This award supports registration expenses for participants in the May 2023 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on CO2 Assimilation in Plants: Photosynthetic Efficiency in a Changing Climate, which explores the dynamics of carbon exchange between photosynthetic organisms and their environment. This area of active research is of critical importance to predicting how photosynthetic organisms respond to variable environments, managing natural ecosystems for biodiversity, productivity, and carbon storage, and promoting food and energy production for a growing world population. Photosynthesis research is an inherently interdisciplinary field, requiring basic scientific advances in many disciplines within plant, algal and microbial biology, coupled with efforts to integrate knowledge across molecular, cellular, organismal, and ecosystem scales. A major theme of the 2023 meeting will focus on obtaining a better understanding of how carbon dioxide uptake by plants will respond under current and future climate scenarios. The GRC and GRS bring together diverse and early-career scientists with senior scientists in the field to discuss cutting-edge research, and participation of early-career scientists from under-represented groups will be supported with the award. The GRC and GRS also foster collaborations among scientists from academia, industry, and government agencies that will guide and support photosynthesis research into the future. This Gordon Research Conference focuses on integrating fundamental scientific knowledge of carbon assimilation, source-sink relationships, and photosynthetic efficiency to better understand physiological mechanisms that underlie plant responses to biotic and abiotic factors and to link these traits to productivity and carbon storage at the global scale. These topics will be explored in relation to evolutionary mechanisms that led to novel plant innovations, modeling approaches to scale responses from cellular to ecosystem levels, metabolic feedbacks that link carbon dioxide assimilation to other physiological and developmental processes, and leveraging photosynthesis research to improve plant productivity. The subtheme for the 2023 GRC and GRS, Photosynthetic Efficiency in a Changing Climate, encompasses these fundamental scientific problems. This theme was chosen to highlight scientific questions to encourage collaborative, innovative approaches to solving global challenges associated with climate change, carbon storage, and food and energy security. The themes of the GRS and GRC were chosen to highlight key scientific questions, stimulate the exchange of ideas within a diverse scientific community, and encourage collaborative, innovative approaches to solving these global challenges. Attendees will be able to participate in professional development activities, including a GRS career panel discussion exploring diverse career paths in plant science and the GRC Power Hour which addresses diversity and inclusion in the scientific workplace.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.

该奖项支持2023年5月戈登研究会议（GRC）和戈登研究研讨会（GRS）的参与者的注册费用，该研讨会探讨了光合生物与环境之间碳交换的动态。这一活跃的研究领域对于预测光合生物如何应对多变的环境，管理自然生态系统的生物多样性，生产力和碳储存，以及促进粮食和能源生产以满足不断增长的世界人口至关重要。光合作用研究本质上是一个跨学科的领域，需要在植物，藻类和微生物生物学的许多学科的基础科学进步，再加上努力整合跨分子，细胞，有机体和生态系统尺度的知识。2023年会议的一个主要主题将侧重于更好地了解植物吸收二氧化碳将如何在当前和未来的气候情景下做出反应。GRC和GRS将不同的早期职业科学家与该领域的高级科学家聚集在一起，讨论前沿研究，来自代表性不足群体的早期职业科学家的参与将得到该奖项的支持。GRC和GRS还促进了来自学术界，工业界和政府机构的科学家之间的合作，这将指导和支持未来的光合作用研究。本次戈登研究会议的重点是整合碳同化，源-汇关系和光合效率的基础科学知识，以更好地了解植物对生物和非生物因素反应的生理机制，并将这些特征与全球范围内的生产力和碳储存联系起来。这些主题将探讨与进化机制，导致新的植物创新，建模方法从细胞到生态系统水平的规模反应，将二氧化碳同化与其他生理和发育过程联系起来的代谢反馈，以及利用光合作用研究来提高植物生产力。2023年GRC和GRS的副主题是“气候变化中的光合效率”，涵盖了这些基本的科学问题。选择这一主题是为了突出科学问题，鼓励采取合作、创新的方法来解决与气候变化、碳储存、粮食和能源安全相关的全球挑战。GRS和GRC的主题被选择为突出关键的科学问题，促进多元化科学界的思想交流，并鼓励合作，创新的方法来解决这些全球性挑战。与会者将能够参加专业发展活动，包括GRS职业小组讨论，探索植物科学的多样化职业道路，以及GRC Power Hour，解决科学工作场所的多样性和包容性。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。
