Conference Grant: Plant Virology Satellite Symposium at the 33rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Virology

气候变化导致病毒传播所需的宿主新的迁移，正在造成威胁全世界农业的病毒的严重新爆发。病毒如何自然地跨越物种障碍并进化成新的宿主是植物病毒学卫星星期六研讨会的一个关键主题。这笔赠款是为了帮助支持10名研究生/博士后研究员参加植物病毒学卫星星期六研讨会在病毒学（ASV），这将于2014年6月21日至25日在科罗拉多州立大学举行的美国社会第33届年会。 参加他们领域的顶级会议，如ASV年会，对学生来说至关重要，因为他们学习新的研究，扩展他们的科学思维，与同行建立联系，并与病毒学领域的顶级研究人员会面。卫星专题讨论会的题目是：过渡世界中的病毒：物种跳跃和新出现的植物和动物病毒，由植物病毒学俱乐部赞助，该俱乐部是美国病毒学协会内的一个组织，旨在支持年会上关注植物病毒的研究和发言者。由于动物和植物病毒学家的世界级声誉谁将在研讨会上提出，在动物和植物病毒学的学生和研究人员的大量观众是预期的。这将导致研究领域的扩大，无论主机的赞赏，并希望在病毒学的广泛领域内培养新的交流领域。这一请求是为了资助目前正在进行植物/昆虫/真菌病毒研究的研究生/博士后研究员的旅费，以支持他们出席会议。将注意向美国所有地区的实验室分发旅行奖励，并优先考虑代表性不足的少数民族，妇女和残疾人的学生/博士后。提供支持，让这些年轻的研究人员参加卫星会议和更大的ASV会议应该鼓励他们与更大的病毒科学界有良好的互动，并建立对他们未来工作有用的联系。

Climate changes leading to new migrations of hosts that viruses require for transmission is causing serious new outbreaks of viruses that threaten agriculture throughout the world. How viruses naturally cross species barriers and evolve to populate new hosts is a key theme of the Plant Virology Satellite Saturday Symposium. This grant is to help support travel for 10 graduate students/postdoctoral fellows to attend the Plant Virology Satellite Saturday Symposium at the 33rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Virology (ASV), which will take place from June 21-25, 2014 at Colorado State University. Attending top meetings in their fields, such as the annual meeting of ASV, is critical for students as they learn new research, expand their scientific thinking, network with peers and meet top researchers in the field of virology. The Satellite Symposium, entitled: Viruses in a Transitioning World: Species Jumping and Emerging Plant and Animal Viruses is sponsored by the Plant Virology Club, an organization within the American Society of Virology that was initiated to support research and speakers at the annual meeting who focus on plant viruses. Because of the world class reputations of both the animal and plant virologists who will be presenting at the Symposium, a large audience of students and researchers in both animal and plant virology is expected. This should result in a broadening of the appreciation of research fields regardless of the host and hopefully foster new areas of communication within the broad field of virology. This request is for funds to help provide for travel fellowships for graduate students/post-doctoral fellows who are currently conducting research in plant/insect/fungal viruses that will support their attendance at the conference. Attention will be paid to distribution of the travel awards to labs in all regions of the US, and preference will be given to students/postdocs who are underrepresented minorities, women and persons with disabilities. Providing support to allow these young investigators to attend the satellite meeting and the larger ASV meeting should encourage them to have excellent interactions with the larger viral scientific community and make connections that will be useful for their future work.
