This award will support early career researcher attendance at the 19th conference on Ciliate Molecular Biology, which will be at the American University campus in Washington D.C. on July 17-22 of 2018. The format of the meeting is a combination of talks and posters, which will promote scientific exchange in both formal and informal settings. One session is devoted to undergraduate research talks and another session is devoted to the integration of ciliate research and teaching. A workshop between sessions focuses on the professional development and mentoring of early career scientists. There will be ample opportunity for sharing the latest research results and for networking.The conference participants use ciliates as models to investigate diverse questions in cell biology, molecular evolution, structural biology and nucleic acid biochemistry. The structure of the meeting provides both breadth and depth to the scientific communications. The objectives of the conference are the following: (1) support and mentor early career scientist; (2) encourage interdisciplinary research; (3) integrate research and education focused science; (4) develop and share technical innovations; (5) develop community resources.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将支持早期职业研究人员出席第19届会议纤毛虫分子生物学，这将是在美国大学校园在华盛顿特区7月17日至22日2018年。会议的形式是讲座和海报相结合，这将促进正式和非正式场合的科学交流。 一个会议是专门为本科生的研究会谈，另一个会议是专门为纤毛虫的研究和教学的整合。 会议之间的研讨会侧重于早期职业科学家的专业发展和指导。 会议将有充分的机会分享最新的研究成果和建立网络。与会者以纤毛虫为模型，研究细胞生物学、分子进化、结构生物学和核酸生物化学中的各种问题。 会议的结构为科学交流提供了广度和深度。会议的目标如下：（1）支持和指导早期职业科学家;（2）鼓励跨学科研究;（3）整合研究和教育重点科学;（4）开发和分享技术创新;（五）该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的评估被认为值得支持。影响审查标准。
