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

该奖项将为研究生、博士后研究人员和职业生涯早期研究人员提供支持，以参加在新罕布夏州霍尔德内斯举行的2023年表观遗传学戈登研究研讨会(GRS)和戈登研究会议(GRC)。这些会议将集中于了解非遗传信息是如何遗传的，并影响广泛的生物，包括植物、动物和真菌，以及从单分子到现象学的多个尺度上的表型。GRS为学生和博士后研究人员提供了一个机会，让他们在同行中分享未发表的尖端研究成果，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体的进化。GRC将通过一个包括世界各地该领域的领导者和新手的科学计划来促进跨学科的知识共享。开放的思想交流将促进早期研究者的事业，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引导的过程、表观基因组维持、转座元件、表观遗传学和环境。该奖项由生物科学理事会的遗传机制计划(分子和细胞生物科学部门)和发展系统计划(综合组织系统部门)资助。该奖项反映了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。

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 The GRS provides an opportunity for students and postdoctoral researchers to share unpublished, cutting-edge research among peers, develop networks, and benefit from career mentoring.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.
