This award supports graduate and undergraduate student and young faculty participation in the International Conference "Life in the Cold 2004". The Conference will take place 25-31 July, 2004 on a ship traveling through the Inside Passage from Vancouver, BC to Seward, Alaska. This will be the 12th meeting in the series of Life in the Cold conferences begun in 1959. This international gathering of scientists will share their research and ideas on topics related to hibernation and torpor cryobiology, thermoregulation, polar biology, migration and other aspects of over-wintering in animals. The conference will discuss approaches including molecular, cellular, organ, and organismal physiology and biochemistry, functional morphology, biomechanics and biophysics, ecology and evolutionary biology to understand physiological processes and traits of organisms that are adapted to survive in cold environments. The committee selecting recipients of conference support will emphasize the participation of underrepresented minorities and women in the workshop. Students and young faculty will have the opportunity to present their research results to a broad audience of arctic and Antarctic scientists.

该奖项支持研究生和本科生以及青年教师参加“2004年寒冷中的生活”国际会议。会议将于2004年7月25日至31日在一艘从不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华到阿拉斯加州苏厄德的船上举行。这将是1959年开始的“寒冷中的生活”系列会议的第12次会议。这次国际科学家聚会将分享他们关于冬眠和冬眠低温生物学，体温调节，极地生物学，迁徙和动物越冬其他方面的研究和想法。会议将讨论包括分子，细胞，器官和有机体生理学和生物化学，功能形态学，生物力学和生物物理学，生态学和进化生物学在内的方法，以了解适应在寒冷环境中生存的生物体的生理过程和特征。选择会议支助接受者的委员会将强调代表人数不足的少数群体和妇女参加讲习班。学生和年轻的教师将有机会向北极和南极科学家的广大观众展示他们的研究成果。
