The funded project supports early-career scientists to attend the 6th International Symposium for Plant Signaling and Behavior (PSB2023). This symposium is hosted by the Society for Plant Signaling and Behavior and is noted for being an inclusive and provocative, stimulating symposium. Funds will be offered on a competitive basis to early-career women from groups not well represented in science. Applications will be reviewed by the symposium Organizing Committee and awarded based on accomplishment and need for support. Awardees will be introduced at a special session for discussing future research agendas for the field of Plant Behavior. Each will be expected to participate in moderating a group of 10 scientists, modelling ‘active learning’ in a classroom set up for this purpose. This activity will occur on the first day of the symposium and will jump-start conversations among participants and funded scholars. It is particularly useful to bring this group of scientists to the PSB2023 symposium for their novel perspectives and the likelihood that participating in this group will enhance their careers as scientists.Funds will be used to support participation of early-career scientists in the 6th International Symposium for Plant Signaling and Behavior. Plant Signaling and Behavior is an emerging field of biological research, integrating knowledge about signaling mechanisms, genetics and electrophysiology to test hypotheses about whole plant behavior and ecology. Arising from these studies are questions about cognition, awareness, and coordination of sensory input into responsive behavior. Here, basic plant biological mechanisms are explored in conjunction with modelling, behavioral studies, neurobiology and philosophy. The planned symposium will create an opportunity to focus current questions on rigorous science. Inclusion of philosophers of science and cognition will guide this process. As this field becomes more mainstream, with participation of high-profile scientists from adjacent fields, it is important to include early-career scientists in the discussion. Also particularly germane to this group is the inclusion of women scientists, as most of the leaders of the Society for Plant Signaling and Behavior have been men to date.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.

该资助项目支持早期职业科学家参加第六届植物信号传导和行为国际研讨会（PSB2023）。 本次研讨会由植物信号和行为学会主办，以包容性和挑衅性而闻名。 将在竞争的基础上向来自科学界代表性不高的群体的早期职业妇女提供资金。 申请将由研讨会组织委员会审查，并根据成就和支持需求进行奖励。 获奖者将在一个特别会议上介绍，讨论植物行为领域未来的研究议程。 每个人都将参与主持一个由10名科学家组成的小组，在为此目的设立的教室里模拟“主动学习”。 这项活动将在研讨会的第一天举行，并将启动与会者和受资助学者之间的对话。 邀请这些科学家参加PSB2023研讨会特别有用，因为他们的新观点和参与这个小组将提高他们作为科学家的职业生涯的可能性。基金将用于支持早期职业科学家参加第六届植物信号和行为国际研讨会。 植物信号传导与行为是一个新兴的生物学研究领域，它整合了信号传导机制、遗传学和电生理学的知识，以检验关于整个植物行为和生态学的假设。 从这些研究中产生的问题是关于认知，意识和协调感官输入到反应行为。 在这里，基本的植物生物学机制结合建模，行为研究，神经生物学和哲学进行了探索。 计划中的研讨会将创造一个机会，将当前的问题集中在严格的科学上。 科学和认知哲学家的参与将指导这一进程。 随着这一领域变得越来越主流，来自邻近领域的知名科学家也参与进来，将早期职业科学家纳入讨论是很重要的。 与这一群体关系特别密切的是女性科学家的参与，因为迄今为止，植物信号与行为学会的大多数领导人都是男性。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。
