Project Summary Collective behaviors are social and coordinated processes that arise spontaneously in all kingdoms of life. They can be observed in a variety of contexts: the blinking of fireflies, the marching of an army of locusts, the schooling of fish, the aggregation of social bacteria, and viral attacks. They are even observed in the movement of inanimate objects, such as robot swarms. Collective behaviors occur on all scales of living systems; synchronous behaviors extend from the organism to the tissue, to the cell, to the molecule. Ironically, research on collective behaviors is not coordinated. Disparate scientific groups work on these phenomena in many disciplines, including evolutionary biology, microbiology, mathematics, physics, and engineering. Although the problems being pursued have exciting overlaps, interaction between groups has been sparse. We propose three steps to create a unified and enduring research community committed to the study of collective behavior by providing trans-disciplinary bridges: (1) build a trans-disciplinary community of collective behavior researchers by holding a biannual Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Collective Behavior, (2) build an enduring inclusive trans-disciplinary community of collective behavior researchers based around this GRC by recruiting participants from under-represented groups; and 3) establish a permanent venue for the GRC on Collective Behavior. To begin this community building and to promote this new inter-disciplinary field, we will hold the first GRC on Collective Behavior August 13 - 18, 2023 at Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River, Newry, ME. The goal of this conference is to establish trans-disciplinary collaborations between scientists to share information, approaches, and technologies in a coordinated effort to transform investigations of collective behavior. Specifically, we expect the conference will promote the discovery of unifying principles across scales and organisms and uncover how the findings, both experimental and theoretical, can be used in future experimentation, computation, robotics, and medical applications. Moreover, the conference will help to further our understanding of how collective behaviors emerge from the behavior of single components, such as individuals, cells or molecules. Sixty-five percent of the invited speakers and discussion leaders (and most likely the attendees) focus their research on areas that are a high priority for NIBIB. This includes using synthetic and computational biology and mathematical modeling and simulations to analyze collective behaviors in both animate and inanimate systems. The researchers in this emerging field of study would be a rich source of new NIBIB investigators. Furthermore, NIBIB funding, which will supplement travel and registrations costs, is expected to increase the participation of women, URM postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, and early career investigators, who otherwise could not afford to attend this conference. We are especially interested in supporting this group of young and diverse researchers, as they will fuel the future of this new research area of collective behavior.

项目概要 集体行为是在所有生命王国中自发出现的社会和协调过程。 它们可以在各种环境中观察到：萤火虫的闪烁、蝗虫大军的行进、 鱼群聚集、社会细菌聚集和病毒攻击。他们甚至在运动中被观察到 无生命物体，例如机器人群。集体行为发生在生命系统的各个层面； 同步行为从有机体延伸到组织、细胞、分子。讽刺的是，研究 集体行为不协调。不同的科学团体在许多领域研究这些现象 学科，包括进化生物学、微生物学、数学、物理学和工程学。虽然 所追求的问题有令人兴奋的重叠，群体之间的互动却很少。我们提出三个 创建一个统一且持久的研究社区的步骤，致力于研究集体行为 提供跨学科桥梁：（1）建立集体行为研究人员的跨学科社区 通过举办一年两次的戈登集体行为研究会议 (GRC)，(2) 建立持久的集体行为 围绕该 GRC 招募集体行为研究人员的包容性跨学科社区 来自代表性不足群体的参与者； 3) 为 GRC on Collective 建立永久场地 行为。为了开始这个社区建设并促进这个新的跨学科领域，我们将举办第一届 关于集体行为的 GRC 将于 2023 年 8 月 13 日至 18 日在缅因州纽里周日河 Grand Summit 酒店举行。 本次会议的目标是建立科学家之间的跨学科合作，以分享 信息、方法和技术，协调一致地改变集体调查 行为。具体来说，我们预计会议将促进跨尺度统一原则的发现 和生物体，并揭示实验和理论的发现如何在未来使用 实验、计算、机器人和医疗应用。此外，本次会议将有助于进一步 我们对集体行为如何从单个组件的行为中产生的理解，例如 个体、细胞或分子。 百分之六十五的受邀演讲者和讨论领导者（很可能还有与会者）将重点放在他们的 NIBIB 高度重视的领域的研究。这包括使用合成和计算生物学以及 数学建模和模拟，用于分析有生命和无生命系统中的集体行为。 这一新兴研究领域的研究人员将成为新 NIBIB 研究人员的丰富来源。此外， NIBIB 资金将补充旅行和注册费用，预计将增加 女性、URM 博士后研究员和研究生以及早期职业研究人员，否则他们可以 没有钱参加这个会议。我们特别有兴趣支持这群年轻且多元化的人 研究人员，因为他们将为集体行为这一新研究领域的未来提供动力。
