Biological systems are extremely diverse and complex, possessing enormous variation. Understanding the mechanisms by which biological systems work is one of the fundamental scientific challenges of our time. Rules of Life offer principles - which are broadly applicable across bacteria, plants, and animals - that can be the basis for organized research programs that address the challenge of understanding nature. Unlike a traditional workshop or conference, the format of the Summit is designed to build interdisciplinary connections through provocative talks, panel discussions, and focused break-out sessions. Additionally, talks on emerging technologies and methods will broaden the perspectives of participants who may not have prior exposure to these tools. The two follow-up workshops will encourage participants to plan how connections made at the Summit can be long lasting and lead to concrete outcomes.The Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI) will organize a Summit on the Rules of Life in June 2019. This project will support the development of a networked community of researchers seeking to better understand the fundamental mechanisms that govern biological systems. This community will be convened at a Summit on the Rules of Life held at the Mathematical Biosciences Institute in Columbus, OH. Prominent biological scientists from across the world, together with newer researchers and individuals with expertise in emerging technologies and mathematical/statistical methodologies, will jointly explore the common principles that govern biological systems. Video of the plenary lectures, panel discussions, and emerging technologies/methods talks delivered at the Summit will be live streamed and archived on the MBI website for later viewing. The Summit will lead to two shorter follow-up workshops on emerging themes.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

生物系统非常多样化和复杂，具有巨大的变化。了解生物系统工作的机制是我们这个时代的基本科学挑战之一。生命规则提供的原则 - 广泛适用于细菌，植物和动物 - 可以成为应对理解自然挑战的有组织研究计划的基础。与传统的研讨会或会议不同，首脑会议的格式旨在通过挑衅性的谈判，小组讨论和集中的突破性会议来建立跨学科的联系。此外，关于新兴技术和方法的谈判将扩大可能没有事先接触这些工具的参与者的观点。 这两个后续研讨会将鼓励参与者计划在峰会上建立的联系如何持久，并导致具体的结果。数学生物科学研究所（MBI）将在2019年6月在2019年6月的生活规则上组织峰会。该项目将支持一个网络社区的发展社区，以寻求更好地了解基本机构的研究人员的发展。 该社区将在俄亥俄州哥伦布的数学生物科学研究所举行的生命规则峰会上召集。 来自世界各地的著名生物学科学家，以及具有新兴技术和数学/统计方法论专业知识的新研究人员和个人，将共同探索控制生物系统的共同原理。 全体演讲，小组讨论以及在峰会上提供的新兴技术/方法谈话的视频将在MBI网站上进行直播和存档，以供以后查看。 该峰会将导致有关新兴主题的两个更短的后续研讨会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
