Conference: 2023 Epigenetics Gordon Research Conference and Seminar: Epigenetic Information: Mechanisms, Memory and Inheritance

该奖项将为研究生，博士后研究人员和早期职业调查人员提供支持，以参加2023年在新罕布什尔州霍尔登举行的表观遗传学戈登研究研讨会（GRS）和戈登研究会议（GRC）。这些会议将侧重于了解非遗传信息是如何遗传的，并影响广泛的生物体（包括植物，动物和真菌）的表型，以及从单分子到现象学的多尺度。GRS为学生和博士后研究人员提供了一个机会，可以在同行中分享未发表的前沿研究，发展网络，并从职业指导中受益。讨论的主题包括发育过程中的表观遗传重编程，跨代表观遗传和染色质的进化。GRC将通过一个包括来自世界各地的领导者和新来者的科学计划来推进跨学科知识共享。开放的思想交流将促进早期研究人员的职业生涯，并保持表观遗传学领域的活力和创新。讨论的主题包括异染色质，染色质结构，RNA指导的过程，表观基因组的维护，转座因子，以及表观遗传学和环境。该奖项由遗传机制计划资助（分子和细胞生物科学部）和发育系统计划（综合有机系统）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。

This award will provide support for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and early-career investigators to attend the 2023 Epigenetics Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) and Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in Holderness, New Hampshire. These conferences will be focused on understanding how non-genetic information is inherited and influences phenotype across a wide range of organisms, including plants, animals, and fungi, and across multiple scales, from single-molecules to the phenomenological. The GRS provides an opportunity for students and postdoctoral researchers to share unpublished, cutting-edge research among peers, develop networks, and benefit from career mentoring. Discussion topics include epigenetic reprogramming during development, transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, and the evolution of chromatin.The GRC will advance cross-disciplinary knowledge sharing through a scientific program that includes both leaders and newcomers to the field from across the world. The open exchange of ideas will promote the careers of early investigators and maintain the vibrancy and innovation of the epigenetics field. Discussion topics include heterochromatin, chromatin structure, RNA-directed processes, epigenome maintenance, transposable elements, and epigenetics and the environment.The award is funded by the Genetic Mechanisms program (Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences) and the Developmental Systems program (Division of Integrative Organismal Systems) in the Directorate for Biological Sciences.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.
