DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant proposal is to partially fund conference fees and/or travel expenses for 22 speakers and 24 graduate students to attend the 2008 Annual Meeting of the Bioelectromagnetics Society (BEMS). The multidisciplinary membership of BEMS includes physicists, electrical engineers, cell biologists, animal physiologists, physicians, epidemiologists and other public health practitioners interested in the interaction between electrical and magnetic fields of all frequencies and biological systems. BEMS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Frederick, Maryland. BEMS publishes a refereed archival journal, Bioelectromagnetics, and a periodic newsletter and organizes an annual meeting. The goal of the annual meeting is to advance the field by stimulating discussions and interactions among participants representing all these disciplines in an open forum. Major interests of the Society include clinical applications of electric and magnetic fields for the diagnosis and treatment of human disease and health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields. Review of the needs assessment after the 2007 Annual Meeting led to the development of a technical program for 2008 that will cover a variety of topics in plenary sessions with an emphasis on interactive format: a) two Bench-to-Bedside sessions focused on multidisciplinary approaches to selected clinical problems (antibiotic-resistant biofilms; neuroprotective effects of surfactants; fibromyalgia; bone healing) and showcasing translational research of BEMS members; b) a session on Radio Frequency and Extremely Low Frequency Exposure Standards; c) a plenary session on Mechanisms for Biological Effects of EMF; and, d) a roundtable discussion about the controversial issue of Mobile Phone Use and Brain Tumors. Of twenty-one confirmed plenary speakers, seven are from outside the US and three are women. The scientific program provides also for 88 platform presentations in 14 sessions and two poster sessions (200 projected). In 2008, the meeting will be held in the United States based on a scheduled rotation. San Diego was selected as the site by the Board of Directors. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The relevance of this annual conference of the Bioelectromagnetic Society (BEMS) to public health is that it will foster basic science research and an exchange of information between scientists studying electromagnetic field interactions with living systems at the molecular, cellular, clinical and population (epidemiological) level. Interactive sessions showcasing potential new electromagnetic treatment modalities will highlight contributions of BEMS members to translational research in selected medical areas. Other sessions will review potential health risks of environmental electromagnetic fields with implications for manufacturers of electronic devices, for the evolution of exposure standards at home and at work and for regulatory agencies such as the FDA and FCC.

说明（由申请人提供）：该拨款提案旨在为 22 名演讲者和 24 名研究生参加生物电磁学会 (BEMS) 2008 年年会提供部分会议费和/或差旅费。 BEMS 的多学科成员包括物理学家、电气工程师、细胞生物学家、动物生理学家、医生、流行病学家和其他对所有频率和生物系统的电场和磁场之间的相互作用感兴趣的公共卫生从业者。 BEMS 是一家 501(c)(3) 非营利组织，总部位于马里兰州弗雷德里克。 BEMS 出版一份参考档案期刊《生物电磁学》和一份定期通讯，并组织年会。年会的目标是通过激发代表所有这些学科的参与者在开放论坛中的讨论和互动来推动该领域的发展。该协会的主要兴趣包括电场和磁场在人类疾病诊断和治疗中的临床应用以及电磁场暴露对健康的影响。 2007 年年会后对需求评估的审查导致制定了 2008 年的技术计划，该计划将涵盖全体会议的各种主题，重点是互动形式：a) 两次从实验室到临床的会议，重点讨论针对选定临床问题（抗生素耐药生物膜、表面活性剂的神经保护作用、纤维肌痛、骨愈合）的多学科方法，并展示 BEMS成员的转化研究； b) 关于射频和极低频暴露标准的会议； c) 关于电磁场生物效应机制的全体会议； d) 关于手机使用和脑肿瘤这一有争议问题的圆桌讨论。在已确认的 21 名全体会议发言者中，七名来自美国以外的国家，三名是女性。该科学计划还提供 14 个会议的 88 个平台演示和两个海报会议（预计 200 个）。 2008年，会议将按计划轮流在美国举行。董事会选择圣地亚哥作为厂址。 公共卫生相关性：生物电磁学会 (BEMS) 的本次年会与公共卫生的相关性在于，它将促进基础科学研究以及在分子、细胞、临床和人口（流行病学）层面研究电磁场与生命系统相互作用的科学家之间的信息交流。展示潜在的新电磁治疗方式的互动会议将突出 BEMS 成员对选定医学领域转化研究的贡献。其他会议将审查环境电磁场的潜在健康风险，这些风险对电子设备制造商、家庭和工作中暴露标准的演变以及 FDA 和 FCC 等监管机构的影响。
