NRAMM Biennial Workshop on Advanced Topics in EM Structure Determination

描述（由申请人提供）：我们正在申请资金，以部分支持由国家资源自动分子显微镜主办的两年期研讨会，2012年11月和2014年11月。这个持续的研讨会建立在一个完善的和非常成功的系列（在2003年11月举行，2005年，2007年，2009年），对科学家使用分子显微镜作为一种结构技术的社区产生了很大的影响。研讨会的主要目的是提供一个场所，集中讨论分子显微镜领域面临的最紧迫的技术挑战。该研讨会汇集了高级思想领袖，追求新方法的新研究人员，博士后研究员，研究生，其他领域的既定研究人员，工业合作伙伴和其他感兴趣的各方，在密集的学习，互动和讨论周。讲习班的专题介绍以幻灯片和音频文件的形式通过一个网站向广大社区传播，大大增加了讲习班的影响，使其超过了一周的时间和约140名参加者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting funds in partial support of a biennial workshop to be hosted by the National Resource for Automated Molecular Microscopy, in November 2012 and November 2014. This continuing workshop builds on a well-established and very successful series (held in November 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009) that has had a high impact on the community of scientists using molecular microcopy as a structural technique. The primary objective of the workshop is to provide a venue for focused discussion of the most pressing technical challenges facing the field of molecular microscopy. The workshop brings together senior thought leaders, new investigators pursuing novel approaches, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, established investigators in others fields, industrial partners, and other interested parties, in an intensive week of learning, interaction and discussion. The workshop presentations, in the form of slides and audio files, are disseminated via a web site to the general community, which substantially increases the impact of the workshop beyond the one week duration and the ~140 participants.
