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.

项目总结/摘要 环境诱变和基因组学协会（EMGS）成立于1969年， 为建立和支持环境领域的科学家提供论坛， 诱变本学会的使命是：（1）促进关于 DNA损伤和修复的原因和机制基础，诱变，遗传效应， 基因组功能的表观遗传改变及其与疾病的相关性，以及（2）促进 在遗传毒理学测试、风险评估 和监管政策制定，以保护人类健康和环境。 在过去的45年里，EMGS成员已经做出了许多最重要的发现 关于突变诱导的机制，DNA修复缺陷的作用， 导致毒理学和疾病易感性的突变，以及评估 环境暴露于诱变剂的风险。 认识到其多样化的专业人士交流思想和最新的重要性， 实验发现，EMGS于1970年3月22日至25日在华盛顿举行了第一次会议， 并继续这一传统，每年为这些专业人员提供一个聚会场所。 每年，EMGS年会项目委员会都努力代表全方位 社会的优势，包括目前研究的大部分领域，汇聚 关于环境暴露的问题以及细胞和生物体如何对这些问题作出反应， 挑战在本提案中，我们要求提供资金，以支付2014年的部分费用- 2018年EMGS年会。 2014年计划委员会安排了一个杰出的和广泛的科学 该计划包括一个研讨会，专题讨论会，平台和海报会议。会议 亮点将是45周年纪念会议，由资深发言人与早期 职业科学家提供的研究领域，是基础的观点， 社会除了科学计划外，年会还将召集 九个特殊利益集团（SIG），代表社会的多样性。
