Recent Advances in AIDS and HIV Research

项目概要/摘要 自1998年以来，美国国立卫生研究院资助的艾滋病研究中心（CFAR）每年举办一次为期一天的国家艾滋病研究中心会议。 CFAR科学专题讨论会与CFAR主任/行政人员年度会议同时举行。的 CFAR科学研讨会的目的是在一个公共论坛上介绍最近的“前沿”进展， 艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究，平均参加人数约为250-300人。会议的私密规模 促进年轻和更资深的调查人员之间的互动机会， 在与艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的大型年度科学会议上提供。过去五年的一项关键创新是 为参加培训的初级调查员增加了一个同侪指导讲习班。会议地点轮换， 它每年都由不同的CFAR网站托管。这为场地提供了地理多样性， 与类似的研究座谈会相比，它为更广泛的参与者提供了机会。与以往一样，每 主办CFAR网站可以灵活地设计会议的科学议程，以满足当前的需求。 CFAR科学界的兴趣和需求。在可能的情况下，主题将反映与以下方面有关的问题： 艾滋病毒/艾滋病优先事项。 演讲者是从各个NIH资助的艾滋病研究中心的领导层中挑选出来的，他们的科学 成员，并从国家和国际公认的研究机构。除了有 参与CFAR的主任和该领域的受邀领导人、年度全国会议的其余参与者 CFAR专题讨论会是根据具体标准选择的。首先优先考虑年轻的调查人员， 从NIH资助的CFAR项目获得发展资金;第二优先于年轻人 在艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究方面具有明显潜力的研究人员;第三优先是其他高级研究人员 从事艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究。在所有情况下，妇女和来自代表性不足的族裔群体的个人都被 通过有针对性的广告和旅游奖学金鼓励参加。NIH R13会议支持 这次研讨会将专门资助来自每个国家的各种早期研究人员的参与， 在科学研讨会上，全国各地的CFAR，特别强调妇女和个人， 代表性不足的族裔群体。儿童保育服务是通过主办《儿童权利公约》和网播《儿童权利公约》提供的。 为不能出席的感兴趣的调查人员举办了专题讨论会。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Since 1998, the NIH-funded Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR) have hosted an annual one day National CFAR Scientific Symposium in conjunction with the annual CFAR Directors’/Administrators’ meeting. The purpose of the CFAR scientific symposium is to present, in a public forum, recent “cutting edge” advances in HIV/AIDS research for an average attendance of approximately 250-300. The intimate size of the meeting promotes opportunities for interactions between young and more senior investigators that would not be available at the larger annual scientific meetings related to HIV/AIDS. A key innovation in the last five years is the addition of a peer mentoring workshop for attending junior investigators. The meeting location rotates so that it is hosted each year by a different CFAR site. This provides geographic diversity for the venue and opportunities for a broader array of participants than for similar research symposia. As in the past, each hosting CFAR site has the flexibility to design the scientific agenda of the conference to meet the current interests and needs of the CFAR scientific community. Whenever possible, topics will reflect issues related to the OAR HIV/AIDS Priorities. Speakers are selected from the various NIH-funded Centers for AIDS Research leadership, their scientific membership, and from nationally and internationally recognized research institutions. In addition to the participating CFAR Directors and invited leaders in the field, the remaining participants for the annual National CFAR Symposia are chosen based on specific criteria. First preference is given to young investigators who have received developmental funds from an NIH-funded CFAR program; second preference to young investigators with demonstrable potential in HIV/AIDS research; third preference is to other senior investigators engaged in HIV/AIDS research. In all cases women and individuals from underrepresented ethnic groups are encouraged to attend through targeted advertising and travel scholarships. The NIH R13 meeting support of this symposium would specifically fund participation by diverse early stage investigators from each of the CFARs around the nation in the scientific symposium, with particular emphasis on women and individuals from underrepresented ethnic groups. Access to childcare is provided by the hosting CFAR and webcasts of the symposia are available for interested investigators who are not able to attend.
