This award supports the 2015 Gordon Research Conference on Developmental Biology. This five-day conference, which has been running since 1970, is recognized as the major, mid-size meeting in Developmental Biology, bringing together about 150 outstanding senior and junior scientists for discussions of the recent advances in the field. Twenty-nine invited speakers, chosen based on their creative contributions to the field and their ability to promote fruitful discussions, have confirmed their attendance. The nine sessions cover classic topics and emerging areas in the field: Morphogenesis; Epigenetic Control of Development; Cellular Polarity; Stem Cell Biology; Small ncRNAs in Development; Intercellular Signaling; Self-Assembly within Cells; Transgenerational Inheritance; Transcription and Patterning. The intellectual merit of this meeting derives from its small size, which promotes interactions between participants, and the assembly of many top scientists in developmental biology. It spans a wide variety of experimental systems and focuses on areas of exceptional activity or promise. This combination leads to fruitful comparative analyses, raises new questions about underlying mechanisms and often leads to new collaborations. By maximizing both formal discussion and informal interactions, the Gordon Conference on Developmental Biology will help to define both the present state and the future of the field. With respect to broader impacts, this meeting will benefit the larger community in four respects. First, it will help train and inspire the next generation of scientists, by exposing students and postdoctoral fellows to exciting science and scientists. Second, it will be a forum for those who teach science in smaller colleges and high schools, to hear about the latest findings and to discuss topics with experts. Third, it will benefit junior faculty who can present their work in talks and posters and who can get to know the more senior members of the developmental biology field. For each session, time has been allotted for speakers chosen from abstracts submitted by the participants. Fourth, half of the invited speakers are women and two are minorities. In addition, we will encourage minorities to participate. These features will offer opportunities to minorities to participate in an excellent conference, and conversely, it will give all participants the opportunity to learn about exciting research conducted by their minority and female colleagues.

该奖项支持2015年戈登发育生物学研究会议。这个为期五天的会议自1970年以来一直在运行，被认为是发育生物学的主要中型会议，汇集了约150名杰出的高级和初级科学家，讨论该领域的最新进展。根据对该领域的创造性贡献和促进富有成果的讨论的能力选出的29名特邀发言者已确认出席。九个会议涵盖了经典主题和新兴领域：形态发生;发育的表观遗传控制;细胞极性;干细胞生物学;发育中的小ncRNA;细胞间信号传导;细胞内自组装;跨代遗传;转录和图案。 这次会议的学术价值来自其规模小，促进了与会者之间的互动，以及许多发育生物学顶级科学家的集会。它涵盖了各种各样的实验系统，并专注于特殊活动或承诺的领域。这种结合导致了富有成效的比较分析，提出了关于基本机制的新问题，并往往导致新的合作。通过最大化正式讨论和非正式互动，戈登发育生物学会议将有助于定义该领域的现状和未来。 关于更广泛的影响，这次会议将在四个方面使更大的社区受益。首先，它将通过让学生和博士后接触令人兴奋的科学和科学家，帮助培养和激励下一代科学家。其次，它将成为那些在较小的大学和高中教授科学的人的论坛，听取最新的发现并与专家讨论主题。第三，它将有利于初级教师谁可以介绍他们的工作在会谈和海报，谁可以了解更资深的成员发育生物学领域。每次会议都为从与会者提交的摘要中选出的发言者分配了时间。第四，受邀发言者中有一半是妇女，两名是少数民族。此外，我们将鼓励少数民族参与。这些特点将使少数群体有机会参加一次出色的会议，相反，它将使所有与会者有机会了解他们的少数群体和女同事进行的令人兴奋的研究。
