This award will provide travel funds to allow several graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty working in U.S. institutions to attend an international conference on plant growth and development in Tarragona, Spain from June 28-July 2, 2010. Plant growth substances (also referred to as plant hormones) regulate almost all aspects of growth and development, beginning with seed germination through the growth of the parent plant to the development of the flower and the formation of seeds. The scientific program includes 80 invited speakers from 20 countries, each a leader in his or her respective field, together with additional investigators who were selected as speakers after the submission of Scientific Abstracts. Over 500 poster presentations will be made. Intellectual Merit. This important conference will be an opportunity for young investigators working in the area of plant hormones to be exposed to the latest, ground-breaking research in the field. This is the only international meeting of its kind, devoted entirely to plant hormones, and it will stimulate research on plant growth substances in the U. S. These molecules have long been established as important for U.S. agriculture, and our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of their action is essential for the long-term sustainability of agriculture. Broader Impacts. This award will provide an opportunity for young scientists to establish meaningful relationships with their counterparts from elsewhere in the world. These interactions could include the setting up of collaborative research program that will have a lasting impact on the careers of these junior scientists. Applications from individuals from minority-serving institutions and those with disadvantaged status are especially encouraged. A committee of three IPGSA Council members will be responsible for evaluating applicants.

该奖项将提供旅行资金，以允许几名研究生，博士后研究员和在美国机构工作的初级教师参加2010年6月28日至7月2日，西班牙塔拉贡（Tarragona）的国际植物生长和开发会议。植物生长物质（也称为植物荷尔蒙（也称为植物荷尔蒙），几乎是通过播种机的生长和播种机构成的播种机的生长，从事植物的生长几乎所有方面的播种机构成了播种机的播种机的成长。该科学计划包括来自20个国家 /地区的80名受邀演讲者，每个人都在他或她各自的领域中，以及在提交科学摘要后被选为演讲者的其他调查员。 将进行500多个海报演示。智力优点。这次重要的会议将为在植物激素领域工作的年轻调查人员提供一个机会，以接触该领域最新的开创性研究。这是同类国际会议，完全致力于植物激素，它将刺激对美国植物生长物质的研究，这些分子长期以来对美国农业很重要，我们对其行动的细胞和分子基础的理解对于农业的长期可持续性至关重要。更广泛的影响。该奖项将为年轻科学家提供与来自世界其他地方的同行建立有意义的关系的机会。这些互动可能包括制定协作研究计划，该计划将对这些初级科学家的职业产生持久影响。特别鼓励来自少数派服务机构和处于弱势群体的人的申请。由三名IPGSA理事会成员组成的委员会将负责评估申请人。
