held to foster the training and development of aspiring students and junior investigators. Travel awards will be administered to selected participants based on scientific merits. The smaller number of participants and ample time for the poster sessions at this meeting creates a collegial learning environment for junior investigators to engage in rigorous discussion with the leading scientists in the area of leukocyte biology. Specific Aim 3. To foster the participation of women, minority, and disabled scientists in the important biomedical field of leukocyte biology. A specific forum focusing on obstacles facing women and minority scientists will be held. Networking and professional career development workshops will be organized to address obstacles and opportunities for career development.

描述（由申请人提供）：白细胞生物学学会（SLB）是领先的科学学会，重点是促进对白细胞的研究及其在急性和慢性疾病的TE病情和慢性疾病中的作用，从心血管炎症，癌症，癌症到神经疾病。从历史上看，SLB年度会议吸引了学术界，行业和医疗保健组织的多学科参与者。该计划包括受邀全体会议，主题演讲者和专题讨论会的人，以及从提交的摘要中选出的演讲者，以及海报会议和特殊计划。商业参展商在内，包括研究和临床试剂的制造商和分销商以及科学出版商也参加了会议。证明SLB和 SLB年度会议，SLB年度会议的过去与众员和现任SLB成员包括诺贝尔奖获得者，学院成员以及基本和转化白细胞生物学的世界领导者。 2013年的会议将通过将各个层次的科学研究人员汇集在一起​​，以在一个旨在最大程度地提高思想交流，促进研究合作的环境中，继续加速基础研究和转化研究进展的持续目标。 2013年会议的中心主题突出了有关先天白细胞表型/功能可塑性及其在急性和慢性炎症条件下的关键调节作用的更有先见之明的主题。为了最好地促进这一重要领域的初级科学家的科学交流和培训，该提议要求NIH支持2013年SLB年度科学会议，题为“先天细胞可塑性的调节者”，以通过旅行奖励和共同成本为参与者提供更多的访问权限。具体目的1。为了提供一个有凝聚力的，合作和及时的论坛，以介绍和讨论先天细胞可塑性调节的新兴概念，这是病情 - 生理学的意义和翻译应用。这些将包括（1）对新型先天白细胞子集的最新理解，（2）施加先天细胞记忆的范式，可塑性和转换/重编程，（3）与天生/上皮细胞的先天细胞之间的综合串扰，（4）在定义了天生的小组相关性的新颖方法中，（4）定义了先天性的塑性，以及（5）塑料的塑性性，以及（5），（5）塑料的塑性性，以及（5），（5）塑性型的塑性性，以及（5）的塑性性。癌症，心血管疾病和衰老。该计划将由该领域领导者的邀请演讲，以及从全球实验室提交的摘要中选出的初级调查人员/学员的口头和/或海报演讲。该会议将针对来自学术，政府，临床和工业实验室的大约350-400名参与者。具体目标2。为年轻的调查人员和学员提供机会与顶级梯队，领域中良好的研究人员紧密互动，并在海报和讲台/口腔会议上介绍他们的研究结果。将举行专门的职业发展研讨会以及赠款写作和出版的培训课程，以培养有抱负的学生和初级调查人员的培训和发展。旅行奖将根据科学优点向选定的参与者管理。这次会议上海报会议的参与者数量少，为初级调查人员提供了一个大学学习环境，以与白细胞生物学领域的主要科学家进行严格的讨论。特定目的3。促进妇女，少数群体和残疾科学家的参与，在白细胞生物学的重要生物医学领域。将举行一个针对妇女和少数族裔科学家面临的障碍的特定论坛。将组织网络和职业发展研讨会研讨会，以解决职业发展的障碍和机会。
