DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this proposal is to request support for "The Tenth Annual Midwest Microbial Pathogenesis Conference." The conference has as its major emphasis the annual presentation of current microbial pathogenesis research from the academic institutions within the Midwestern portion of the United States. The conference has provided an excellent venue for interactions by faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Representatives from colleges and universities from Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Indiana and Ohio regularly attend this conference. The conference attracts between 200 to 250 attendees, over 70% of who are graduate students or postdoctoral fellows. The first conference in the series was held in 1994 in Iowa City, Iowa and conferences have been held every year since then, alternating venues at different institutions across the Midwest. In the past three years, it was held in Columbus, Ohio, Champaign-Urbana, Illinois and Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2003, it will be held in Iowa City, Iowa and in 2004 in East Lansing, Michigan. The conferences in the past have allowed for the establishment of close interactions among scientists and students from different institutions with different scientific backgrounds for an exchange of ideas, expertise, and new technologies. Such interdisciplinary collaborations have fostered open dialogues and it is expected that the Tenth Annual Midwest Microbial Pathogenesis Conference will continue in this tradition.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是请求支持“第十届中西部微生物发病机制年会”。“会议的主要重点是美国中西部学术机构对当前微生物致病机理研究的年度报告。会议为教师、研究生和博士后研究员的互动提供了一个很好的场所。来自伊利诺伊州、密歇根州、肯塔基州、爱荷华州、威斯康星州、明尼苏达州、密苏里州、印第安纳州和俄亥俄州的学院和大学的代表定期参加这次会议。会议吸引了200至250名与会者，其中70%以上是研究生或博士后研究员。该系列的第一次会议于1994年在爱荷华州的爱荷华州市举行，此后每年都举行会议，在中西部的不同机构交替举行。在过去的三年里，它在俄亥俄州的哥伦布、伊利诺伊州的香槟-厄巴纳和印第安纳州的印第安纳波利斯举行。2003年将在爱荷华州的爱荷华州市举行，2004年在密歇根州的东兰辛举行。过去的会议使来自不同科学背景的不同机构的科学家和学生之间建立了密切的互动，以交流思想，专业知识和新技术。这种跨学科的合作促进了公开对话，预计第十届年度中西部微生物发病机制会议将继续这一传统。
