CIS First North American Primary Immune Deficiency National Conference

简介（由申请人提供）：临床免疫学学会（CIS）成立于1986年，致力于促进临床免疫学科学和实践的发展。CIS的使命是促进教育，转化研究和临床免疫学治疗的新方法，以促进免疫和炎症疾病患者的卓越护理。第一届北美原发性免疫缺陷（PID）会议，将于2010年5月20日至23日在费城举行，代表了CIS的一个重要的新教育倡议。这项R13资助提案要求为在该领域工作的年轻医生和科学家提供50笔旅行资助。培训生参加会议是必不可少的，并通过优秀的教育计划和旅行奖励来促进。旅行获奖者的教育机会包括优秀的全体会议，最先进的研讨会和早餐专题讨论会。学员将在口头摘要和海报会议上积极发言。会议的预期规模约为300名与会者，这非常适合使青年科学家接触该领域的领导者，但也为学员提供机会在原发性免疫缺陷的主要会议上介绍他们的工作。美国国立卫生研究院对会议的支持将允许免疫学领域的受训者接受教育、建立网络和专业进步。临床免疫学学会（CIS）将于2010年5月20日至23日在美国主办首届北美原发性免疫缺陷会议。此次会议的目标是首次将一个不断扩大的网络聚集在一起，该网络由大约300名已有的和新入职的内科科学家组成，旨在培育一个全新的场所，促进美国原发性免疫缺陷的工作。在这项R13拨款中，我们要求资助50名博士后研究员和高度积极的医生参加会议，并在口头和海报会议上展示他们选择的摘要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Clinical Immunology Society (CIS), established in 1986, is devoted to fostering developments in the science and practice of clinical immunology. The mission of CIS is to facilitate education, translational research and novel approaches to therapy in clinical immunology to promote excellence in the care of patients with immunologic and inflammatory disorders. The First North American Primary Immune Deficiency (PID) Conference, to be held May 20th-23rd, 2010 in Philadelphia, represents a major new educational initiative of CIS. This R13 grant proposal requests support to provide 50 travel grants to young physicians and scientists working in this field. Trainee participation in the Conference is essential and is fostered by an outstanding educational program and travel awards. Educational opportunities for travel awardees include outstanding plenary sessions, state-of-the-art workshops, and breakfast symposia sessions. Trainees will be active presenters in oral abstract and poster sessions. The anticipated size of the Conference is approximately 300 participants, which is ideally suited to expose young scientists to leaders in the field, yet provide opportunities for trainees to present their work at a premier conference in primary immune deficiency. Support from the NIH for the Conference will allow education, networking, and professional advancement of trainees in the field of immunology. The Clinical Immunology Society (CIS) will host the First North American Primary Immune Deficiency Conference in the United States May 20-23, 2010. The goal is to bring together for the first time, an expanding network of about 300 established and new physician scientists, to foster an entirely new venue for promoting work in Primary Immune Deficiency in the United States. In this R13 grant, we request funding for 50 travel awards for post-doctoral fellows and highly motivated physicians to attend the conference and present their selected abstracts during oral and poster sessions.
