ABSTRACT This proposal is to request support for the 56th Annual Meeting of the Society for Leukocyte Biology entitled: “The Future of Immunology: New Solutions to Old Problems”. The meeting will be held September 27 – 30, 2023, at the University of Georgia Conference Center in Athens, GA. Funds derived from this proposal will be distributed in the form of travel awards that will provide much needed assistance to young investigators and trainees. The Organizers of the 56th annual meeting are Peter Keyel, Ph.D. (Texas Tech University) and Balázs Rada, Ph.D. (University of Georgia). SLB is the leading scientific society with a focus on leukocytes and their roles in the pathophysiology of acute and chronic diseases. No other scientific meeting regarding study of the immune system focuses on the leukocyte with the breadth and depth of SLB, so the annual meetings sponsored by SLB fill this void. Therefore, SLB is the premier society in the field of leukocyte biology, and convenes annually to promote scientific exchange among researchers and support the career development of trainees and junior investigators. Funds derived from this proposal will be distributed in the form of travel awards that will provide much needed assistance to facilitate the ability of young investigators and trainees to attend. The essential goals of the annual meeting include: 1) advancing original research and related scientific endeavors in the field of leukocyte biology and host defense, 2) promoting the career development of junior and new investigators interested in leukocyte biology, 3) disseminating information about the field to the wider scientific and lay audience, and 4) encouraging the translation of basic research in leukocyte biology to applications in the clinic. These goals will be achieved through three Aims: Aim 1: To provide an innovative and scientifically progressive program, in a collegial forum, to address the latest developments in leukocyte biology. The agenda will include a total of 4 Plenary Sessions and 8 Concurrent Sessions with a total of 19 invited speakers. Aim 2: To provide an opportunity for new investigators and trainees to interact closely with established scientists. A significant innovation for recent iterations of the annual meeting is the SLB-SCHOOL (Society for Leukocyte Biology-Symposium for Career development and Hands-On Opportunity to Learn) which offers trainees a full day instructional workshop covering topics related to leukocyte biology research. The expectation is that enrollees will gain practical insight into this topic and more actively participate with experts in the field. Aim 3: To promote diversity and inclusion in the field of leukocyte biology by cultivating the participation of women, underrepresented groups and disadvantaged individuals. The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) committee will sponsor workshops and awards to encourage the participation of women and scientists from underrepresented groups. In sum, the 2023 annual meeting of SLB is purposefully designed to enhance awareness of the influence of leukocyte biology in health and disease and inspire young investigators.

摘要 该提案旨在请求支持白细胞生物学学会第56届年会 题为：“免疫学的未来：老问题的新解决方案”。会议将于9月27日至 2023年30日，在佐治亚州雅典的格鲁吉亚大学会议中心举行。本提案产生的资金将 以旅行奖励的形式发放，为年轻的调查人员提供急需的帮助， 实习生第56届年会的组织者是Peter Keyel博士。（德州理工大学）和Balázs Rada博士（格鲁吉亚大学）。 SLB是领先的科学协会，专注于白细胞及其在肿瘤病理生理学中的作用。 急性和慢性疾病。没有其他关于免疫系统研究的科学会议关注免疫系统。 白细胞与SLB的广度和深度，所以SLB主办的年会填补了这一空白。因此，我们认为， SLB是白细胞生物学领域的首要协会，每年召开一次会议，以促进科学交流 研究人员之间的培训，并支持受训人员和初级调查员的职业发展。所衍生的资金 这项建议将以旅行奖励的形式分发，这将提供急需的援助， 年轻调查员和学员参加的能力。年会的基本目标包括：1） 推进白细胞生物学和宿主防御领域的原创性研究和相关科学工作， 2)促进对白细胞生物学感兴趣的初级和新研究人员的职业发展，3） 向更广泛的科学和非专业观众传播有关该领域的信息，以及4）鼓励 白细胞生物学基础研究转化为临床应用。这些目标将会实现 通过三个目标：目标1：提供一个创新和科学进步的计划，在一个合议论坛， 来阐述白细胞生物学的最新发展议程将包括总共4次全体会议 及8个同期会议，共邀请19位讲者。目标2：提供新的机会 研究人员和受训人员与知名科学家密切互动。最近的一项重大创新 年会的迭代是SLB-学校（白细胞生物学学会职业研讨会 发展和动手学习的机会），为学员提供一整天的教学研讨会 涵盖与白细胞生物学研究相关的主题。期望的是，参加者将获得实际的见解 更积极地与该领域的专家合作。目标3：促进多样性和包容性， 通过培养妇女、代表性不足的群体和 弱势群体。多样性，公平和包容（DEI）委员会将赞助研讨会， 鼓励代表性不足群体的妇女和科学家参与的奖项。总之，2023年 SLB的年度会议旨在提高人们对白细胞生物学影响的认识， 并激励年轻研究人员。
