This award is for support of the FASEB Yeast Chromosome and Cell Cycle Conference, to be held June 23-27 2024 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This is a well-established conference that has occurred biennially for the past 30 years and, while it focuses on one of the most well-understood model systems, budding and fission yeasts, it is notable for continuing to push the conceptual and technological boundaries in this field, even as study in other systems advance. The meeting will include 8 plenary sessions, each of which will have 5-8 20 minute presentations. Approximately two-thirds of the speakers are by invitation, and the remainder will be selected from contributed abstracts, with an emphasis on early career scientists. In addition, nearly all attendees giving posters will also present short Poster Primer talks, introducing their poster topics, and themselves, to the other participants. This meeting will have attendees representing all career stages, from students to established investigators, with numerous activities to facilitate networking. The organizing committee will make a special effort to provide plenary speaking opportunities to diverse junior scientists as well. Notably, all NSF funds will be used to support participation by trainees and young investigators, with an emphasis on those from historically underrepresented groups as well as those with financial need.The conference program features 85% of speakers that have not presented in the past 5 years (though many high-profile, senior researchers in the field will chair sessions and stimulate discussion. Over half the speakers will be female, and ~20% of speakers will be from groups historically underrepresented in STEM. The conference focuses on topics of broad interest in biological sciences, notably "Chromatin and Nuclear Organization", "Cell Cycle Regulation", "Chromosome Duplication", "Telomeres and Double-strand Break Repair", "Recombination and Genome Stability", "Genome Evolution", "Dynamics of Chromosome Structure", and "Chromosome Segregation Mechanisms". Sessions will also include paired mentor/mentee talks at the beginning of the session. In addition, a "Meet the Expert" and a Career Development session will be held early in the conference in which senior speakers are assigned to tables where more junior participants join them for informal discussions to encourage and help early-career scientists progress in this field.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.

该奖项是为了支持 FASEB 酵母染色体和细胞周期会议，该会议将于 2024 年 6 月 23 日至 27 日在马尼托巴省温尼伯举行。这是一个历史悠久的会议，在过去 30 年里每两年举行一次，虽然它的重点是最容易理解的模型系统之一——芽殖酵母和裂殖酵母，但值得注意的是它继续推动概念和技术界限这个领域，即使其他系统的研究也在不断进步。 会议将包括8个全体会议，每个会议有5-8个20分钟的报告。大约三分之二的演讲者是受邀请的，其余的将从贡献的摘要中选出，重点是早期职业科学家。此外，几乎所有提供海报的与会者还将进行简短的海报入门演讲，向其他与会者介绍他们的海报主题和他们自己。这次会议将有代表各个职业阶段的与会者，从学生到成熟的研究人员，并举办许多活动来促进交流。组委会还将特别努力为不同的青年科学家提供全体演讲的机会。值得注意的是，所有 NSF 资金都将用于支持受训人员和年轻研究人员的参与，重点是那些来自历史上代表性不足的群体以及有经济需要的群体。会议计划中 85% 的演讲者在过去 5 年中没有出席过会议年（尽管该领域的许多知名高级研究人员将主持会议并激发讨论。超过一半的演讲者将是女性，约 20% 的演讲者将来自历史上在 STEM 领域代表性不足的群体。会议重点关注广泛的主题对生物科学感兴趣，特别是“染色质和核组织”、“细胞周期调控”、“染色体复制”、“端粒和双链断裂修复”、“重组和基因组稳定性”、“基因组进化”、“染色体动力学”结构”和“染色体分离机制”。会议还将包括在会议开始时配对导师/受训者的演讲。此外，会议初期将举行“会见专家”和职业发展会议，高级演讲者被分配到桌子上，更多初级参与者加入他们进行非正式讨论，以鼓励和帮助早期职业科学家在该领域取得进步。该奖项反映了通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
