IUPS 2017 Travel Award Program (International Union of Physiological Sciences) Rio de Janiero, Brazil, August 2017

该项目为美国科学家参加2017年8月1日至5日在巴西里约热内卢举行的第38届国际生理科学大会提供差旅支持。这次会议由国际生理科学联合会(IUPS)组织，旅行奖项将由美国生理学会(APS)管理。这次会议汇集了世界上大约3000名顶尖的比较动物生理学家，其中包括许多来自美国的知名科学家。旅行奖将颁发给对比较生物生理学感兴趣的合格科学家，并将特别强调早期职业研究人员(在获得博士学位后15年内)以及女性和代表性不足的少数族裔科学家。因此，该项目扩大了青年科学家的参与，重点是妇女和代表性不足的少数群体；使新的调查人员和学生接触到旨在了解生理过程和特征的尖端研究；并为发展国际合作提供了独特的机会。国际生理科学联合会(IUPS)将于2017年8月1日至5日在巴西里约热内卢举行第38届国际生理科学大会。自1959年IuPS大会在布宜诺斯艾利斯举行以来，美国生理学会(APS)每四年实施一次旅行补助计划，帮助从事生理研究及其申请参加大会的美国科学家。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颁发给在国家科学基金会综合组织系统部门支持的研究领域工作的个人。一个内部项目委员会与东道主协会、巴西生理学学会和IUPS的代表一起为第38届大会制定了科学计划。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最相关的是与委员会有关的比较生理学：进化、适应和环境。这项提议的具体目标包括：1)通过旅行奖励计划，促进年轻科学家的广泛参与，重点是女性和代表性不足的少数族裔；2)吸引新的研究人员和学生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美国以外工作的科学家的合作互动提供机会。

This project provides travel support for US scientists to participate in the 38th International Congress of Physiological Sciences in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, August 1-5, 2017. The meeting is organized by the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS) and the travel awards will be administered by the American Physiological Society (APS). The meeting assembles approximately 3,000 of the top comparative animal physiologists in the world, including many established scientists from the United States. The travel awards will be given to qualified scientists interested in comparative organismal physiology, and special emphasis will be given to early career investigators (within 15 years of receiving their doctoral degree) and to women and under-represented minority scientists. The project therefore broadens the participation of young scientists with an emphasis on women and under-represented minorities; exposes new investigators and students to cutting edge research designed to understand physiological processes and traits; and provides unique opportunities for the development of international collaborations. The International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS) will hold the 38th International Congress of Physiological Sciences in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, August 1-5, 2017. The American Physiological Society (APS) has administered a travel grant program to assist 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. 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 NSF Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. An internal program committee developed the scientific program for the 38th Congress with representatives from the host society, Brazilian Society of Physiology, 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 Comparative Physiology: Evolution, Adaptation & Environment. The specific aims of this proposal include: 1) to promote widespread participation of young scientists with an emphasis on women and under-represented minorities, through a travel award program; 2) to engage new investigators and students in pursuing research designed to understand physiological processes and traits; and, 3) to provide opportunities for the development of collaborative interactions with scientists from the United States and those working outside of the United States.
