Conference: Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR): Timing from Cells to Clinics: San Juan, Puerto Rico May 18th - May 23rd, 2024

生物节律渗透到生命王国的各个方面，几乎协调了生物学的各个方面。生物节律的广泛影响使其研究，称为时间生物学，是我们星球上的基本“生命规则”之一。鉴于生物节律在自然界中的重要作用，时间生物学的研究对于生物学领域的所有重大问题都至关重要。一致地，时间生物学被广泛研究的研究人员谁采用了广泛的模式生物和技术方法。最大的时间生物学家协会是生物节律研究协会（SRBR），其主要使命是联系节律领域的研究人员并向公众传播他们的研究。为了履行这一职责，SRBR每年举办两次会议，其成员聚集在一起，了解节奏研究中最新颖和令人兴奋的方面。本次会议即将举行的迭代，“SRBR 2024：从细胞到诊所的时间”，将提供一个机会，将新的学科整合到既定的范式，并教育学员如何在节奏研究中提出正确的问题。因此，该项目的目的是支持SRBR 2024为生物节律初级科学家提供专业发展和培训机会，并增加具有不同生活经历的人群的参与，以扩大我们研究社区的范围。该项目将使早期的职业特定的研讨会，网络机会，并支持来自各种生活经验的科学家出席。鉴于生物节律在自然界中的重要作用，时间生物学的研究对于生物学领域的所有重大问题都至关重要。生物节律研究学会（SRBR）的成立是为了加强和倡导时间生物学研究，这是一项使命，通过其一年两次的会议来实现。SRBR 2024的主题是“从细胞到诊所的时间”，反映了该领域的多样性，这使得多方面的计划得以创建。随着SRBR 2024研究的广度，对本次会议培训方面的支持带来了两个主要的更广泛的影响。首先，SRBR 2024广泛传播时间生物学领域的最新研究。第二，这么多经验丰富的研究人员的汇合提供了机会，培训时间生物学领域的研究和专业发展的初级成员。该项目将通过支持实习生和专业发展日/初级教师研讨会，整个会议期间的辅导会议以及网络活动，使首次学生能够与该领域的高级研究人员进行交流，从而实现这一使命。此外，该项目通过向符合条件的受训人员提供竞争性/择优研究金，为无法参加会议的受训人员提供资金，确保我们的培训人才库反映了社会的目标，即增强和倡导生活经验的公平性和多样性。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进行评估，被认为值得支持的搜索.

Biological rhythms permeate all aspects of the kingdom of life, coordinating almost every aspect of biology. The broad reach of biological rhythms makes its study, termed chronobiology, one of the fundamental “rules of life” on our planet. Given the vital role of biological rhythms across the natural world, the study of chronobiology is essential to all major questions in the field of biology. Concordantly, chronobiology is widely investigated by a diverse group of researchers who employ a broad range of model organisms and technical approaches. The largest society of chronobiologists is the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR), whose primary mission is to connect researchers in the rhythms field and disseminate their research to the public. To fulfill this role, SRBR hosts a biannual meeting, where its members gather to learn about the most novel and exciting aspects of rhythms research. The upcoming iteration of this meeting, “SRBR 2024: Timing from Cells to Clinics”, will provide an opportunity to integrate new disciplines into established paradigms and educate trainees on how to ask the right questions in rhythms research. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to support the professional development and training opportunities at SRBR 2024 for junior scientists in biological rhythms and increase participation from populations with different lived experiences to expand the scope of our research community. This project will enable early career-specific seminars, networking opportunities, and support the attendance of scientists from a variety of lived-experiences. Given the vital role of biological rhythms across the natural world, the study of chronobiology is essential to all major questions in the field of biology. The Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR) was established to enhance and advocate for chronobiological research, a mission which is impart fulfilled via its biannual conference. The theme of SRBR 2024, “Timing from Cells to Clinics”, reflects the diverse nature of the field, which has enabled the creation of a multi-faceted program. With the breadth of research at SRBR 2024, support for the training aspects of this meeting presents two primary broader impacts. First, SRBR 2024 widely disseminates the most recent research in the field of chronobiology. Second, the confluence of so many experienced researchers offers the opportunity to train the junior members of the chronobiology field in both research and professional development. This project will enable that mission by supporting a Trainee and Professional Development Day/Junior Faculty Workshop, mentoring sessions throughout the conference, and networking events that will allow first time students to interface with senior researchers in the field. In addition, this project funds trainees that otherwise could not attend the conference by providing competitive/merit-based fellowships to eligible trainees, ensuring that our trainee pool reflects the societies’ goal of enhancing and advocating for equity and diversity of in lived experiences.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.
