This award will support attendance by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at the Gordon Research Seminar at the University of New England, Biddeford, ME on June 3-4, 2017. The meeting is organized and chaired by two graduate students. The format of the meeting is a combination of talks and posters, which will promote scientific exchange in both formal and informal settings. Two keynote lectures will be featured, one from a leading researcher in the field and one focused on practical aspects of grant writing. There will be ample opportunity for sharing latest research results and for exploring collaborative possibilities. The field of nucleic acids research is diverse, encompassing research related to the biology of both RNA and DNA. Recent advances in the field reflect this diversity and will be highlighted in this conference, which will bring together scientists who do not often have the opportunity to interact and learn from each other. Among the topics for discussion will be discovery and investigation of an expanding array of non-coding RNAs, as well as new technologies that are being applied to probe reactions and interactions in the molecular machines responsible for diverse processes, including mRNA splicing, protein synthesis, DNA replication, and recombination. Cutting-edge or late-breaking research will be highlighted in short talks chosen from the abstracts and in posters. The primary purposes of this conference are to provide a venue for scientific exchange of new research results and ideas among young researchers, to foster learning about emerging paradigms and how they contribute to future goals for research on RNA and DNA biology, and to encourage career development of a new generation of nucleic acids researchers, including those who are underrepresented in science.

该奖项将支持研究生和博士后研究人员参加2017年6月3日至4日在新英格兰大学比德福德举行的戈登研究研讨会。会议由两名研究生组织和主持。会议的形式是演讲和海报相结合，这将促进正式和非正式环境中的科学交流。将有两个主题演讲，一个来自该领域的领先研究人员，另一个侧重于赠款写作的实际方面。将有充分的机会分享最新的研究成果，探索合作的可能性。核酸研究领域是多种多样的，包括与RNA和DNA生物学有关的研究。该领域的最新进展反映了这种多样性，并将在这次会议上得到强调，这次会议将把那些经常没有机会相互交流和学习的科学家聚集在一起。讨论的主题包括发现和研究一系列不断扩大的非编码RNA，以及正在应用于探测分子机器中的反应和相互作用的新技术，这些分子机器负责不同的过程，包括mRNA剪接、蛋白质合成、DNA复制和重组。尖端或最新的研究将在从摘要和海报中挑选出来的简短演讲中得到强调。这次会议的主要目的是为年轻研究人员提供一个科学交流新研究成果和想法的场所，促进对新出现的范例及其如何促进未来RNA和DNA生物学研究目标的学习，并鼓励新一代核酸研究人员，包括那些在科学界代表性不足的研究人员的职业发展。
