DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A two-day regional research symposium is proposed focused on the field of organic chemistry and chemical biology to encourage cross-disciplinary research. The targeted participants will be advanced undergraduate students from universities within the Pacific Northwest region, who have conducted significant research projects in a relevant area(s). The purpose of the symposium is to provide these young scientists with an opportunity to gain valuable experience in presenting research data at a professional conference-style forum and to stimulate research in organic chemistry, chemical biology as well as allied biomedical disciplines. The event will thus serve to nurture, support, and encourage a cohort of the nation's future scientific and medical professionals from an area of the country with comparatively few opportunities for similar career developing activities. Places at the symposium will be strictly limited (to ca 30-35) such that the resulting small group atmosphere encourages significant interaction between participants. Furthermore, all student attendees will make a substantive presentation during the symposium, either a research poster or a lecture. The selection of participants will emphasize diversity (scientific and individual) and will be made on the basis of submitted abstracts (to be later compiled and distributed), with the best submissions being given priority for the available lecture slots. Three keynote speakers will give lectures on their research. The keynote speakers will be selected from a range of positions - from academia to medical schools to industry - and in a range of research areas (with emphasis on cross-disciplinary research).. NIGMS support is sought to facilitate wide participation in the symposium from the most talented undergraduate students from across the entire Pacific Northwest region by providing travel awards for all selected attendees. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Organic chemistry and chemical biology play pivotal roles in all biological and biomedical fields, including: pharmaceutical development and medical practice. The focus of the proposed scientific meeting on undergraduate research in organic chemistry and chemical biology is therefore agency relevant and indeed, the entire field has consistently been regarded as an area of strategic importance to the National Institutes of Health. Given that the participants involved in the symposium will be pre-professional students with a passion for organic chemistry and chemical biology, the event will thus serve to nurture, support, and encourage a cohort of the Nation's future scientific and medical professionals from an area of the country with comparatively few opportunities for this type of event.

项目描述（申请人提供）：拟举办为期两天的有机化学和化学生物学区域研究研讨会，鼓励跨学科研究。目标参与者将是来自太平洋西北地区大学的高级本科生，他们在相关领域进行了重要的研究项目。研讨会的目的是为这些年轻科学家提供一个机会，以获得在专业会议式论坛上展示研究数据的宝贵经验，并促进有机化学、化学生物学以及相关生物医学学科的研究。因此，该活动将有助于培养、支持和鼓励来自该国机会相对较少的地区的一批国家未来的科学和医学专业人员。研讨会的名额将受到严格限制（大约30-35人），这样一来，小组气氛就会鼓励参与者之间进行重要的互动。此外，所有参加研讨会的学生都将在研讨会期间做一个实质性的报告，要么是研究海报，要么是演讲。参加者的选择将强调多样性（科学和个人），并将根据提交的摘要（稍后汇编和分发）进行，最好的提交将优先考虑可用的讲座时间。三位主讲人将就他们的研究发表演讲。主讲人将从学术界、医学院和工业界的一系列职位中选出，并在一系列研究领域（重点是跨学科研究）中选出。通过为所有被选中的与会者提供旅行奖，寻求NIGMS的支持，以促进来自整个太平洋西北地区最有才华的本科生广泛参与研讨会。
