Exploring Frontiers in Plant Systems Biology

提案编号：1249698该奖项支持将于2012年秋季在北卡罗来纳州罗利市北卡罗来纳州立大学(NCSU)的大学俱乐部举办的题为：探索植物系统生物学前沿？的研讨会。研讨会将使对植物系统生物学感兴趣的美国和国际研究人员聚集在一起，讨论、突出局限性，并集中讨论与植物系统大规模设计的可行性和必要的技术和实验进展相关的关键问题。研讨会的主要目的是：1)探索和确定与植物系统生物学不断发展的学科相关的互补兴趣、需求和机会的领域；2)确定主要的研究重大挑战，并从生物学、计算和工程角度探索该领域的潜在限制；3)为未来的合作制定资金战略。将编写一份讲习班报告，讲习班产生的所有数据和相关信息将通过国家科协主办的专门为讲习班创建的网站提供给研究界。对这项提议的支持金额为：48,516.Garie A.Fordyce，MS.c，EFRI工程委员会国家科学基金会项目经理

Abstract for Proposal number: 1249698This award supports a workshop with title: ?Exploring Frontiers in Plant Systems Biology?, to be held in Raleigh, North Carolina, on the campus of North Carolina State University (NCSU) at the University Club, in the Fall of 2012. The workshop will bring together US and international researchers with interests in plant systems biology to discuss, highlight limitations, and focus on critical questions associated with feasibility and necessary technological and experimental advances for large-scale design of plant systems. The main purpose for the workshop is to: 1) Explore and identify areas of complementary interests, needs, and opportunities associated with the growing discipline of Plant Systems Biology, 2) Identify the primary research grand challenges and explore potential limits of the field from both the biological, computational, and engineering perspectives and, 3) Formulate funding strategies for future collaborations. A workshop report will be written and all data and related information generated from the workshop will be made available to the research community through an NCSU hosted website that will be created specifically for the workshop. The amount of support for this proposal is: $48,516.Garie A. Fordyce, MS.cProgram Manager, EFRI Directorate for Engineering National Science Foundation
