WORKSHOP: ABRF2012 Satellite Educational Workshops to be held March 16-17th, 2012 in Orlando, FL

项目摘要：该奖项的目的是支持四个新的卫星教育研讨会，这些研讨会将在生物分子资源设施协会年会(奥兰多，佛罗里达州，2012年3月)开始之前同时举行。这四个工作坊是(1)转录组、蛋白质组学和新陈代谢组学中的途径分析；(2)核心设施董事和经理的商业技能；3)表观基因组学：RNA-SEQ和甲基-SEQ实验的设计、实施和分析；以及(4)多肽电子转移解离质谱图的手动解释。该奖项将有助于建立一个旅行奖励计划，致力于核心设施人员和对生命科学技术感兴趣的年轻科学家的专业发展。这一NSF奖项将帮助为研讨会参与者建立在线教育材料，并为整个社区未来共享教育资源的发展奠定基础。这些讲习班的学术价值在于培养不断涌现的新的、热情的研究人员，使用对所有领域的科学进步至关重要的成熟和尖端技术。这一奖项的更广泛影响是提供了一个特别强大的机制，以促进代表人数不足的群体的个人参加，包括妇女和少数群体成员，否则他们将无力参加教育卫星讲习班。

Project Abstract: The purpose of this award is to support four new Satellite Educational Workshops that will be held concurrently before the start of the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities annual meeting (Orlando FL, March 2012). The four workshops are (1) Pathway Analysis in Transcriptomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics; (2) Business Skills for Core Facility Directors and Managers; 3) Epigenomics: Design, Implementation and Analysis of RNA-seq and Methyl-seq Experiments; and (4) Manual Interpretation of Electron Transfer Dissociation Mass Spectra of Peptides. The award will enable the establishment of a Travel Award program dedicated to the professional development of core facility personnel and of young scientists interested in life science technologies. This NSF award will help establish online educational materials for workshop participants and provide the foundation for the development of future shared educational resources for the community at large. The intellectual merit of these workshops is in educating the constant flow of new, enthusiastic researchers in the use of both established and cutting-edge technologies critical to the progression of science in all fields. The broader impact of this award is to provide a particularly powerful mechanism for facilitating the participation of individuals from underrepresented groups, including women and members of minority groups, who would not otherwise be able to afford to attend the educational satellite workshops.
