 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Phytotechnologies Society (IPS) was founded in 2007 as a worldwide professional society for those engaged in phytotechnologies, the science, and application of the use of plants to remediate/manage contaminated soils and alleviate other environmental problems. The IPS offers through its annual meeting a program for graduate students and post- doctoral associates called the Phyto-Scholars program. The program is a cornerstone of IPS educational and professional development. The Phyto-Scholars program is well suited to the mission of NIEHS and the Superfund Research Program (SRP) in that this professional development opportunity helps train the next generation of U.S. scientists who will study the complex issues associated with hazardous chemicals in the environment, human and environmental risk assessment, contaminant detection, and contaminant remediation. The most unique aspect of that development is the emphasis on the incorporation of plants and plant-related technologies in this context. Specifically, the program has the following objectives: * To directly support student training and education in phytotechnologies as strategies for environmental remediation, management, and stewardship; * To increase student awareness of the broader roles of phytotechnologies in the protection of public health, risk assessment and the improvement of ecosystem function; * To provide students with professional development opportunities and the chance to network with international professionals working in the field of phytotechnologies. The Phyto-Scholars Program will run concurrently with the annual meeting in September 2015. The Phyto-Scholars will for the 2015 annual meeting of the International Phytotechnologies Society be involved in several professional development activities, including: 1) A luncheon with the conference organizing committee and invited speakers; 2) A networking mixer with phytotechnologies professionals and regulators; 3) Panel discussions on phytotechnology educational programs and career paths; 4) Panel discussion on multidisciplinary teams for phytotechnology projects; and 5) Risk, exposure, and risk reduction workshop with emphasis on brownfields and urban gardens. The Phyto-Scholars program within the IPS began in 2009 and has continued annually, supported by funds from the SRP. More than 100 students have been supported through the program to date. Funds from the NIEHS and the Superfund Research Program (SRP) have been utilized since 2009 to subsidize the travel of Phyto-Scholars to the annual meeting. The International Phytotechnologies Society requests funds to continue this program for the 2015 International Phytotechnologies Society annual meeting.

 描述(由申请人提供)：国际植物技术学会(IPS)成立于2007年，是一个世界性的专业协会，致力于利用植物修复/管理受污染的土壤和缓解其他环境问题的植物技术、科学和应用。IPS通过其年度会议为研究生和博士后助理提供了一个名为植物学者计划的计划。该项目是IPS教育和职业发展的基石。植物学者计划非常适合NIEHS和超级基金研究计划(SRP)的使命，因为这一专业发展机会有助于培养下一代美国科学家，他们将研究与环境中的危险化学品相关的复杂问题、人类和环境风险评估、污染物检测和污染物补救。这一发展最独特的方面是强调在这方面纳入植物和与植物有关的技术。具体地说，该计划有以下目标：*直接支持学生 作为环境补救、管理和监督战略的植物技术培训和教育；*提高学生对植物技术在保护公共健康、风险评估和改善生态系统功能方面的更广泛作用的认识；*为学生提供专业发展机会和与在植物技术领域工作的国际专业人员建立网络的机会。植物学者方案将与2015年9月的年度会议同时举行。参加国际植物技术学会2015年年会的植物学者将参与几项专业发展活动，包括：1)与会议组委会和特邀演讲者共进午餐；2)与植物技术专业人员和监管机构举行网络交流会；3)小组讨论植物技术教育计划和职业道路；4)小组讨论植物技术项目的多学科团队；以及5)风险、暴露和降低风险研讨会，重点放在棕地和城市花园。国际植物保护计划内的植物学者计划始于2009年，在SRP的资金支持下每年都在继续。到目前为止，已有100多名学生通过该计划获得了支持。自2009年以来，NIEHS和超级基金研究计划(SRP)的资金一直用于补贴植物学者参加年会的旅费。国际植物技术学会要求为2015年国际植物技术学会年会继续这一项目提供资金。
