The Phytochemical Society of North America (PSNA) will hold its 61st meeting on July 24-28, 2022 at The Inn and Conference Center at Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, VA. The goal of this annual event is to advance research on the unique chemistry of plants and its implications for human health, sustainable agriculture, and environmental conservation. The meeting also strives to ensure the future of the field by actively engaging an interdisciplinary and diverse community of next-generation scientists and providing professional development opportunities for students and early-career researchers, including oral presentations and participation in thematic workshops. NSF funding will specifically support efforts to expand the participation of postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and students from primarily undergraduate institutions who are members of groups underrepresented in the phytochemistry field. The PSNA conference is organized around a plenary topic and nine symposia themes that emphasize areas of substantial recent progress as well as emerging and novel areas in the field of phytochemistry. These themes reflect the society’s long tradition in the study of plant biochemistry, chemistry, and natural products from the molecular to the cellular and organismal scale. The research that is showcased at the conference has a range of long-term practical applications with significant implications for human health, sustainable agriculture, and environmental conservation, increasingly occurring at the intersection of disciplines across the sciences and into engineering. The conference also highlights critical advances in technology and data analytics that are opening new doors for this historically-challenging field. Many of the pertinent questions and novel research directions that will be addressed at the meeting have direct relevance for the NSF MCB program and intersecting disciplines. The PSNA is also dedicated to fostering the future of the phytochemistry field by promoting and supporting students and early-career scientists, with a focus on diversity and inclusion. The success of prior efforts and the inclusive culture of the society is reflected in the leadership team for the 2022 conference, which comprises a wide range of diversity with regard to career stage, gender, race, and discipline, including female scientists serving as conference chair and co-chair. The meeting will feature two major recognitions, the Arthur Neish Young Investigator Award and the PSNA-Plant Journal Early Career Award, which will be presented to up-and-coming stars at the conference awards banquet. In addition, the Frank and Mary Loewus Student Travel Award and PSNA Presentation Awards will support and promote participation of undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers, as well as members of groups underrepresented in the phytochemistry field. Recipients will have opportunities to present their work in oral and poster presentations and exchange ideas with scientific colleagues and leaders in the field and will also be recognized during the awards ceremony. The funds provided by the NSF will specifically defray the costs of registration, travel, and accommodations for attendees who are members of groups underrepresented in science, including postdoctoral scholars, graduate students and students of primarily-undergraduate institutions. This funding will thus significantly enhance efforts to expand diversity and inclusion, doing so within the context of the two main goals of the 2022 PSNA meeting, to share and communicate novel developments in the phytochemical research and to ensure the future of the field by growing a diverse and interdisciplinary community of early-career scientists.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.

北美植物化学协会 (PSNA) 将于 2022 年 7 月 24 日至 28 日在弗吉尼亚州布莱克斯堡的弗吉尼亚理工学院会议中心举行第 61 届会议。这一年度活动的目标是推进对植物独特化学及其对人类健康、可持续农业和环境保护的影响的研究。 会议还致力于通过积极吸引跨学科和多元化的下一代科学家社区，并为学生和早期职业研究人员提供专业发展机会，包括口头报告和参加主题研讨会，努力确保该领域的未来。 NSF 的资金将专门支持扩大博士后研究员、研究生和主要来自本科院校的学生的参与，这些学生是植物化学领域代表性不足的群体的成员。 PSNA 会议围绕一个全体会议主题和九个研讨会主题组织，强调植物化学领域近期取得重大进展的领域以及新兴和新颖的领域。这些主题反映了该协会在从分子到细胞和有机体尺度研究植物生物化学、化学和天然产物方面的悠久传统。会议上展示的研究具有一系列长期的实际应用，对人类健康、可持续农业和环境保护具有重大影响，并且越来越多地出现在科学和工程学科的交叉领域。会议还强调了技术和数据分析方面的关键进步，这些进步为这个历史上充满挑战的领域打开了新的大门。会议将讨论的许多相关问题和新颖的研究方向与 NSF MCB 计划和交叉学科直接相关。 PSNA 还致力于通过促进和支持学生和早期职业科学家来培育植物化学领域的未来，重点关注多样性和包容性。 先前努力的成功和社会的包容性文化反映在 2022 年会议的领导团队中，该团队在职业阶段、性别、种族和学科方面具有广泛的多样性，其中包括担任会议主席和联合主席的女性科学家。 本次会议将颁发两项重要奖项：Arthur Neish 青年研究者奖和 PSNA-Plant Journal 早期职业奖，该奖项将在会议颁奖晚宴上颁发给崭露头角的明星。此外，Frank and Mary Loewus 学生旅行奖和 PSNA 演示奖将支持和促进本科生、研究生和博士后研究人员以及植物化学领域代表性不足的团体成员的参与。获奖者将有机会以口头和海报展示的方式展示他们的工作，并与该领域的科学同事和领导者交流想法，并将在颁奖典礼上得到认可。 NSF 提供的资金将专门支付科学界代表性不足的群体成员的注册、旅行和住宿费用，包括博士后学者、研究生和本科院校的学生。 因此，这笔资金将显着加强扩大多样性和包容性的努力，在 2022 年 PSNA 会议的两个主要目标的背景下这样做，即分享和交流植物化学研究的新进展，并通过发展由早期职业科学家组成的多元化和跨学科社区来确保该领域的未来。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和知识进行评估，被认为值得支持。 更广泛的影响审查标准。
