Financial support is being sought for the 17th meeting of the International Society for Sexually Transmitted Diseases Research (ISSTDR) that will be held at the Washington State Trade and Convention Center in Seattle, Washington from July 29 ? August 1, 2007. The funding received will be applied primarily to support the award of travel scholarships to junior investigators and trainees who would otherwise not be able to attend this meeting. Over the past three decades, these biennial ISSTDR meetings have provided an important forum to address the entire breadth of STD research, including HIV infection and AIDS. The ISSTDR has emerged as the premier international scientific conference on STD, encompassing the fields of microbiology, virology, immunobiology, pathogenesis, and other basic sciences; clinical sciences, social and behavioral sciences, epidemiology, and prevention; and research in health services, public health, and prevention policy. Historically, meeting venues have alternated between Europe and North America. Based on previous attendance figures, more than a thousand clinical and basic researchers, their fellows, and students are expected to attend. The centerpiece of this meeting will be the oral and poster presentations of original scientific research from abstracts selected for competitive evaluation. In addition, invited speakers will present plenary state-of-the-art presentations and invited chairpersons will give brief introductions to each scientific session centered on different research topics. A variety of special symposia, primarily organized around several invited presentations will explore in detail the latest findings in specific scientific domains. The meeting will be organized into five different ?tracks,? 1) Clinical Research, 2) Epidemiology, 3) Social and Behavioral Aspects of Epidemiology and Prevention, 4) Basic Science Research, and 5) Health Services and Policy. The ISSTDR meetings provide for immediate exchange of new scientific information. As such we anticipate that this information will ultimately influence policy and programmatic application resulting in both direct and indirect improvement of HIV/AIDS and STD services in clinics, laboratories, and prevention programs. In order to disseminate information, the proceedings of past ISSTDR meetings have been published as supplements to scientific journals. More recently, to increase efficiency and accelerate distribution, the meeting proceedings have been disseminated through online Internet access rather than by printed media. The Seattle meeting program and its proceedings will also be available online and on compact disks for free distribution to meeting participants and other interested parties.
