DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will provide funds to support student, post-doctoral, and young investigators who will be presenting results of basic research related to arthropod vectors of disease at the 75th Annual Meeting of the American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA) in New Orleans, Louisiana. The emphasis on basic research is to support the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) mission as it relates to understanding the biology of insect vectors of disease that will ultimately aid in disease prevention. The goals of the AMCA are complementary to those of the NIAID. The AMCA is a non-profit professional organization with a mission to provide leadership, information and education leading to the enhancement of health and quality of life through the suppression of mosquito and other vector-transmitted diseases and the reduction of annoyance levels caused by mosquitoes and other vectors and pests of public health importance. Student, post- doctoral researchers, and young investigator members of the AMCA are vital to continuing research programs that benefit vector control and providing a new generation of vector biologists, control specialists, and defenders of public health. It is critical that these young investigators are allowed the opportunity to meet and interact with established professionals and that the AMCA does what it can to encourage and assist these individuals in traveling to the Annual Meeting. The goals of the AMCA Annual Meeting are: 1) Bring together two major groups, mosquito control operations and research scientists, to work together towards the common goal of reducing vector-borne disease; 2) Provide a forum to share current research and operational results and discuss current and long-standing issues relevant to vector biology and control; 3) Promote best management practices of vector control using scientific principles; and 4) Encourage students, post-docs, and young investigators to interact with established professionals in vector control, academic, and public health professions. The meeting and notice of available travel funds will be advertised to Universities, public health and vector control agencies, and will encourage women and minorities to apply; award materials will be posted on topically related minority websites. Seven travel awards will be made; five domestic and two international. Two of the awards will be designated for minorities. A travel grant review committee will review all applications and make the determination as to how the seven awards are distributed. Funds will be provided as reimbursements for travel on coach class fare, hotel and meeting registration expense only. This project is relevant to public health in that the American Mosquito Control Association Annual Meeting provides a forum to share current research and operational issues on the biology and control of blood-feeding arthropods and the disease-causing pathogens they transmit. This meeting provides a unique opportunity to bring together two major groups, mosquito control operations and research scientists, to work together towards the common goal of reducing vector-borne disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将提供资金支持学生、博士后和年轻研究人员，他们将在路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行的第 75 届美国蚊虫控制协会 (AMCA) 年会上展示与疾病节肢动物媒介相关的基础研究成果。基础研究的重点是支持国家过敏和传染病研究所 (NIAID) 的使命，因为它涉及了解疾病昆虫媒介的生物学，最终有助于疾病预防。 AMCA 的目标与 NIAID 的目标是互补的。 AMCA 是一个非营利性专业组织，其使命是提供领导力、信息和教育，通过抑制蚊子和其他病媒传播的疾病以及减少蚊子和其他对公共卫生具有重要意义的病媒和害虫造成的困扰来提高健康和生活质量。 AMCA 的学生、博士后研究人员和年轻研究人员对于继续有利于病媒控制的研究项目至关重要，并培养新一代病媒生物学家、控制专家和公共卫生捍卫者。至关重要的是，这些年轻的研究人员有机会与成熟的专业人士会面和互动，并且 AMCA 尽其所能鼓励和协助这些人参加年会。 AMCA 年会的目标是： 1) 将蚊虫控制机构和研究科学家这两个主要群体聚集在一起，共同努力实现减少媒介传播疾病的共同目标； 2) 提供一个论坛，分享当前的研究和业务成果，并讨论与病媒生物学和控制相关的当前和长期问题； 3) 利用科学原理推广病媒控制的最佳管理实践； 4) 鼓励学生、博士后和年轻研究人员与媒介控制、学术和公共卫生专业领域的知名专业人士进行互动。会议和可用旅行资金的通知将向大学、公共卫生和病媒控制机构公布，并鼓励妇女和少数族裔申请；获奖材料将发布在与主题相关的少数族裔网站上。将颁发七个旅游奖项；五个国内，两个国际。其中两个奖项将指定给少数族裔。旅费补助审查委员会将审查所有申请，并决定如何分配这七个奖项。资金将仅用于报销经济舱票价、酒店和会议注册费用。该项目与公共卫生相关，因为美国蚊虫控制协会年会提供了一个论坛，分享当前有关吸血节肢动物及其传播的致病病原体的生物学和控制的研究和操作问题。这次会议提供了一个独特的机会，将蚊虫控制机构和研究科学家这两个主要群体聚集在一起，共同努力实现减少媒介传播疾病的共同目标。
