Recent Advances in AIDS and HIV Research

项目概要/摘要 自 1998 年以来，NIH 资助的艾滋病研究中心 (CFAR) 每年举办一次为期一天的全国艾滋病研究 CFAR 科学研讨会与年度 CFAR 董事/管理员会议同时举行。的 CFAR 科学研讨会的目的是在公共论坛上展示近期“前沿”进展 HIV/艾滋病研究的平均参加人数约为 250-300 人。会议规模私密 促进年轻研究人员和高级研究人员之间的互动机会，而这是不可能的 可在与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关的大型年度科学会议上获取。过去五年的一个关键创新是 为参加初级研究人员增加了一个同行指导研讨会。会议地点会轮换 每年由不同的 CFAR 网站主办。这为场地提供了地理多样性， 与类似的研究研讨会相比，为更广泛的参与者提供了机会。和过去一样，每个 主办CFAR站点可以灵活地设计会议的科学议程，以满足当前的要求 CFAR 科学界的兴趣和需求。只要有可能，主题将反映与以下相关的问题 OAR 艾滋病毒/艾滋病优先事项。 演讲者选自 NIH 资助的各个艾滋病研究中心的领导层、他们的科学 会员资格，以及来自国内和国际认可的研究机构。除了 参与 CFAR 的董事和受邀领域的领导者，年度全国会议的其余参与者 CFAR 研讨会是根据特定标准选择的。优先考虑年轻研究者 已获得 NIH 资助的 CFAR 计划的发展资金；对年轻人的第二偏好 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调查员 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 通过有针对性的广告和旅行奖学金鼓励参加。 NIH R13 会议支持 本次研讨会将专门资助来自各个国家的不同早期研究人员的参与 科学研讨会在全国范围内进行了CFAR，特别强调了来自以下国家的女性和个人 代表性不足的族裔群体。托管 CFAR 和网络广播提供儿童保育服务 无法参加的感兴趣的研究人员可以参加研讨会。

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.
