This grant will support a symposium entitled "Integration of Structural and Functional Genomics" at Iowa State University (ISU) to be held on 22-25 September, 2005. The symposium is part of a series of symposia held over the past 10 years at ISU in the areas of Growth Factor and Signal Transduction. The purpose of the symposium is to gather together a wide variety of researchers involved in investigation of genome structure/function using molecular and computational biology tools, and statistical methods. With recent, rapid advancements in genome sequences of many vertebrates, the time is appropriate for more broad comparative approaches in the study of genome structure and function. The PIs have recruited 18 outstanding researchers in functional genomic analyses for the plenary addresses including four well-regarded female investigators. This symposium will open up discussion of current research in this field and will help to focus attention on important new directions for future research. There will be plenary talks, a poster session for associated work to be presented and time allotted for informal discussion sessions and workshops. A significant effort is outlined to include participation of students from under-represented groups. The university will use its connections with New Mexico State University and with the Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS) to ensure minority student involvement. Travel grants funded in part by this award will be available to students and junior faculty with special efforts made to support applicants from under-represented groups. Funds from this grant also will be used to defray travel costs for invited speakers.

这笔赠款将用于支持将于2005年9月22-25日在爱荷华州立大学(ISU)举行的题为“结构和功能基因组学的整合”的研讨会。这次研讨会是过去10年来在执行支助大学举办的关于生长因子和信号转导领域的一系列研讨会的一部分。研讨会的目的是聚集参与使用分子和计算生物学工具以及统计方法研究基因组结构/功能的各种研究人员。随着最近许多脊椎动物基因组序列的快速进步，现在是时候采用更广泛的比较方法来研究基因组结构和功能了。私人投资机构为全体会议的发言招募了18名功能基因组分析方面的杰出研究人员，其中包括4名声望很高的女调查人员。这次研讨会将开启对这一领域当前研究的讨论，并将有助于关注未来研究的重要新方向。将举行全体会议，介绍相关工作的海报会议，并分配时间进行非正式讨论和讲习班。概述了一项重大努力，以包括来自代表性不足群体的学生的参与。该大学将利用其与新墨西哥州立大学以及农业、自然资源和相关科学领域(MANRRS)的少数族裔学生的联系，确保少数族裔学生的参与。部分由该奖项资助的旅行补助金将提供给学生和初级教职员工，并特别努力支持代表人数不足的群体的申请者。这笔赠款的资金还将用于支付受邀演讲者的旅费。
