This award will support US participation in the IXth Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) - International Biology Symposium. The funds will provide partial travel support for about 25 US participants to travel to Curitiba, Brazil to attend the Symposium. The award will support the participation of under-represented groups, young scientists, and students who will be presenting oral and/or posters at the Symposium, and who are actively involved in research related to the symposium theme. The SCAR Symposium brings together polar scientists from around the world to discuss the latest research on the biology of Antarctica. This symposium is held every four years and will be in South America for the first time. The Symposium brings together the full spectrum of Antarctic biologists, from senior investigators to students, and provides an opportunity to present and discuss the most recent results from research on Antarctic organisms and ecosystems. These studies include research on Antarctic organisms and investigations of polar linkages to global and local climate events. Presentations will focus on studies of plants, animals, microbes and vertebrates, using molecular as well as ecosystem level approaches. Sessions are organized around the following themes: Evolution and Adaptation; Ecological Processes; Monitoring and Management; Patterns and Processes in Biodiversity; Molecular Approaches to Biodiversity; and Conservation Evolution and Biodiversity. Many national and international meetings have limited sessions on these topics, but there are no others that are solely focused on Antarctic biology.

该奖项将支持美国参加第九届南极研究科学委员会（SCAR）-国际生物学研讨会。这些资金将为约25名美国与会者前往巴西库里蒂巴参加研讨会提供部分差旅支持。该奖项将支持代表性不足的团体，青年科学家和学生的参与，他们将在研讨会上发表口头和/或海报，并积极参与与研讨会主题相关的研究。SCAR研讨会汇集了来自世界各地的极地科学家，讨论南极生物学的最新研究。该研讨会每四年举行一次，将首次在南美洲举行。专题讨论会汇集了从高级研究人员到学生的所有南极生物学家，并提供了一个机会，介绍和讨论南极生物和生态系统研究的最新成果。这些研究包括对南极生物的研究以及对极地与全球和地方气候事件之间联系的调查。演讲将侧重于植物，动物，微生物和脊椎动物的研究，使用分子以及生态系统水平的方法。会议围绕以下主题组织：进化和适应;生态过程;监测和管理;生物多样性的模式和过程;生物多样性的分子方法;和保护进化和生物多样性。许多国家和国际会议就这些主题举行了有限的会议，但没有其他会议专门讨论南极生物学。
