The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) and Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Marine Microbes together create an international forum for sharing cutting-edge research on the ecology, evolution, and function of microorganisms in the ocean biosphere. The meeting bringstogether top scientists from around the world who have diverse backgrounds and expertise in order to provide an integrated program on marine microbial life, covering cutting edge research on viruses, Bacteria, Archaea and Eurkarya protists, spanning pelagic and benthic realms, trophic food web dynamics (photoautotrophy, chemoautotrophy, heterotrophy and mixotrophy) and their interactions and impact on biogeochemical cycles. Both the Seminar and Conference are organized in thematic sessions, with the goal of highlighting new methodological approaches and emerging questions in the field while stimulating rigorous discussion. This award enables early career participants (postdoctoral researchers and graduate students in the marine microbiology research community with diverse backgrounds) to attend both the 2022 Gordon Research Seminar (May 28-29, 2022) and Gordon Research Conference (May 29- May 29, 2022) on Marine Microbes. The rationale is to facilitate the attendance and participation of postdocs and graduate students in the GRS so they have an opportunity to present their research among peer scientists and establish connections and confidence in this setting. The GRS exposes young, early-career scientists to cutting-edge research on marine microbes (ranging from computational to theoretical to experimental to observational, and spanning all relevant disciplines from ecology to biogeochemistry to evolution), provide opportunities to network among peers, and foster relationships that will hopefully lead to lifelong collaborations. It also provides career guidance and scientific mentoring through the participation of select senior-level research mentors and discussion leaders. The GRS increases student and postdoc participation in the subsequent GRC which has oral presentations from a diverse group of young and established scientists who play leading roles in marine microbial research. The 2022 meeting is of special importance since the 2020 meeting was postponed due to the global COVID- 19 pandemic. It is even more important now that researchers can reconnect and have vital discussions about novel research, in an environment that fosters networking and collaboration.The respective themes of the 2022 Marine Microbes GRS and GRC are “Integrated Microbial Oceanography” and “Interconnected Microbial Ocean.” These themes highlight some of the pressing challenges and opportunities for innovation and collaboration in the field of marine microbiology. The “Integrated Microbial Oceanography” GRS focuses on research at the nexus of approaches of study marine microbes that bridges across methods, experimental systems, and scales to form a more holistic understanding of the ocean microbiome. The complementary GRC is on the “Interconnected Microbial Ocean,” and aims to highlight the vital functional roles of microorganisms, their ecological interactions, and their feedbacks on marine physiochemical environments. The Marine Microbes GRS/GRC are arguably the only meetings that coalesce such a diverse array of researchers (from career stages, disciplines, areas of expertise) related to marine microbes. The GRC meeting format emphasizes personal interactions, unpublished, cutting-edge research, and community-building. As such, these meetings continue to be an exceptional opportunity for the exchange of scientific ideas, developing new collaborations, gaining experience in presenting research (especially for early-career scientists), and are a crucial platform for addressing pressing challenges and opportunities for the field of marine microbiology. The meetings are highly interactive, stimulating environments that drive scientific conversations and community forward. A critical part of achieving our meeting goal is participation from a diverse array of scientists to the meeting site.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.

戈登研究研讨会（GRS）和戈登海洋微生物研究会议（GRC）共同创建了一个国际论坛，用于分享海洋生物圈中微生物的生态，进化和功能的前沿研究。会议汇集了来自世界各地的顶尖科学家，他们具有不同的背景和专业知识，以提供关于海洋微生物生命的综合计划，涵盖病毒，细菌，海洋和Eurkarya原生生物的前沿研究，跨越浮游和底栖领域，营养食物网动态（光自养，化能自养，异养和混合营养）及其相互作用和对地球化学循环的影响。研讨会和会议都是以专题会议的形式举办的，目的是突出新的方法和该领域新出现的问题，同时鼓励进行认真的讨论。 该奖项使早期职业参与者（具有不同背景的海洋微生物学研究社区的博士后研究人员和研究生）能够参加2022年戈登研究研讨会（2022年5月28日至29日）和戈登研究会议（2022年5月29日至5月29日）。其理由是促进博士后和研究生在GRS的出席和参与，使他们有机会在同行科学家中展示他们的研究，并在这种环境中建立联系和信心。GRS使年轻的早期职业科学家接触到海洋微生物的前沿研究（从计算到理论到实验到观察，并跨越从生态学到生物地球化学到进化的所有相关学科），提供同行之间网络的机会，并培养有望导致终身合作的关系。它还通过选定的高级研究导师和讨论领导人的参与提供职业指导和科学辅导。GRS增加了学生和博士后在随后的GRC中的参与，该GRC由在海洋微生物研究中发挥主导作用的各种年轻和成熟科学家组成的小组进行口头陈述。由于二零二零年会议因全球COVID- 19疫情而延期，二零二二年会议尤为重要。现在更重要的是，研究人员可以在促进网络和合作的环境中重新连接并就新的研究进行重要的讨论。2022年海洋微生物GRS和GRC的主题分别是“综合微生物海洋学”和“互连的微生物海洋”。这些主题突出了海洋微生物学领域创新与合作的一些紧迫挑战和机遇。“综合微生物海洋学”GRS专注于研究海洋微生物的方法之间的联系，这些方法跨越方法，实验系统和规模，以形成对海洋微生物组的更全面的了解。补充性的GRC是关于“相互连接的微生物海洋”，旨在突出微生物的重要功能作用，它们的生态相互作用以及它们对海洋生理化学环境的反馈。海洋微生物GRS/GRC可以说是唯一的会议，凝聚了这样一个不同的研究人员（从职业阶段，学科，专业领域）与海洋微生物。GRC会议形式强调个人互动，未发表，前沿研究和社区建设。因此，这些会议仍然是交流科学思想、发展新的合作、获得介绍研究成果的经验（特别是对初出茅庐的科学家而言）的一个难得机会，也是应对海洋微生物学领域紧迫挑战和机遇的一个重要平台。会议是高度互动的，刺激的环境，推动科学对话和社区向前发展。实现我们会议目标的一个关键部分是来自不同科学家的参与到会议现场。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。
