CONFERENCE: Nucleic Acids Gordon Research Seminar: From organization and regulation to structure and mechanisms, June 1-2, 2019, Newry, ME

该奖项将支持研究生和博士后研究人员参加2019年戈登核酸研究研讨会（GRS），该研讨会将于2019年6月1日至2日在纽里周日河的高峰酒店举行，就在相关的戈登研究会议之前。GRS会议的主题是“从组织监管到结构机制”。会议由两位大四研究生组织并共同主持，为他们提供了宝贵的专业发展经验。会议的形式将是演讲和海报的结合，旨在鼓励在正式和非正式场合进行科学交流。参与者将受益于一个专门的教育、职业和指导会议，其中包括一位科学教育专家的主题演讲，以及与联邦资助机构项目主管的小组讨论。这次会议和随之而来的戈登研究会议的科学重点将是核酸生物学的多个方面，包括RNA和DNA的研究。具体主题将包括端粒、mRNA剪接、CRISPR技术、3D基因组组织/动力学/修复、翻译调节、RNA和DNA修饰、RNA质量控制和治疗。强调前沿，未发表的研究跨越许多生物系统为参与者提供了机会，探索如何利用新的发现可以为自己的工作。这次会议将为初级研究人员提供一个极好的论坛，包括那些来自代表性不足的群体的研究人员，使他们彼此建立联系，并有机会介绍和接受他们自己的研究的反馈。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This award will support attendance by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at the 2019 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Nucleic Acids to be held June 1-2, 2019 at the Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River in Newry, ME just prior to the associated Gordon Research Conference. The topical theme of the GRS meeting is "From organization and regulation to structure and mechanisms". The meeting is organized and co-chaired by two senior graduate students, thus providing them with valuable professional development experience. The format of the meeting will be a combination of talks and posters, aimed at encouraging scientific exchange in both formal and informal settings. Participants will benefit from a dedicated education, career and mentorship session featuring a keynote lecture from an expert in science education and a panel discussion with program directors in Federal funding agencies.The scientific focus of this meeting and the accompanying Gordon Research Conference will be on multiple aspects of nucleic acids biology including research on both RNA and DNA. Specific topics will include telomeres, mRNA splicing, CRISPR technologies, 3D genome organization/dynamics/repair, translation regulation, RNA and DNA modifications, RNA quality control, and therapeutics. Emphasis on cutting-edge, unpublished research across many biological systems offers participants the opportunity to explore how new findings can be leveraged for their own work. The meeting will provide an excellent forum for junior investigators, including those from underrepresented groups, to network with each other and to have the opportunity to present and receive feedback on their own 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.
