This project is to provide partial financial support for up to 15 United States graduate students to present their work at the 15th International Congress on Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions (15th IC-MPMI), which will be held at Kyoto International Conference Center, Kyoto, Japan, on July 29-August 2, 2012. For the past 30 years, this meeting series has been the premier forum for announcing and presenting the most compelling scientific discoveries about the molecular events that mediate the interaction of plants and microbes. The meeting content includes both pathogenic and symbiotic associations and covers oomycete, fungal, bacterial, viral, and nematode pathogens; nitrogen-fixing and mycorrhizal symbioses; and even some unusual associations, such as parasitic plant-plant interactions. Awardees will be chosen by an ad hoc committee consisting of the Principal Investigator of the project and the United States members of the Board of Directors of the IS-MPMI based on the quality of the science reflected in the abstract, a statement regarding how attending this congress will impact the applicant's research and/or career, and the applicant's curriculum vitae. Ethnic and gender diversity and disabilities will be considered to achieve a broad and balanced awardee portfolio. Past meetings of this series have fostered intensive exchange of scientific information and collaborations across a broad range of research topics and geographic locations, and have provided opportunities for graduate students to present their work and to network with leading scientists. As such, this meeting series has played a major role in the buildup of fundamental knowledge in the area of plant-microbe interactions and in the training of the next generation of scientists.

该项目将为最多15名美国研究生提供部分资金支持，以在第15届分子植物-微生物相互作用国际大会（第15届IC-MPMI）上介绍他们的工作，该大会将于2012年7月29日至8月2日在日本京都的京都国际会议中心举行。在过去的30年里，这个会议系列一直是宣布和展示关于介导植物和微生物相互作用的分子事件的最引人注目的科学发现的首要论坛。会议内容包括病原体和共生协会，并涵盖卵菌，真菌，细菌，病毒和线虫病原体;固氮和菌根共生;甚至一些不寻常的协会，如寄生植物-植物相互作用。获奖者将由一个特设委员会选出，该委员会由该项目的主要研究者和IS-MPMI董事会的美国成员组成，根据摘要中反映的科学质量，关于参加本次大会将如何影响申请人的研究和/或职业生涯的声明，以及申请人的简历。 种族和性别多样性和残疾将被考虑，以实现广泛和平衡的获奖者组合。 该系列的过去会议促进了科学信息的深入交流和跨广泛的研究主题和地理位置的合作，并为研究生提供了展示他们的工作和与领先科学家建立联系的机会。 因此，该系列会议在植物-微生物相互作用领域的基础知识积累和下一代科学家的培训方面发挥了重要作用。
