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）是促进DNA修复、诱变和环境表观遗传学基本机制研究的主要科学协会，并将这些知识应用于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和获得性遗传改变的研究相结合，这些遗传改变使个体易患癌症、早衰和其他疾病。对细胞、组织、整个生物体和人类群体对遗传毒性剂的反应的机制和后果的基本理解对于环境健康危害方面的知情监管决策至关重要。多学科基础研究和应用研究的结合对这一进程至关重要。这种一体化仍然是环管系统的中心重点，年度会议是传播信息和促进必要互动的关键。此外，会议提供了一个重要的论坛，为学生和新的/早期阶段的研究人员介绍他们的研究，并与领先的科学家在其领域的设置，鼓励开放的思想交流的第44届年会将在蒙特雷举行，加州从2013年9月21日至25日。主题是“通过跨学科研究拥抱未来的科学”，涵盖了当前研究领域，这些领域集中在环境暴露问题以及细胞和生物体如何应对这些挑战。科学计划涵盖了社会内的科学利益的全方位，并由专题讨论会，研讨会，全体讲座和海报会议。EMS年会汇集了学术界，工业界和政府科学家对环境因素如何导致遗传毒性和表观遗传结果感兴趣。本次会议补助金申请的双重目标是为学生和新的和早期阶段的调查人员申请旅行奖，以参加年会，并为非会员主题演讲和研讨会发言人的差旅费提供部分支持。旅行奖励有助于抵消经济负担，否则可能会阻止学生和新的/早期阶段的研究人员参加。支持支付受邀非会员演讲者的差旅费，使学会能够以较低的成本为与会者提供最大的价值。包括非会员发言者提供了研究和思想的交叉施肥，这是一个世界级的会议所必需的。EMS成员发言人支付他们参加会议的费用，因此在此申请中不要求他们参加会议的费用。
