Microbial one carbon metabolism is central in the cycling of carbon and closely linked to the biogeochemical cycling of other major elements in the biosphere. For the past 25 years, the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on the Molecular Basis of Microbial One-Carbon Metabolism has been one of the major international forums for discussing the latest research on this globally important topic. This proposal is requesting support to assist with U.S. student participation for the 2018 rendition of the GRC and Gordon Research Seminar. This financial support will offset the registration and partial travel for 6 students at the 2018 GRC conference and an additional 14 students at the 2-day student run GRS. This monetary support is critical for ensuring representation and participation of early career scientists who may not otherwise attend due to insufficient funds.The 2018 GRC conference on the Molecular Basis of Microbial One-Carbon Metabolism will serve as an important venue for exchange of ideas and discussion of the latest findings in the field. Its format features extensive discussions, interactive poster sessions, and informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings, providing an ideal setting for C1 researchers and students across different fields and generations to exchange ideas, brainstorm, and discuss opportunities for collaboration within the U.S. and abroad. This meeting is inherently inter-disciplinary and attracts some of the leading researchers in the field. Student participation in the conference is vital to the success of the meeting and critical for continued growth and progress of the C1 research field.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.

微生物一碳代谢是碳循环的核心，与生物圈中其他主要元素的地球化学循环密切相关。在过去的25年里，戈登研究会议（GRC）微生物一碳代谢的分子基础一直是讨论这一全球重要主题的最新研究的主要国际论坛之一。该提案要求支持，以协助美国学生参与2018年的GRC和戈登研究研讨会。这笔财政支持将抵消6名学生参加2018年GRC会议以及另外14名学生参加为期2天的学生GRS会议的注册和部分差旅费用。 这一资金支持对于确保早期职业科学家的代表性和参与至关重要，否则他们可能因资金不足而无法参加。2018年关于微生物一碳代谢分子基础的GRC会议将成为交流思想和讨论该领域最新发现的重要场所。它的形式包括广泛的讨论，互动海报会议以及下午和晚上的非正式聚会，为不同领域和不同世代的C1研究人员和学生提供了一个理想的环境，以交流想法，集思广益，并讨论在美国和国外的合作机会。这次会议本质上是跨学科的，吸引了该领域的一些领先研究人员。学生参与会议对会议的成功至关重要，对C1研究领域的持续增长和进步至关重要。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
