Mid-atlantic Microbial Pathogenesis Meeting (mampm), 2017

Use the USDA-NIFA-AFRI funding to help defray costs of the Mid-Atlantic Microbial Pathogenesis Meeting (MAMPM) to be held in Wintergreen, VA from Feb. 12-14, 2017. This biannual meeting covers aspects of microbial pathogenesis, including Food Safety, Animal Health, and Antibiotic Resistance relevant to the USDA. As with past MAMPMs, the USDA funds will be combined with those from other sponsors to cover travel awards to all students (undergraduate, graduate) and postdoctoral fellows attending the meeting. It will also be used to support costs for travel of Keynote speakers and the meeting facilities. The MAMPM is committed to establishing a balanced representation of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities.
