DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: The 2006 International Symposium on the Comparative Biology of the Alpha-Proteobacteria (NIH). Summary of Objectives: The goal of the First International Symposium on the Comparative Biology of the Alpha-Proteobacteria is to bring together leading scientists from around the world to discuss the specifics of their own systems and to seek opportunities to leverage knowledge across systems. The symposium will provide a forum for invited speakers to discuss their current work and exchange ideas. The topics include (a) Evolution of Alpha-Proteobacteria Genomes, (b) Intracellular Lifestyle, (c) The Genomics of Development in the Alpha-Proteobacteria, (d) The Genomics of Metabolism, and (e) Functional Genomics. The objective of this proposal is to acquire new funding for student registrations; student travel and lodging; and Session Chair registrations, travel, and lodging. Increased attendance by students (both graduate students and post docs) is valuable for the development of younger scientists and for the future of the field of interdisciplinary science. Every effort will be made to recruit minority students from organizations such as The Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native American in Science (SACNAS). The Virginia Bioinformatics Institute has a good track record in working with this organization and currently oversees 2 2006 SACNAS Summer Fellowships funded through Virginia Tech. Many of VBI's students make presentations at the SACNAS Annual Conference. Additionally, invited speakers and program committee members will be asked to recruit underrepresented and female students to participate in the symposium.

描述（由申请人提供）： 项目摘要：2006 年阿尔法变形菌比较生物学国际研讨会 (NIH)。目标摘要：第一届阿尔法变形菌比较生物学国际研讨会的目标是汇集世界各地的领先科学家，讨论他们自己系统的具体情况，并寻求利用跨系统知识的机会。研讨会将为受邀演讲者提供一个讨论他们当前工作和交流想法的论坛。主题包括 (a) 阿尔法变形菌基因组的进化、(b) 细胞内生活方式、(c) 阿尔法变形菌发育基因组学、(d) 代谢基因组学和 (e) 功能基因组学。本提案的目的 为学生注册获得新的资金；学生交通和住宿；会议主席注册、差旅和住宿。学生（研究生和博士后）出勤率的增加对于年轻科学家的发展和跨学科科学领域的未来很有价值。我们将尽一切努力从奇卡诺人和美国原住民科学促进会 (SACNAS) 等组织招募少数族裔学生。弗吉尼亚生物信息学研究所在与该组织合作方面有着良好的记录，目前负责监督由弗吉尼亚理工大学资助的 2 个 2006 SACNAS 夏季奖学金。许多 VBI 的学生在 SACNAS 年会上发表演讲。此外，受邀演讲者和项目委员会成员将被要求招募代表性不足的学生和女学生参加研讨会。
