Recent Advances in HIV Research

项目总结/摘要 自1998年以来，美国国立卫生研究院资助的艾滋病研究中心（CFAR）每年举办一次为期一天的国家艾滋病研究中心会议。 CFAR科学专题讨论会与CFAR主任/行政人员年度会议同时举行。的 CFAR科学研讨会的目的是在一个公共论坛上介绍最近的“前沿”进展， 艾滋病毒研究，平均参加人数约为250-300人。只要有可能，主题将反映 与OAR艾滋病毒/艾滋病优先事项有关的问题。会议的私密规模促进了以下机会： 年轻人和更资深的研究人员之间的互动，这在更大的年度会议上是无法获得的。 与艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的科学会议。过去十年的一个关键创新是增加了一个同行 为参加早期调查的人员举办辅导讲习班。会议地点轮换， 每年都有不同的CFAR网站。这为场地提供了地理多样性，并为 比类似的研究研讨会更广泛的参与者。与过去一样，每个托管CFAR站点都有 灵活设计会议的科学议程，以满足当前的利益和需要， CFAR科学界。每个主办CFAR将确保有来自 不同背景的选择和组委会的组成，发言人，邀请 参与者，特别是从中获得旅行奖学金的选定的早期研究人员 格兰特. 演讲者是从各个NIH资助的艾滋病研究中心的领导层中挑选出来的，他们的科学 成员，并从国家和国际公认的研究机构。除了有 参与CFAR的主任和该领域的受邀领导人、年度全国会议的其余参与者 CFAR专题讨论会是根据具体标准选择的。首先优先考虑年轻的调查人员， 从NIH资助的CFAR项目获得发展资金;第二优先于年轻人 在艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究方面具有明显潜力的研究人员;第三优先是其他高级研究人员 从事艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究。在所有情况下，妇女和来自代表性不足的族裔群体的个人都被 通过有针对性的广告和旅游奖学金鼓励参加。儿童保育服务由以下机构提供： 主办CFAR和研讨会的网络广播可供感兴趣的研究人员使用， 参加这个论坛

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Since 1998, the NIH-funded Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR) have hosted an annual one day National CFAR Scientific Symposium in conjunction with the annual CFAR Directors’/Administrators’ meeting. The purpose of the CFAR scientific symposium is to present, in a public forum, recent “cutting edge” advances in HIV research for an average attendance of approximately 250-300. Whenever possible, topics will reflect issues related to the OAR HIV/AIDS Priorities. The intimate size of the meeting promotes opportunities for interactions between young and more senior investigators that would not be available at the larger annual scientific meetings related to HIV/AIDS. A key innovation in the last ten years is the addition of a peer mentoring workshop for attending early-stage investigators. The meeting location rotates so that it is hosted each year by a different CFAR site. This provides geographic diversity for the venue and opportunities for a broader array of participants than for similar research symposia. As in the past, each hosting CFAR site has the flexibility to design the scientific agenda of the conference to meet the current interests and needs of the CFAR scientific community. Each hosting CFAR will ensure that there is representation of individuals from diverse backgrounds across the selection and the makeup of the organizing committee, speakers, invited participants, and, in particular, the selected early-stage investigators receiving travel scholarships from this grant. Speakers are selected from the various NIH-funded Centers for AIDS Research leadership, their scientific membership, and from nationally and internationally recognized research institutions. In addition to the participating CFAR Directors and invited leaders in the field, the remaining participants for the annual National CFAR Symposia are chosen based on specific criteria. First preference is given to young investigators who have received developmental funds from an NIH-funded CFAR program; second preference to young investigators with demonstrable potential in HIV/AIDS research; third preference is to other senior investigators engaged in HIV/AIDS research. In all cases women and individuals from underrepresented ethnic groups are encouraged to attend through targeted advertising and travel scholarships. Access to childcare is provided by the hosting CFAR and webcasts of the symposia are available for interested investigators who are not able to attend.
