DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Environmental Mutagen Society (EMS) is the primary scientific society fostering research on the basic mechanisms of DNA repair, mutagenesis, and environmental epigenetics and application of this knowledge to understanding human health effects from exposure to environmental toxins. Studies of DNA repair, mutagenesis, and epigenetics by EMS scientists are integrated with research on inherited and acquired genetic alterations that predispose individuals to cancer, premature aging, and other diseases. Fundamental understanding of the mechanisms and consequences of cellular, tissue, whole organism, and human population responses to genotoxic agents is crucial to informed regulatory decision-making with respect to environmental health hazards. The integration of multi-disciplinary basic and applied research is essential to this process. Such integration remains the central focus of the EMS, and the annual meetings are keys to the dissemination of information and fostering the necessary interactions. In addition, the meetings provide an important forum for students and new/early stage investigators to present their research and to interact with leading scientists in their field in a setting that encourages open exchange of ideas The 44th Annual Meeting will be held in Monterey, California from September 21-25, 2013. The theme is "Embracing the Science of the Future through Cross-Disciplinary Research", encompassing areas of current research that converge on the issues of environmental exposure and how cells and organisms respond to such challenges. The scientific program encompasses the full range of scientific interests within the Society and is comprised of symposia, workshops, plenary lectures, and poster sessions. EMS Annual Meetings bring together academic, industrial, and governmental scientists interested in how environmental factors lead to genotoxic and epigenetic outcomes. The dual objectives of this conference grant application are to request funds for Travel Awards for students and new and early stage investigators to attend the Annual Meeting and partial support for travel expenses of nonmember keynote and symposia speakers. Travel Awards assist in offsetting the financial burden that might otherwise prevent students and new/early stage investigators from attending. Support to defray travel costs for invited nonmember speakers enables the Society to provide the greatest value at lower costs to attendees. The inclusion of nonmember speakers provides the cross-fertilization of research and ideas which is necessary for a world-class meeting. EMS member speakers cover their expenses for participation in the conference, thus expenses for their participation are not requested in this application.

描述（由申请人提供）：环境诱变剂协会 (EMS) 是主要的科学协会，致力于促进 DNA 修复、诱变和环境表观遗传学基本机制的研究，并应用这些知识来了解暴露于环境毒素对人类健康的影响。 EMS 科学家对 DNA 修复、诱变和表观遗传学的研究与遗传性和后天性基因改变的研究相结合，这些改变使个体易患癌症、过早衰老和其他疾病。对细胞、组织、整个有机体和人类群体对基因毒性物质反应的机制和后果的基本了解对于在环境健康危害方面做出明智的监管决策至关重要。多学科基础研究和应用研究的整合对于这一过程至关重要。这种整合仍然是 EMS 的核心焦点，年度会议是传播信息和促进必要互动的关键。此外，会议为学生和新/早期研究人员提供了一个重要的论坛，以展示他们的研究成果，并在鼓励开放思想交流的环境中与各自领域的领先科学家进行互动。第 44 届年会将于 2013 年 9 月 21 日至 25 日在加利福尼亚州蒙特利举行。主题是“通过跨学科研究拥抱未来的科学”，涵盖当前研究领域，重点关注环境暴露问题以及细胞和生物体如何应对环境暴露问题。 挑战。科学计划涵盖了学会内的全方位科学兴趣，包括研讨会、讲习班、全体讲座和海报会议。 EMS 年会汇集了对环境因素如何导致遗传毒性和表观遗传结果感兴趣的学术界、工业界和政府科学家。本次会议拨款申请的双重目标是为学生和新的和早期研究人员参加年会申请旅行奖励资金，并为非会员主题演讲和研讨会发言人的旅行费用提供部分支持。旅行奖励有助于抵消经济负担，否则可能会阻止学生和新/早期研究人员参加。支持支付受邀非会员演讲者的差旅费，使协会能够以较低的成本为与会者提供最大的价值。非成员发言者的加入提供了研究和思想的交叉融合，这对于世界级会议来说是必要的。 EMS 成员发言人承担参加会议的费用，因此本申请中不要求他们参加会议的费用。
