Faculty at institutions with minimal or limited research infrastructure often find it difficult to maintain connections with the broader science community. This is particularly true for those at minority serving institutions such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). NSF funds will be used to support activities designed to broaden participation of PUI and HBCU faculty and students at the annual Plant Biology (PB) 2023 conference sponsored and organized by American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB). Conference activities are designed to enhance their participation at the national meeting and to introduce these scientists to research resources and funding opportunities that will help them connect to the broader plant biology research community year-round. ASPB is a leader in supporting career development opportunities for a wide variety of scientists. In an effort to boost research engagement at PUIs and HBCUs for current and prospective faculty, an extended workshop will be held at PB 2023 for current faculty to meet, share best practices in experimental design, collaboration, grant writing, and time management for conducting research. In addition, PUI and HBCU faculty and students will be provided with numerous networking and mentoring opportunities during the conference and throughout the year. NSF funds will be used to provide travel awards to PUI and HBCU scientists and students to attend and actively participate in activities at the PB 2023 conference to be held from August 5-10, 2023, in Savannah (GA).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.

研究基础设施很少或有限的机构的教师往往很难与更广泛的科学界保持联系。对于那些在少数民族服务机构，如历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）和主要本科院校（PUI）的学生来说，情况尤其如此。NSF的资金将用于支持旨在扩大PUI和HBCU教师和学生在年度植物生物学（PB）2023会议上的参与的活动，该会议由美国植物生物学家协会（ASPB）主办和组织。会议活动旨在提高他们在全国会议上的参与度，并向这些科学家介绍研究资源和资助机会，这将有助于他们全年与更广泛的植物生物学研究界建立联系。ASPB是支持各种科学家职业发展机会的领导者。为了提高PUI和HBCU对当前和未来教师的研究参与度，将在PB 2023举行一个扩展研讨会，让当前教师会面，分享实验设计，协作，赠款写作和时间管理方面的最佳实践。此外，PUI和HBCU的教师和学生将在会议期间和全年提供众多的网络和指导机会。NSF资金将用于为PUI和HBCU科学家和学生提供旅行奖励，以参加并积极参与将于2023年8月5日至10日在萨凡纳（GA）举行的PB 2023会议的活动。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。
