This project supports advancement of the developing fields of ecological and evolutionary genomics through support of the 2009 Gordon Conference on Ecology and Evolutionary Functional Genomics. It will accomplish this through funding the travel costs of about 40 speakers, post-doctoral speakers, post-docs, and graduate students to attend the semi-annual conference. Ecological and evolutionary genomics have wide applicability and importance, but conferences that focus on application of genomic technologies to ecology and evolutionary questions are uncommon in the United States. The conference will provide an important forum for linking scientists and scientific information from diverse disciplines and for sparking research agendas at the frontiers of ecological and evolutionary genomics. Topics at the conference are diverse and include genomics of host-parasite and host-symbiont interactions, evolution of infectious disease, microbial metagenomics, genomics of development and behavior, and sequencing technologies. Additionally, a special session on global change genomics will highlight this important force and genomic approaches to better understanding and managing its effects. The conference is broadly interdisciplinary, and the speakers include a diverse mix of junior and senior scientists, including many women and members of underrepresented groups. The overall structure of the conference is well-designed to promote interactions among participants. Increased participation in the meeting by young scientists will be supported by this project.

该项目通过支持2009年戈登生态和进化功能基因组学会议来支持生态和进化基因组学的发展领域的发展。它将通过资助大约40名演讲者，博士后演讲者，博士后和研究生的旅行费用来完成这一目标，以参加半年会议。生态和进化基因组学具有广泛的适用性和重要性，但是在美国，集中于将基因组技术应用于生态学和进化问题的会议并不常见。 该会议将为一个重要的论坛提供一个重要的论坛，以将科学家和科学信息与不同学科的科学信息联系起来，并在生态和进化基因组学的前沿引发研究议程。会议上的主题是多种多样的，包括宿主 - 寄生虫和宿主 - 伴侣相互作用的基因组学，传染病的进化，微生物宏基因组学，发展和行为的基因组学以及测序技术。 此外，关于全球变化基因组学的特别会议将突出这种重要的力量和基因组方法，以更好地理解和管理其效果。会议是广泛的跨学科，演讲者包括初级和高级科学家的多样化组合，包括许多妇女和人数不足的团体成员。会议的整体结构是精心设计的，以促进参与者之间的互动。该项目将支持年轻科学家参加会议的参与。
