Scientific conferences serve a vital role in the exchange of new ideas and results among scientists funded by the NSF and by other national and international sources. Because the success of scientific research builds increasingly on very recent technical advances and findings, such exchanges serve to accelerate important research, increasing the return on research funding. This proposal will fund a national conference for developmental biologists, the 2012 Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting, centered this year on the theme of Innovations in Developmental Biology. This biennial conference is one of the two major conferences in the field of developmental biology. The 2012 conference, organized by Bob Goldstein, Amander Clark and John Tamkun, will be held August 8-11 on the University of California, Santa Cruz campus. There will be approximately 160 participants, including 28 invited speakers and keynote lectures on recent advances from a Nobel Laureate and two other scientists at the forefront of the field. Each speaker will present results from his/her laboratory's recent research, and workshops will be held on career development issues. Broader impacts from the conference will include the education and training of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who will become the educators, academic scientists and industry scientists of the future. Invited speakers were selected by the organizers based primarily on their contributions to the field and hence the likelihood that they would contribute significantly to exchanges that will advance the field, and secondarily balancing career stage, geography, gender, age, race, and experimental approaches, to help ensure broad exposure to a variety of novel contributions as well as valuable role models for the career development of young scientists. At the conclusion of the conference, results presented will be disseminated widely through publication in scientific journals.

科学会议在由 NSF 和其他国家和国际来源资助的科学家之间交流新思想和成果方面发挥着至关重要的作用。由于科学研究的成功越来越依赖于最新的技术进步和发现，因此这种交流有助于加速重要的研究，增加研究经费的回报。该提案将为发育生物学家全国会议（2012 年圣克鲁斯发育生物学会议）提供资金，该会议今年的主题是发育生物学创新。本次会议每两年一次，是发育生物学领域的两大会议之一。 2012 年会议由 Bob Goldstein、Amander Clark 和 John Tamkun 组织，将于 8 月 8 日至 11 日在加州大学圣克鲁斯分校举行。大约有 160 名与会者，其中包括 28 名特邀演讲者和一位诺贝尔奖获得者以及另外两位该领域最前沿科学家关于最新进展的主题演讲。每位演讲者将介绍其实验室最近的研究成果，并将举办有关职业发展问题的研讨会。此次会议的更广泛影响将包括研究生和博士后研究员的教育和培训，他们将成为未来的教育家、学术科学家和行业科学家。组织者主要根据他们对该领域的贡献以及他们为推动该领域的交流做出重大贡献的可能性来选择受邀演讲者，其次是平衡职业阶段、地理位置、性别、年龄、种族和实验方法，帮助确保年轻科学家广泛接触各种新颖的贡献以及职业发展的宝贵榜样。会议结束时，所提出的结果将通过在科学期刊上发表来广泛传播。
