描述（由申请人提供） 通过NIEHS管理的NIH支持会议和科学会议（R13 - Program Announcement PA- 13-347）将支持BioMetals 2014，这是一个致力于生物系统和环境中金属元素研究进展的国际会议。BioMetals 2014将于2014年7月13日至18日在杜克大学举行。 BioMetals 2014将建立在国际生物金属学会前八届两年一次的会议上，是所有对生物系统中各种金属相互作用感兴趣的科学家的跨学科会议。会议的一个主要焦点是探索金属、环境和疾病之间的关系。本次会议的独特优势在于，来自不同领域的科学家组成的多元化、跨学科和国际社会的参与，他们在各个领域的前沿研究各种不同的金属。大部分资金 本申请中所要求的资金将用于鼓励和帮助早期职业科学家参与这一深入学习，高影响力合作和历史上富有成效的网络的主要机会。还要求提供资金，用于出版《联合国出版物》的相关费用。 会议计划、必要设备的租赁以及会议所需的用品。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The NIH Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (R13 - Program Announcement PA- 13-347) administered through the NIEHS will support BioMetals 2014, an international conference devoted to advances in the study of the metallic elements in biological systems and the environment. BioMetals 2014 will be held July 13-18, 2014 at Duke University. BioMetals 2014 will build on the previous eight biennial meetings of the International BioMetals Society and is an interdisciplinary meeting for all scientists with an interest in metal interactions of al kinds in biological systems. A main focus of the conference is exploring the relationships between metals, the environment, and disease. The unique strength of this meeting is the participation of a diverse, interdisciplinary, and international community of scientists who work on a variety of different metals at the cutting-edge of their various fields. The majority of funds requested in this application will be used to encourage and aid the participation of early career scientists in this prime opportunity for in-depth learning, high-impact collaboration, and historically fruitful networking. Funds are also requested for costs associated with publication of the conference program, rental of necessary equipment, and supplies needed for the conduct of the conference.
