The 2010 Rustbelt RNA Meeting (RRM) will be held October 22-23, 2010 at the Crown Plaza City Center in Cleveland, OH. The intellectual objective of the RRM is to provide an inexpensive, high caliber, interdisciplinary meeting for RNA researchers in the Midwest. The field of RNA structure, function, and processing is growing at a rapid pace and RNA has been shown to be intimately involved in many important biological phenomena such as carcinogenesis and development beyond its obvious prominent role in transcription and translation. At the same time the methods used to study RNA are becoming more and more diverse ranging from synthetic and physical chemistry over biochemistry, genetics, and biophysical approaches all the way to computational methods. Consequently, research groups need a forum where they can hear and discuss new results and techniques in all areas of RNA research that can result in furthering an individual lab?s aims. The size and organization of the meeting has proven to be an excellent environment for active discussions between research groups, including those between principal investigators, principal investigators and trainees, as well as between trainees themselves. Such interactions are more difficult at larger national meetings. Due to the success and popularity of the RRM, this meeting includes research groups from Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and other adjoining states.The broader impact of the RRM is in trainee and junior faculty development. The RRM strongly emphasizes trainee participation. The RRM features graduate and undergraduate student participation, from institutions ranging from large research-intensive universities to small, primarily undergraduate colleges. In addition to offering opportunities for interactions with Principal Investigators and other trainees, the RRM provides invaluable experience presenting research in an educational and supportive atmosphere. Importantly, trainees account for the vast majority (~ 90%) of both poster and oral presentations. Such presentations instill confidence in the trainees and inspire trainees in the audience to present their results orally in the future. To encourage the speakers further, prizes are awarded for outstanding trainee presentations. The smaller size of the RRM also benefits trainee poster presenters because of the greater attention paid to them by principal investigators. Finally, the RRM is an excellent forum for junior investigators to showcase their emerging research programs.

2010年Rustbelt RNA会议（RRM）将于2010年10月22日至23日在俄亥俄州克利夫兰的皇冠广场市中心举行。 RRM的智力目标是为中西部的RNA研究人员提供廉价，高素质的跨学科会议。 RNA结构，功能和处理的领域正在以快速的速度增长，RNA已被证明与许多重要的生物学现象密切相关，例如癌变和发育，超出其在转录和翻译中明显的重要作用。同时，用于研究RNA的方法正变得越来越多样化，从合成和物理化学对生物化学，遗传学和生物物理方法一直到计算方法。因此，研究小组需要一个论坛，他们可以在RNA研究的所有领域中听到并讨论新的结果和技术，从而导致个人实验室的目标。事实证明，会议的规模和组织是研究小组之间积极讨论的绝佳环境，包括主要研究人员，首席研究人员和学员以​​及学员本身之间的研究小组。在更大的国家会议上，这种互动更加困难。由于RRM的成功和普及，这次会议包括来自印第安纳州，密歇根州，宾夕法尼亚州，印第安纳州，伊利诺伊州，肯塔基州和其他毗邻州的研究小组。RRM的更广泛影响是在受训者和初级教师发展中。 RRM强烈强调受训者的参与。 RRM的毕业生和本科生的参与，从大型研究密集大学到小型大学学院的机构。除了提供与主要研究人员和其他学员互动的机会外，RRM还提供了宝贵的经验，在教育和支持性的氛围中展示研究。重要的是，学员占海报和口头表现的绝大多数（约90％）。这样的演示文稿灌输了对学员的信心，并激发了听众的学员在未来的口头表现。为了进一步鼓励演讲者，以出色的学员演讲获得奖品。 RRM的尺寸较小，也使受训人员的海报演示者受益，因为主要研究人员对他们的关注更加关注。最后，RRM是初级调查人员展示其新兴研究计划的绝佳论坛。
