The 25th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Sensory Transduction in Microorganisms (STIM) focuses on science that seeks to understand how microbes sense and respond to their environment for maximal survival and success. The broader significance of this project is to promote the communication among scientists from different disciplines and career stages and thereby facilitate interdisciplinary and international collaborations for the study of sensory transduction in microorganisms. The diversity of topics and participants will be a catalyst for developing strategies and collaborations to confront fundamental questions in microbiology research and its applications. This project is of broader importance to agricultural, environmental, and biomedical sectors by providing strategies for therapy including the manipulation of microbiomes. This project has a broader significance, as the conference team is committed to training and mentoring graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, especially underrepresented minorities and women. The associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) represents an opportunity for young scientists to run their own meeting, take ownership of the research field and discuss these questions with peers and mentors in a forum that is found rarely at other meetings. One of the most significant broader impacts of the project is to initiate and build long lasting networks and collaborations among talented junior scientists and retain this next generation of scientists in the multidisciplinary field of sensory transduction in microorganisms. Specifically, the involvement of trainees that are historically underrepresented in science, will be emphasized. In addition to learning about cutting-edge research in their fields, trainees will be nurtured in other aspects of their professional development. A special focus will be to support female trainees, trainees from underrepresented minorities, and trainees from disadvantaged backgrounds. The 25th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Sensory Transduction in Microorganisms (STIM) will be held at the Ventura Beach Marriott in California, January 21st to 26th, 2024, preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) for trainees from January 20th to 21st. GRC conferences are well-known for their attributes that promote scientific interactions between participants and expose all to cutting edge science. GRC presentations must emphasize unpublished, recent findings of exceptional significance, creating a stimulating atmosphere. The GRC meeting fosters a sense of community due to the relatively small size, and the fact that all the participants stay together at the same location, sharing meals and leisure time with one another. This structure greatly facilitates casual interactions that reduce the barriers between established and junior researchers. In addition, this STIM conference will be the fourth one that will hold a GRS for students and postdocs. The GRS provides a small, welcoming setting where junior scientists are meet each other, present and discuss their research, and examine preparing for various careers. Results from this project will transform our current concepts of microbial sensory transduction from the levels of molecular mechanism to host-microbe interactions. Participants will present basic and applied research on the mechanisms underlying properties of pathogens and beneficial microbes. The proposed topics will advance and transform our knowledge of the mechanisms used by microorganisms to sense and react to their environment, which will open avenues for the development of novel and innovative strategies for a variety of practical applications.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.

第25届戈登研究会议（GRC）关于微生物的感觉转导（STIM）的重点是旨在了解微生物如何感知和对其环境的最大生存和成功的环境的科学。该项目的更广泛的意义是促进来自不同学科和职业阶段的科学家之间的沟通，从而促进跨学科和国际合作，以研究微生物的感觉转导。主题和参与者的多样性将是制定战略和协作以面对微生物研究及其应用中的基本问题的催化剂。该项目通过提供包括微生物组的操纵的策略来对农业，环境和生物医学领域更为重要。该项目具有更广泛的意义，因为会议团队致力于培训和指导研究生和博士后研究员，尤其是代表性不足的少数民族和妇女。相关的戈登研究研讨会（GRS）为年轻科学家提供了自己的会议，拥有研究领域的所有权并与同行和导师在其他会议上很少发现的论坛中讨论这些问题的机会。该项目最重要的更广泛的影响之一是在有才华的初级科学家中启动和建立持久的网络和合作，并将下一代科学家保留在微生物的感觉转导的多学科领域中。具体而言，将强调历史上代表性不足的学员的参与，将被强调。除了学习其领域的尖端研究外，学员还将在其专业发展的其他方面进行培养。一个特别的重点是支持女性受训者，来自代表性不足的少数族裔的学员以及来自弱势背景的学员。第25届戈登研究会议（GRC）关于微生物的感觉转导（STIM）将于2024年1月21日至26日在加利福尼亚州的文图拉海滩万豪酒店举行，此前是1月20日至21日的戈登研究研讨会（GRS）。 GRC会议以其属性而闻名，这些属性促进了参与者之间的科学相互作用，并将所有人暴露于尖端科学。 GRC演示必须强调未发表的最新发现，具有出色的意义，从而产生了令人兴奋的氛围。 GRC会议由于规模相对较小而产生了一种社区感，并且所有参与者都在同一地点在一起，共享餐点和闲暇时间的事实。这种结构极大地促进了休闲相互作用，以减少既定研究人员和初级研究人员之间的障碍。此外，这次刺激会议将是第四次会议，该会议将为学生和博士后持有GRS。 GRS提供了一个小的，热情的环境，初级科学家互相见面，呈现并讨论他们的研究，并检查为各种职业做准备。该项目的结果将使我们当前的微生物感觉转导概念从分子机制的水平转变为宿主微叶相互作用。参与者将介绍有关病原体和有益微生物的基础机制的基本和应用研究。拟议的主题将提高和改变我们对微生物感知和对环境反应的机制的了解，这将为发展各种实际应用的新颖和创新策略开发途径。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识优点和广泛的criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia ressectuation the Andive the奖项。
