Education Component

这一应用程序的教育部分将有助于将联合会成员的信息传播给新的受训人员和工作人员以及联合会的所有调查人员。这些信息将包括培养炭疽杆菌和与孢子或营养细菌一起工作以及分离内毒素和外毒素的基本问题。这些程序都需要在使用前进行培训。教育部分还将通过加强现有的一系列讨论会介绍新的资料。现有的OMRF研讨会系列每年将增加六名外部发言人。发言人将由本基金指导委员会挑选，并由研究宿主对炭疽杆菌反应的国家专家组成。此外，教育部分将在传播从这一应用的技术部分发展出来的新信息和技术方面发挥重要作用。

The education component of this application will serve to help disseminate information from consortium members to new trainees and staff as well as to all investigators of the consortium. The information will include basic issues of growing the anthrax bacilli and working with the spores or vegetative bacteria and isolating the endo- and exotoxins. Each of these procedures involves training prior to use. The educational component will also introduce new information through enhancement of an existing seminar series. Six additional outside speakers per year will be added to the existing OMRF seminar series. Speakers will be selected by the steering committee of this grant and be among national experts studying the host response to B. anthracis. In addition, the education component will play an important role in disseminating new information and technologies developed from the technology component of this application.
