Evolutionary Developmental Biology (EvoDevo) is an integrative field that sits at the intersection of Evolutionary Biology, Developmental Biology, Genetics, Genomics, and Physiology. One main goal of EvoDevo is to understand how genotype gives rise to phenotype. But in addition, EvoDevo workers are interested in reconstructing the evolution of developmental mechanisms. One strategy to achieve this is to utilize naturally occurring variation between organisms to link genotype and phenotype and hence reveal how changes in genotype results in developmental and evolutionary change. To accomplish this, EvoDevo researchers apply modern developmental, genetic, genomic, and bioinformatic tools to a broad range of canonical and non-canonical model organisms. The mission of the Pan-American Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology (PASEDB) is to: 1) promote and support EvoDevo in the Americas, 2) provide a forum for communication and collaboration between workers in the field and related disciplines and, 3) promote training and education in EvoDevo and related disciplines. The members of PASEDB view the continued vitality and growth of the EvoDevo community as essential to progress and innovation in several fields, including some directly relevant to human and environmental health. PASEDB is also strongly committed to achieving appropriate representation of women, racial/ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, and other individuals who have been traditionally underrepresented in science. The main way PASEDB is addressing these concerns is by organizing a biennial conference where established researchers and trainees representing a diverse cross-section of the field can meet to exchange ideas, network, and establish collaborations. The activity will support the attendance of postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and junior faculty to the 2022 Biennial Meeting of PASEDB which will be held jointly with the Society for Developmental Biology in Vancouver, Canada. In doing so, the project will facilitate the exchange of ideas, collaborations, and sense of community needed to advance knowledge and train the next generation of scientists. Due to the highly interdisciplinary nature of the field, these benefits will extend to related fields including Evolutionary Biology, Developmental Biology, Genetics, Genomics, and Physiology. Attendees will also participate in several activities designed to help promote appropriate representation of women, racial/ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, and other individuals who have been traditionally underrepresented in science.The activity will support attendance of 8 postdoctoral scholars, 12 graduate students and 4 junior faculty at the 2022 Pan-American Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology. Attendees will participate in several activities designed to help promote the future leaders in EvoDevo and to achieve appropriate representation of groups traditionally underrepresented in science. These will include a postdoctoral fellow symposium, workshops for persons of color, members of the LGBTQ community, women in science, and EvoDevo researchers in Latin America. Participants will also be chosen to achieve gender parity, and at least 30% of funded attendees will be from groups traditionally underrepresented in science.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.

进化发育生物学（EvoDevo）是一个综合领域，位于进化生物学、发育生物学、遗传学、基因组学和生理学的交叉点。 EvoDevo 的主要目标之一是了解基因型如何产生表型。 但除此之外，EvoDevo 工作人员对重建发育机制的演化很感兴趣。 实现这一目标的一种策略是利用生物体之间自然发生的变异将基因型和表型联系起来，从而揭示基因型的变化如何导致发育和进化的变化。 为了实现这一目标，EvoDevo 研究人员将现代发育、遗传、基因组和生物信息学工具应用于广泛的规范和非规范模型生物。 泛美进化发育生物学学会 (PASEDB) 的使命是：1) 在美洲推广和支持 EvoDevo，2) 为该领域的工作者和相关学科之间的交流和合作提供一个论坛，3) 促进EvoDevo 及相关学科的培训和教育。 PASEDB 成员认为 EvoDevo 社区的持续活力和发展对于多个领域的进步和创新至关重要，其中包括一些与人类和环境健康直接相关的领域。 PASEDB 还坚定致力于实现妇女、少数种族/族裔、残疾人和其他传统上在科学领域代表性不足的个人的适当代表性。 PASEDB 解决这些问题的主要方式是组织两年一次的会议，代表该领域不同领域的知名研究人员和受训人员可以聚在一起交流想法、建立联系并建立合作。 该活动将支持博士后、研究生和初级教师参加 PASEDB 2022 年双年度会议，该会议将与发育生物学学会在加拿大温哥华联合举办。在此过程中，该项目将促进推进知识和培训下一代科学家所需的思想交流、合作和社区意识。 由于该领域的高度跨学科性质，这些好处将扩展到相关领域，包括进化生物学、发育生物学、遗传学、基因组学和生理学。 与会者还将参加多项活动，旨在帮助促进女性、少数族裔、残疾人和其他传统上在科学领域代表性不足的个人的适当代表性。该活动将支持 8 名博士后学者、12 名研究生和2022 年泛美进化发育生物学学会的 4 名初级教师。与会者将参加多项活动，旨在帮助提升 EvoDevo 的未来领导者，并实现传统上在科学领域代表性不足的群体的适当代表性。其中包括博士后研讨会、为有色人种、LGBTQ 群体成员、科学界女性和拉丁美洲 EvoDevo 研究人员举办的研讨会。 参与者还将被选择以实现性别平等，至少 30% 的受资助参与者将来自传统上在科学领域代表性不足的群体。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响进行评估，被认为值得支持审查标准。
