This award provides support for a one-day meeting “The Rising Stars in Cell Biology Symposium” to be held on April 29, 2022 at Johns Hopkins University. The purpose of the meeting is to provide an opportunity to early career scientists (undergraduate, post baccalaureate, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows) from diverse backgrounds within the greater Baltimore area to present their research and network with their peers. The format of the meeting will comprise of one keynote talk, selected oral presentations, poster sessions, and career development platforms. In the short-term, this meeting will provide an opportunity to trainees to highlight their exceptional research, boost their confidence, expose them to a wide array of leading-edge research within cell biology, which may lead to increased recruitment of under-represented minority (URM) students into graduate programs or postdoctoral positions across the participating institutions. In the long-term, this meeting will attract URM scholars to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), specifically to life sciences and to generate a vibrant and supportive environment that encourages retention of URM scientists in academia. This meeting is motivated by the recognition of socio-economic disparity and the need for opportunities truly available to URM scholars. The award will defray the basic organizing expenses to reach a wide group of trainees as well as institutions that predominantly serve URM scholars in the greater Baltimore area. In particular, the award will provide support for the meeting participants in the form of travel vouchers, working meals, poster printing, and childcare assistance. Availability of opportunities provided by the meeting will showcase the trainees’ work and form a peer network, which will encourage URM scholars to continue their academic pursuit and help increase diversity at higher ranks within academia. Additionally, with the participants from diverse backgrounds but sharing the common interest in cell biology, this meeting is expected to foster scientific collaborations at the forefront topics and advance research forward.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.

该奖项为将于2022年4月29日在约翰霍普金斯大学举行的为期一天的会议“细胞生物学研讨会的新星”提供支持。会议的目的是提供一个机会，早期的职业科学家（本科生，学士后，研究生和博士后研究员）从不同的背景在更大的巴尔的摩地区提出他们的研究和网络与他们的同行。会议的形式将包括一个主题演讲，选定的口头报告，海报会议和职业发展平台。在短期内，这次会议将为学员提供一个机会，突出他们的杰出研究，增强他们的信心，使他们接触到细胞生物学领域的各种前沿研究，这可能会导致增加招聘代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生进入参与机构的研究生课程或博士后职位。从长远来看，这次会议将吸引URM学者到科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM），特别是生命科学，并创造一个充满活力和支持性的环境，鼓励URM科学家留在学术界。 这次会议的动机是认识到社会经济差距和需要真正提供给URM学者的机会。该奖项将支付基本的组织费用，以达到广泛的学员群体以及主要服务于大巴尔的摩地区的URM学者的机构。特别是，该奖项将以旅行券、工作餐、海报印刷和儿童保育援助的形式为与会者提供支持。会议提供的机会将展示学员的工作，并形成一个同行网络，这将鼓励城市资源管理学者继续他们的学术追求，并有助于增加学术界高层的多样性。此外，由于与会者来自不同的背景，但对细胞生物学有着共同的兴趣，本次会议有望促进前沿课题的科学合作，推动研究向前发展。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。
