Molecular Basis of Life Processes Workshop; October 28-30, 2004; Oak Ridge, TN

加州大学戴维斯分校的杰奎琳·格维-黑格教授在化学系的支持下，在2004年10月的一个名为“生命过程的分子基础”的研讨会上支持了大约20人。研讨会有三个目标：(1)生命过程分子基础（MBLP）的科学驱动因素，框架为重大挑战问题；(2)如何指导CAREER申请人构建其提案的教育部分；(3)对与中程仪器相关的机会的看法。格维-黑格教授在宾夕法尼亚大学杰弗里·萨文教授和橡树岭国家实验室化学科学部主任米歇尔·布坎南博士的协助下组织了这次研讨会。ORNL是研讨会的地点。讨论者是一群不同的前和现任职业奖获得者，他们在化学/生物界面上有研究项目。来自资助机构的几位观察员以及欧洲化学学会理事会主席CERC3也将出席。讲习班报告将广泛散发，以征求更多的社区意见。将目标(2)和(3)纳入工作坊是响应2004年NSF-CHE访问委员会的建议，即应征求社会各界的意见。

Professor Jacqueline Gervay-Hague of the University of California-Davis is supported by the Chemistry Division to support approximately 20 people at an October 2004 workshop entitled Molecular Basis of Life Processes. The workshop has three objectives: (1) science drivers, framed as grand challenge questions, for the Molecular Basis of Life Processes (MBLP); (2) ways to mentor CAREER applicants on constructing the education section of their proposals; (3) views on opportunities associated with mid-range instrumentation. Professor Gervay-Hague is assisted in the organization of the workshop by Professor Jeffery Saven of the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Michelle Buchanan, director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Chemical Sciences Division. ORNL is the location for the workshop. Discussants are a diverse group of former and current CAREER awardees having research programs at the chemistry/biology interface. Several observers from funding agencies as well as from the European council of chemical society presidents, CERC3, will also attend. The workshop report will be widely disseminated for additional community comment. The inclusion of objectives (2) and (3) in the workshop is responsive to recommendations by the 2004 NSF-CHE Committee of Visitors that the views of the community be sought.
