International Trace Elements Conference

描述（由申请人提供）： 第 11 届人类和动物微量元素国际会议 (TEMA) 将于 2002 年 6 月 2 日至 6 日在加利福尼亚州伯克利举行。该小组每 3 年召开一次会议，已有约 35 年的历史。除了生物学家和营养学家外，该集团还包括植物和土壤科学家、动物科学家、化学家和毒理学家，他们都致力于减少全世界人类和动物微量元素失衡的发生率。 2002年会议的主题是“通过新的科学知识缓解微量元素失衡”。由珍妮特·金（Janet King）担任主席的当地组织委员会计划了这次会议。约 40 名科学家应邀就微量元素研究的各个方面进行演讲，从细胞代谢到植物科学，再到人类营养。由于微量元素缺乏症主要存在于发展中国家，因此将特别努力将应用、战略研究以及基础分子和代谢研究纳入其中。有关会议目标和计划的说明请参见我们的网站：tema.ucdavis.edu。我们鼓励与会者提交摘要以在会议上进行口头或海报展示。包括摘要在内的会议记录将作为《营养杂志》的增刊出版。还将举办四场关于研究微量元素的新兴技术的研讨会。当地组委会特别有兴趣支持年轻研究者的参与。正在寻求旅行补助金的支持，以支付这些人的费用。该提案的目的是为选定的演讲者的旅行、年轻研究者奖励和会议记录的出版寻求资金。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 11th international conference on Trace Elements in Man and Animals (TEMA) will be held in Berkeley, CA, June 2-6, 2002. The Group has been meeting every 3 years for about 35 years. In addition to biologists and nutritionists, the Group includes plant and soil scientists, animal scientists, chemists, and toxicologists who are all committed to reducing the incidence of trace element imbalances in humans and animals throughout the world. The theme for the meeting in 2002 is "alleviating trace element imbalances through new scientific knowledge." A local organizing committee, chaired by Janet King, has planned the meeting. About 40 scientists have been invited to give presentations on all aspects of trace element research going from cellular metabolism, to plant sciences, to human nutrition. Because trace element deficiencies exist primarily in the developing world, a special effort will be made to include applied, strategic research along with basic molecular and metabolic studies. A description of the meeting objectives and plans is on our website: tema.ucdavis.edu. Participants will be encouraged to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentations at the meeting. The proceedings of the meeting, including the abstracts, will be published as a supplement to the Journal of Nutrition. Four workshops on new, emerging techniques for studying trace elements will also be offered. The local organizing committee is especially interested in supporting the participation of young investigators. Support for travel grants is being sought to defray the expenses of these individuals. The purpose of this proposal is to seek funding for the travel of selected speakers, young investigator awards, and publication of the proceedings.
