Workshop on Molecular Studies of Evolution

这项奖励将部分资助参与者参加进化论分子研究研讨会的费用。与会者将编写一份文件，对分子尺度上的进化领域进行定义，讨论其重要性，并就如何预测这一领域的未来发展向NSF提供指导。研讨会确定了四个重点领域：分子系统学、理论和计算方面、分子种群生物学和遗传学、基因组-分子进化。斯隆基金会已经同意共同支持这次研讨会。

This award will partially support the participants cost of a workshop in molecular studies in evolution. The participants will produce a document that will give definition to the field of evolution on a molecular scale, discuss its importance, and give guidance to NSF on how to anticipate developments in this area in the future. The workshop has identified four areas of emphasis: molecular systematics, theoretical and computational aspects, molecular population biology and genetics, genome-molecular evolution. The Sloan Foundation has agreed to co-support this workshop.
