DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) 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 toxins. Studies of DNA repair and mutagenesis by EMS scientists are integrated with research on inherited and acquired genetic alterations, including epigenetic effects that predispose individuals to cancer, premature aging, and other diseases. Fundamental understanding of the mechanisms and consequences of cellular, tissue, whole organism, and human population 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 the necessary 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 42nd Annual Meeting of the EMS will be held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from October 15-19, 2012. The theme is "Environmental Impacts on the Genome and Epigenome: Mechanisms and Risk". The scientific program encompasses the full range of scientific interests within EMS and is comprised of symposia, workshops, plenary lectures, public lecture, and poster and platform sessions. EMS Annual Meetings bring together academic, industrial and governmental scientists interested in how environmental factors lead to genotoxic and epigenetic outcomes. The dual objectives of this conference grant application are to request funds for Travel Awards for trainees 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, thus expenses for their participation are not requested in this application. Public Health Relevance: EMS is a multifaceted Society whose members have expertise in multiple disciplines covering all aspects of basic and applied research on mechanisms and consequences of responses to genotoxic agents. Integration of these disciplines 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 early career investigators can share information with established scientists through formal scientific sessions and informal interactions.

描述（由申请人提供） 环境诱变剂协会（EMS）是促进DNA修复和诱变的基本机制的研究，并将这些知识应用于了解暴露于环境毒素对人类健康的影响的主要科学协会。 EMS科学家对DNA修复和诱变的研究与对遗传和获得性遗传改变的研究相结合，包括使个体易患癌症，过早衰老和其他疾病的表观遗传效应。对细胞、组织、整个生物体和人类群体对遗传毒性剂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，年度会议是传播信息和促进必要互动的关键。此外，会议为学生和新的研究人员提供了一个重要的论坛，以介绍他们的研究，并在鼓励公开交流思想的环境中与各自领域的领先科学家进行互动。 第42届EMS年会将于2012年10月15日至19日在加拿大魁北克蒙特利尔举行。主题是“环境对基因组和表观基因组的影响：机制和风险”。科学计划包括EMS内的所有科学兴趣，包括研讨会，讲习班，全体讲座，公开讲座，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和表观遗传结果感兴趣的学术，工业和政府科学家。本次会议补助金申请的双重目标是申请资金用于学员参加年会的旅行奖励，以及部分支持主要非会员演讲者的旅行费用。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。邀请非会员的发言者参加会议，可以使研究和思想相互交流，这是召开世界级会议所必需的。 EMS成员发言人支付他们参加会议的费用，因此在此申请中不要求他们参加会议的费用。 公共卫生相关性：EMS是一个多方面的社会，其成员在多个学科的专业知识，涵盖了基础和应用研究的机制和遗传毒性剂的反应的后果的各个方面。这些学科的整合仍然是EMS的中心重点，年度会议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。 会议还提供了一个论坛，学生，博士后研究员和早期职业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。
