The award will provide support for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to attend the 2022 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Protein Folding Dynamics, which will be held in Galveston, Texas on January 8-9, 2022. This GRS brings together a diverse group of early career scientists, including graduate students, postdocs and those transitioning to independent positions, to share their research with peers and broaden their scientific networks in the broad field of protein folding. This seminar allows early career scientists to discuss current research through seminars and poster sessions, informally exchange new ideas, technologies, and resources, 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 protein folding. The GRS program also includes a panel discussion on mentoring. The GRS also serves as a career development experience for the co-chairs and organizers who are postdoctoral researchers. Determining how protein sequence gives rise to conformational ensembles that encode their dynamics represents an active area of investigation in molecular biophysics. This Gordon Research Symposium will further the field of protein folding by addressing several essential topics, while highlighting how combined experimental and computational research can lead to breakthroughs in scientific understanding. The GRS serves as a vital link for investigators around the world to share their latest, often unpublished discoveries, discuss pioneering ideas and launch new collaborations.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 protein folding pathways, structure, dynamics, and mechanism, intrinsically disordered proteins and functional ensembles, sequence variation and mutational landscapes, 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，以参加将于2022年1月8日至9日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿举行的2022年蛋白质折叠动力学戈登研究研讨会（GRS）。这个GRS汇集了不同的早期职业科学家群体，包括研究生、博士后和那些过渡到独立职位的人，与同行分享他们的研究，扩大他们在蛋白质折叠广阔领域的科学网络。该研讨会允许早期职业科学家通过研讨会和海报会议讨论当前的研究，非正式地交流新的想法，技术和资源，并发展他们的专业网络。因此，这次会议将促进下一代科学家，包括代表性不足的少数民族，在蛋白质折叠领域的培训和专业发展。GRS项目还包括一个关于指导的小组讨论。GRS还为联合主席和博士后研究人员的组织者提供职业发展经验。确定蛋白质序列如何产生编码其动力学的构象集成是分子生物物理学中一个活跃的研究领域。这次戈登研究研讨会将通过解决几个基本主题来进一步推进蛋白质折叠领域，同时强调如何将实验和计算研究结合起来，从而在科学理解方面取得突破。GRS是世界各地研究人员分享他们最新（通常未发表的发现）、讨论开拓性思想和开展新合作的重要纽带。将涵盖该领域最前沿的主题，包括蛋白质折叠途径，结构，动力学和机制，内在无序的蛋白质和功能集成，序列变异和突变景观等。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
