DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The overall purpose of this application is to request conference support funds to award travel grants that will enhance the mission of the International Association of Environmental Mutagen Societies (IAEMS). Competitive awards will be given to highly select 10 graduate students, 10 junior scientists (Assistant Professors or Research Associates) and 2 invited speakers (Professors) to present their work in the 10th International Conference on Environmental Mutagens (ICEM), Florence, Italy, August 20-25, 2009. IAEMS is the leading international organization that is devoted to the promotion of three major activities: 1) scientific investigations and international collaborations on basic mechanisms of mutagenesis and their implications for human genetic disease, cancer, aging and chronic degenerative diseases; 2) application of the knowledge on disease mechanisms into risk assessment; and 3) application of knowledge into regulatory decisions. Therefore, IAEMS' memberships encompass academic research scientists and educators, corporate (e.g. drug and petrochemical industries) scientists and officers in regulatory agencies. Consequently, IAEMS plays a unique role in improving the quality of science and in harmonizing regulatory decisions globally. The scientific program of ICEM is made up of keynote presentations, symposia, short oral presentations, poster presentations, discussion sessions and technical demonstrations. Scientific topics include mechanisms of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis, use of "omics" technology, and risk assessment and regulation. The award recipients will be an integral component of more than 1000 participants in the conference. They will present their scientific work, participate in discussion sessions and interact with other scientists for the development of collaborations and career advancement activities.

描述(由申请人提供) 这项申请的总体目的是申请会议支助资金，以奖励旅行赠款，以加强国际环境诱变剂协会(IAEMS)的使命。竞争性奖项将颁发给精选的10名研究生、10名初级科学家(助理教授或研究助理)和2名特邀演讲者(教授)，以在2009年8月20-25日在意大利佛罗伦萨举行的第10届国际环境诱变剂会议(ICEM)上介绍他们的工作。IAEMS是领先的国际组织，致力于促进三项主要活动：1)关于突变的基本机制及其对人类遗传病、癌症、衰老和慢性退行性疾病的影响的科学调查和国际合作；2)将疾病机制的知识应用于风险评估；以及3)将知识应用于监管决策。因此，IAEMS的成员包括学术研究科学家和教育工作者、企业(例如药品和石化行业)科学家和监管机构的官员。因此，IAEMS在提高科学质量和协调全球监管决策方面发挥着独特的作用。ICEM的科学计划由主旨演讲、座谈会、简短的口头演讲、海报演讲、讨论会议和技术演示组成。科学主题包括突变和致癌的机制、“组学”技术的使用以及风险评估和调控。获奖者将是会议1000多名与会者中不可或缺的组成部分。他们将展示他们的科学工作，参加讨论，并与其他科学家互动，以发展合作和职业发展活动。
