Quick facts about North American Arabidopsis Steering Committee

What is North American Arabidopsis Steering Committee?
North American Arabidopsis Steering Committee is a science & technology supporting organization (509(a)(3)) based in Fort Collins, United States. A primary function of the organization is to organize and secure funding for the annual International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR) when it is held in North America. The ICAR is currently on a 3 year rotation schedule so that it is held in North America once every 3 years. ICAR promotes rapid exchange of information among students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty & other professional scientists of the latest plant science information. The science conference also serves as an important forum for students & pre-professionals to highlight their research & education & take part in professional & educational development activities. The conference attendance ranges from approximately 500 to over 1,500 people, and is open to the international community of people (including the public) that may wish to attend and learn and share plant biology research and education advances/information. As part of the ICAR, the organization provides funding to a subset of invited speakers, particularly junior faculty that may lack significant travel funds. The organization also provides significant support to students & postdoctoral scholars, and groups that are under-represented in US science, as part of its mission to promote diversity and access within the scientific community. In 2023, ICAR was held in Japan and NAASC provided support for ICAR participation by 14 US early career trainees (students & postdocs). Another primary function of the organization is to support North American plant science activities involving research and education (often in cooperation and collaboration with international scientists). This support occurs in three major ways: (1) leading program and initiative development, including seeking governmental grants to fund projects; (2) participating in similar, related, and complementary activities to maintain and strengthen science ties; and (3) to provide advise or input when requested, from other groups and initiatives.
