2016 Annual Meeting of the Radiation Research Society

 描述（由申请人提供）：本补助金申请的总体目标是为2016年举办的辐射科学培训（SITS）教育计划提供部分资金支持，作为辐射研究学会（RRS）年会的一个组成部分。RRS对辐射科学知识的培养和传播有着历史性的承诺，这可以追溯到1952年的成立，许多年轻的研究人员享受着与该领域领导人的独特接触，并从他们的接触中发展自己的合作网络。在过去的十年里，RRS正式确定了其培训目标，最初是通过扩大科学演示，包括贡献 举办海报展示会，并向选定的一些特别调查小组提供旅行奖励。每年在年会第一天之前举行一次特别调查组讲习班（没有反对）。SIT讲习班旨在使新的和新进入该领域的研究人员与现有的辐射研究人员接触，并促进对辐射研究的兴趣。SIT研讨会将在2016年辐射研究学会年会开始时举行。这项建议的目的是为20名特别调查小组成员出席讲习班和驻地代表处全体会议提供赠款。SIT研讨会将为获奖者提供一个机会，展示他们的同行和高级教师对他们当前研究项目的反馈。出席RRS会议将进一步促进他们的教育经验，并为他们提供一个场所，以满足与他们可能在未来工作和联系的领域的领先科学家。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of this grant application is to provide partial financial support for the Scholars-in-Training (SITs) educational program in radiation sciences to be held in 2016 as an integral part of the annual meeting of the Radiation Research Society (RRS). The RRS has an historic commitment to the fostering and dissemination of knowledge in the radiation sciences that goes back to its founding in 1952 with many young investigators enjoying unique access to leaders in the field and developing their own collaborative networks from the contacts they made. In the last decade RRS has formalized its training objectives, initially by expanding the scientific presentations to include contributed poster sessions and by providing travel awards to a selected number of SITs. A SIT workshop is annually held (unopposed) prior to the first day of the annual meeting. The SIT Workshop is meant to bring new and new-to-the-field researchers in contact with established radiation researchers and to promote interest in radiation research. The SIT workshop will take place at the beginning of the 2016 Radiation Research Society Annual Meeting. The aims of this proposal are to fund travel grants for 20 SITs to attend the Workshop and the full RRS meeting. The SIT workshop will provide the awardees an opportunity to present and get feedback on their current research projects from their peers and senior faculty. Attendance at the RRS meeting will further promote their educational experience and provide a venue for them to meet with leading scientists in the field with whom they may work and associate in the future.
