The award will provide support for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers to attend the 2021 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on RNA Editing (July 31-Aug 1, 2021 in Ventura Beach, CA). The GRS will be held just prior to the associated Gordon Research Conference (GRC; Aug 1-6, 2021). These two meetings bring together young and established scientists from multiple disciplines who are addressing a broad range of questions about nucleic acid modifications, from mechanisms and functions to development of bioengineering tools. The GRS in particular enables a diverse group of early career scientists to discuss current research through seminars and poster sessions, exchange new ideas, technologies and resources informally, and develop their professional network. Hence this conference will facilitate training and professional development of the next generation of scientists, including underrepresented minorities, in the field of nucleotide editing. The GRS program includes a panel discussion on career choices with accomplished scientists in different professions. The GRS also serves as a career development experience for the co-chairs and organizers who are PhD students.Modifications of nucleosides found in RNA and DNA have been known for many years; however, the advent of novel and sensitive analytical techniques for their detection, and new appreciation of their broad impact on fundamental biological processes, have led to a renaissance in the field. The GRS and GRC serve as a vital link for investigators around the world to share their latest, often unpublished discoveries, discuss pioneering ideas and launch new collaborations. Topics at the forefront of the field will be covered, including the evolution, structure/dynamics and mechanisms of editing and modification systems, new tools for identification of nucleic acid modifications, and engineering new nucleic acid modification systems, among others.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.

该奖项将为研究生和博士后研究人员提供支持，参加RNA编辑的2021年戈登研究研讨会（GRS）（2021年7月31日至8月1日，在加利福尼亚州的文图拉海滩）。 GRS将在相关的戈登研究会议（GRC； 8月1-6日，2021年）之前举行。这两次会议将来自多个学科的年轻科学家汇集在一起​​，他们正在解决有关核酸修饰的广泛问题，从机制和功能到生物工程工具的开发。特别是GRS使一群早期的职业科学家可以通过研讨会和海报会议，非正式地交换新思想，技术和资源，并发展其专业网络。因此，本次会议将促进核苷酸编辑领域的下一代科学家（包括代表性不足的少数民族）的培训和专业发展。 GRS计划在不同专业的科学家中进行了有关职业选择的小组讨论。 GRS还可以作为博士生的联合主席和组织者的职业发展经验。然而，新颖和敏感的分析技术的检测出现，以及对它们对基本生物过程的广泛影响的新欣赏，导致了该领域的复兴。 GRS和GRC是世界各地调查人员分享其最新（通常没有出版的发现），讨论开拓性思想并启动新合作的重要联系。将涵盖该领域最前沿的主题，包括编辑和修改系统的演化，结构/动态和机制，用于识别核酸修饰的新工具以及工程新的核酸修饰系统等。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基础的Merit和BroadIt和广泛的评估来反映出值得评估的支持。
