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日至26日在英国伯明翰举行第三十七届国际生理科学大会。美国生理学会（APS）将管理一个旅行补助计划，为有兴趣参加IUPS大会的合格科学家提供数量有限的旅行奖励。自1959年在布宜诺斯艾利斯举行IUPS大会以来，美国物理学会每四年举办一次旅行资助计划，并协助从事生理学研究及其应用的美国科学家参加大会。最近，美国物理学会为2009年在日本京都举行的IUPS大会为美国生理学家管理了一个旅行奖励计划。将特别重视获得博士学位后15年内的研究人员以及妇女和代表性不足的少数民族科学家。由本提案产生的旅行奖励将针对在综合有机系统司支持的研究领域工作的个人。旅行奖将：1）促进青年科学家的广泛参与，重点是妇女和代表性不足的少数民族; 2）对新的研究人员和学生进行旨在了解生理过程和特征的研究感兴趣; 3）为来自美国和其他国家的科学家提供发展合作互动的机会。第37届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国社会，生理学会和IUPS。该计划是围绕一些IUPS委员会组织的。传统上，与NSF最相关的是与比较生理学委员会：进化，适应环境。虽然与本委员会相关的会议是最相关的，但还有许多其他会议应该引起比较生理学家的兴趣，为他们的比较研究提供生理学见解。

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.
