Practically all species will be impacted by climate change. Some will be affected a lot and some a little, but there is much debate about which will be which because predicting responses to changing climate is enormously complicated. It will require the combined efforts of scientists from many disciplines, working together to develop new models and other cutting-edge tools. This award will fund a conference in Florida to foster international collaboration on ways in which ecological and evolutionary impacts of climate change can be predicted and perhaps mitigated.The conference will bring together scientists with expertise in molecular biology,genetics, physiology, microbiology, and the -omics fields, as well as evolution, ecology, andecosystems biology to address pressing gaps in knowledge related to the evolution of traits,species, and communities in the context of climate change. Attendees will address cornerstone and emerging issues pertaining to who is moving due to climate change, where they are moving to and from, and why they are moving. The conference is organized with plenary talks each morning featuring cutting edge research across each of 12 core themes. Panel discussions during the morning plenary sessions will be designed and structured to maximize exchange between academics, managers and professionals by engaging on a shared topic of interest. Each afternoon will consist of 3-4 concurrent sessions, across the 12 themes. There will be mentoring events and a pre-conference workshop to attract, train and support early-career scientists.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.

几乎所有物种都会受到气候变化的影响。有些会受到很大的影响，有些会受到轻微的影响，但对于哪个会受到很大的影响，存在很多争论，因为预测对气候变化的反应是非常复杂的。这需要多学科科学家的共同努力，共同开发新模型和其他尖端工具。 该奖项将资助在佛罗里达州举行的一次会议，以促进国际合作，探讨如何预测甚至减轻气候变化对生态和进化的影响。该会议将汇集具有分子生物学、遗传学、生理学、微生物学和微生物学专业知识的科学家。 -组学领域以及进化论、生态学和生态系统生物学，以解决与气候变化背景下性状、物种和群落进化相关的知识方面的紧迫差距。与会者将讨论与谁因气候变化而搬家、他们搬到哪里、从哪里搬家以及搬家原因有关的基本问题和新出现的问题。该会议每天早上都会举行全体会议，重点讨论 12 个核心主题的前沿研究。上午全体会议期间的小组讨论将旨在通过讨论共同感兴趣的话题，最大限度地促进学者、管理人员和专业人士之间的交流。每天下午将包括 3-4 个并发会议，涵盖 12 个主题。将举办指导活动和会前研讨会，以吸引、培训和支持早期职业科学家。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
