This is an award to support travel for a U.S. delegation of one senior and three junior scientists to a workshop on "Phenotypic and Developmental Plasticity," to be held in Trivandrum, Kerala, India, from December 16-20, 2007. The topic of the meeting is timely and highly appropriate to the current state of the field in developmental and organismal biology. The meeting brings together 50-55 scientists of highly disparate backgrounds in order to establish how to effectively approach and conceptualize the multifaceted problems in phenotypic and developmental plasticity. It is anticipated that general and common features of phenotypic and developmental plasticity across disciplinary boundaries will come to light as well as some discipline-specific aspects, and that collaborative efforts leading to future requests for research support from the National Science Foundation will be stimulated. The U.S. graduate students have been chosen for their research interests and activities in the areas of phenotypic and developmental plasticity and are expected to greatly benefit from intensive scientific discussion with an array of highly regarded, active, and internationally connected scientists and by publication of their research findings in the conference proceedings. This proposal is co-funded by the Evolution of Developmental Systems Program in the Division of Integrative and Organismal Systems and by the Office of International Science & Engineering.

这一奖项是为了支持一个由一名资深科学家和三名初级科学家组成的美国代表团参加将于2007年12月16日至20日在印度喀拉拉邦Trivandrum举行的“表型和发育可塑性”研讨会的旅费。这次会议的议题是及时的，非常适合发展和生物生物学领域的当前状况。这次会议聚集了50-55名背景迥异的科学家，以确定如何有效地处理和概念化表型和发育可塑性中的多方面问题。预计将揭示跨学科边界的表型和发育可塑性的一般和共同特征以及一些学科特有的方面，并将鼓励导致未来要求国家科学基金会提供研究支持的合作努力。美国研究生被选中是因为他们在表型和发育可塑性领域的研究兴趣和活动，预计他们将从与一系列备受尊敬、活跃和具有国际联系的科学家的密集科学讨论中受益匪浅，并通过在会议记录中公布他们的研究成果而受益匪浅。该提案由综合与组织系统分部的发展系统进化计划和国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。
