This proposal provides funding to help graduate students and postdoctoral researchers attend the inaugural meeting of the Gordon Research Conference on Predator-Prey Interactions in January 2014. This conference, subtitled "From genes to ecosystems to human mental health", brings together a wide array of researchers from fields such as ecology, evolution, physiology, and psychiatry to explore how predation risk (and, more broadly, the threat of bodily harm) affects organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems. While many researchers have examined these questions within a given system or species, there has been no opportunity for them to compare their findings and identify fruitful avenues for cross-disciplinary work. This conference aims to provide that opportunity, identifying areas of research synergy and spurring the interdisciplinary collaborations necessary to address them.This proposal targets students and postdoctoral researchers, with priority given to those individuals who are also members of under-represented groups. Partial funding will be provided to enable them to attend the conference. Giving them the opportunity to meet with leading researchers and present their own work will broaden their career opportunities. To share results of the conference with the widest possible audience, we will publish a mini-review of the research discussed in Open Ecology Journal, an open-access online journal indexed in Google Scholar.

This proposal provides funding to help graduate students and postdoctoral researchers attend the inaugural meeting of the Gordon Research Conference on Predator-Prey Interactions in January 2014. This conference, subtitled "From genes to ecosystems to human mental health", brings together a wide array of researchers from fields such as ecology, evolution, physiology, and psychiatry to explore how predation risk (and, more broadly, the threat of bodily harm)影响生物，人群，社区和生态系统。尽管许多研究人员在给定的系统或物种中检查了这些问题，但他们没有机会比较他们的发现并确定跨学科工作的富有成果的途径。这次会议旨在提供这一机会，确定研究协同的领域，并激发解决方案所需的跨学科合作。该提案针对学生和博士后研究人员，并优先考虑那些也是代表性不足群体的人。将提供部分资金，以使他们能够参加会议。 让他们有机会与领先的研究人员见面并介绍自己的工作将扩大他们的职业机会。为了与最广泛的受众分享会议的结果，我们将发布一项在Google Scholar索引的开放访问在线期刊《 Open Ecology Journal》中讨论的研究的迷你审查。
