2011 Chemical & Biological Terrorism Defense Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and

描述(由申请人提供)： 该提案要求部分支持将于2011年3月19日至20日和3月20日至25日分别在加利福尼亚州文图拉举行的2011年戈登研究研讨会(GRS)和2011年化学和生物恐怖主义防御戈登研究会议(GRC)。会议的广泛和长期目标体现在2011年全球资源中心的主题中，即“基础研究作为未来对策发展的基础”。在开发防御系统，特别是医学对策和探测系统以应对生物或化学威胁方面，存在许多挑战。本次会议将集中讨论一系列主要的基本研究主题，在这些主题中，新的研究发现应导致制定应对生物和化学威胁的对策或防御措施。这两次会议的具体目标将是召集全球研究报告的50名与会者和全球研究中心的135名与会者，预计其中12人将成为讨论领导者，47人将作为演讲者，代表新的关键研究领域，以便在根据基本研究发现综合防范化学或生物恐怖主义的健康影响的新方法方面实现“飞跃”。在GRC之前，为期两天的GRS项目将以学生和博士后研究员为重点，将有一个主题演讲、两个口头陈述会议和两个海报会议。GRC主要计划将有一个主旨演讲环节和八个科学环节，重点关注合成生物学、宿主-病原体相互作用、病原体和毒素毒力因子、尖端化学防御进展，以及发现和开发生物和化学威胁防御的广谱平台技术方法，这些技术方法既利用并整合了基础研究应用中的最新进展。除了口头陈述外，还将提供充足的海报会议机会。这项申请的意义在于，戈登化学和生物恐怖主义防御研究会议为这一“小众”领域的研究人员提供了一个密切互动和交流研究信息的独特机会。这项应用与健康相关的是，化学和生物恐怖主义防御研究的最终目标是为健康干预提供新的机会，无论是药物、疫苗、诊断还是检测系统，以帮助保护美国人口，在这些毒剂发动恐怖袭击的情况下。 项目说明： 这项应用与健康相关的是，化学和生物恐怖主义防御研究的最终目标是为健康干预提供新的机会，无论是药物、疫苗、诊断还是检测系统，以帮助保护美国人口，在这些毒剂发动恐怖袭击的情况下。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for the joint 2011 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) and the 2011 Chemical and Biological Terrorism Defense Gordon Research Conference (GRC), to be held in Ventura, CA, March 19-20 and March 20-25, 2011, respectively. The broad and long term goal of the conference, as embodied in the theme for the 2011 GRC, is "Basic Research as the Foundation for Future Countermeasure Development". There are numerous challenges in developing defenses, particularly medical countermeasures and detection systems, to address biological or chemical threats. This Conference will focus on an array of primarily basic research topics in which new research discoveries should lead to developing countermeasures or defenses for biological and chemical threats. The specific aims of these two meetings will be to convene a total of 50 participants for the GRS and 135 participants for the GRC, of which it is anticipated that 12 will be discussion leaders and 47 will be speakers to represent new and critical areas of research, to allow the "leap ahead" in new approaches to integrating preparedness for the health impacts of chemical or biological terrorism based on basic research discoveries. The two-day GRS program focusing on students and post-doctoral fellows that precedes the GRC will have a keynote address, two oral presentation sessions, and two poster sessions. The main GRC program will have a keynote address session and eight scientific sessions that focus on synthetic biology, host-pathogen interactions, pathogen and toxin virulence factors, cutting edge chemical defense advances, and broad spectrum platform technology approaches to discovering and developing defenses for biological and chemical threats that both leverage and integrate recent advances in basic research applications. In addition to the oral presentations, ample opportunities for poster sessions will be provided. The significance of this application is that the Gordon Research Conference on Chemical and Biological Terrorism Defense provides a unique opportunity for close interaction and exchange of research information among of researchers in this somewhat "niche" area. The health relatedness of this application is that the ultimate goal of research in chemical and biological terrorism defense is to provide new opportunities for health interventions, whether they are drugs, vaccines, diagnostics, or detection systems, to help protect the population of the United States in the event of a terrorist attack with these agents. Project Narrative: The health relatedness of this application is that the ultimate goal of research in chemical and biological terrorism defense is to provide new opportunities for health interventions, whether they be drugs, vaccines, diagnostics, or detection systems, to help protect the population of the United States in the event of a terrorist attack with these agents.
