CIS First North American Primary Immune Deficiency National Conference

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。首届北美初级免疫缺陷(PID)会议将于2010年5月20日至23日在费城举行，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50项旅行补助。学员参加会议是必不可少的，并受到杰出的教育计划和旅行奖励的推动。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。会议的预期规模约为300人，这非常适合让年轻科学家接触该领域的领导者，同时也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这次会议的支持将使免疫学领域的受训人员获得教育、联网和专业发展。临床免疫学会(CIS)将于2010年5月20-23日在美国主办首届北美初级免疫缺陷会议。其目标是首次将一个不断扩大的网络聚集在一起，这个网络由大约300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，促进美国的初级免疫缺陷研究工作。在这笔R13拨款中，我们要求为50名博士后研究员和积极进取的医生提供50项旅行奖励，以参加会议并在口头和海报会议上展示他们精选的摘要。

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 First North American Primary Immune Deficiency (PID) Conference, to be held May 20th-23rd, 2010 in Philadelphia, represents a major new educational initiative of CIS. This R13 grant proposal requests support to provide 50 travel grants to young physicians and scientists working in this field. Trainee participation in the Conference 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 Conference is approximately 300 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 Conference will allow education, networking, and professional advancement of trainees in the field of immunology. The Clinical Immunology Society (CIS) will host the First North American Primary Immune Deficiency Conference in the United States May 20-23, 2010. The goal is to bring together for the first time, an expanding network of about 300 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 50 travel awards for post-doctoral fellows and highly motivated physicians to attend the conference and present their selected abstracts during oral and poster sessions.
