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.

该奖项支持第48届，第49届和第50届风河会议的原核生物学年会，将在科罗拉多埃斯蒂斯公园的白杨小屋举行。第48次会议将于2004年6月2日至6日举行。其他两年的日期要到会议召开前12个月才能确定。该会议主要关注原核生物学，是专门讨论这一主题领域的主要年度会议。这些会议的一个显著特点是研究生和博士后学生可以参加，他们的旅费往往有限。为了解决这一问题，该奖项的资金用于提供旅费和奖学金，以便利在原核生物学各领域工作的研究生和博士后学生的出席。公司资金还用于支付3 - 4名杰出科学家（每次会议）作为全体会议发言人的费用。这次会议有助于传播科学信息，并为学生提供一个口头报告的平台。此外，鼓励演讲者和学生互动，交流思想和信息，并在可能的情况下建立长期的互动。由于本次会议的主题涵盖了原核生物研究的广泛领域，因此有大量的跨学科讨论和交流。
