This award will support attendance by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at the FASEB Science Research Conference on Mobile DNA: 25 Years of Discussion and Research to be held June 23-29, 2019 in Palm Springs, CA. This meeting is designed to bring together scientists from around the world to present and discuss new research on diverse topics that promise to reveal insights into the function of mobile elements, also known as transposable elements. Compared to previous meetings, which had a focus on mammalian mobile elements, this meeting will include presentations on organisms from many branches of the Tree of Life. The meeting format will feature keynote lectures from leaders in the field, as well as a combination of talks and posters to promote scientific exchange in both formal and informal settings. Early-career participants will benefit from engagement as speakers and poster presenters. A special session in memory of Barbara McClintock will recognize the contribution of women to this field. The scientific focus of the meeting will be on topics that were chosen to highlight the importance of mobile elements in multiple biological functions. Sessions will highlight: comparative genomics of transposable elements, mobile DNA defense and regulation, mobile DNA modulation of epigenetic and gene regulation, mechanisms of mobilization, mobile DNA and the environment, and population genomics of mobile DNA. The meeting will provide an excellent venue for graduate student and postdoctoral participants, including those from underrepresented groups, to share their research with researchers from the U.S. and abroad and to receive feedback on their work from experts in the 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.

该奖项将支持研究生和博士后研究人员出席FASEB科学研究会议移动的DNA：25年的讨论和研究将于2019年6月23日至29日在加利福尼亚州棕榈泉举行。 本次会议旨在汇集来自世界各地的科学家，介绍和讨论关于不同主题的新研究，这些主题有望揭示移动的元件（也称为转座因子）功能的见解。 与以往侧重于哺乳动物移动的要素的会议相比，这次会议将包括关于生命之树许多分支的生物体的介绍。 会议形式将包括该领域领导人的主题演讲，以及会谈和海报相结合，以促进正式和非正式环境中的科学交流。 早期职业参与者将受益于参与演讲者和海报展示者。 纪念芭芭拉·麦克林托克的特别会议将承认妇女对这一领域的贡献。 会议的科学重点将是为突出移动的元素在多种生物功能中的重要性而选择的主题。 会议将强调：转座因子的比较基因组学、移动的DNA防御和调节、表观遗传和基因调节的移动的DNA调节、移动机制、移动的DNA和环境、以及移动的DNA的群体基因组学。该会议将为研究生和博士后参与者提供一个极好的场所，包括那些来自代表性不足的群体，与来自美国和国外的研究人员分享他们的研究，并从该领域的专家那里获得对他们工作的反馈。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
