The discovery of X-rays by Rontgen in 1895 and of radioactivity by Becqueral in 1896 were followed by an early appreciation of both the damaging and therapeutic effect of ionizing radiation (including genetic effects, for which Muller later received the Nobel Prize). From this emerged radiation research, a multi disciplinary field embracing physics, chemistry, biology and medicine, all of which are used to the benefit of man. The Radiation Research Society was formed in the USA in 1952, and was followed soon after by the formation of societies in Great Britain, several countries in Europe (the Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Italy and France), Japan, and Israel. The societies now form the International Association for Radiation Research (IARR), a component of the International Union of the Biological Sciences. The first International congress of Radiation Research was held in Burlington, Vermont, in 1958, and since them, at four-year intervals, International Congresses sponsored by the IARR have been held in England, Italy, France, Japan, the Netherlands, the United States, Scotland and Germany. The 11th congress will be held in Dublin Ireland in 1999. The multi disciplinary nature of the subject area renders these international meeting especially valuable. Physicists, chemists, biologists, and physicians interested in environmental hazards in general, cancer research, and cancer therapy in general, will meet to discuss their progress. It is appropriate that a substantial contingent of attendees be from North America, in view of the leading role of American and Canadian scientists in this field. Travel awardees for the 11th Congress will be selected by a committee of members of the Radiation Research Society representing the disciplines of Biology, Chemistry, Medicine, and Physics. Selection criteria are: Congress participation, publications in radiation research, age, professional standing, and attendance at previous Congresses (sample evaluation form included in Appendix).

伦琴在1895年发现了X射线，贝克拉尔在1896年发现了放射性，随后人们对电离辐射的破坏和治疗作用（包括遗传效应，穆勒后来因此获得诺贝尔奖）都有了早期的认识。 1952年，美国成立了辐射研究学会，随后英国、欧洲几个国家（荷兰、瑞典、波兰、德国、意大利和法国）、日本和以色列也相继成立了辐射研究学会。 这些学会现在组成了国际辐射研究协会，是国际生物科学联合会的一个组成部分。 第一届国际辐射研究大会于1958年在佛蒙特州伯灵顿举行，此后，每隔四年，由IARR赞助的国际大会在英格兰、意大利、法国、日本、荷兰、美国、苏格兰和德国举行。 第十一届大会将于1999年在都柏林爱尔兰举行。 主题领域的多学科性质使这些国际会议特别有价值。 物理学家，化学家，生物学家和对一般环境危害，癌症研究和癌症治疗感兴趣的医生将会面讨论他们的进展。 鉴于美国和加拿大科学家在这一领域的主导作用，来自北美的大量与会者是适当的。 第11届大会的旅行获奖者将由代表生物学，化学，医学和物理学学科的辐射研究学会成员组成的委员会选出。 选择标准是：大会参与情况、辐射研究的出版物、年龄、专业地位和出席往届大会的情况（评估表样本见附录）。
