This project will provide support for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and early career investigators to attend the Eighth International Symposium on Inorganic Carbon Acquisition by Aquatic Photosynthetic Organisms. This meeting, better known by its acronym, CCM8, will take place on the Loyola University campus in New Orleans, Louisiana from May 27 - June 1, 2013. The interdisciplinary topic of this meeting is the study of how various algae, aquatic plants and photosynthetic bacteria acquire CO2 for photosynthesis using carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCMs). Speakers will address topics ranging from how algae will respond to global climate changes to how CCM components might be used to improve photosynthesis in crop plants. Funds will be used to defray costs for meeting attendance. Women and underrepresented groups will be especially encouraged to apply for this assistance. The goal of this funding is to make it easier for young scientists to attend the meeting and to encourage young researchers to continue working in the exciting, growing field of carbon concentrating mechanisms.

该项目将为研究生、博士后研究人员和职业生涯早期研究人员提供支持，以参加第八届水生光合作用生物获取无机碳国际研讨会。这次会议的首字母缩写CCM8更为人所知，将于2013年5月27日至6月1日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良的洛约拉大学校园举行。本次会议的跨学科主题是研究各种藻类、水生植物和光合细菌如何利用碳浓缩机制(CCM)获取二氧化碳进行光合作用。演讲者将讨论一系列主题，从藻类如何应对全球气候变化到如何利用CCM成分来改善作物的光合作用。资金将用于支付出席会议的费用。将特别鼓励妇女和任职人数不足的群体申请这项援助。这笔资金的目的是让年轻科学家更容易参加会议，并鼓励年轻研究人员继续在令人兴奋的、不断增长的碳浓缩机制领域工作。
