Conference: 1999 Summer Gordon Research Conferences

戈登研究会议的各种科学主题，每年夏天举行，讨论最新的发现和当前的思想。 虽然参与人数有限，但与会者通常包括知名科学家、在这些领域做出重要贡献的年轻研究人员、博士后研究员和研究生。 他们通常在新英格兰与世隔绝的小城镇举行，远离其他干扰，有利于思想的自由交流。 最近在欧洲也举行了一些会议。 这些会议具有公认的价值，可以展示研究的最新进展，也可以表明研究的未来趋势。 BIO董事会的项目多年来一直支持与其项目支持的研究相关的各种戈登会议。这个奖项反映了董事会的一些方案对1999年夏季举行的各种戈登会议的支持。

The Gordon Research Conferences on various scientific topics, are held every summer to discuss recent findings and current thinking. Although participation is limited, the attendees usually consist of established scientists, young investigators who are making important contributions in these areas, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. They are usually held in small isolated New England towns away from other distractions, and are conducive to the free exchange of ideas. Recently some conferences have also been held in Europe. These conferences have a recognized value for presenting the latest advances in research and also for indicating the future trends in research. The programs in the BIO directorate have given support for a number of years, to various Gordon Conferences which are relevant to the research their programs support. This award reflects the support of a number of programs in the directorate for various Gordon Conferences to be held in the Summer of 1999.
