ACR Basic Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是一个有竞争力的更新，以继续ACR基础研究会议2005-2008年。基础研究会议是在ACR研究委员会的指导下组织的，包括一天半的科学会议，重点讨论与风湿性疾病相关的主要主题的基础科学方面。它紧接着ACR年会。基础研究会议的目的是使越来越多的领先的基础科学家与ACR的医生，科学家和关节炎健康专业人员接触，向ACR的成员传授当前的知识，促进科学知识转移到患者护理，并增加参加年会的基础研究人员的数量。正如本提案正文所述，我们认为，通过本次会议的形式，这些目标正在实现。每年的ACR年会都设在美国的一个大城市，有足够的会议中心容量和酒店空间来容纳基础研究会议和ACR成员的更大的附属会议的与会者。2005年，基础研究会议定于11月11日至12日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行。主题是“树突状细胞”，会议将由Anne Davidson，Yong Jun-Liu和Virginia Pascual博士共同主持。接下来几年还选择了主题，包括先天免疫、组织损伤机制、疾病过程可视化和基因组学。每年计划该计划的委员会将由一名基础科学学科的领导人担任主席，由他/她任命的联合主席，ACR COR的代表和COR主席组成。该提案的PI，博士简E。Salmon是现任COR主席。这样做的目的是为了方便在ACR董事会负责这一目的的常设委员会的主持下每年组织会议。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competitive renewal to continue the ACR Basic Research Conference for the years 2005-2008. The Basic Research Conference, which is organized under the direction of the ACR Committee on Research COR), consists of a one and one-half day scientific conference focusing on the basic science aspects of a major topic relevant to rheumatic diseases. It immediately precedes the ACR annual meeting. The purpose of the Basic Research Conference is to bring increasing numbers of leading basic scientists into contact with the physicians, scientists, and arthritis health professional members of the ACR, to impart current knowledge to the members of the ACR, to facilitate transfer of scientific knowledge to patient care, and to increase the numbers of basic investigators attending the annual meeting. As outlined in the body of this proposal, we believe those goals are being achieved with the format of this conference. Each year the ACR annual meeting is located in a large city in the USA with adequate convention center capacity and hotel space to accommodate attendees of both the Basic Research Conference and the much larger affiliated meeting of ACR members. In 2005, the Basic Research Conference is scheduled for November 11-12 in San Diego, CA. The topic is "Dendritic Cells", and the meeting will be co-chaired by Drs. Anne Davidson, Yong Jun-Liu, and Virginia Pascual. Topics have also been selected for the following several years, including Innate Immunity, Mechanisms of Tissue Injury, Visualizing Disease Processes, and Genomics. Each year the committee planning the program will consist of a selected leader in a basic scientific discipline as chair, a co-chair appointed by him/her, a representative of the ACR COR, and the COR chair. The PI of this proposal, Dr. Jane E. Salmon, is the current COR Chair. The purpose of this is to facilitate the yearly organization of the conference under the auspices of the standing committee charged with this purpose by the ACR Board of Directors.
