The Tri-Service Microbiome Consortium (TSMC) was recently established to enhance collaboration, coordination, and communication of microbiome research among Department of Defense (DoD) organizations. The TSMC aims to serve as a forum for sharing information related to DoD microbiome research, policy, and applications, to monitor global advances relevant to human health and performance, to identify priority objectives, and to facilitate Tri-Service (Army, Navy, and Air Force) collaborative research. The inaugural TSMC workshop held on 10 to 11 May 2017 brought together almost 100 attendees from across the DoD and several key DoD partners. The meeting outcomes informed attendees of the scope of current DoD microbiome research efforts and identified knowledge gaps, collaborative/leveraging opportunities, research barriers/challenges, and future directions. This report details meeting presentations and discussions with special emphasis on Tri-Service labs' current research activities.
三军微生物组联盟（TSMC）最近成立，旨在加强国防部（DoD）各组织之间微生物组研究的合作、协调与沟通。TSMC旨在成为一个分享与国防部微生物组研究、政策及应用相关信息的论坛，监测与人类健康和表现相关的全球进展，确定优先目标，并促进三军（陆军、海军和空军）的合作研究。2017年5月10日至11日举行的TSMC首届研讨会汇聚了来自国防部各部门及几个关键国防部合作伙伴的近100名与会者。会议成果让与会者了解了国防部目前微生物组研究工作的范围，并确定了知识空白、合作/利用机会、研究障碍/挑战以及未来方向。本报告详细介绍了会议演讲和讨论内容，特别强调了三军实验室当前的研究活动。
