Intellectual Merit and ObjectivesThe intellectual merit and objectives of the meeting are to provide an open, inclusive, and interactive forum that provides an effective learning environment for all participants, especially undergraduate and graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows. NSF funds are requested to increase the breadth of participation to include many young researchers that have an interest in plant cell biology. The meeting will include oral presentations, posters, workshop, and time for informal discussions.Broader ImpactsThe specific objectives are:1) To provide an open and inclusive forum for oral presentations that allow all labs to share research results. Lead PIs will provide brief 5 minute overviews of each research area to define key knowns as well as important knowledge gaps. Student and post-doc presentations will be geared toward teaching all participants basic methodology as well as data interpretation. Ample time will be devoted for discussion.2) To provide an opportunity for all participants to present and discuss their results in evening poster sessions.3) To conduct hands on workshop on fundamentals of fluorescence microsopy, with an emphasis in colocalization analysis. Kevin Eliceiri from the Madison Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation (LOCI) will give a workshop on using ImageJ for data analysis.4) To provide a forum for students and post docs to publish interesting images in a web based cell image gallery.

学术价值和目标会议的学术价值和目标是提供一个开放，包容和互动的论坛，为所有参与者提供一个有效的学习环境，特别是本科生和研究生，以及博士后研究员。NSF的资金被要求增加参与的广度，包括许多对植物细胞生物学感兴趣的年轻研究人员。会议将包括口头报告、海报、工作坊和非正式讨论时间。更广泛的影响具体目标是：1）提供一个开放和包容的口头报告论坛，让所有实验室分享研究成果。首席PI将提供每个研究领域的简短5分钟概述，以定义关键知识以及重要的知识差距。学生和博士后演讲将面向所有参与者教授基本方法以及数据解释。2）为所有参与者提供一个机会，在晚上的海报会议上介绍和讨论他们的结果。3）举办荧光显微镜基本原理的实践研讨会，重点是共定位分析。来自麦迪逊光学和计算仪器实验室（LOCI）的Kevin Eliceiri将举办一个关于使用ImageJ进行数据分析的研讨会。4）为学生和博士后提供一个论坛，在基于网络的细胞图像库中发布有趣的图像。
