This award will support graduate student and postdoctoral attendance at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) meeting at Babson Park, Massachusetts on July 12 - 17, 2020. The meeting focuses on Yeast Chromosome Biology and the Cell Cycle and is co-organized by Drs. Mosur Raghuraman and Soni Lacefield, at the University of Washington and Indiana University, respectively. The format of the meeting is a combination of 27 invited talks and 21 talks selected from submitted abstracts (both 25 minute duration), several poster sessions and “flash talks” from 10-15 trainees on their posters. A keynote lecture by Virginia Zakian (Princeton University) will begin the meeting. There are also two dedicated 1-hour sessions for trainees to interact with leading experts and three separate poster sessions held in the evenings. A career-workshop will also be held for trainees. Nearly 50% of the invited talks are by women and special emphasis has been placed on including graduate students, postdocs and those underrepresented in science in every aspect of the meeting. This meeting also affords many opportunities (both formal and informal) for sharing recent research findings and exploring collaborations. This is a premier meeting on yeast chromosome biology and cell cycle regulation, now in its 30th year. Recent advances in chromosome biology, DNA replication, repair and recombination, telomere maintenance, and mitotic and meiotic processes will be highlighted in this conference, which will bring together diverse scientists from across the country and internationally. The session topics include: Chromatin and Nuclear Organization, Cell Cycle Regulation, Genome Stability and Repair, DNA Replication, Telomeres and End Maintenance, Kinetochores and Spindles, Mitosis and lastly, Meiosis and Recombination. The conference primarily highlights unpublished research findings and provides many experiences for young researchers to learn about the field and devise future avenues for research. The meeting will encourage career development of a new generation of researchers, including those who are underrepresented in science.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出席美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）会议在巴布森公园，马萨诸塞州于2020年7月12日至17日。会议的重点是酵母染色体生物学和细胞周期，由华盛顿大学和印第安纳州大学的Mosur Raghuraman和Soni Lacefield博士共同组织。会议的形式包括27场特邀演讲和从提交的摘要中选出的21场演讲（时长均为25分钟）、几场海报会议和10-15名学员在海报上的“快闪演讲”。会议开始将由弗吉尼亚·扎基恩（普林斯顿大学）作主旨演讲。还有两个专门的1小时的会议，学员与领先的专家和三个单独的海报会议在晚上举行互动。还将为学员举办职业讲习班。近50%的受邀演讲者是女性，特别强调在会议的各个方面都包括研究生、博士后和那些在科学领域代表性不足的人。这次会议还提供了许多分享最新研究成果和探索合作的机会（正式和非正式）。这是酵母染色体生物学和细胞周期调控的首要会议，现在已经是第30个年头了。在染色体生物学，DNA复制，修复和重组，端粒维护，有丝分裂和减数分裂过程的最新进展将在本次会议上突出，这将汇集来自全国各地和国际上的不同科学家。会议主题包括：染色质和核组织，细胞周期调控，基因组稳定性和修复，DNA复制，端粒和末端维护，着丝粒和孢子，有丝分裂，最后，减数分裂和减数分裂。会议主要强调未发表的研究成果，并为年轻研究人员提供许多经验，以了解该领域并设计未来的研究途径。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。
