DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 16th annual Midwest Microbial Pathogenesis Conference will be held on October 9-11, 2009, in West Lafayette, IN, and will be co-sponsored by Purdue University and Indiana University. This annual conference has been a major venue for interactions and collaboration by bacterial pathogenesis researchers located throughout the Midwest region. We will continue the tradition that at least 50% of research talks are set aside for new investigators. Special efforts will be made to attract women and minorities to participate and speak at the conference. We anticipate attendance in 2009 will be about 200. Sponsorships from various sources have been essential to keep the cost low without compromising the high quality of the meeting. Due to the current tight funding and economic situation, we fear a loss of sponsorship and reduced participation if we raise the registration fees. Hence, we are asking the NIAID to support the 2009 Midwest Microbial Pathogenesis Conference to help us keep this conference accessible to researchers in the region.

描述（由申请人提供）：第 16 届年度中西部微生物发病机制会议将于 2009 年 10 月 9 日至 11 日在印第安纳州西拉斐特举行，由普渡大学和印第安纳大学共同主办。这次年度会议是整个中西部地区细菌发病机制研究人员互动和合作的主要场所。我们将延续至少 50% 的研究讲座留给新研究者的传统。将特别努力吸引妇女和少数族裔参加会议并在会议上发言。我们预计 2009 年的参会人数约为 200 人。来自各种来源的赞助对于保持低成本而又不影响会议的高质量至关重要。由于目前资金紧张和经济形势，如果我们提高注册费，我们担心会失去赞助并减少参与。因此，我们请求 NIAID 支持 2009 年中西部微生物发病机制会议，以帮助我们让该地区的研究人员能够参加这次会议。
