MEETING: IUPS 2013 Travel Progam, Birmingham, UK, July 21-26, 2013

国际生理科学联合会(IUPS)将于2013年7月21-26日在英国伯明翰举行XXXVII国际生理科学大会。美国生理学会(APS)将管理一项旅行补助计划，向有兴趣参加IUPS大会的合格科学家提供有限数量的旅行奖励。自1959年在布宜诺斯艾利斯举行IuPS大会以来，APS实施了一项旅行赠款计划，并每四年帮助从事生理研究及其申请的美国科学家参加大会。最近，APS为2009年在日本京都举行的IuPS大会为美国生理学家举办了一个旅行奖励计划。将特别重视在获得博士学位后15年内的研究人员以及妇女和代表性不足的少数族裔科学家。这项提议产生的旅行奖励将发放给在综合组织系统司支持的研究领域工作的个人。旅行奖项将1)促进青年科学家的广泛参与，重点是女性和未被充分代表的少数群体；2)使新的研究人员和学生有兴趣从事旨在了解生理过程和特征的研究；3)为发展与美国科学家和在其他国家工作的科学家的合作互动提供机会。XXXVII大会的科学计划是由一个国际计划委员会制定的，该委员会的代表来自东道主学会、生理学会和IUPS。该计划是围绕一些国际联合包裹服务委员会组织的。传统上，与NSF最相关的是比较生理学委员会：进化、适应与环境。虽然与该委员会有关的会议最相关，但有许多其他会议应该会引起比较生理学家的兴趣，提供与他们的比较研究有关的生理学见解。

The International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS) will hold the XXXVII International Congress of Physiological Sciences in Birmingham, UK, July 21-26, 2013. The American Physiological Society (APS) will administer a travel grant program offering a limited number of travel awards to qualified scientists interested in attending the IUPS Congress. The APS has conducted a travel grant program and assisted U.S. scientists engaged in physiological research and its applications to attend Congresses every four years since the IUPS Congress was held in Buenos Aires in 1959. Most recently, the APS managed a travel award program for US physiologists for the IUPS Congress in 2009 in Kyoto, Japan. Special emphasis will be given to investigators within 15 years of receiving their doctoral degree and to women and under-represented minority scientists. Travel awards resulting from this proposal will be directed to individuals working in the research areas supported by the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. Travel awards will 1) promote widespread participation of young scientists with an emphasis on women and under-represented minorities; 2) interest new investigators and students in pursuing research designed to understand physiological processes and traits; and 3) provide opportunities for the development of collaborative interactions with scientists from the United States and those working in other countries. The scientific program for the XXXVII Congress was developed by an international program committee with representatives both from the host society, The Physiological Society, and the IUPS. The program is organized around a number of IUPS Commissions. Traditionally, the one most relevant to NSF is associated with the Commission for Comparative Physiology: Evolution, Adaptation & Environment. While the sessions associated with this Commission are most relevant, there are many others that should be of interest to comparative physiologists, providing physiological insights related to their comparative studies.
