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月题为《生命过程的分子基础》的研讨会上为大约20人提供了支持。讲习班有三个目标：(1)作为重大挑战问题的科学驱动因素，用于生命过程的分子基础(MBLP)；(2)指导职业申请者构建其建议书的教育部分的方法；(3)对与中端仪器相关的机会的看法。宾夕法尼亚大学的杰弗里·塞文教授和橡树岭国家实验室化学科学部主任米歇尔·布坎南博士协助格尔维-黑格教授组织了研讨会。ORNL是研讨会的地点。讨论者是一群不同的前职业获奖者和现任职业获奖者，他们拥有化学/生物界面的研究项目。来自资助机构以及欧洲化学学会主席理事会CERC3的几名观察员也将出席。研讨会报告将广泛分发，以征求社区的更多意见。将目标(2)和(3)列入讲习班是对2004年国家科学基金会--CHE访问者委员会提出的征求社区意见的建议的回应。

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.
