PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS) was founded in 1969 to provide a forum for the establishment and support of scientists in the field of environmental mutagenesis. The mission of the Society is (1) to foster scientific research and education on the causes and mechanistic bases of DNA damage and repair, mutagenesis, heritable effects, epigenetic alterations in genome function, and their relevance to disease, and (2) to promote the application and communication of this knowledge to genetic toxicology testing, risk assessment, and regulatory policy-making to protect human health and the environment. For the past 45 years, EMGS members have made many of the most important discoveries pertaining to the mechanisms of the induction of mutations, the roles of DNA repair defects and resulting mutations in toxicology and disease susceptibility, and the challenges of assessing risks from environmental exposures to mutagens. Recognizing the importance of its diverse mix of professionals to exchange ideas and the latest experimental findings, the EMGS held its first meeting in Washington, DC on March 22-25, 1970, and has continued this tradition by providing a venue for these professionals to meet annually. Each year, the EMGS Annual Meeting Program Committee strives to represent the full spectrum of strengths of the Society, encompassing most of the areas of current research that converge on the issues of environmental exposure and how cells and organisms respond to such challenges. In this proposal, we are requesting funds to defray part of the expenses for 2014- 2018 EMGS Annual Meetings. The 2014 Program Committee has arranged for an outstanding and expansive scientific program that consists of a workshop, symposia, and platform and poster sessions. A meeting highlight will be the 45th Anniversary Session featuring senior speakers partnered with early career scientists to provide a perspective on the research areas that are the foundation of the Society. In addition to the scientific program, the Annual Meeting will convene meetings of the nine Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that represent the diversity of the Society.

项目摘要/摘要 环境诱变和基因组学学会（EMGS）成立于1969年 为环境领域的科学家建立和支持提供论坛 诱变。社会的使命是（1）培养有关科学研究和教育 DNA损伤和修复，诱变，可遗传效果的原因和机械基础 基因组功能的表观遗传学改变及其与疾病的相关性，以及（2）促进 将此知识应用于遗传毒理学测试，风险评估， 以及保护人类健康和环境的监管决策。 在过去的45年中，EMGS成员已经做出了许多最重要的发现 与诱导突变的机制有关，DNA修复缺陷的作用和 毒理学和疾病敏感性的突变以及评估的挑战 环境暴露向诱变剂的风险。 认识到其各种专业人士在交换思想和最新想法的重要性 实验发现，EMGS于1970年3月22日至25日在华盛顿特区举行了首次会议， 并通过为这些专业人员提供每年见面的场地来延续这一传统。 每年，EMGS年度会议计划委员会都致力于代表完整的范围 社会的优势，包括当前研究的大多数领域 关于环境暴露以及细胞和生物如何应对这种问题 挑战。在此提案中，我们要求资金支付2014年费用的一部分 2018 EMGS年度会议。 2014年计划委员会已安排了一个杰出而广泛的科学 由研讨会，研讨会以及平台和海报会议组成的程序。会议 亮点将是45周年纪念日，由高级演讲者与早期合作 职业科学家提供有关研究领域的观点 社会。除了科学计划外，年度会议还将召集 代表社会多样性的九个特殊利益集团（SIG）。
