The Enabling Discovery through Genomic Tools (EDGE) program was established in 2016 to provide tools, approaches and associated infrastructure that are critically needed to directly test gene function in diverse non-canonical model organisms. Funds are provided to support the participation of the scientific leaders and key personnel of currently funded EDGE projects in a one-day EDGE awardee meeting to be held on April 29, 2019 in Alexandria, VA. This inaugural meeting offers opportunities for EDGE project personnel to network and discuss the progress, pitfalls and long-term scientific and societal implications of these important resource development projects. In addition, participants will learn about and discuss novel strategies and best practices related to rapid and efficient dissemination of resources and knowledge gained from their respective projects. As all these projects have the common theme of potentially catalyzing larger communities of investigators with new techniques, this meeting will also provide an opportunity for participants to discuss how best to engage with and communicate project outcomes between research communities and to a broader public audience. It is the hope that this meeting will initiate a long-term dialog about the consequences of the use of novel techniques in non-canonical model systems, both for greater scientific insight as well as potential broader impacts for society.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.

通过基因组工具（EDGE）计划的启用发现是在2016年建立的，以提供工具，方法和相关的基础架构，这些工具和相关的基础架构是至关重要的，以直接在不同的非基本模​​型生物体中直接测试基因功能。 提供资金来支持当前资助的边缘项目的科学领导者和关键人员的参与，该项目将于2019年4月29日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市举行。这次就职会议为Edge项目人员提供了交流的机会，并讨论了这些重要的资源开发项目的进度，陷阱以及长期的科学和社会影响。此外，参与者将学习并讨论与从各自项目中获得的快速有效传播资源和知识有关的新颖策略和最佳实践。由于所有这些项目的共同主题是潜在地催化研究人员使用新技术的社区，因此这次会议还将为参与者提供一个机会，讨论如何最好地与研究社区之间和更广泛的公众受众之间的项目成果进行交流和传达。希望这次会议将启动有关非典型模型系统中新型技术的后果的长期对话，既可以为更大的科学见解，又可能对社会产生更广泛的影响。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和广泛的影响来评估CRETERIA的评估，这是值得的。
