This award will support the attendance of early career researchers at the Gordon Research Seminar on Centromere Biology, which will be at on July 28-29 2018 at the Mount Snow Center in West Dover, Vermont. 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 the professional development and mentoring of early career scientists. There will be ample opportunity for sharing the latest research results and for networking.Centromere is a region on a eukaryotic chromosome at which the kinetochore is assembled. Kinetochore and centromere to which it attaches jointly drive chromosome movement during cell division. This conference establishes centromere biology as a distinct field of study with a coherent research community, working across scales from understanding protein assembly and biochemical pathways to defining patterns of inheritance. A specific aim of this research seminar is to provide young scientists with a welcoming environment and provide an opportunity to actively and openly discuss their research.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参加戈登着丝粒生物学研究研讨会，该研讨会将于 2018 年 7 月 28 日至 29 日在佛蒙特州西多佛的 Mount Snow 中心举行。 会议的形式是演讲和海报相结合，这将促进正式和非正式场合的科学交流。其中一场会议专门讨论早期职业科学家的专业发展和指导。将有充足的机会分享最新的研究成果和建立联系。着丝粒是真核染色体上的一个区域，着丝粒在此处组装。它所附着的动粒和着丝粒在细胞分裂过程中共同驱动染色体运动。这次会议将着丝粒生物学确立为一个独特的研究领域，拥有一个连贯的研究团体，从理解蛋白质组装和生化途径到定义遗传模式，跨尺度开展工作。本次研究研讨会的一个具体目的是为年轻科学家提供一个热情的环境，并提供一个积极、公开地讨论他们的研究的机会。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影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
