 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This purpose of this proposal is to seek support for the 48th Annual Meeting of the Society for Leukocyte Biology (SLB), to be held at the Hilton North Raleigh, Raleigh, North Carolina, from September 27 to 29, 2015. The central theme of the 2015 meeting is "Immunity in Health and Disease." SLB is the leading scientific society with a focus on facilitating research on leukocytes and their roles in the pathophysiology of acute and chronic diseases. As far as we are aware there are no other meetings or societies that specifically hone in on this important theme of the leukocyte and immunity. The annual meetings sponsored by SLB fill this void. The long term goal of the SLB and its annual meetings is to attract multi-disciplinary attendees from academia, industry, and health care organizations so as to maximize the exchange of ideas and foster research collaborations, with the over arching goal of accelerating progress in multi- and inter-disciplinary basic and translational research. The overall objectives of the 48th Annual SLB meeting are three-fold. Firstly, to provide an outstanding scientific program consisting of notable plenary, keynote and symposium speakers who have prominent national and international recognition. Secondly, to provide opportunities for promising new investigators to present their work during platform and poster sessions. Thirdly, the meeting strives to be inclusive by incorporating special thematic sessions focused on women and diversity, career development and networking for junior investigators and trainees. The 2015 meeting will continue this tradition of excellence by bringing together scientific researchers of all levels in an environment created to facilitate excellence in science, networking and career advancement. We will achieve these objectives through the following specific aims. Aim 1: To provide an innovative and scientifically progressive program in a collegial forum to address the latest developments relating to the leukocyte in "Immunity in Health and Disease". The program committee has worked diligently to create a program that balances 5 plenary sessions, 8 concurrent mini-symposia, 2 poster sessions, and numerous networking sessions. The 5 Plenary sessions will include a) Autophagy, b) Epigenetics, c) Microbiome, d) Neuro-immune Interactions, and e) Metabolic Control of Immunity. With the support of the NIH we hope to support 6 of the 23 invited speakers. Specific Aim 2: To provide an opportunity for new investigators and student trainees to interact closely with established scientists, at the various networking, poster and oral sessions. With the support of the NIH, we hope to be able to fund 18 travel awards to the most meritorious junior and trainee applicants. The rationale for providing travel awards is that trainees will be encouraged to attend this meeting to exchange ideas with their peers and leaders in the field of leukocyte biology. Specific Aim 3: To foster the participation of women, minority, and disadvantaged scientists. Programming will include a Women and Diversity Workshop, networking and professional career development workshops that focus on individual development plans, grant writing, and publication skills.

 描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是寻求对第48届白细胞生物学学会（SLB）年会的支持，该年会将于2015年9月27日至29日在北卡罗来纳州罗利市罗利的希尔顿北罗利举行。2015年会议的中心主题是“健康和疾病中的免疫力”。“SLB是领先的科学学会，专注于促进白细胞及其在急性和慢性疾病病理生理学中的作用的研究。据我们所知，没有其他会议或协会专门探讨白细胞和免疫力这一重要主题。SLB主办的年会填补了这一空白。SLB及其年会的长期目标是吸引来自学术界，工业界和医疗保健组织的多学科与会者，以最大限度地交流思想并促进研究合作，其首要目标是加速多学科和跨学科的进展基础和转化研究。第48届SLB年会的总体目标有三个方面。首先，提供一个杰出的科学计划，包括著名的全体会议，主题演讲和研讨会发言人谁具有突出的国家和国际认可。第二，为有前途的新调查员提供机会，在平台和海报会议上介绍他们的工作。第三，会议力求做到包容各方，包括举行特别专题会议，重点讨论妇女与多样性、职业发展以及初级调查员和受训人员的网络问题。2015年会议将继续这一卓越传统，将各级科学研究人员聚集在一个为促进科学卓越而创造的环境中， 网络和职业发展。我们将通过以下具体目标实现这些目标。目标1：提供一个创新和科学进步的计划，在一个合议论坛，以解决有关白细胞的最新发展，在“免疫健康和疾病”。该计划委员会一直在努力创建一个计划，平衡5个全体会议，8个并行的小型研讨会，2个海报会议和许多网络会议。5个全体会议将包括a）自噬，B）表观遗传学，c）微生物组，d）神经免疫相互作用，和e）免疫的代谢控制。在NIH的支持下，我们希望支持23位受邀演讲者中的6位。具体目标二：为新的研究人员和学生学员提供一个机会，在各种网络，海报和口头会议上与知名科学家密切互动。在NIH的支持下，我们希望能够为最有价值的初级和实习生申请者提供18个旅行奖励。提供旅费奖励的理由是，将鼓励受训人员参加这次会议，与白细胞生物学领域的同行和领导人交流意见。具体目标3：促进妇女、少数民族和处境不利的科学家的参与。方案将包括妇女和多样性讲习班，网络和专业职业发展讲习班，重点是个人发展计划，赠款写作和出版技能。
