This award will provide support for the 2nd PanAmerican Workshop on Plant Membrane Biology to be held at South Padre Island, May 17-21, 2006. The aim is to provide an opportunity for researchers from the United States and Latin America to exchange the most recent information and ideas relating to the biology of plant membranes, a field that is rapidly advancing through the application of biophysics, cell biology, genetics, and genomics. Another goal is to give young scientists (students and postdocs) the opportunity to give talks and to fully participate in an intimate workshop setting. The first meeting was held in 2003 in Cuernavaca, Mexico and participants from the U.S. and South and Central America were enthusiastic about continuing this meeting every 3rd year. The meeting site has been selected for its proximity to the US-Mexico border and its suitability for an interactive workshop environment. The conference will address topics such as Hormone Responses, Environmental Signal Perception, Nutrient Acquisition, Membranes and Development, Source/Sink Transport, Water Relations, Functional Genomics , Evolution of Transporters, Structure/Function Relationships, and Practical Applications of Membrane Research. Oral and poster presentations will be thematically grouped and sessions will include a representative mixture of experimental and intellectual approaches to important topics in plant biology. Broader Impacts: With the exception of the keynote address, all talks (approximately 20 minutes) will be given by postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students with their mentor's attendance at the meeting mandatory. The organizers will also attempt to include an undergraduate student talk (10 minutes) in each session. Broadening participation of underrepresented minority scientists in the workshop will be emphasized. In this manner, the organizers hope to encourage participation of the younger scientists in a professionally stimulating and diverse setting. The funds from this grant will support participation of young scientists, minority scientists, as well as the researchers from minority serving institutions.

该奖项将为将于 2006 年 5 月 17 日至 21 日在南帕德里岛举行的第二届泛美植物膜生物学研讨会提供支持。其目的是为来自美国和拉丁美洲的研究人员提供一个机会，交流与植物膜生物学相关的最新信息和想法，该领域通过生物物理学、细胞生物学、遗传学和基因组学的应用而迅速发展。另一个目标是为年轻科学家（学生和博士后）提供演讲并充分参与亲密研讨会的机会。第一次会议于 2003 年在墨西哥库埃纳瓦卡举行，来自美国、南美洲和中美洲的与会者热衷于每三年继续举办一次会议。选择会议地点是因为它靠近美国和墨西哥边境，并且适合互动研讨会环境。会议将讨论激素反应、环境信号感知、营养获取、膜与发育、源/汇运输、水关系、功能基因组学、转运蛋白的进化、结构/功能关系和膜研究的实际应用等主题。口头和海报展示将按主题分组，会议将包括植物生物学重要主题的实验和智力方法的代表性组合。更广泛的影响：除主题演讲外，所有演讲（约 20 分钟）均将由博士后研究员和研究生进行，导师必须出席会议。组织者还将尝试在每场会议中加入本科生演讲（10 分钟）。将强调扩大代表性不足的少数族裔科学家对研讨会的参与。组织者希望通过这种方式鼓励年轻科学家在专业刺激和多样化的环境中参与。这笔赠款的资金将支持年轻科学家、少数族裔科学家以及少数族裔服务机构的研究人员的参与。
