American Society for Virology Meeting- Jr Investigator Support

美国病毒学会（ASV）寻求延长多年的整体拨款，以提供部分支持 为博士前学生，博士后研究员，和本科病毒学的美国教师前往， 参加2021 - 2025年度ASV科学会议。ASV 2021会议将于7月17日至21日举行 与麦吉尔当地主持人一起在加拿大魁北克蒙特利尔会议宫举行 大学;随后的4次会议将在美国举行。旅行奖的颁发重点是 妇女和代表性不足的少数民族病毒学家的参与，目标是使未来的病毒学受益 research.博士前和博士后奖金各为500美元，教师奖金各为1,000美元，共计 一年一万四千美元。ASV旅游奖励委员会的成员将评估申请。前和 博士后获奖者是根据他们的工作摘要选择的，以便在研讨会或海报上展示 sessions.教师是根据一篇文章选择的，该文章解释了参加ASV会议对他们的益处。 教学（和研究，如果适用）。除了向会员宣布旅游奖励计划外， 将其推广到约100所美国本科院校，主要服务于代表性不足的人群。后 要求获奖者进行会议评估，并以匿名方式获得，重点是他们如何受益 从参与。ASV会议为美国年轻科学家提供了一个会面和互动的机会 在专题讨论会、讲习班、海报会议和特别卫星专题讨论会上直接与高级病毒学家接触 报道病毒研究的最新进展。这些研究包括对人类、动物、 植物，无脊椎动物和原核生物，范围涵盖病毒遗传学，复制，结构， 致病机理，生态学，进化和出现，疾病控制，病毒-宿主相互作用，以及新的 技术. ASV是北美最大的一般病毒学会议， 在整个病毒世界中，思想和技术的相互交流。除了科学 在过去的10年里，会议为学员和教师提供了机会， 本科生与网络，并接受指导，从病毒学家在学术界的经验， 研究和主要是本科院校，工业，政府研究，出版，临床 病毒学和其他科学事业，通过职业，教育和交流研讨会和午餐 与资深科学家讨论。ASV年会对美国在公共卫生方面的努力产生积极影响 和研究来有效地对抗病毒性疾病。ASV积极并成功地增加了 演讲者和参与者的多样性，它具有促进未来发展的强烈精神气质 通过充分的机会积极展示他们的研究并参与ASV，培养一代病毒学家。 旅游奖励的学员和教师的本科生是基础的这一使命的ASV。 .

The American Society for Virology (ASV) seeks renewal of a multi-year block grant to provide partial support for predoctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and U.S. teachers of undergraduate virology to travel to and participate in the annual ASV scientific meetings in 2021-2025. The ASV 2021 meeting will be held July 17-21 at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal, Quebec, Canada, in conjunction with local hosts from McGill University; the subsequent 4 meetings will be held at US venues. Travel awards are awarded with emphasis on participation by women and underrepresented minority virologists, with the goal of benefiting future virology research. Pre- and postdoctoral awards will be $500 each, and teacher awards $1,000 each, for a total of $14,000 per year. Members of the ASV Travel Award Committee will evaluate the applications. Pre- and postdoctoral awardees are selected based on an abstract of their work for presentation in workshops or poster sessions. Teachers are selected based on an essay explaining the benefit of ASV meeting attendance to their teaching (and research, if applicable). In addition to announcing the travel award program to its members, ASV promotes it to ~100 U.S. undergraduate institutions serving primarily underrepresented populations. Post- meeting evaluations are required of awardees and obtained anonymously, focusing on how they benefited from participation. The ASV meeting provides an opportunity for U.S. junior scientists to meet and interact directly with senior virologists in symposia, workshops, poster sessions, and special satellite symposia covering the most recent developments in virus research. These include studies of viruses of humans, animals, plants, invertebrates and prokaryotes, and the scope spans topics such as virus genetics, replication, structure, pathogenesis, ecology, evolution and emergence, disease control, virus-host interactions, and new technologies. The ASV is the largest general virology meeting in North America, enhancing opportunities for cross-fertilization of ideas and technologies across the entirety of the virus world. In addition to scientific sessions, over the last 10 years the meeting has included opportunities for trainees and teachers of undergraduate students to network with and receive mentoring from virologists with experience in academia in both research and primarily undergraduate institutions, industry, government research, publishing, clinical virology, and other scientific careers through career, education, and communication workshops and lunch discussion tables with senior scientists. The ASV annual meeting positively impacts U.S. efforts in public health and research needed to effectively combat viral diseases. The ASV has actively and successfully increased the diversity of speakers and participants, and it has a strong ethos of promoting the development of the next generation of virologists through ample opportunities to actively present their research and participate in ASV. Travel awards to trainees and teachers of undergraduate students are the foundation of this mission of ASV. .
