DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary/Abstract. The Environmental Mutagen Society (EMS) is the primary scientific society fostering research on the basic mechanisms of DNA repair and mutagenesis and application of this knowledge to understanding human health effects from exposure to environmental genotoxins. Studies of DNA repair and mutagenesis by EMS scientists are integrated with research on inherited and acquired genetic alterations that predispose individuals to cancer, premature aging, and other diseases. Fundamental understanding of the mechanisms and consequences of cellular, tissue, and whole organism responses to genotoxic agents is crucial to informed regulatory decision-making with respect to environmental health hazards. The integration of multi-disciplinary basic and applied research is essential to this process. Such integration remains the central focus of the EMS, and the Annual Meetings are key to the dissemination of information and fostering of interactions. In addition, the meetings provide an important forum for students and new investigators to present their research and to interact with leading scientists in their field in a setting that encourages open exchange of ideas. The 41st Annual Meeting of the EMS will be held in Fort Worth, Texas from October 23-27, 2010. The theme is "Complex Systems in Biology and Risk Assessment". The scientific program encompasses the full range of scientific interests within EMS and is comprised of symposia, workshops, plenary lectures, and poster and platform sessions. EMS Annual Meetings bring together academic, industrial and governmental scientists interested in how environmental factors lead to genotoxicity. The dual objectives of this conference grant application are to request funds for Travel Awards for trainees new to attend the Annual Meeting, and partial support for travel expenses of key non-member speakers. EMS believes that its students and new investigators are the future of both the Society and the scientific endeavors fostered by its community of scientists. Travel Awards assist in offsetting the financial burden that might otherwise prevent trainees from attending. Support to defray travel costs for invited non-member speakers enables EMS to provide the greatest value at lower costs to attendees. The inclusion of non-member speakers provides the cross fertilization of research and ideas which is necessary for a world-class meeting. EMS member speakers cover their expenses for participation in the conference. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Project Narrative EMS integrates from multiple disciplines within the Society basic and applied research on mechanisms and consequences of responses to genotoxic agents. Such integration remains the central focus of the EMS, and the Annual Meetings are key to the dissemination of information and to foster interactions between researchers and individuals who must make informed regulatory decision with respect to environmental health hazards. The meetings also provide a forum in which students, postdoctoral fellows, and beginning investigators can share information with established scientists through formal scientific sessions and informal interactions. External support for invited speaker travel and trainee travel awards is required to achieve the scientific objectives, training and outreach goals of EMS.

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要/摘要。环境诱变剂协会（EMS）是促进DNA修复和诱变的基本机制研究的主要科学协会，并将这些知识应用于了解暴露于环境遗传毒素对人类健康的影响。EMS科学家对DNA修复和诱变的研究与遗传和获得性遗传改变的研究相结合，这些遗传改变使个体易患癌症，过早衰老和其他疾病。对细胞、组织和整个生物体对遗传毒性物质的反应的机制和后果的基本理解，对于环境健康危害方面的知情监管决策至关重要。多学科基础研究和应用研究的结合对这一进程至关重要。这种一体化仍然是环管系统的中心重点，而年度会议是传播信息和促进互动的关键。此外，这些会议还为学生和新研究人员提供了一个重要的论坛，让他们在鼓励公开交流思想的环境中展示他们的研究并与各自领域的顶尖科学家互动。EMS第41届年会将于2010年10月23日至27日在德克萨斯州的沃斯堡举行。主题是“生物学中的复杂系统和风险评估”。科学计划包括EMS内的全部科学兴趣，包括研讨会，讲习班，全体讲座，海报和平台会议。EMS年会汇集了对环境因素如何导致遗传毒性感兴趣的学术，工业和政府科学家。本次会议补助金申请的双重目标是为新参加年会的学员申请旅行奖励资金，并为主要非会员演讲者的旅行费用提供部分支持。EMS认为，它的学生和新的研究人员都是社会和科学家的社会培养的科学努力的未来。旅行奖励有助于抵消可能妨碍受训者参加培训的经济负担。为受邀的非会员演讲者支付差旅费的支持使EMS能够以较低的成本为与会者提供最大的价值。非会员发言者的参与为世界级会议所必需的研究和思想提供了交流。EMS成员发言人支付参加会议的费用。 公共卫生相关性：项目叙述EMS整合了社会内的多个学科的基础和应用研究的机制和后果的反应，遗传毒性剂。这种整合仍然是EMS的中心重点，年会是传播信息和促进研究人员与必须就环境健康危害做出知情监管决定的个人之间互动的关键。这些会议还提供了一个论坛，学生，博士后研究员和新的研究人员可以通过正式的科学会议和非正式的互动与知名科学家分享信息。为实现环管系统的科学目标、培训和外联目标，需要为受邀演讲者的差旅和受训人员差旅奖提供外部支持。
