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·热尔韦-黑格教授得到化学系的支持，在2004年10月举行的题为“生命过程的分子基础”的讲习班上为大约20人提供支助。 该研讨会有三个目标：（1）科学驱动程序，作为大的挑战性问题，为生命过程的分子基础（MBLP）框架;（2）指导CAREER申请人构建其建议书的教育部分的方法;（3）与中档仪器相关的机会的观点。 Gervay-Hague教授在宾夕法尼亚大学的Jeffery Saven教授和橡树岭国家实验室化学科学部主任Michelle Buchanan博士的协助下组织了这次讲习班。 ORNL是研讨会的地点。 讨论者是一个多元化的群体，由以前和现在的职业获奖者组成，他们在化学/生物学界面上有研究项目。 来自资助机构以及欧洲化学学会主席理事会的几名观察员也将出席会议。 研讨会的报告将广泛传播，以征求更多的社区意见。 将目标（2）和（3）列入讲习班是对2004年国家科学基金-瑞士高等教育委员会来访者委员会关于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.
