DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested from NIH for partial support of the 36th Annual Meeting of the Society for Leukocyte Biology, to be held at the Doubletree Hotel in Philadelphia, PA, October 2-5, 2003. The meeting is entitled "Unraveling Inflammation," and is focused on the complex cell-cell interactions and mechanisms involved in host defense and inflammation, including the resolution of inflammation. The meeting will: (t) explore cell types involved in inflammation, (2) explore the diseases and disease models relevant to the study of inflammation, and (3) highlight recent advances in treating acute inflammation and the diseases associated with chronic inflammation. We will combine interactions of researchers from different subspecialties to create a multidisciplinary approach to effector cell host defense and inflammation, and the resolution of inflammation. The meeting features Dr. Charles Serhan as the Scientific Program Chair and Dr. Linda McPhail as Co-Chair. The confirmed speaker list includes Dr. Bengt Samuelsson and Sir John Vane, 1982 Nobel Laureates, as keynote speakers, and Drs. M. Amin Arnaout, Timothy Hla, and Garrett Fitzgerald, as plenary lecturers. We request partial support for participation at the meeting by students and junior scientists (postdoctoral and clinical fellows, junior faculty). Because of the location and program for the meeting, we anticipate attendance of approximately 300-400 people, with at least 75 students/postdoctoral fellows applying to attend. Approximately 50% of the symposia speakers will be selected from submitted abstracts. Abstracts from student and postdoctoral fellow applicants will be given special consideration for oral participation. The society also sponsors an awards competition of outstanding presentations given by postdoctoral and graduate students (Presidential Awards). In addition, the society chooses a recipient of the G. Jeanette Thorbecke award, which is intended for a deserving young female investigator working in the area of cellular and molecular mechanisms of host defense, inflammation, and leukocyte biology. We request partial support for registration and travel expenses for the winner of this competition. Overall, we hope to provide a forum for interaction of diverse groups involved in host defense and inflammation and to identify the current unmet clinical challenges and tasks ahead.

描述（由申请人提供）：为白细胞生物学学会第36届年会提供部分资金，将于2003年10月2-5日在宾夕法尼亚州费城的双树酒店举行。这次会议的主题是“揭开炎症”，重点关注宿主防御和炎症中复杂的细胞-细胞相互作用和机制，包括炎症的解决。会议将：(1)探讨参与炎症的细胞类型；(2)探讨与炎症研究相关的疾病和疾病模型；(3)重点介绍急性炎症和慢性炎症相关疾病的治疗进展。我们将结合来自不同亚专业的研究人员的相互作用，创建一个多学科的方法来效应细胞宿主防御和炎症，以及炎症的解决。会议由Charles Serhan博士担任科学计划主席，Linda McPhail博士担任联合主席。确定的演讲者名单包括1982年诺贝尔奖得主本特·萨缪尔森博士和约翰·韦恩爵士作为主题演讲者。阿明·阿诺特，蒂莫西·拉，加勒特·菲茨杰拉德，作为全体演讲嘉宾。我们要求部分支持学生和初级科学家（博士后和临床研究员，初级教师）参加会议。由于会议的地点和项目，我们预计出席人数约为300-400人，至少有75名学生/博士后申请参加。大约50%的专题讨论会发言人将从提交的摘要中选出。学生和博士后申请者的摘要将被给予口头参与的特殊考虑。该学会还赞助博士后和研究生的优秀演讲比赛（总统奖）。此外，学会还会选择G. Jeanette Thorbecke奖的获得者，该奖项旨在表彰在宿主防御、炎症和白细胞生物学的细胞和分子机制领域工作的年轻女性研究者。我们要求为本次比赛的获胜者提供部分注册和旅行费用的支持。总的来说，我们希望为参与宿主防御和炎症的不同群体提供一个互动的论坛，并确定当前未满足的临床挑战和未来的任务。
