Conference: Support student and early professional attendance to the Species on the Move international conference

实际上，所有物种都将受到气候变化的影响。有些会受到很大影响，有些会受到一些影响，但对于哪种会是哪种存在很大争议，因为预测对气候变化的反应是非常复杂的。这将需要来自多个学科的科学家共同努力，共同开发新模型和其他尖端工具。这一奖项将资助在佛罗里达举行的一次会议，以促进国际合作，研究如何预测和缓解气候变化的生态和进化影响。会议将汇集具有分子生物学、遗传学、生理学、微生物学和组学领域以及进化、生态学和生态系统生物学专业知识的科学家，以解决与气候变化背景下的特征、物种和群落进化相关的知识的紧迫缺口。与会者将讨论与谁因气候变化而搬家、他们往返哪里以及为什么搬家有关的基石和新出现的问题。这次会议每天上午都会举行全体会议，主题是12个核心主题中的每一个主题的尖端研究。上午全体会议期间的小组讨论将通过讨论共同感兴趣的话题来设计和组织，以最大限度地促进学者、管理人员和专业人员之间的交流。每天下午将包括3-4个同时进行的会议，涉及12个主题。将有指导活动和会议前研讨会来吸引、培训和支持职业生涯早期的科学家。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。

Practically all species will be impacted by climate change. Some will be affected a lot and some a little, but there is much debate about which will be which because predicting responses to changing climate is enormously complicated. It will require the combined efforts of scientists from many disciplines, working together to develop new models and other cutting-edge tools. This award will fund a conference in Florida to foster international collaboration on ways in which ecological and evolutionary impacts of climate change can be predicted and perhaps mitigated.The conference will bring together scientists with expertise in molecular biology,genetics, physiology, microbiology, and the -omics fields, as well as evolution, ecology, andecosystems biology to address pressing gaps in knowledge related to the evolution of traits,species, and communities in the context of climate change. Attendees will address cornerstone and emerging issues pertaining to who is moving due to climate change, where they are moving to and from, and why they are moving. The conference is organized with plenary talks each morning featuring cutting edge research across each of 12 core themes. Panel discussions during the morning plenary sessions will be designed and structured to maximize exchange between academics, managers and professionals by engaging on a shared topic of interest. Each afternoon will consist of 3-4 concurrent sessions, across the 12 themes. There will be mentoring events and a pre-conference workshop to attract, train and support 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.
