Wind River Conferences on Procaryotic Biology

该奖项支持将在科罗拉多州埃斯特斯公园的Aspen Lodge举行的风河原核生物生物学会议第48、49和50届年会。第四十八次会议将于2004年6月2日至6日举行.其他两年的日期将在会议前12个月确定。该会议主要涉及原核生物的生物学，是致力于这一主题领域的每年举行的重要会议。这些会议的一个重要特点是对研究生和博士后学生开放，他们的旅行资金往往有限。为了解决这一问题，该奖项的资金用于提供旅行和支持奖学金，以便利在原核生物生物学的各个领域工作的研究生和博士后学生的入学。公司资金还用于支付3-4名杰出科学家作为全体演讲人的费用(每次会议)。会议有助于传播科学信息，并为学生提供口头报告的平台。此外，鼓励演讲者和学生进行互动和交流思想和信息，并在可能的情况下建立长期互动。由于本次会议的议题涉及原核生物研究的广泛领域，因此有大量跨学科的讨论和交流。

This award supports the 48 th , 49 th and 50 th annual meetings of the Wind River Conference on Procaryotic Biology, to be held at the Aspen Lodge, Estes Park, Colorado. The 48 th meeting will be held on June 2-6, 2004. The dates for the other two years will not be determined until 12 months prior to the meetings. The conference is primarily concerned with the biology of procaryotes, and is the major, annually occurring meeting devoted to this subject area. A significant feature of these meetings is their accessibility to graduate and post-doctoral students, whose travel funds are frequently limited. To address this problem, funds from the award are used to provide travel and support scholarships to facilitate the attendance of graduate and post-doctoral students working in the various areas that comprise procaryotic biology. Corporate funds are also used to provide expenses for 3 - 4 distinguished scientists (per meeting) as plenary speakers. The meeting helps disseminate science information and provides a platform for students to give oral presentations. Moreover the speakers and students are encouraged to interact and exchange ideas and information and when possible to build long-term interactions. Since the topics of interest of this conference span the broad range of procaryotic research, there is a great deal of cross discipline discussion and communication.
