This project will facilitate the participation of young scientists, ranging from exceptional undergraduates to beginning faculty investigators, in a meeting on "Ribosome Synthesis" to be held August 16-20, 2006 at the Airlie Conference Center in Virginia (http://www.ribosomesynthesis2006.org/). The ribosome is central to the growth and maintenance of all cells, from those of unicellular bacteria to complex multicellular eukaryotes. Ribosomes are complex macromolecular machines that use the instructions in the genetic code to align and polymerize amino acids into protein. The formation of ribosomes requires that the 60 to 80 RNA and protein components are produced in the correct amounts and assembled into the correct special configuration. All organisms have evolved elaborate machineries that assist and control the orderly formation of ribosomes; the organization and function of this machinery is incompletely understood. Nevertheless, it is already apparent that a number of the components of this machinery also have important functional roles in development and regulation of growth. The purpose of this meeting is to afford senior scientists, as well as students and beginning investigators, the opportunity to achieve an overview of ribosome biogenesis and its relation to cell growth. Equally important, the meeting will provide an impetus to investigators to focus and structure their research efforts and maximize their contributions in areas needing attention. The project will have major impact on the recruitment and success of young investigators and aid their integration into the field.

这个项目将促进年轻科学家的参与，从优秀的本科生到刚开始的教师研究人员，将于2006年8月16日至20日在弗吉尼亚州的Airlie会议中心举行的“核糖体合成”会议（http://www.ribosomesynthesis2006.org/）。核糖体是所有细胞生长和维持的核心，从单细胞细菌到复杂的多细胞真核生物。核糖体是一种复杂的大分子机器，它利用遗传密码中的指令将氨基酸排列并聚合成蛋白质。核糖体的形成需要以正确的数量产生60到80种RNA和蛋白质成分，并将其组装成正确的特殊结构。所有的生物体都进化出了复杂的机制来帮助和控制核糖体的有序形成；这一机制的组织和功能尚不完全清楚。然而，已经很明显的是，这一机制的一些组成部分在发育和调节生长方面也具有重要的功能作用。这次会议的目的是为资深科学家、学生和初学研究者提供一个机会，让他们对核糖体的生物发生及其与细胞生长的关系有一个全面的了解。同样重要的是，会议将推动研究人员集中和组织他们的研究工作，并在需要关注的领域最大限度地发挥他们的贡献。该项目将对青年研究人员的征聘和成功产生重大影响，并帮助他们融入该领域。
