2018 Chromatin Structure and Function GRS; July 21-22, 2018; Newry, Maine

该奖项将支持早期职业科学家出席首届戈登研究研讨会染色质结构和功能，这将是在约旦酒店，纽里，缅因州7月22日至27日2018年。 会议的形式是讲座和海报相结合，这将促进正式和非正式场合的科学交流。 一个会议是专门为早期职业科学家的专业发展和指导。本次会议将有充分的机会分享最新的研究成果和网络。本次会议将涵盖染色质组织和基因组结构的广泛主题，以及染色质调节对生理和疾病的影响。 染色质生物学领域已经显着增长，并贡献了新的概念和技术，推动了科学的界限并影响了相关领域。 会议将包括关于尖端技术的发展以及如何利用这些技术以新颖的方式回答问题的讨论和会谈。 染色质生物学和表观遗传学领域正在快速发展，本次会议为来自世界各地的早期职业科学家提供了一个展示他们在这些领域的最新贡献的场所。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will support the attendance of early career scientists at the inaugural Gordon Research Seminar on Chromatin Structure and Function, which will be at the Jordan Hotel, Newry, Maine on July 22-27 of 2018. The format of the meeting is a combination of talks and posters, which will promote scientific exchange in both formal and informal settings. One session is devoted to the professional development and mentoring of early career scientists. There will be ample opportunity for sharing the latest research results and for networking.This meeting will cover the broad topics of chromatin organization and genome architecture, and the impact of chromatin regulation on physiology and disease. The field of chromatin biology has grown significantly, and has contributed new concepts and technologies that have pushed scientific boundaries and impacted related fields. Discussions and talks regarding the development of cutting-edge technologies and how such technologies can be used to answer questions in novel ways will be included at the meeting. The fields of chromatin biology and epigenetics are moving at a fast pace, and this meeting provides a venue for early career scientists from around the world to present their latest contributions to these fields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
