Graduate Training in the Physics of Living Systems (PoLS) - A one-day workshop at the NSF; Arlington, VA

在这个项目中，PI将邀请来自几所大学(加州大学圣地亚哥分校、约翰·霍普金斯大学、哈佛大学、马里兰大学、伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳香槟分校和英国剑桥大学)的代表，这些大学是生命系统物理学跨学科领域发展的先驱，他们将与NSF的项目主任一起在NSF举行为期一天的会议，制定课程并讨论物理学与生物学交界处的研究生培养计划。这次会议将允许不同的项目比较和对比不同的想法和不同的经验，关于如何制定适当的方法和主题的组合。事实证明，这样的思想汇聚对于调整现有的项目和为许多其他部门提供指导将是非常宝贵的，这些部门正在积极地将更多的生物物理学纳入他们的组合中。

In this project the PI will bring representatives from several Universities (UCSD, Johns Hopkins University, Harvard University, University of Maryland, University of Illinois at Urbana Champagne, and Cambridge University in the UK), which are pioneers in the development of the interdisciplinary field of Physics of Living Systems together with Program Directors at NSF for a one-day meeting at NSF to chart a course and discuss a graduate training program at the interface between physics and biology. This meeting would allow for different programs to compare and contrast different ideas and varying experiences regarding how to formulate the proper mix of methods and subjects. Such a meeting of the minds would prove invaluable for tuning existing programs and for offering guidance to the many other departments who are moving aggressively towards incorporating more biological physics in their mix.
