The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) provides a worldwide platform for collaborative research efforts on a voluntary basis. Established in 1892, IUFRO is a global, non-profit, non-governmental organization headquartered in Vienna, Austria. With a commitment to inclusivity, IUFRO brings together approximately 630 member organizations spanning over 115 countries, collectively representing a community of more than 15,000 scientists. First convened in 1986, the IUFRO Tree Biotech conference is a biennial international gathering dedicated to showcasing cutting-edge advancements and breakthroughs in the realm of forest biotechnology. This year, the conference will be held August 5-8, 2024 (Annapolis, MD) and is expected to draw over 250 researchers, students, and industry professionals participants, representing diverse nations worldwide. The IUFRO Tree Biotech conferences are designed to promote extensive interaction among attendees, featuring single-session programming without concurrent sessions to allow ample social and scientific networking opportunities. This year, sessions cover broad topics in relevant plant biology research and include tree genomics and genetics, multi-omics research, tree engineering and breeding, adaptation of trees to combat the challenges posed by global climate change, diverse applications of bioengineering across tree species, and considerations pertaining to the regulation and biosafety of genome-engineered trees. NSF funds will be used to support the participation of under-represented students and researchers to help foster an inclusive and supportive environment, ensuring an engaging experience for all conference participants.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.

国际森林研究组织联盟（IUFRO）为自愿提供了一个在全球范围内进行协作研究的平台。 IUFRO成立于1892年，是一个总部位于奥地利维也纳的全球非营利性，非政府组织。为了承诺包容性，Iufro汇集了大约630个成员组织，跨越了115个国家，共同代表了一个由15,000多名科学家组成的社区。 Iufro Tree Biotech会议于1986年首次召开，是一项两年一次的国际聚会，致力于展示森林生物技术领域中的尖端进步和突破。今年，该会议将于2024年8月5日至8日（马里兰州安纳波利斯）举行，预计将吸引250多名研究人员，学生和行业专业人员，代表全球各个国家。 Iufro Tree Biotech会议旨在促进与会者之间的广泛互动，其中包含单会节目，而无需并发会议，以提供充足的社会和科学网络机会。今年，会议涵盖了相关植物生物学研究中的广泛主题，包括树木基因组学和遗传学，多词学研究，树木工程和育种，对树木的适应，以应对全球气候变化所带来的挑战，跨树种生物工程的多样化应用，以及与基因并非基因化树木的调节和生物剂有关。 NSF资金将用于支持代表性不足的学生和研究人员的参与，以帮助促进包容性和支持性的环境，确保为所有会议参与者提供吸引人的体验。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和广泛影响的评估来通过评估来获得支持的。
