CONFERENCE: The International Union of Physiological Sciences & the XXXIV International Congres of Physiological Sciences in Christchurch, New Zealand, August 26-31, 2001

国际生理科学联合会(IUPS)将于2001年8月26日至31日在新西兰克赖斯特彻奇举行其全体大会和XXXIV国际生理科学大会。为了鼓励美国生理学家参加XXXIV大会，美国生理学会将管理一项旅行补助计划，向合格的科学家提供有限数量的旅行奖励。将特别重视新的调查人员以及女性和代表性不足的少数族裔科学家。IUPS的美国全国委员会将成立筛选和遴选委员会，美国生理学会将作为财政代理并发放旅行补助金。国家科学基金会提供的资金将帮助支持大约16名新的、女性和/或代表性不足的少数族裔科学家。旅行计划的总体目标是帮助同事出席XXXIV大会，鼓励女性、青年和代表性不足的少数族裔科学家参加大会，并为发展与澳大拉西亚地区科学家的合作互动提供机会。

The International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS) will hold its General Assembly and the XXXIV International Congress of Physiological Sciences in Christchurch, New Zealand, August 26-31,2001. In order to encourage the participation of U.S. physiologists in the XXXIV Congress, the American Physiological Society will administer a travel grant program, offering a limited number of travel awards to qualified scientists. Special emphasis will be given to new investigators and to female and under-represented minority scientists. The US National Committee of the IUPS will establish the screening and selection committee, and the American Physiological Society will serve as the fiscal agent and award the travel grants. The funds provided by the National Science Foundation will help to support approximately 16 new, female, and/or under-represented minority scientists. The overall goal of the travel program is to provide assistance to colleagues to attend the XXXIV Congress, to encourage the participation of women, young and underrepresented minority scientists in the Congress, and to provide opportunities for the development of collaborative interactions with scientists from the Australasian region.
