PROJECT SUMMARY The Molecular Genetics of Bacteria and Phages (“Phage”) meeting is a long-standing national scientific conference that brings together investigators from the US and abroad to present and discuss advances in the molecular biology of bacteria and their viruses. The Phage Meeting is significant because it directly and positively impacts broad molecular research focused on the causative agents of human disease, commensals, symbionts and phages while prioritizing the training of a diverse scientific workforce. A long-standing objective of the Phage Meeting is to provide an engaging and encouraging forum for students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty to share their work in a collegial environment. The annual Phage Meeting originates from the Phage Meetings initiated in 1940 at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). The ~400 attendees of the five day meeting include undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty members and professional scientists from the private sector. The 2022 attendees hailed from 35 US states and 13 countries. Several innovative aspects distinguish the Phage meeting including mentoring tables for discussion of career paths, inclusivity, and diversity, the Sternberg Thesis Award for the most outstanding PhD thesis on bacterial or phage molecular genetics, trainee poster awards and community building events. The 2023 Phage Meeting will be held from August 7-11, 2023 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, an ASM-designated Milestones in Microbiology Site. Aligned with the tradition of past Phage Meetings, ~70% of the oral presentations for the 2023 meeting will be from postdoctoral scholars and graduate students, chosen from submitted abstracts. The remaining 30% of the presentations will be from faculty, including the Keynote and Session Chairs, and ~10 additional talks by young faculty chosen from the submitted abstracts. Of the invited talks for the 2023 meeting, 70% are female, and 20% are underrepresented scientists. 70% are Assistant or Associate Professors. The Keynote for the 2023 meeting will be Dr. Gigi Storz, a long-standing member of the Phage Meeting Community who is committed to promoting equity in science and advocating for scientists raising families. Dr. Storz will be present for the entire meeting to facilitate interaction between the faculty and trainees. We propose to select 13 meritorious trainees from the submitted abstracts for registration waivers to promote ethnic and gender diversity. We propose to provide childcare/ family care funding grants for trainees and faculty to support inclusivity. Together, the rigor and inclusivity of the scientific program, the focus on increasing gender and racial diversity of trainees, and the opportunities for interaction will positively impact the broad field of molecular biology of bacteria and their viruses.

项目摘要 细菌和噬菌体的分子遗传学（“噬菌体”）会议是一个长期的国家科学 会议，汇集了来自美国和国外的调查人员，介绍和讨论的进展， 细菌及其病毒的分子生物学。噬菌体会议意义重大，因为它直接和积极地 影响广泛的分子研究集中在人类疾病的病原体，寄生虫，共生体 同时优先考虑培养多样化的科学工作队伍。噬菌体的长期目标 会议旨在为学生、博士后研究员和初级教师提供一个引人入胜且鼓舞人心的论坛 在大学环境中分享他们的工作。一年一度的噬菌体会议起源于噬菌体会议 1940年在冷泉港实验室（CSHL）开始。在为期五天的会议上，约400名与会者 包括本科生和研究生、博士后学者、教职员工和专业人员 私营部门的科学家。2022名与会者来自美国35个州和13个国家。几 创新方面区分噬菌体会议，包括指导表的职业道路的讨论， 包容性和多样性，斯滕贝格论文奖颁发给细菌或噬菌体方面最杰出的博士论文 分子遗传学、实习生海报奖和社区建设活动。2023年噬菌体大会将举行 从2023年8月7日至11日在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校，一个ASM指定的微生物学Milestone 绝佳的价钱与过去噬菌体会议的传统保持一致，2023年会议的口头报告中约有70%将 来自博士后学者和研究生，从提交的摘要中选择。其余30%的 演讲将来自教师，包括主题演讲和会议主席，以及10个额外的演讲， 从提交的摘要中选出的年轻教师。在2023年会议的受邀演讲者中，70%是女性， 20%的人是代表性不足的科学家70%是助理或副教授。2023年的主题演讲 Gigi Storz博士，Phage Meeting社区的长期成员，致力于 促进科学公平，倡导科学家养家糊口。斯托茨医生将全程出席 会议，以促进教师和学员之间的互动。我们建议选出13名成绩优异的学员 从所提交的摘要中获得注册豁免，以促进种族和性别多样性。我们建议 为学员和教职员工提供儿童保育/家庭护理资助赠款，以支持包容性。在一起， 科学计划的包容性，注重增加受训人员的性别和种族多样性， 相互作用的机会将对细菌及其病毒的分子生物学的广泛领域产生积极影响。
