This award is in support of a two-day meeting entitled "How Molecules Come to Life: Biophysics Vision 2016" to be held in the Westin Arlington Gateway, Arlington, Virginia, April 28-29, 2011. This meeting will convene about 20 speakers that represent new emerging areas of biophysics research, and will be attended by NSF personnel, including program directors. The goal of physics is to explain the world around us using a set of guiding principles that are quantitative, simple and universal all at the same time. One of the great challenges for physics in this new millennium is to achieve this goal with regards to the world of living systems. The goal of the meeting is to address the creation of a quantitative narrative for the living organism, and to attempt to apply simple physical principles towards the understanding of living systems. This meeting will bring together scientists to present their views on where the physics of living cells stands and where it can go in the coming years. The format of the meeting is designed to provide attendees with ample opportunities to actively participate in the scientific discourse. This Workshop represents a unique vehicle to promote the development of new technologies and the dissemination of emerging technologies with novel applications to important biological problems. The members of the workshop represent diverse scientists at different stages of their careers, from both academia and industry, from both the life and physical sciences. At least 25% of the members are women. Part of the discussion of this workshop will be to explore how best to educate a new generation of scientists to think about how molecules come to life. An understanding of the fundamental relationships between living and non-living systems is critical to an understanding of the life sciences and their impact on the world around us.This workshop is jointly supported by the Biomolecular Dynamics, Structure and Function Cluster in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences in the Directorate for Biological Sciences, and the Physics of Living Systems Program in the Physics Division in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

该奖项是为了支持为期两天的会议，题为“分子如何栩栩如生：2016年生物物理学愿景”将在2011年4月28日至29日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的威斯汀·阿灵顿盖特威举行。这次会议将召集约20位代表生物物理学研究的新出现的演讲者，并将代表NSF计划的新兴领域，包括计划负责人，包括计划负责人，包括计划负责人。 物理学的目的是使用一套定量，简单和通用的指导原则来解释我们周围的世界。在这个新千年中，物理学面临的巨大挑战之一是实现这一目标在生活系统的世界中。 会议的目的是解决为生物体创建定量叙事，并试图将简单的物理原则应用于对生命系统的理解。这次会议将汇集科学家对活细胞物理学的立场以及未来几年可以进行的何处的看法。 会议的格式旨在为与会者提供充足的机会积极参与科学话语。该研讨会代表了一种独特的工具，旨在促进新技术的开发以及新兴技术的传播，并在重要的生物学问题上使用新颖的应用。 研讨会的成员在其职业生涯的不同阶段，来自学术界和工业，生活和身体科学的不同阶段都代表了多元化的科学家。 至少有25％的成员是女性。 讨论该研讨会的一部分将是探索如何最好地教育新一代的科学家，以思考分子如何栩栩如生。 了解生活和非生活系统之间的基本关系对于了解生命科学及其对我们周围世界的影响至关重要。本研讨会由生物分子动态，结构和功能集群共同支持分子和细胞生物科学在生物科学领域的分子和细胞生物学家的划分。
