Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Genes and Behavior, 2008Recent advances in genomics and molecular biology are making it possible for the first time to study the relationship between genes and behavior. To catalyze progress in this area, the Third Gordon Research Conference on Genes and Behavior is being organized (24-29 February 2008, at Barga, Italy). Funds received from NSF will be used to engage the active participation of a strong cohort of U.S. graduate and postdoctoral students in this conference by helping defray their travel and meeting costs. The Conference will focus on topics at the interface of animal behavior, neurobiology, genetics, molecular biology, ecology and evolutionary biology with an emphasis on the integration of molecular genetics, biotechnology and the behavioral sciences. Many of the speakers are current or past recipients of awards from the NSF Modulation program. All of the invited speakers and discussion leaders are highly regarded experts in their fields, and they were selected by the Conference Chair in consultation with a conference program committee and an ad-hoc committee of advisors. The Conference will provide a forum for the latest research linking genes to behavior, and should help identify gaps in knowledge and new strategies for promoting the integration of genomics and behavioral biology. Although graduate students and postdocs are the lifeblood of progress in science, they typically do not have access on their own to the funds required to attend a conference like this.

关于基因和行为的戈登研究会议（GRC），2008年基因组学和分子生物学方面的进步使得首次研究基因与行为之间的关系。为了促进这一领域的进步，正在组织第三届戈登基因和行为研究会议（2008年2月24日至29日，在意大利巴尔加）。从NSF获得的资金将用于参与本次会议上强大的美国毕业生和博士后学生的积极参与，以帮助支付旅行和满足费用。该会议将重点介绍动物行为，神经生物学，遗传学，分子生物学，生态学和进化生物学的界面，重点是分子遗传学，生物技术和行为科学的整合。许多演讲者都是NSF调制计划中当前或过去的获奖者。 所有受邀的发言人和讨论领导者都是其领域的备受推崇的专家，并由会议主席与会议计划委员会和临时顾问委员会协商。会议将为将基因与行为联系起来的最新研究提供一个论坛，并应帮助确定知识和新策略的差距，以促进基因组学和行为生物学的整合。尽管研究生和博士后是科学进步的命脉，但他们通常无法独自参加参加这样的会议所需的资金。
