Nontechnical DescriptionPlant synthetic biology is an emerging field that intersects many disciplines, including plant biology, synthetic biology, computational modeling and mathematical analysis, and engineering sciences to enable crop improvement and enhanced bio-production of high value chemicals. The award will provide travel and registration support to facilitate participation of US-based researchers, including graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early stage investigators in the 3rd International Conference on Plant Synthetic Biology, Bioengineering, and Biotechnology Conference to be held October 4-6, 2019 in Cambridge, United Kingdom. This meeting will bring together researchers from academia, industry, and government to participate in a highly interactive and engaging meeting, enabling professionals and young researchers to hear from one another through organized talks, panel discussions, and poster sessions. Technical DescriptionPresented by the Society of Biological Engineering (SBE), the conference includes scientists and engineers from universities, industry and government, and consists of multiple sessions in areas such as: photosynthetic factories, novel bioproducts, new tools and technologies in synthetic biology, engineering biotic interactions, engineering plant development and morphology, and engineering primary productivity, and food and nutritional security. Through the interactive program, the conference will provide a venue for: scientific presentations from a diverse group of international researchers working in various areas, active student and trainee engagement in the field, investigators from diverse disciplines to discuss cutting edge methodologies and approaches in plant synthetic biology. The conference will help promote the participation of women and underrepresented scientists in the field of plant sciences, synthetic biology, and engineering.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.

非技术描述植物合成生物学是一个交叉了许多学科的新兴领域，包括植物生物学、合成生物学、计算建模和数学分析以及工程科学，以实现作物改良和提高高价值化学品的生物生产。该奖项将提供差旅和注册支持，以促进美国研究人员，包括研究生、博士后研究人员和早期研究人员参加将于2019年10月4日至6日在英国剑桥举行的第三届国际植物合成生物学、生物工程和生物技术会议。这次会议将汇集来自学术界、产业界和政府的研究人员，参加一次高度互动和引人入胜的会议，使专业人士和年轻研究人员能够通过有组织的演讲、小组讨论和海报会议相互交流。由生物工程学会(SBE)主办的这次会议包括来自大学、工业和政府的科学家和工程师，并包括多个会议，涉及的领域包括：光合作用工厂、新型生物产品、合成生物学中的新工具和技术、工程生物相互作用、工程植物发育和形态、工程初级生产力以及食品和营养安全。通过互动计划，会议将提供一个场所，供在不同领域工作的不同国际研究人员的科学报告、该领域活跃的学生和实习生参与、来自不同学科的研究人员讨论植物合成生物学的尖端方法和途径。这次会议将有助于促进女性和代表性不足的科学家在植物科学、合成生物学和工程领域的参与。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
