This award will partially support a Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Stochastic Physics in Biology, to be held in Ventura, CA, January 15-20, 2023. The meeting aims to bridge stochastic physical theories with biological experiments by bringing together an outstanding and diverse group of physicists, mathematicians, engineers, and biologists at the forefront of research. It will address emerging challenges in understanding complex behaviors of biological systems using principles and theories in stochastic physics. The conference is preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), a unique forum for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and other junior scientists to present new, unpublished research. The 2023 GRS in conjunction with the 2023 GRC Stochastic Physics in Biology is titled “Multiscale processes of cellular organization”. The conference is organized to optimize collaboration and communication among researchers from diverse disciplines. Sessions foster cross-disciplinary communication by including speakers from different disciplines, with introductions by discussion leaders that bridge the different disciplines. The program is organized around nine sessions that define the frontiers of Biological Physics: 1) Stochastic Physics in Gene Expression, 2) Sensing and Signaling, 3) Modeling if Cellular Processes, 4) Thermodynamics if Biological Systems, 5) Inference of Biological Models and Pathways, 6) Microbial Behaviors in Singles and Communities, 7) Pattern Formation in Biological Systems, 8) Growth and Development, and 9) Spatial Organization of Biological Functions and Activities. The program promotes networking through scheduled and informal discussion times, poster sessions, social hours, and Power Hour ™.Broader impacts of this award include fostering interdisciplinary science, increasing the diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI) of the Biological Physics community, and the training and career development for early career researchers. The 2023 GRC Stochastic Physics in Biology is committed to developing a diverse program and inclusive conference atmosphere. Participants were selected to ensure proportional representation of women and underrepresented minorities. To increase the participation of underrepresented minority (URM) scientists at the meeting, the organizers will reach out to known URM networks: (1) the Black Women in Computational Biological Network, (2) Bouchett Honor Graduate Society, (3) Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science - SACNAS, (4) Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists -ABRCMS, (5) UMBC Meyerhoff Scholars Program Alum Association, and (6) Black in Biophysics @BlackInBiophys/Twitter.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.

该奖项将部分支持将于 2023 年 1 月 15 日至 20 日在加利福尼亚州文图拉举行的关于生物学中随机物理的戈登研究会议 (GRC)。该会议旨在通过汇集杰出的和会议由处于研究前沿的物理学家、数学家、工程师和生物学家组成，它将解决利用随机物理学原理和理论理解生物系统复杂行为的新挑战。戈登研究研讨会 (GRS) 是一个为研究生、博士后研究员和其他初级科学家展示新的、未发表的研究的独特论坛，2023 年 GRS 与 2023 年 GRC 生物学随机物理学的标题为“细胞组织的多尺度过程”。该会议的组织目的是优化来自不同学科的研究人员之间的合作和交流，会议通过包括来自不同学科的演讲者以及连接不同学科的讨论领导者的介绍来促进跨学科交流。围绕定义生物物理学前沿的九个会议组织：1）基因表达中的随机物理学，2）传感和信号传导，3）细胞过程建模，4）生物系统热力学，5）生物模型和途径的推理， 6) 个体和群落中的微生物行为，7) 生物系统中的模式形成，8) 生长和发育，以及 9) 微生物的空间组织生物功能和活动。该计划通过预定和非正式的讨论时间、海报会议、社交时间和 Power Hour™ 来促进交流。该奖项的更广泛影响包括促进跨学科科学，提高生物多样性、公平性和包容性 (DEI)。生物物理学社区以及早期职业研究人员的培训和职业发展 2023 年 GRC 生物学随机物理学致力于开发多样化的项目和包容性的会议氛围，以确保女性和女性的比例代表性。为了增加代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 科学家在会议上的参与，组织者将联系已知的 URM 网络：(1) 计算生物学网络中的黑人妇女，(2) Bouchett 荣誉研究生协会，(3)奇卡诺人/西班牙裔和美洲原住民科学促进会 - SACNAS，(4) 少数族裔科学家年度生物医学研究会议 -ABRCMS，(5) UMBC Meyerhoff 学者计划明矾协会和 (6) 生物物理学布莱克@BlackInBiophys/Twitter。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
