Evolutionary Developmental Biology (EvoDevo) is an integrative field that sits at the intersection of Evolutionary Biology, Developmental Biology, Genetics, Genomics, and Physiology. One main goal of EvoDevo is to understand how genotype gives rise to phenotype. But in addition, EvoDevo workers are interested in reconstructing the evolution of developmental mechanisms. One strategy to achieve this is to utilize naturally occurring variation between organisms to link genotype and phenotype and hence reveal how changes in genotype results in developmental and evolutionary change. To accomplish this, EvoDevo researchers apply modern developmental, genetic, genomic, and bioinformatic tools to a broad range of canonical and non-canonical model organisms. The mission of the Pan-American Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology (PASEDB) is to: 1) promote and support EvoDevo in the Americas, 2) provide a forum for communication and collaboration between workers in the field and related disciplines and, 3) promote training and education in EvoDevo and related disciplines. The members of PASEDB view the continued vitality and growth of the EvoDevo community as essential to progress and innovation in several fields, including some directly relevant to human and environmental health. PASEDB is also strongly committed to achieving appropriate representation of women, racial/ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, and other individuals who have been traditionally underrepresented in science. The main way PASEDB is addressing these concerns is by organizing a biennial conference where established researchers and trainees representing a diverse cross-section of the field can meet to exchange ideas, network, and establish collaborations. The activity will support the attendance of postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and junior faculty to the 2022 Biennial Meeting of PASEDB which will be held jointly with the Society for Developmental Biology in Vancouver, Canada. In doing so, the project will facilitate the exchange of ideas, collaborations, and sense of community needed to advance knowledge and train the next generation of scientists. Due to the highly interdisciplinary nature of the field, these benefits will extend to related fields including Evolutionary Biology, Developmental Biology, Genetics, Genomics, and Physiology. Attendees will also participate in several activities designed to help promote appropriate representation of women, racial/ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, and other individuals who have been traditionally underrepresented in science.The activity will support attendance of 8 postdoctoral scholars, 12 graduate students and 4 junior faculty at the 2022 Pan-American Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology. Attendees will participate in several activities designed to help promote the future leaders in EvoDevo and to achieve appropriate representation of groups traditionally underrepresented in science. These will include a postdoctoral fellow symposium, workshops for persons of color, members of the LGBTQ community, women in science, and EvoDevo researchers in Latin America. Participants will also be chosen to achieve gender parity, and at least 30% of funded attendees will be from groups traditionally underrepresented in science.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.

进化发育生物学(EvoDevo)是一个集进化生物学、发育生物学、遗传学、基因组学和生理学于一身的综合性学科。EvoDevo的一个主要目标是了解基因型如何产生表型。但除此之外，EvoDevo的工作人员对重建发育机制的进化很感兴趣。实现这一点的一个策略是利用生物体之间自然发生的变异将基因和表型联系起来，从而揭示基因的变化是如何导致发育和进化变化的。为了实现这一点，EvoDevo的研究人员将现代发育、遗传、基因组和生物信息学工具应用于广泛的规范和非规范模式生物。泛美进化发育生物学学会(PASEDB)的使命是：1)在美洲推广和支持EvoDevo，2)为该领域和相关学科的工作者之间的交流和合作提供一个论坛，3)促进EvoDevo和相关学科的培训和教育。PASEDB的成员认为，EvoDevo社区的持续活力和增长对于几个领域的进步和创新至关重要，包括一些与人类和环境健康直接相关的领域。PASEDB还坚定地致力于实现妇女、种族/少数民族、残疾人和其他传统上在科学界代表性不足的个人的适当代表性。PASEDB解决这些问题的主要方式是组织一次两年一次的会议，代表该领域不同领域的知名研究人员和受训人员可以会面，交流想法，建立网络，并建立合作关系。该活动将支持博士后研究员、研究生和初级教员参加2022年PASEDB双年度会议，该会议将与加拿大温哥华发育生物学学会联合举行。通过这样做，该项目将促进思想交流、合作和社区意识，这是促进知识和培训下一代科学家所需的。由于该领域的高度跨学科性质，这些好处将延伸到相关领域，包括进化生物学、发育生物学、遗传学、基因组学和生理学。与会者还将参加一些旨在帮助促进妇女、种族/少数民族、残疾人和其他传统上在科学界代表性不足的个人的适当代表性的活动。该活动将支持8名博士后学者、12名研究生和4名初级教员出席2022年泛美进化发育生物学学会。与会者将参加几项活动，旨在帮助提拔EvoDevo未来的领导者，并实现传统上在科学界代表性不足的群体的适当代表。这些活动将包括一个博士后研讨会，为有色人种、LGBTQ社区成员、科学界女性和拉丁美洲的EvoDevo研究人员举办的研讨会。参与者也将被选择来实现性别平等，至少30%的资助参与者将来自传统上在科学界代表性较低的群体。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
