The 2010 Rustbelt RNA Meeting (RRM) will be held October 22-23, 2010 at the Crown Plaza City Center in Cleveland, OH. The intellectual objective of the RRM is to provide an inexpensive, high caliber, interdisciplinary meeting for RNA researchers in the Midwest. The field of RNA structure, function, and processing is growing at a rapid pace and RNA has been shown to be intimately involved in many important biological phenomena such as carcinogenesis and development beyond its obvious prominent role in transcription and translation. At the same time the methods used to study RNA are becoming more and more diverse ranging from synthetic and physical chemistry over biochemistry, genetics, and biophysical approaches all the way to computational methods. Consequently, research groups need a forum where they can hear and discuss new results and techniques in all areas of RNA research that can result in furthering an individual lab?s aims. The size and organization of the meeting has proven to be an excellent environment for active discussions between research groups, including those between principal investigators, principal investigators and trainees, as well as between trainees themselves. Such interactions are more difficult at larger national meetings. Due to the success and popularity of the RRM, this meeting includes research groups from Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and other adjoining states.The broader impact of the RRM is in trainee and junior faculty development. The RRM strongly emphasizes trainee participation. The RRM features graduate and undergraduate student participation, from institutions ranging from large research-intensive universities to small, primarily undergraduate colleges. In addition to offering opportunities for interactions with Principal Investigators and other trainees, the RRM provides invaluable experience presenting research in an educational and supportive atmosphere. Importantly, trainees account for the vast majority (~ 90%) of both poster and oral presentations. Such presentations instill confidence in the trainees and inspire trainees in the audience to present their results orally in the future. To encourage the speakers further, prizes are awarded for outstanding trainee presentations. The smaller size of the RRM also benefits trainee poster presenters because of the greater attention paid to them by principal investigators. Finally, the RRM is an excellent forum for junior investigators to showcase their emerging research programs.

2010年锈带RNA会议(RRM)将于2010年10月22日至23日在俄亥俄州克利夫兰的皇冠假日城市中心举行。RRM的学术目标是为中西部的RNA研究人员提供一个廉价、高水平的跨学科会议。RNA的结构、功能和加工领域正在迅速发展，RNA已经被证明除了在转录和翻译中发挥明显的重要作用外，还密切参与了许多重要的生物现象，如癌症的发生和发育。与此同时，用于研究RNA的方法也变得越来越多样化，从合成和物理化学到生物化学、遗传学和生物物理方法，一直到计算方法。因此，研究小组需要一个论坛，在那里他们可以听到和讨论核糖核酸研究所有领域的新结果和新技术，从而促进单个实验室的发展--S的目标。会议的规模和组织已证明是研究小组之间进行积极讨论的良好环境，包括首席调查员、首席调查员和受训人员之间以及受训人员本身之间的讨论。在规模更大的国家会议上，这样的互动更加困难。由于RRM的成功和受欢迎，这次会议包括来自印第安纳州、密歇根州、宾夕法尼亚州、印第安纳州、伊利诺伊州、肯塔基州和其他毗邻州的研究小组。RRM的更广泛影响是在实习生和初级教师的发展方面。区域资源管理非常强调学员的参与。RRM的特点是研究生和本科生的参与，从大型研究密集型大学到以本科为主的小型学院。除了提供与首席调查人员和其他受训人员互动的机会外，RRM还提供了在教育和支持的氛围中介绍研究的宝贵经验。重要的是，学员占海报和口头演示的绝大多数(~90%)。这样的演讲给学员注入了信心，并激励了观众中的学员在未来口头展示他们的成果。为了进一步鼓励演讲者，优秀的实习生演讲将被授予奖项。RRM的规模较小也有利于实习生海报主持人，因为主要调查人员对他们给予了更多关注。最后，RRM是初级研究人员展示他们新兴研究计划的一个很好的论坛。
