This award will support student and/or postdoctoral participation in the Gordon Research Conference in Applied and Environmental Microbiology (GRC-AEM). The main goal of the conference is to present and discuss new, fundamental research findings related to the activities of microorganisms. The GRC-AEM embraces the philosophy that early dissemination of pioneering research into microbial physiology and metabolism facilitates translation of fundamental knowledge into practical application with contributions to ecosystems monitoring and management, bioremediation, bioenergy production and other commercial uses. This year the GRC-AEM has scheduled a series of topics that directly serve national and global interests and align with the missions put forth by the National Science Foundation. The scientific program illustrates attention given to globally significant themes ranging from nitrogen and phosphorous cycling in the ocean to the connection between gut microbiota and human health. Presenters were invited based upon their scientific contributions and their ongoing commitment to education and community outreach. This year the GRC-AEM also introduces the Gordon Research Seminar for Applied and Environmental Microbiology. The Gordon Research Seminar is a one and a half day meeting that precedes the GRC and is designed to provide graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and early career scientists the opportunity to present and discuss recent research findings on topics related to environmental impact and industrial application of microorganisms at the single cell and ecosystem level.The GRC-AEM has been a forum for the consideration of critical or even controversial issues that have led to the development of new technologies. The conference has always had a diverse theme of topics, covering the metabolic, physiologic and evolutionary diversity of microbial life, the complex roles that microorganisms play in life on Earth, and the multitude of applications of microbes in biotechnology, the food industry, agriculture, and medicine. The Conference has a long record of stimulating advanced research in industrial laboratories, colleges and universities, research foundations, and government laboratories.This year's conference will cover a diverse range of research areas including the ecophysiology of microbes, molecular ecology, genomics, metagenomics and postgenomic technologies, evolutionary diversity of microbial life, the complex roles that microorganisms play in life on Earth, and the many important applications of microbes in medicine, agriculture, biotechnology and the food industry. In continuing to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of cutting edge science in applied and environmental microbiology, the conference will hold scientific sessions on a wide range of microbes and how they sustain and protect our planet. The environments harboring microbes and how microbes adapt to these environments and interact with each other will be considered; for example biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and other elements in the terrestrial and marine environment, interactions between microbes and animals and between microbes and plants, virus-host interactions, microbial communication and signaling will be covered. The importance of new methods in microbial ecology, single cell technologies and the use of genomics and post-genomics in environmental and industrial microbiology will be also be covered. These topics, together with sessions on the use of microbes as fuel and bioenergy sources, as sources of natural products and in bioremediation and biocatalysis processes, will all provide platforms for established and newer researchers in the field to discuss a wide variety of aspects of the fundamental and applied aspects of environmental microbiology and to provide the driving force for innovation and impetus in this vibrant research field.

该奖项将支持学生和/或博士后参与应用程序和环境微生物学研究会议（GRC-AEM）。 会议的主要目标是介绍和讨论与微生物活动有关的新的，基本的研究结果。 GRC-AEM涵盖了以下哲学，即早期将开拓性研究转换为微生物生理和代谢，这促进了将基本知识转化为实用应用，并为生态系统监测和管理，生物化，生物能源生产和其他商业用途做出了贡献。今年，GRC-AEM安排了一系列主题，这些主题直接服务于国家和全球利益，并与国家科学基金会提出的任务保持一致。 该科学计划说明了对全球重要主题的关注，从氮和海洋中的磷循环到肠道微生物群和人类健康之间的联系。 根据他们的科学贡献以及对教育和社区宣传的持续承诺，邀请了演示者。 今年，GRC-AEM还介绍了应用和环境微生物学的戈登研究研讨会。 Gordon Research研讨会是在GRC之前进行的一个半天的会议，旨在为研究生，博士后研究员和早期职业科学家提供机会，有机会介绍和讨论有关与环境影响和微生物的工业应用有关的最新研究结果在单细胞和生态系统层面上，GRC-AEM一直是考虑到导致新技术发展的关键甚至有争议的问题的论坛。 会议始终以主题为主题，涵盖了微生物生活的代谢，生理和进化多样性，微生物在地球上的生命中起着复杂的作用，以及微生物在生物技术，食品工业，农业，农业，农业，农业，农业中的多种应用和医学。该会议在刺激工业实验室，大学，大学，研究基金会和政府实验室的高级研究方面有很长的记录。本年度的会议将涵盖各种各样的研究领域技术，微生物生命的进化多样性，微生物在地球生命中起的复杂作用以及微生物在医学，农业，生物技术和食品工业中的许多重要应用。在继续为应用和环境微生物学中的尖端科学演示和讨论的论坛时，会议将在各种微生物以及它们如何维持和保护我们的星球上举行科学会议。携带微生物以及微生物如何适应这些环境并彼此相互作用的环境将被考虑；例如，将涵盖碳，氮，硫和其他元素的生物地球化学循环，在陆地和海洋环境中，微生物与动物之间的相互作用以及微生物与植物之间的相互作用，病毒 - 宿主相互作用，微生物通信和信号传导。新方法在微生物生态学，单细胞技术以及基因组学和基因组学在环境和工业微生物学中的使用的重要性也将得到涵盖。这些主题以及有关使用微生物作为燃料和生物能源的会议，作为天然产品的来源以及生物修复和生物催化过程，都将为该领域的既定和新研究人员提供平台，以讨论各种方面环境微生物学的基本和应用方面，并在这个充满活力的研究领域提供创新和动力的驱动力。
