Workshop on Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Disases; University of California, Berkeley; June, 26-30, 2018

该奖项将支持在美国伯克利的加州大学举办的传染病生态学和进化前沿研讨会。讲习班有两个目标。第一个目标是回顾生态学和传染病研究的最新进展，并确定数据，信息和知识的关键差距。第二个目标是确定优先研究领域，并讨论在生态学和传染病研究方面开展研究和教育活动的联合国际合作的可能机制。这一点很重要，因为传染病不分国界。世界各地人类、动物和植物传染病的出现和重新出现一直是各经济部门（例如，作物生产、畜牧业生产、林业）、生物多样性以及公共卫生和安全。研讨会的更广泛影响包括发表一篇关于传染病生态学和演变的现状、差距和研究优先事项的论文，为美国教师和学生提供培训机会，为美国研究人员和机构提供网络建设机会。H5N1、H7N9、埃博拉病毒和寨卡病毒）在过去二十年中造成了大量人员伤亡，并增加了经济负担。谁一直在研究，教育，监测，控制和预防许多传染病的最前沿的研究人员将聚集在一起，为本次研讨会交流和综合流行病学，生态学和传染病的演变的现有知识。通过确定和评估EEID在数据、信息和知识方面的主要差距，本次研讨会将为全球社会的努力做出贡献，并提高我们在预测和绘制热点、热点时刻、出现、传播、该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

This award will support a workshop on Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases at the University of California, Berkeley, USA. The workshop has two objectives. The first objective is to review recent progress in ecology and infectious disease research and identify key gaps in data, information, and knowledge. The second objective is to identify research priority areas and discuss possible mechanisms for joint, international cooperation on research and education activities in ecology and infectious disease research. This is important since infectious diseases do not recognize international borders. The emergence and re-emergence of human, animal and plant infectious diseases around the world have been a major concern for various economic sectors (e.g., crop production, livestock production, forestry), biodiversity, and public health and security. Broader impacts from the workshop include publishing a paper on the current status, gaps, and research priorities in ecology and evolution of infectious diseases, training opportunities for US faculty and students, and network building opportunities for researchers and institutions from the US.A number of large-scale epidemics of infection diseases (e.g., H5N1, H7N9, Ebola and Zika) in the past two decades have resulted in substantial losses of human life, as well as in increased economic burdens. Researchers who have been at the forefront of research, education, surveillance, control and prevention of many infectious diseases, will be brought together for this workshop to communicate and synthesize current knowledge of epidemiology, ecology and evolution of infectious diseases. By identifying and assessing major gaps in data, information and knowledge in the EEID, this workshop is going to contribute to the global community's effort and advance our ability and skills in predicting and mapping hot-spots, hot-moments, emergence, spread, and persistence of infectious diseases in the near future.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
