DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks partial funding for a FASEB Summer Conference on "Signal Transduction in the Immune System", to be held June 21-26, 2009 in Snowmass, Colorado. The major goal of this conference is to provide a comprehensive focus on recent advances regarding the signaling mechanisms involved in the response of immune cells in both health and disease. This will be the 5th version of this FASEB conference, with past meetings held in 2000, '03, '05 and '07. This conference has garnered widespread interest in research institutes, academia, and industry because of the outstanding speaker rosters, the cutting edge nature of the work presented and the relevance of many presentations to immunologic diseases. Additionally, since most mainstream immunology meetings do not provide an in-depth focus on signal transduction mechanisms, having this separate FASEB conference for this area of investigation has established the meeting as high profile forum for many investigators. Each version of this FASEB conference has seen increasing attendance, with 2007 being one of the most highly attended FASEB Summer conferences in general. The meeting attracts the leaders in immune signal transduction world-wide as well as new investigators and students. The meeting planned for 2009 will cover a spectrum of topics, with an emphasis on innate immune signaling mechanisms. The 2009 conference will also have a designated session for investigators from leading pharmaceutical groups to provide updates on therapeutic developments in immunologic disease. Though the conference has a backbone of regular attendees and speakers, to ensure that new ideas and areas are addressed, the 2009 conference will feature 17 new speakers (out of a total of 29 invited talks). In addition, each session has space for one or several short talks to be selected from abstracts, with priority given to new investigators or post-docs from groups in which PIs are not presenting. This will ensure a diversity of topics at the meeting. The overall objectives of the meeting are: 1. To provide a critical and intensive overview of the recent advances in immune signaling, emphasizing innate immune signaling; 2. To bring together senior scientists and young investigators in a convivial atmosphere of presentation and informal discussion to engender the enthusiasm and investigative skills of students and young investigators; 3. To rapidly advance the research on the molecular mechanisms in the immune system by broadly disseminating information and recent breakthroughs. Thus, it is hoped that this conference will build upon the success of past conferences in influencing the direction of immune signaling research.

描述(由申请者提供)：本申请寻求为2009年6月21-26日在科罗拉多州斯诺马斯举行的FASEB夏季会议“免疫系统中的信号转导”提供部分资金。本次会议的主要目标是全面关注在健康和疾病中涉及免疫细胞反应的信号机制的最新进展。这将是这次FASEB会议的第五次版本，之前的会议分别在2000、03、05和07年举行。这次会议引起了研究机构、学术界和工业界的广泛兴趣，因为有出色的演讲者名单，所做工作的尖端性质，以及许多演讲与免疫学疾病的相关性。此外，由于大多数主流免疫学会议不提供对信号转导机制的深入关注，为这一调查领域单独举行FASEB会议，使该会议成为许多研究人员的高调论坛。本次FASEB会议的每一个版本都有越来越多的出席者，2007年是FASEB夏季会议中出席人数最多的会议之一。这次会议吸引了世界各地免疫信号转导领域的领导者以及新的研究人员和学生。计划于2009年召开的会议将涵盖一系列主题，重点是先天免疫信号机制。2009年大会还将为来自领先制药集团的研究人员提供一个指定的会议，以提供免疫疾病治疗进展的最新情况。虽然大会有一批定期出席者和发言者，但为了确保提出新的想法和领域，2009年大会将有17位新的发言者(总共29次受邀演讲)。此外，每一次会议都有空间从摘要中选择一次或几次简短的演讲，优先考虑新的调查人员或没有介绍个人信息的团体的博士后。这将确保会议议题的多样性。会议的总体目标是：1.对免疫信号的最新进展提供关键和深入的概述，重点是先天性免疫信号；2.将资深科学家和年轻研究人员聚集在欢快的陈述和非正式讨论的气氛中，激发学生和年轻研究人员的热情和调查技能；3.通过广泛传播信息和最新突破，迅速推进免疫系统分子机制的研究。因此，希望这次会议将在以往会议成功影响免疫信号研究方向的基础上再接再厉。
