INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON OLFACTION AND TASTE

这项提议要求支持部分费用 国际嗅觉与味道研讨会(ISOT)将于7月7日- 12 1997年，加州圣地亚哥，由化学接收协会主办 科学(AChemS)。ISO会议现在每4年举行一次，在 由欧洲、日本化学传感研究机构轮换 和美国的ISOT会议作为定期审查和重新致力于 在化学意义上的研究努力，并作为世界上 该领域的领先研究人员传播他们的研究结果 研究，并交流信息和专业知识。这个立交桥， 对任何多学科研究企业的成功至关重要，并不是 只是在专家之间，也与初级调查人员，博士后 参加会议的科学家和研究生。因此，它是一种 为年轻的研究人员提供联系和展示的独特机会 向国际观众展示他们的作品。AChemS提供了一些帮助 给研究生、少数群体成员和临床住院医生 出席。这次ISOT会议是与1997年的 AChemS，它为化学传感研究社区的所有成员提供 有机会以志愿者的形式展示他们的最新成果。 其中一些被选为创新和重要的演讲，将是 汇集成与十五个主要研讨会相关的小型研讨会 它们构成了ISOT会议的中坚力量。 这项建议是专门为支持15个主要国家中的7个而提出的 研讨会，主要专家将在研讨会上讨论当前和新出现的问题 在化学感官研究中，主要是在分子、细胞和 系统级别。其他由其他来源支持的研讨会将讨论 心理物理、临床、老龄化和工业方面。几个座谈会 将包括初级研究人员和几个还包括来自其他国家的专家 分子遗传学和系统分析等领域的技术 和洞察力，以激发化学感官的创新研究。一项计划 有这么多杰出的化学感官和其他科学家的研讨会， 每一次都为研究问题带来了尖端的洞察力，这就是为什么 ISOT会议对化学感官研究如此有价值。知识分子 连锁反应从这一关键的科学人才群体中引发 以意想不到的方式，通过想法、信息、 联系和获取资源，以及许多个人研究成果。它 就是为了组装这个关键的质量，在这个过程中请求支持 求婚。 座谈会和志愿者演讲的摘要将是 作为《嗅觉与味道》系列丛书之一出版，并将 被广泛传播。

This proposal requests support for a portion of the costs of the International Symposium on Olfaction and Taste (ISOT) to be held July 7 - 12 1997 in San Diego CA, hosted by the Association for Chemoreception Sciences (AChemS). ISOT meetings are now held every 4 years, hosted on a rotating basis by the chemosensory research organizations of Europe, Japan and the U.S. The ISOT meetings serve as a periodic review and rededication of research efforts in the chemical senses, and as a forum for the world's leading researchers in the field to disseminate the results of their research, and to exchange information and expertise. This interchange, vital to the success of any multidisciplinary research enterprise, is not just between experts but also with the junior investigators, postdoctoral scientists and graduate students that attend the meeting. As such it is a unique opportunity for younger researchers to make contacts and to present their work to an international audience. AChemS provides some assistance to graduate students, members of minority groups and clinical residents to attend. This ISOT meeting is combined with the 1997 annual meeting of AChemS, which affords all members of the chemosensory research community an opportunity to present their latest results as volunteer presentations. Some of these presentations, selected as innovative and important, will be assembled into mini-symposia associated with the fifteen main symposia which form the backbone of the ISOT meeting. This proposal is specifically for support of seven of the fifteen main symposia, in which leading experts will address current and emerging issues in chemical senses research, primarily at the molecular, cellular and systems level. Other symposia, supported from other sources, will address psychophysical, clinical, aging and industrial aspects. Several symposia will include junior researchers and several also include experts from other fields, such as molecular genetics and systems analysis, with techniques and insight to spark innovative research in the chemical senses. A program with so many symposia by outstanding chemosensory and other scientists, each bringing cutting edge insight into research questions, is what makes the ISOT meeting so valuable to chemical senses research. The intellectual chain reactions set off from this critical mass of scientific talent energize the field, contributing in unexpected ways by ideas, information, contacts and access to resources, to many individual research efforts. It is for the assembly of this critical mass that support is requested in this proposal. The symposia, and abstracts of the volunteer presentations, will be published as one of the series of "Olfaction and Taste" volumes, and will be widely disseminated.
