DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed International Conference is entitled "Retrovirus Molecular Biology: Insights into Normal and Disease Processes." The study of retroviruses has a long and venerable history, and has contributed substantially to our understanding of the genetic basis of cancer, principles of infection and immunity, normal cellular and organismic processes, and evolution. These studies continue to provide new knowledge and insights that are important in the development of strategies to prevent or treat human disease. This conference will represent a unique opportunity for exchange of information and initiation of collaborations among researchers in Europe, the United States, and other parts of the world, who are interested in the broad significance of retroviruses and other retroelements in disease and evolution. The meeting will take place on (April 29 to May 4, 2010) in Prague, the Czech Republic, where there is a rich tradition in retrovirus research. The formal agenda is organized around biological themes and will end with a session on antiviral strategies. We are requesting support for ten invited plenary speakers who will also serve as session chairs and discussion leaders, as well as five students and postdoctoral fellows and three researchers from developing countries who would not otherwise be able to attend the conference. In addition to the plenary talks, time will be allotted for additional short presentation to be organized in workshops and poster sessions selected from submitted abstracts. The formal sessions will be enhanced by opportunities for informal interactions at and around the conference site to promote new research ideas and collaborations.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的国际会议是题为“逆转录病毒分子生物学：洞察到正常和疾病的过程。“逆转录病毒的研究有着悠久而古老的历史，并为我们理解癌症的遗传基础、感染和免疫原理、正常的细胞和器官过程以及进化做出了重大贡献。这些研究继续提供新的知识和见解，这对预防或治疗人类疾病的战略发展至关重要。这次会议将为欧洲、美国和世界其他地区的研究人员提供一个独特的机会，使他们能够交流信息，并开展合作，这些研究人员对逆转录病毒和其他逆转录因子在疾病和进化中的广泛意义感兴趣。会议将于2010年4月29日至5月4日在捷克共和国的布拉格举行，那里有着丰富的逆转录病毒研究传统。正式议程围绕生物学主题组织，并将以关于抗病毒策略的会议结束。我们请求为10名受邀的全体发言人提供支持，他们将担任会议主席和讨论领导人，并请求为来自发展中国家的5名学生和博士后研究员以及3名研究人员提供支持，否则他们将无法出席会议。除全体会议外，还将分配时间在讲习班和从提交的摘要中选出的海报展示会上组织额外的简短介绍。正式会议将通过在会议现场和周围进行非正式互动的机会来加强，以促进新的研究思路和合作。
