2nd North American meeting by CIS devoted to primary immune deficiency.

描述(申请人提供)：临床免疫学学会(CIS)成立于1986年，致力于促进临床免疫学的科学和实践的发展。独联体的使命是促进临床免疫学方面的教育、转化研究和新的治疗方法，以促进对免疫和炎症性疾病患者的卓越护理。2012年独联体年会：原发免疫缺陷疾病北美会议将于2012年5月17日至20日在芝加哥举行，这是独联体一项重大的新教育倡议。这项R13拨款提案要求提供支持，为从事该领域工作的年轻医生和科学家提供30项旅行补助。学员参加年会是必不可少的，并由杰出的教育项目和旅游奖励推动。旅游获奖者的教育机会包括出色的全体会议、最先进的研讨会和早餐座谈会。受训者将在口头、摘要和海报会议中担任主讲人。年会的预期规模约为500人，这非常适合让年轻科学家接触该领域的领导者，同时为受训人员提供在初级免疫缺陷方面的主要会议上展示他们的工作的机会。美国国立卫生研究院对年会的支持将使免疫学领域的受训者获得教育、网络和专业发展。 与公共卫生相关：临床免疫学会将于2012年5月17日至20日在美国主办2012年独联体年会：原发免疫缺陷疾病北美会议。其目标是将一个不断扩大的网络聚集在一起，该网络由大约500名老牌和新上任的内科科学家组成，以培育一个全新的场所，促进美国在初级免疫缺陷方面的工作。在这笔R13拨款中，我们申请资助30名博士后研究员参加会议并在口头会议上展示他们精选的摘要的旅行奖励。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Clinical Immunology Society (CIS), established in 1986, is devoted to fostering developments in the science and practice of clinical immunology. The mission of CIS is to facilitate education, translational research and novel approaches to therapy in clinical immunology to promote excellence in the care of patients with immunologic and inflammatory disorders. The 2012 CIS Annual Meeting: Primary Immune Deficiency Diseases North American Conference, to be held May 17-20, 2012 in Chicago, represents a major new educational initiative of CIS. This R13 grant proposal requests support to provide 30 travel grants to young physicians and scientists working in this field. Trainee participation in th Annual Meeting is essential and is fostered by an outstanding educational program and travel awards. Educational opportunities for travel awardees include outstanding plenary sessions, state-of-the-art workshops, and breakfast symposia sessions. Trainees will be active presenters in oral abstract and poster sessions. The anticipated size of the Annual Meeting is approximately 500 participants, which is ideally suited to expose young scientists to leaders in the field, yet provide opportunities for trainees to present their work at a premier conference in primary immune deficiency. Support from the NIH for the Annual Meeting will allow education, networking, and professional advancement of trainees in the field of immunology. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Clinical Immunology Society (CIS) will host the 2012 CIS Annual Meeting: Primary Immune Deficiency Diseases North American Conference in the United States May 17- 20, 2012. The goal is to bring together an expanding network of about 500 established and new physician scientists, to foster an entirely new venue for promoting work in Primary Immune Deficiency in the United States. In this R13 grant, we request funding for 30 travel awards for post-doctoral fellows to attend the conference and present their selected abstracts during oral sessions.
