CONFERENCE: 42nd Maize Genetics Meeting

这是对将于2000年3月18-21日在爱达荷州Coeur d‘Alene举行的第42届玉米遗传学会议的请求。这次会议包括玉米界的所有成员，并为研究生提供了在有利于这种互动的环境中与遗传学和生物学领域的资深科学家见面和互动的机会。学生们有机会在海报会议和/或演讲中讨论他们的研究想法，并开始建立科学网络，这些网络将在他们的职业生涯中被证明是无价的。多年来，国家科学基金会一直支持这次会议，并请求提供支持。参加会议的科学家们的报告一致热情。此外，预计所有知识渊博的科学家都将出席会议，因此将发生冲突。因此，正如《政府采购小组》122.1-C3(B)所允许的那样，在提出这一支持建议之前，该提案没有经过同行审查。应该指出的是，有几个项目对本次会议的总体支持做出了贡献：植物基因组学(DBI)、遗传学(MCB)、种群生物学(DEB)、发育生物学(IBN)和综合植物生物学(IBN)。热情推荐支持。

This is a request for support for the 42nd Maize Genetics Meeting to be held March 18-21, 2000 at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. This meeting includes all members of the maize community and provides an opportunity for graduate students to meet and interact with senior scientists in the field of genetics and biology in a setting conducive to such interaction. The students are given the opportunity to discuss their research ideas at poster sessions and/or talks and to begin to establish the scientific networks that will prove invaluable throughout their careers. The NSF has supported this meeting for all of the years that support has been requested. The reports from scientists who have attended the meetings have been uniformly enthusiastic. Moreover, all knowledgeable scientists would be expected to be attending the meeting and would therefore be in conflict. Thus, as allowed by 122.1-C3(b) in the GPG the proposal was not peer reviewed prior to this recommendation for support. It should be noted that several Programs have contributed to the overall support of this conference: Plant Genomics (DBI), Genetics (MCB), Population Biology (DEB), Developmental Biology (IBN) and Integrative Plant Biology (IBN). Support is enthusiastically recommended.
