SPP 1879: Nucleotide Second Messenger Signaling in Bacteria

DFG优先项目SPP 1879是一个研究细菌第二信使信号的研究联盟。它的研究计划代表了第一个系统和全面的战略，以了解细菌中核苷酸第二信使信号的所有基本方面，包括细菌王国所有分支的代表和广泛的跨学科的最先进的方法。SPP 1879项目的第一阶段于2016年9月1日开始，共有18个研究项目，涉及22个参与研究小组和来自德国和瑞士的大学和其他研究机构的8名准成员。除了直接资助研究外，SPP 1879还通过组织国际研讨会和小型科学会议以及交换项目同事来促进知识交流与合作。它通过为早期职业和女性研究人员提供特殊支持来促进性别平等。根据该提案，申请资金用于在第二个资助期（2019年9月1日至2022年8月31日）协调SPP 1879及其所有合作科学活动。

The DFG priority programme SPP 1879 is a research consortium studying bacterial second messenger signaling. Its research programme represents the first systematic and comprehensive strategy to understand all fundamental aspects of nucleotide second messenger signaling in bacteria, by including representatives of all clades of the bacterial kingdom and a wide and interdisciplinary spectrum of state-of-the-art methodologies. The first period of SPP 1879 programme started on 1 September 2016 with 18 research projects involving 22 participating research groups and 8 associate members from universities and other research institutions in Germany and Switzerland. Besides funding research directly, SPP 1879 promotes knowledge exchange and cooperation by organizing international symposia and smaller scientific meetings as well as the exchange of project co-workers. It promotes gender equality by providing special support for early career and female researchers. With this proposal, funds are applied for the coordination of SPP 1879 and all its collaborative scientific activities during the second funding period (1 September 2019 - 31 August 2022).
