The award will provide support for graduate students, post-doctoral associates and early career independent scientists to attend an international meeting in Lima, Peru July 18-21, 2019. The meeting will bring together leaders in the fields of single molecule applications and nanoscale visualization. These approaches reveal the molecular details of how the information encoded in DNA is read and implemented. The meeting format is designed to foster interactions between junior and senior scientists, as keynote lectures and short talks will be held in the same sessions. RoundTable discussions will mix novices and experts to encourage interactions among students, postdoctoral associates, and junior and senior faculty. The meeting will introduce the power of these techniques to potential users, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations. Single-molecule manipulation and visualization techniques have unveiled many new operating principles of the molecular and cellular processes that drive the flow of information from genes to proteins, i.e., the central dogma of molecular biology. The meeting will cover most of the recent breakthroughs produced by single molecule biophysical approaches in DNA replication, transcription, translation, and associated processes. In terms of dissemination, the organizers will make the abstracts of the talks and posters available to both participants and non-participants on a website.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.

该奖项将为研究生，博士后助理和早期职业独立科学家提供支持，以参加2019年7月18日至21日在秘鲁利马举行的国际会议。会议将汇集单分子应用和纳米可视化领域的领导者。这些方法揭示了DNA中编码的信息如何被读取和执行的分子细节。会议的形式旨在促进初级和高级科学家之间的互动，因为主旨演讲和简短的会谈将在同一届会议上举行。圆桌讨论将混合新手和专家，以鼓励学生，博士后助理，初级和高级教师之间的互动。 会议将向潜在用户介绍这些技术的力量，促进跨学科合作。单分子操作和可视化技术已经揭示了分子和细胞过程的许多新的操作原理，这些原理驱动信息从基因到蛋白质的流动，即，分子生物学的中心法则会议将涵盖最近在DNA复制，转录，翻译和相关过程中通过单分子生物物理方法取得的大部分突破。在传播方面，组织者将在网站上向参与者和非参与者提供讲座摘要和海报。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。
