DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for the 2009 Chemical and Biological Terrorism Defense Gordon Research Conference, to be held in Galveston, TX, January 18 - 23, 2009. The broad and long term goal of the conference, as embodied in the theme for 2009, is Integrating "Everyday" with "Maybe Someday". There are numerous challenges in developing defenses, particularly medical countermeasures, or detection systems, to address biological or chemical threats. This Conference will focus on an array of topics in which new research has been focused on broad spectrum and platform technology approaches to discovering and developing defenses for biological and chemical threats that both leverage and integrate "everyday" applications. The specific aims of this meeting will be to convene a total of 135 participants, of which it is anticipated that 54 will be speakers, to represent new and critical areas of research that will be needed to allow the "leap ahead" in new approaches to integrating preparedness for the health impacts of chemical or biological terrorism with "everyday" technologies and systems for medicine, public health, and acute environmental hazards. The program will have a keynote address session and eight scientific sessions that address broad spectrum therapeutics, platform technologies for diagnostics, integration of chemical and biological detection into general use platforms; early host responses to biological and chemical agents; translational research: animals to people; "magic bullets": immunomodulators and immune enhancers; "OMICS" for biological and chemical agents; and screening strategies: targets and opportunities for intervention. In addition to the oral presentations, ample opportunities for poster sessions will be provided. The significance of this application is that the Gordon Research Conference on Chemical and Biological Terrorism Preparedness provides a unique opportunity for close interaction and exchange of research information among allergic process researchers in this somewhat "niche" area. The health relatedness of this application is that the ultimate goal of research in chemical and biological terrorism defense is to provide new opportunities for health interventions, whether they be drugs, vaccines, diagnostics, or detection systems, to help protect the population of the United States in the event of a terrorism attack with these agents.

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案请求部分支持将于2009年1月18日至23日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿举行的2009年化学和生物恐怖主义防御戈登研究会议。正如2009年会议主题所体现的那样，会议的广泛和长期目标是将“每天”与“也许有一天”结合起来。在开发防御系统，特别是医学对策或探测系统以应对生物或化学威胁方面，存在着许多挑战。本次会议将集中于一系列主题，其中新的研究重点是广谱和平台技术方法，以发现和开发针对生物和化学威胁的防御措施，既利用并整合“日常”应用。本次会议的具体目标将是召集总共135名与会者，其中预计将有54人发言，代表新的关键研究领域，以便在将应对化学或生物恐怖主义对健康影响的准备与医学、公共卫生和严重环境危害的“日常”技术和系统相结合的新方法方面实现“飞跃”。该计划将有一个主旨演讲环节和八个科学环节，分别涉及广谱治疗、诊断平台技术、将化学和生物检测整合到通用平台中；宿主对生物和化学制剂的早期反应；转化研究：动物对人的反应；“神奇子弹”：免疫调节剂和免疫增强剂；生物和化学制剂的“OMICS”；以及筛选战略：干预的目标和机会。除了口头陈述外，还将提供充足的海报会议机会。这项申请的意义在于，戈登化学和生物恐怖主义防范研究会议为过敏过程研究人员在这一“小众”领域的密切互动和研究信息交流提供了一个独特的机会。这项应用与健康相关的是，化学和生物恐怖主义防御研究的最终目标是为健康干预提供新的机会，无论是药物、疫苗、诊断还是检测系统，以帮助保护美国人口，在这些毒剂发动恐怖袭击的情况下。
