Abstract Respiratory infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The measles outbreak and continued increase of antibiotic resistant bacterial infections are stark reminders of the urgent public health risks of these infections. The purpose of this proposal is to provide funds to support travel support for invited speakers and young scientists to present and attend the 2020 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) Biology of Acute Respiratory Infection, which will be held in Galveston, Texas February 16-21, 2020. This conference will bring together groups of scientists, from basic to applied, public health officials and clinicians that normally do not attend the same meetings to highlight new findings and concepts in respiratory tract infections including, disease in vulnerable populations, intrinsic, innate and adaptive immune responses, infection-mediated exacerbations in individuals with lung diseases, the future for respiratory vaccines and exciting new models and tools. It will be especially important to encourage a new generation of young scientists to not only study respiratory infections, but to build networks allowing them to take a “wholistic” approach to research. Although there are a few meetings dedicated to specific respiratory microbes or systems, this is the only meeting focused on bringing a diverse community together and encouraging young investigator participation making it unique.

摘要 呼吸道感染是全世界发病率和死亡率的主要原因。麻疹爆发， 抗生素耐药性细菌感染的持续增加是对紧迫的公共卫生的严峻提醒 这些感染的风险。本提案的目的是提供资金，以支持应邀参加会议的 演讲者和年轻科学家出席2020年戈登研究会议（GRC）生物学 急性呼吸道感染，将于2020年2月16日至21日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿举行。这 会议将汇集从基础到应用的科学家、公共卫生官员和临床医生 通常不参加相同的会议，以强调呼吸道的新发现和概念 感染，包括弱势群体的疾病，内在、先天和适应性免疫反应， 感染介导的肺部疾病加重，呼吸道疫苗的未来， 令人兴奋的新模型和工具。特别重要的是鼓励新一代的年轻人 科学家不仅要研究呼吸道感染，还要建立网络，使他们能够采取“整体” 研究方法。尽管有一些会议专门讨论特定的呼吸道微生物或 这是唯一一次专注于将多元化社区聚集在一起并鼓励年轻人的会议。 调查员的参与使其独一无二。
