This conference grant supports the travel costs of the PI and eight African environmental physiologists speaking at a research seminar on "The Climatic Environment: Influence on Physiological Functions". This seminar will be held in Nairobi, Kenya, September 21-28, 1992, during the First International Congress of the African Association of Physiological Sciences, a new, continent-wide organization. The congress is sponsored by the International Union of Physiological Sciences. The seminar will address issues currently particularly relevant to African countries, many of which are experiencing unusual weather changes. Besides the scientists funded under this grant, an additional eight scientists from developed countries will participate. The main objectives of the overall congress are to stimulate scientific interchange and cooperative research among African physiologists, and to promote collaborative research between scientists based in developed countries with colleagues in Africa. The seminar promises to be mutually beneficial for U.S. and African scientists by providing a forum for exchange of data on thermal physiology in various species, and advancing understanding of physiological adaptation to drought. The establishment of active Africa- wide professional societies will promote research cooperation and networking throughout the region. This project is relevant to the objectives of the Science in Developing Countries (SDC) Program with regard to strengthening the scientific infrastructure in developing countries, and increasing the level of cooperation between U.S. scientists and their counterparts in developing countries.

这笔会议经费用于资助PI和8名非洲环境生理学家在“气候环境：对生理功能的影响”研究研讨会上发言的旅费。这次讨论会将于1992年9月21日至28日在肯尼亚内罗毕举行，当时非洲生理科学协会是一个新的全大陆组织。大会由国际生理科学联合会主办。研讨会将讨论目前与非洲国家特别相关的问题，其中许多国家正在经历不寻常的天气变化。除了获得这笔资助的科学家外，来自发达国家的另外8名科学家也将参加。整个大会的主要目标是促进非洲生理学家之间的科学交流和合作研究，并促进发达国家科学家与非洲同事之间的合作研究。这次研讨会将为美国和非洲科学家提供一个交流不同物种热生理数据的论坛，并促进对干旱生理适应的理解，从而使双方都受益。建立活跃的全非洲专业协会将促进整个区域的研究合作和联网。本项目与发展中国家科学（SDC）计划关于加强发展中国家科学基础设施的目标有关。以及提高美国科学家与发展中国家科学家之间的合作水平。
