 DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): A central goal of NIH/NIAID is to promote progress in microbial pathogenesis and infectious disease research. Three important means to foster this goal are to (1) enhance interactions between scientists from multiple disciplines and fields, including investigators of basic processes and those developing new therapies for disease; (2) promote state-of-the-art knowledge of the fundamental biology of microbes and their interactions with human cells and whole organisms, knowledge that forms the basis of future therapeutic strategies; and (3) nurture the development of young scientists. The field of infectious disease traditionally has segregated bacteriologists, virologists, mycologists, parasitologists and immunologists, in spite of the many common and interrelated aspects of these disciplines. In addition, artificial boundaries between academic vs. pharmaceutical investigator and young vs. established scientist have hindered the development of new medicines to fight infectious disease and young scientists to push the boundaries of infectious disease research, respectively. To promote a more integrated field of microbial pathogenesis and infectious disease, and to fully welcome and mentor young scientists in this field, the Eleventh FASEB Summer Research Conference on "Microbial Pathogenesis: Mechanisms of Infectious Disease," held on July 12-17, 2015, is specifically designed to the fulfill following aims: Aim 1. Recruit outstanding scientists who study viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, human immune defenses and the development of new infectious disease medicines to share their diverse experiences and expertise on the mechanisms of infectious disease. Aim 2. Broaden and deepen our understanding of fundamental aspects of infection and health by providing a forum for thought leaders in diverse subfields of infectious disease to share their state-of-the- at strategies to characterize critical features of infection that contributing to health and disease. Aim 3. Support and mentor the next generation of colleagues in the field of microbial pathogenesis and infectious disease by fostering a highly interactive and supportive scientific community within an intimate meeting forum. The structure of the program is geared toward providing young scientists, including underrepresented minorities and women scientists, a setting in which to gain exposure to, get advice from, and be mentored by senior scientists.

 描述（由申请人提供）：NIH/NIAID的中心目标是促进微生物发病机制和传染病研究的进展。促进这一目标的三个重要手段是：（1）加强来自多学科和多领域的科学家之间的互动，包括研究基本过程的科学家和开发疾病新疗法的科学家;（2）促进关于微生物基本生物学及其与人类细胞和整个生物体相互作用的最新知识，这些知识构成未来治疗战略的基础;（3）培养青年科学家。传染病领域传统上将细菌学家、病毒学家、真菌学家、寄生虫学家和免疫学家隔离开来，尽管这些学科有许多共同和相互关联的方面。此外，学术研究者与药物研究者、年轻科学家与成熟科学家之间的人为界限，分别阻碍了对抗传染病的新药的开发和年轻科学家推动传染病研究的界限。为了促进微生物发病机制和传染病的更综合的领域，并充分欢迎和指导这一领域的年轻科学家，第十一届FASEB夏季研究会议“微生物发病机制：传染病的机制”，于2015年7月12日至17日举行，是专门为实现以下目标而设计的：目标1。招募研究病毒，细菌，真菌，寄生虫，人类免疫防御和新传染病药物开发的杰出科学家，分享他们在传染病机制方面的丰富经验和专业知识。目标2.通过为传染病不同子领域的思想领袖提供一个论坛，分享他们的最新战略，以描述影响健康和疾病的感染的关键特征，从而扩大和加深我们对感染和健康的基本方面的理解。目标3.通过在亲密的会议论坛中培养高度互动和支持的科学社区，支持和指导微生物发病机制和传染病领域的下一代同事。该计划的结构是面向提供年轻科学家，包括代表性不足的少数民族和女科学家，在其中获得曝光，获得建议，并由资深科学家指导的设置。
