Recent Advances in AIDS and HIV Research

项目摘要/摘要 自1998年以来，NIH资助的艾滋病研究中心(CFAR)每年都会举办一次全国一天的 与一年一度的CFAR董事/管理人员会议相结合的CFAR科学研讨会。这个 CFAR科学研讨会的目的是在一个公共论坛上介绍在以下方面的最新“前沿”进展 艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究，平均出席人数约为250-300人。会议的规模之大 促进年轻和更资深调查人员之间的互动机会，这将是 在与艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的较大年度科学会议上提供。过去五年的一项关键创新是 为参加初级调查员增加了一个同伴辅导讲习班。会议地点以这样的方式旋转 每年由不同的CFAR网站主办。这为场馆提供了地理多样性， 与类似的研究研讨会相比，为更多的参与者提供了机会。和过去一样，每个人 主办CFAR现场可以灵活地设计会议的科学议程，以满足当前的 CFAR科学界的利益和需要。只要可能，主题将反映与以下内容相关的问题 OAR艾滋病毒/艾滋病优先事项。 演讲者是从NIH资助的各个艾滋病研究领导中心中挑选出来的，他们的科学 成员，以及来自国家和国际公认的研究机构。除 参会的CFAR主任和外地特邀领导人，其余与会者参加年度全国 CFAR研讨会是根据特定标准选择的。第一优先考虑的是年轻的调查人员 从NIH资助的CFAR项目中获得发展资金；第二优先于YOUNG 在艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究方面具有明显潜力的调查人员；第三优先考虑其他高级调查人员 从事艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究。在所有情况下，妇女和来自代表不足的族裔群体的个人都是 通过有针对性的广告和旅行奖学金鼓励学生参加。NIH R13会议支持 这次研讨会将特别资助来自每个国家的不同早期调查人员的参与 全国各地的CFARs在科学研讨会上，特别强调来自 未被充分代表的族群。通过托管CFAR和网络广播提供托儿服务 不能参加的感兴趣的调查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.
