RRS Annual Meeting 2004, St. Louis, MO

描述（由申请人提供）：本资助申请的目的是请求部分旅行支持，以允许学生研究人员参加2004年4月24日至27日的放射研究学会（RRS）和国际热肿瘤学大会（ICHO）的2004年联合会议。 辐射研究学会成立于1952年，是一个非营利组织，有三大目标：（1）鼓励在自然科学的所有领域推进辐射研究;（2）促进辐射的性质和影响;（3）通过出版物、会议和教育研讨会传播这一领域的知识。 RRS会议提供了一个重要的机会，交流科学信息和促进我们的年轻研究人员的职业生涯，我们社会的未来领导者。 这些会议包括专题审查、专题讨论会、海报、海报讨论和与海报讨论会有关的小型专题讨论会以及全体讲座。 为了促进年轻研究人员的发展，学会在学会内制定了一项特别计划，以促进学生的参与、成长和发展。 该学者培训计划（SIT）促进年轻科学家和学生在职业生涯的早期就参与社会工作。 该计划的一个组成部分是以旅行奖励的形式支持这些年轻的研究人员参加年会。 这为学生旅行奖获得者提供了展示他们的研究并与该领域的知名研究人员进行交流的机会。 学生旅行奖的评选将由一个奖项评选委员会进行，该委员会包括生物学，化学，医学和物理学学科的代表。 任何科学组织的一个重要目标都是为年轻的研究人员提供一切机会，以促进他们的职业和研究。 在他们职业生涯的早期阶段为他们提供支持，使他们充分参与年度会议，有助于确保辐射科学在未来继续取得卓越成就。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this grant application is to request partial travel support to allow Student Investigators to participate in the 2004 joint meetings of the Radiation Research Society (RRS) and the International Congress of Hyperthermic Oncology (ICHO), April 24-27, 2004. The Radiation Research Society was founded in 1952 as a non-profit organization with three broad objectives: (1) to encourage the advancement of radiation research in all areas of the natural sciences; (2) to facilitate properties and effects of radiation, and (3) to disseminate knowledge in this field through publications, meetings and educational symposia. RRS meetings provide an important opportunity for exchange of scientific information and fostering careers of our young investigators, the future leaders of our society. These meetings incorporate topical reviews, symposia, posters, poster discussion and mini-symposium sessions linked to the poster sessions, and plenary lectures. To enhance the development of young investigators, the society has instituted a special program within the society to foster student participation, growth and development. This scholars in training program (SIT) facilitates the involvement of young scientists and students in the working of the society very early in their careers. An integral component of this program is the support of these young investigators in the form of travel awards to the annual meeting. This provides the opportunity for Student Travel award recipients to present their research and engage in interchange with established investigators in the field. Student Travel award selection will be conducted by an awards selection committee including representatives of the disciplines of Biology, Chemistry, Medicine, and Physics. An important goal of any scientific organization is that young investigators be given every opportunity to advance their careers and their research. Providing support for them at an early stage in their career to participate fully in annual meetings helps to ensure continued and future excellence in the radiation science.
