This award to University of Colorado, Boulder is made to support travel for twenty US graduate students, and three invited speakers from US institutions to a day-long workshop on model-based phylogenetics and phylogeography on the day prior to the Evolution meetings in Guarujo, Brazil (June 26, 2015). Model-based phylogenetic methods are growing at a staggering pace and now provide researchers with an opportunity to address research questions that were not possible before. This proposal is worthy of funding because it will allow U.S. researchers to learn about these new model-based phylogenetic methods first hand from several of the leading researchers in the field. The workshop is structured to provide an introduction to the theory behind the models followed by hands-on experience with the various software packages using real world data. The PIs and speakers have a strong track record of running successful workshops on similar topics demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed plan. The award will support travel to the meeting and accommodation for twenty US graduate students, including members of under-represented groups. All workshop tutorials will be made publically available through a dedicated website and all presentations will be uploaded to YouTube after the meeting. 100 foreign graduate students, predominantly from South and Central America, will also attend the workshop enhancing opportunities for international scientific collaboration.

这个奖项给科罗拉多大学，博尔德是为了支持旅行20名美国研究生，和三个来自美国机构的邀请演讲者为期一天的研讨会上基于模型的遗传学和地理学的进化会议在瓜鲁霍，巴西（2015年6月26日）的前一天。基于模型的系统发育方法正以惊人的速度发展，现在为研究人员提供了解决以前不可能解决的研究问题的机会。这项提议值得资助，因为它将使美国研究人员能够从该领域的几位领先研究人员那里直接了解这些新的基于模型的系统发育方法。讲习班的结构是介绍模型背后的理论，然后是使用真实的世界数据的各种软件包的实践经验。 PI和演讲者在成功举办类似主题的研讨会方面有着良好的记录，证明了拟议计划的可行性。该奖项将支持20名美国研究生参加会议和住宿，包括代表性不足的团体成员。所有研讨会教程将通过一个专门的网站提供，所有演示文稿将在会后上传到YouTube。 100名外国研究生，主要来自南美洲和中美洲，也将参加研讨会，增加国际科学合作的机会。
