DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project seeks to expand the educational and capacity building opportunities for toxicologists from developing and least developed countries by providing travel support to attend a congress of toxicology, which is tailored to the needs of scientists from these underserved areas. To do this, support for travel awards for junior and senior toxicologists to attend the 8th Congress of Toxicology in Developing Countries (CTDC8) that will be held September 10 - 13, 2012 in Bangkok, Thailand is requested. Both regional developing countries and developing countries from around the world will be represented. Held every three years, Congresses on Toxicology in Developing Countries (CTDC) are sponsored by IUTOX. The meetings provide a forum for discussing toxicological problems facing developing countries and exchanging views on current issues with toxicologists from all over the world, especially from developing countries and regions. The Congress offers scientists, government regulators and members of industry the opportunity to learn about the latest developments in toxicological science and regulation through general scientific sessions and continuing education classes. Toxicologists from around the world will share their recent findings and attendees will learn about the latest advances in the science of toxicology, hear from eminent international speakers and leading researchers, and be able to discuss the complex issues that arise when drugs or chemicals adversely impact humans, animals and the environment. IUTOX is seeking support from NIEHS for two types of travel fellowships. Junior and Senior Toxicologist Travel Fellowships focus on helping scientists from developing or least developed countries attend the CTDC8 meeting to help these scientists return to their home countries in a better position to solve numerous urgent toxicology issues. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The mission of IUTOX is to improve human health through the science and practice of toxicology world-wide. IUTOX achieves its vision by fostering international scientific cooperation for the global acquisition and utilization of knowledge in toxicology for the improvement of human health. This occurs through sponsorship and planning of international congresses of developed and developing countries and through a variety of educational initiative including hosting continuing educational courses both associated and independent of the international congresses. Therefore, this proposal for travel support for the 8th Congress of Developing Countries (CTDC8) meeting in Bangkok, Thailand, achieves these aims.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目旨在通过提供旅行支持来扩大发展中国家和最不发达国家毒理学家的教育和能力建设机会，以参加毒理学大会，该大会是针对这些服务不足地区的科学家的需求量身定制的。为此，请求为初级和高级毒理学家提供差旅费，以参加将于2012年9月10日至13日在泰国曼谷举行的第八届发展中国家毒理学大会（CTDC 8）。区域发展中国家和世界各地的发展中国家都将派代表出席。发展中国家毒理学大会每三年举行一次，由国际毒理学联合会主办。这些会议提供了一个论坛，讨论发展中国家面临的毒理学问题，并与来自世界各地，特别是发展中国家和地区的毒理学家就当前问题交换意见。大会为科学家，政府监管机构和行业成员提供了通过一般科学会议和继续教育课程了解毒理学科学和监管最新发展的机会。来自世界各地的毒理学家将分享他们最近的研究结果，与会者将了解毒理学科学的最新进展，听取知名国际演讲者和领先研究人员的意见，并能够讨论药物或化学品对人类产生不利影响时出现的复杂问题，动物和环境。IUTOX正在寻求NIEHS对两种类型的旅行奖学金的支持。初级和高级毒理学家旅行奖学金的重点是帮助来自发展中国家或最不发达国家的科学家参加CTDC 8会议，以帮助这些科学家返回他们的祖国，更好地解决许多紧迫的毒理学问题。 公共卫生相关性：IUTOX的使命是通过全球毒理学的科学和实践来改善人类健康。国际毒理学联合会通过促进国际科学合作，在全球范围内获取和利用毒理学知识，以改善人类健康，实现其愿景。这是通过赞助和规划发达国家和发展中国家的国际大会以及通过各种教育举措，包括主办与国际大会有关和独立的继续教育课程来实现的。因此，为在泰国曼谷举行的第八届发展中国家大会提供差旅支助的建议实现了这些目标。
