DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This renewal application seeks continued support for an annual one-day meeting that highlights undergraduate research spanning the disciplines of Chemistry and Biology. The goals of this event are oriented toward nurturing Undergraduate interest, among a diverse population, in biomedical research and involve: (1) providing a high- energy affirmative event that places an individual's scientific endeavors in the larger context of the array of endeavors spanning biological and chemical research; (2) vigorously soliciting, and obtaining, the participation of substantial numbers of those underrepresented in the biomedical research enterprise; and (3) enhancing young scientist's awareness of the interface, and in many cases the intimate linkages, between chemical and biological research problems. We seek to sustain a regional Symposium that promotes top quality undergraduate science across and between the two major disciplines of chemistry and biology. In its present form, it is an energetic and dynamic forum; welcoming of and promoting the diversity of participants that is atypical of current cohort of research-active PhD scientists. With the past support we feel that we are accomplishing the above. Given our resources and the need to maintain an intimate and supportive conference structure, we seek support for a steady state attendance of about 200 presentations. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This application requests funds for an annual Undergraduate Research Symposium at which solely undergraduate students participate in a one-day event comprising two poster sessions. This conference at University of Maryland Baltimore County has completed its 11th year. This is a very positive experience involving a very diverse student group and it motivates students toward careers in scientific research. The conference sub-theme is research at the Chemistry-Biology interface and so many students are exposed and encouraged toward research disciplines that bear on the national need for a diverse workforce oriented to problems of biomedical relevance.

描述（由申请人提供）：此续签申请寻求对为期一天的年度会议的持续支持，该会议重点介绍化学和生物学学科的本科生研究。该活动的目标旨在培养不同人群中的本科生对生物医学研究的兴趣，包括：(1) 提供一次高能量的肯定活动，将个人的科学努力置于生物医学领域一系列努力的更大背景下。和化学研究； (2) 积极争取并获得大量代表性不足的人员参与生物医学研究企业； (3) 提高年轻科学家对化学和生物研究问题之间的界面以及在许多情况下的密切联系的认识。 我们寻求维持一个区域研讨会，以促进化学和生物学两个主要学科之间的高质量本科科学。就其目前的形式而言，它是一个充满活力和活力的论坛；欢迎并促进参与者的多样性，这对于当前活跃研究的博士科学家群体来说是非典型的。有了过去的支持，我们觉得我们正在完成上述目标。鉴于我们的资源以及维持亲密和支持性会议结构的需要，我们寻求支持以稳定地出席约 200 场演讲。 公共卫生相关性：本申请要求为一年一度的本科生研究研讨会提供资金，在该研讨会上，只有本科生参加为期一天的活动，包括两次海报会议。该会议在马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校举行，已举办第十一届。这是一次非常积极的经历，涉及非常多元化的学生群体，它激励学生从事科学研究事业。会议的子主题是化学-生物学界面的研究，许多学生接触并鼓励研究学科，这些学科与国家对面向生物医学相关问题的多元化劳动力的需求有关。
