Conference: Macrosystems Biology and NEON-Enabled Science Investigator Meeting 2024

世界上大多数紧迫的环境问题，包括气候变化、生境破坏和生物多样性丧失、污染和不可持续的用水，都是人类社会与生态系统在区域、大陆和全球范围内相互作用的产物。因此，我们需要在这些大的空间尺度上进行严格和可操作的科学研究，以便为环境政策和管理提供信息。本次会议将汇集由宏观系统生物学-氖启用科学（MSB-NES）计划资助的研究人员，分享他们的研究成果，并讨论研究和解决大空间尺度环境问题的新努力。会议还将通过提供一系列关于团队科学的全体会议来促进培训和专业发展;多样性，公平和包容;安全和包容的工作环境;以及开放和透明的科学。它还将促进国家研究人才的发展，为早期职业和高级研究人员提供一个场所，在广泛的MSB-NES资助项目之间进行互动和网络。本次会议将支持由NSF宏观系统生物学和氖启用科学（MSB-NES）计划资助的研究人员会议。本次会议将建立在合作，包容性研究，开放和透明的科学之前的会议主题。本次会议将有三个主要目标：1）提供积极资助的MSB-NES PI和研究人员之间的网络和社区建设的机会。2)通过一系列的全体演讲者为社区提供学习机会，这些演讲者将专注于宏观系统生物学社区的基本主题。以及3）协调在科学杂志上制作一个突出MSB-NES研究和我们会议主题的宏观系统生物学特刊。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。

Most of the world’s pressing environmental problems, including climate change, habitat destruction and biodiversity loss, pollution, and unsustainable water use are the product of interactions between human societies and ecosystems that occur at regional, continental, and global scales. Therefore, we need rigorous and actionable science at these large spatial scales that can be used to inform environmental policy and management. This conference will bring researchers funded by the Macrosystems Biology – NEON Enabled Science (MSB-NES) program together to share their research findings and discuss new efforts to study and address environmental problems across large spatial scales. The conference will also promote training and professional development by offering a series of plenaries on team science; diversity, equity and inclusion; safe and inclusive working environments; and open and transparent science. It will also foster the development of national research talent by offering a venue for early career and senior researchers to interact and network across the broad range of MSB-NES funded projects.This conference will support a meeting of researchers funded by the NSF Macrosystems Biology and Neon Enabled Science (MSB-NES) program. This meeting will build on prior meeting themes of collaboration, inclusive research, and open and transparent science. This meeting will have three primary goals: 1) Providing networking and community-building opportunities among actively funded MSB-NES PIs and researchers. 2) Providing learning opportunities for the community through a series of plenary speakers that will focus on topics fundamental to the macrosystems biology community. And 3) coordinating the production of a Macrosystem Biology special issue in a scientific journal that highlights MSB-NES research and our meeting themes.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.
