The U.S. National Committee for the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) and the organizers of the 30th FEBS Congress and the 9th Conference of the IUBMB will cooperate to organize a travel grant program to assist the travel of top speakers to the congress from the United States and the travel of competitively selected U.S. students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as, postdoctoral fellows. The congress, which covers the broad theme of the" Protein World," will take place July 2-7, 2005 in Budapest, Hungary. This travel grant provides students and young scientists, most of whom do not have the institutional funding for such travel, an opportunity to present their research in an international forum. The travel grant program will also provide travel support for established scientists who have agreed to speak at the congress. It is estimated that the congress will attract over 3,000 students and scientists as there are approximately 4,300 pre-registrants and 2,600 final registrants.Awards of $1,200 will be offered to 20 U.S. undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdoctoral fellows. Awards of $800 will be provided for 30 established scientists who have already been selected as speakers for the congress. The students and young scientists will be competitively selected by members of the U.S. National Committee for the IUBMB. The national committee will evaluate and rank the applications based on scientific merit of the submitted abstract. Special attention will be paid to the inclusion of women and grantees from traditionally underrepresented groups. An announcement of the travel grant program will be placed in society newsletters and web pages in April 2005.Intellectual Merit: In additional to the plenary lectures and symposia, the congress organizers have put together an intensive public awareness program to help convey the main themes and congress lecturers to the public. They have also created a "Science is Fun" program to provide novel ways of presenting scientific information. International congresses provide investigators with a unique experience that can have a lasting impact on their research careers, including possibilities for international collaboration. The meeting provides a forum for scientists to meet foreign colleagues working in the same and related fields, leading to working relationships and lifelong scientific interactions. Speakers have the opportunity not only to present their research to a multinational audience, but also to expand their international networks. Through this travel grant program, young investigators will have the opportunity to listen to distinguished international scientists discuss the most current research in biochemistry and molecular biology, including proteomics, and to interact with them in an informal setting.Broader Impact: The IUBMB represents biochemists and molecular biologists in over 70 countries around the world that belong to the Union as Adhering Bodies or associated Adhering Bodies through biochemical societies, national research councils or academies of science. Four regional groupings of biochemical societies FASBMB (Africa), FAOBMB (Asia and Oceania), FEBS (Europe) and PABMB (the Americas) are also regional associated organizations of IUBMB. This joint congress of the IUBMB and FEBS will provide scientists with diverse perspectives on research being done internationally, including in developing countries, and the impact of research worldwide. The interactions that will result from this travel grant program will promote international cooperation and exchange of ideas, leading to scientific advances that would be difficult to achieve in isolation.

国际生物化学与分子生物学联合会（IUBMB）美国国家委员会和第30届FEBS大会以及IUBMB第9届会议的组织者将合作组织一项旅行资助计划，以帮助来自美国的顶级演讲者前往大会，以及经过竞争挑选的美国本科生和研究生学生的旅行，以及，博士后 大会将于2005年7月2日至7日在匈牙利的布达佩斯举行，主题是”蛋白质世界”。 这项旅费赠款为学生和青年科学家提供了一个在国际论坛上介绍其研究的机会，因为他们中的大多数人没有机构提供旅费。 旅行资助计划还将为同意在大会上发言的知名科学家提供旅行支持。 据估计，大会将吸引3,000多名学生和科学家，因为大约有4,300名预注册者和2,600名最终注册者。1,200美元的奖金将提供给20名美国本科生和研究生，以及博士后研究员。 800美元的奖金将提供给30名已被选为大会发言人的知名科学家。学生和年轻科学家将由美国IUBMB国家委员会成员竞争性地选择。国家委员会将根据提交摘要的科学价值对申请进行评估和排名。将特别注意纳入妇女和来自传统上代表性不足群体的受赠者。2005年4月，将在社会通讯和网页上公布旅费资助计划。知识价值：除了全会讲座和专题讨论会之外，大会组织者还制定了一个强化的公众意识计划，以帮助向公众传达大会的主题和演讲者。 他们还创建了一个“科学是有趣的”计划，以提供新颖的方式呈现科学信息。国际会议为研究人员提供了独特的经验，可以对他们的研究生涯产生持久的影响，包括国际合作的可能性。 该会议为科学家提供了一个论坛，以满足在相同和相关领域工作的外国同事，导致工作关系和终身科学互动。 演讲者不仅有机会向多国观众展示他们的研究，而且还可以扩大他们的国际网络。通过这项旅行资助计划，年轻的研究人员将有机会聆听杰出的国际科学家讨论生物化学和分子生物学（包括蛋白质组学）的最新研究，并在非正式的环境中与他们互动。IUBMB代表了世界上70多个国家的生物化学家和分子生物学家，这些国家属于该联盟的粘附机构或相关粘附机构通过生物化学学会、国家研究委员会或科学院。生物化学学会FASBMB（非洲）、FAOBMB（亚洲和大洋洲）、FEBS（欧洲）和PABMB（美洲）的四个区域集团也是IUBMB的区域联系组织。 IUBMB和FEBS的这次联合大会将为科学家提供关于国际研究的不同观点，包括在发展中国家，以及研究在全球的影响。 这一旅行资助计划将产生的互动将促进国际合作和思想交流，导致科学进步，这将是难以实现的孤立。
