The international Physics of Living Systems (iPoLS) graduate research network (GRN) connects graduate students across the globe who are using methods and concepts of physical systems to unravel the mysteries of living dynamics. This inherently interdisciplinary field has undergone a tremendous growth over the past decade, partly as a result of community efforts such as the iPoLS graduate research network. This network enables the creation of coherent training programs, forums for peer-to-peer learning and information transfer, and provides support for efforts to grow the faculty and student numbers in this field at US universities. The current project will continue building the network in the US, and one of the major goals continues to be fostering communication and cooperation across national boundaries. The PIs plan to use network resources to share best practices related both to education and into the building and support of a diverse community. They will present innovative plans for the recruitment of undergraduate interns from underrepresented groups, based on the successful experience of several of the network nodes. The PIs will collectively explore mechanisms for advocating for the unique capabilities of PoLS research and PoLS researchers to the broader biology and biomedicine communities, including the creation of PoLS-based sessions at major society meetings in cell biology, neuroscience, and fundamental cancer research. This project is being jointly supported by the Physics of Living Systems program in the Division of Physics and the Molecular Biophysics Cluster in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences.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.

国际生活系统物理学（IPOL）研究生研究网络（GRN）将全球研究生联系在一起，他们使用物理系统的方法和概念来揭示生活动态的奥秘。在过去的十年中，这一固有的跨学科领域在过去十年中经历了巨大的增长，部分原因是IPOLS研究生研究网络等社区努力。该网络可以创建连贯的培训计划，对等学习和信息转移的论坛，并为在美国大学的这一领域增加该领域的教师和学生人数提供了支持。当前的项目将继续在美国建立网络，主要目标之一继续是促进跨国家边界的沟通与合作。 PIS计划使用网络资源来共享与教育以及各种社区的建设和支持相关的最佳实践。他们将根据几个网络节点的成功经验，为从代表性不足的团体招募本科实习生的创新计划。 PI将集体探索提倡POLS研究的独特能力以及POLS研究人员为更广泛的生物学和生物医学群落提供的机制，包括在细胞生物学，神经科学和基本癌症研究的主要社会会议上创建基于POLS的会议。 该项目由生命系统计划的物理计划在物理学和分子生物科学划分中的分子生物物理学簇中共同支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的审查审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
