The United States, for the first time in 20 years, will host microbiologists from around the world for the congresses of the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS), an organization that promotes microbiological research worldwide. The IUMS consists of three divisions that span three major disciplines in microbiology: bacteriology, mycology, and virology. The unifying theme of the congresses is "Microbes in a Changing World". The meetings will take place in San Francisco, California from July 23-28, 2005 http://www.iums2005.org. Topics include the molecular and cellular biology of microorganisms, microbial ecology and evolution, host-pathogen interactions, emerging diseases, biodefense and invasive species. This award will support 15 small grants to U.S. graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to attend and participate in the congresses. The National Academy of Sciences' U.S. National Committee for the IUMS will organize the evaluation and dissemeniaton of the travel grants. Special attention will be paid to the inclusion of grantees from traditionally underrepresented groups. It is vital to the interests of global security that the internationalization of science is encouraged, especially since science is a productive forum for peaceful interaction among peoples of various cultures and beliefs. The international congresses provide young investigators with a unique educational experience that has a lasting impact on their research careers, including possibilities for international collaboration. The meeting provides a forum for scientists to meet potential collaborators and foreign colleagues working in the same and related fields, leading to working relationships and lifelong scientific interactions. Young investigators gain the opportunity to listen to distinguished international scientists discuss the most current research across the breadth of microbiology and to interact with them in an informal setting. The international congresses also provide young scientists with different perspectives on research being done internationally, including in developing countries, and the impact of microbiological research worldwide. The resulting scientific interactions promote international cooperation and exchange, leading to scientific advances that would be difficult to achieve in isolation.

美国将在20年来首次接待来自世界各地的微生物学家参加国际微生物学会联合会（IUMS）的大会，IUMS是一个促进全球微生物研究的组织。IUMS由三个部门组成，涵盖微生物学的三个主要学科：细菌学，真菌学和病毒学。 大会的统一主题是“变化世界中的微生物”。 会议将于2005年7月23日至28日在加州的弗朗西斯科举行，主题包括微生物的分子和细胞生物学、微生物生态学和进化、宿主-病原体相互作用、新出现的疾病、生物防御和入侵物种。http://www.iums2005.org 该奖项将为美国研究生和博士后研究人员提供15笔小额赠款，以参加和参加大会。 国家科学院的美国国家委员会将组织评估和传播旅行赠款。将特别注意纳入传统上代表性不足的群体的受赠者。鼓励科学国际化对全球安全利益至关重要，特别是因为科学是不同文化和信仰的人民之间和平互动的富有成效的论坛。 国际会议为年轻的研究人员提供了独特的教育经验，对他们的研究生涯产生了持久的影响，包括国际合作的可能性。会议为科学家提供了一个论坛，以满足潜在的合作者和外国同事在相同和相关领域的工作，导致工作关系和终身科学互动。年轻的研究人员有机会聆听杰出的国际科学家讨论微生物学领域最新的研究，并在非正式的环境中与他们互动。国际大会还为青年科学家提供了关于国际上（包括发展中国家）正在进行的研究的不同观点，以及微生物学研究在全世界的影响。由此产生的科学互动促进了国际合作与交流，导致了孤立地难以实现的科学进步。
