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.

该奖项是为了支持将于6月23日至27日在曼尼托巴省温尼伯举行的Faseb酵母染色体和细胞周期会议。这是一个公认的会议，在过去的30年中已经进行了两年一度的会议，虽然它专注于最受理解的模型系统之一，崭露头角和裂变酵母，但即使在其他系统中的研究中，也继续推动该领域的概念和技术界限，这是值得注意的。 会议将包括8个全体会议，每次会议将进行5-8个20分钟的演讲。大约三分之二的演讲者是通过邀请来的，其余的将从撰稿摘要中选出，重点是早期职业科学家。此外，几乎所有赠送海报的与会者还将介绍近海报底漆谈判，将其海报主题以及他们自己介绍给其他参与者。这次会议将有代表所有职业阶段的与会者，从学生到成熟的调查员，并进行许多活动以促进网络。组织委员会将做出特别的努力，为各种初级科学家提供全体会议的机会。值得注意的是，所有NSF资金都将用于支持受训者和年轻调查员的参与，并着重于历史上代表性不足的团体以及经济需求的团体的参与。会议计划的特征是85％的演讲者在过去的5年中没有介绍的演讲者（尽管许多高专业的研究人员都会在野外进行高级研究员，而在野外的高级研究人员将成为一半的演讲和培训。 STEM的代表性不足。在会议开始时，配对的导师/导师会谈。 标准。
