DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Understanding function and regulation of the immune system is critical for many diseases, including autoimmune diseases, cancer, allergy/asthma, infectious diseases, immune deficiency, and transplant rejection. To rapidly exploit scientific advances in this area, two major barriers need to be overcome: First, the translation of basic findings into clinically and medically relevant contexts, and second, the exchange of relevant findings in immunological sciences which unify these diverse diseases through multidisciplinary approaches which cut across traditional clinical boundaries. FOCIS, the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies, is the leading international organization which exists to meet these needs. Linking more than 43 major professional societies representing 60,000 professionals with this common vision is a service that will ensure progress towards the goal of improving human health through immunology. FOCISed FOCIS exists to improve human health through immunology. Consistent with this mission, FOCIS created the educational portfolio (FOCISed) to foster the training and education of basic and clinical scientists in interdisciplinary approaches to perform the best research, develop new tools and provide new insights into immunological diseases. Please see an overview of each FOCISed course below: Advanced Course in Basic & Clinical Immunology Students in this course include clinical fellows, trainees and researchers in the pharmaceutical industry, and practicing academic physicians who need to enhance their understanding of immunology. Invited speakers lecture on the major topics in cellular and molecular immunology, including innate immunity, B cells, T cells and cytokines. Special sessions cover new advances in interventional clinical immunology and the molecular and genetic basis of immunologically-mediated diseases. There is ample opportunity for students to interact with the faculty outside the lecture room. Interventional Immunology The Interventional Immunology course provides education on the many new therapies that are currently available or in development which are based on targets that are unfamiliar to many practicing physicians. There is potentially great value for, but lack of, cross-disciplinary reviews of these types of therapies. The content of this course includes a review of the scientific basis for choice of immunologically related therapeutic targets in various diseases, including organ specific and systemic autoimmunity, allergy, transplant rejection, cancer and HIV. The goal is to help attendees understand the rationale and mechanism underlying the major pharmacologic approaches for interventional immunology in their current practice and review the track record of the different therapeutic approaches in different specialties. Basic Immunology in Medicine: Update This course was launched in 2002 because of the realization that the rapid pace of research is leading to fundamental advances in the understanding of immune responses and their abnormalities. Staying abreast of these advances is essential for practitioners of medicine and for researchers in academia and industry. As new immunotherapeutic strategies are being developed and adopted, it is important to understand the rationale behind these therapies, and this also requires an appreciation of the fundamentals of immunology. This course is designed to provide a sophisticated review of selected basic principles, and an update on new advances, especially those that are most relevant to human disease. Project Narrative: To create educational programs that maintain, develop and increase the knowledge, understanding, skills and professional performance of trainees and investigators in the broad field of clinical immunology, and to enable basic scientists to understand the pathogenesis of immunological disease and the principles of clinical research. Goals: Increase the number of clinical trainees who attend the FOCIS annual meeting, Partner with member societies and industry to deliver interdisciplinary educational programs, Increase number of graduate school programs in translational immunology, Drive the establishment of educational programs in translational immunology, Increase the number of institutions that institute FOCIS-developed programs, and Facilitate and enhance an exchange of approaches and technologies among established consortia focused on different immunologically-mediated diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）： 了解免疫系统的功能和调节对于许多疾病至关重要，包括自身免疫性疾病，癌症，过敏/哮喘，传染病，免疫缺陷和移植排斥反应。要快速利用该领域的科学进步，需要克服两个主要的障碍：首先，将基本发现转化为临床和医学相关的环境，其次，在免疫科学中的相关发现的交换通过跨传统临床边界的多学科方法统一这些多样性疾病的相关发现。临床免疫学社会联合会FOCIS是实现这些需求的领先国际组织。将代表60,000名专业人士的43多个主要专业社会与这一共同愿景联系起来，这将确保通过免疫学改善人类健康的进步。 焦点 FOCIS存在于通过免疫学改善人类健康。与此任务一致，FOCIS创建了教育组合（焦点），以促进对基本和临床科学家进行跨学科方法的培训和教育，以执行最佳研究，开发新的工具并为免疫疾病提供新的见解。请参阅以下每个概括课程的概述： 基本和临床免疫学的高级课程 本课程的学生包括制药行业的临床研究员，学员和研究人员，以及需要增强对免疫学理解的学术医师。受邀的演讲者讲述了细胞和分子免疫学的主要主题，包括先天免疫，B细胞，T细胞和细胞因子。特殊会议涵盖了介入的临床免疫学以及免疫学介导的疾病的分子和遗传基础的新进展。学生有足够的机会与演讲室外的教师互动。 介入免疫学 介入免疫学课程提供了有关目前可用或开发的许多新疗法的教育，这些疗法基于许多实践医生不熟悉的目标。对于这些类型的疗法，可能有很大的价值，但缺乏跨学科的评论。本课程的内容包括对各种疾病的免疫学治疗靶标的科学基础的综述，包括器官特异性和系统自身免疫性，过敏，移植拒绝，癌症和HIV。目的是帮助与会者了解当前实践中介入免疫学的主要药理方法的基本原理和机制，并回顾不同专业中不同治疗方法的记录。 医学中的基本免疫学：更新 该课程于2002年启动，因为意识到研究的迅速速度正在导致理解免疫反应及其异常的基本进步。与这些进步保持同步，对于医学从业者以及学术界和工业的研究人员至关重要。随着新的免疫治疗策略的制定和采用，重要的是要了解这些疗法背后的理由，这也需要对免疫学的基本面表示赞赏。本课程旨在对选定的基本原则进行复杂的评论，并提供有关新进步的最新信息，尤其是那些与人类疾病最相关的进步。 项目叙述： 创建教育计划，以维护，发展和增加临床免疫学领域的受训者和研究人员的知识，理解，技能和专业表现，并使基础科学家能够理解免疫学疾病的发病机理和临床研究原理。目标：增加参加聚焦年度会议的临床学员的数量，与成员社会和行业合作，以提供跨学科的教育计划，增加翻译免疫学领域的研究生院计划的数量，推动在翻译免疫学领域建立教育计划，增加机构的数量，增加范围内的范围和跨性别计划，并提高途径，并提高途径，并建立了范围的交换。疾病。
