13th International Congress of Radiation Research

描述（由申请人提供）：提交本申请是为了获得资金，以支持青年科学家（学生，博士后研究员，居民和初级教师）参加第13届国际辐射研究大会（ICRR）的旅行奖励。 从该申请中获得的所有资金将用于上文定义的青年科学家的旅行奖励。 该会议每四年举行一次，在世界各地举行。 它是在国际辐射研究协会（IARR）的赞助下组织的。 来自世界各地的13个专注于辐射研究的国家组织是IARR的成员机构。 在IARR中代表美国和加拿大的组织是辐射研究学会。 这是美国自1974年以来的第一次国会。 第十三届国际会议的目标是：（1）在整个会议期间为年轻的研究人员提供教育机会，使他们了解与辐射的生物学、物理学和化学有关的广泛科学领域的最新研究成果，以及如何将这些知识应用于人类健康问题，（2）提供一个无人反对的教育日，完全集中在放射肿瘤学的分子生物学的主题，（3）创造一个有利于初级和高级科学家之间交流思想的氛围，（4）为国际科学家骨干之间就放射研究主题进行科学交流提供一个论坛。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is being submitted to obtain funding to support travel awards for young scientists (students, post-doctoral fellows, residents and junior faculty) to attend the 13th International Congress of Radiation Research (ICRR). All funds acquired from this application will be applied toward travel awards for young scientists, as defined above. This conference is held every 4th year, at locations throughout the world. It is organized under the auspices of the International Association for Radiation Research (IARR). Thirteen national organizations from around the world that focus on radiation research are the member institutions of IARR. The organization representing the United States and Canada in the IARR is the Radiation Research Society. This particular Congress is the first in the United States since 1974. The objectives of the 13th ICRR are to: (1) Provide educational opportunities throughout the conference for young investigators to learn about state of the art research across a broad scope of science relating to the biology, physics and chemistry of radiation and how such knowledge can be applied to problems in human health, (2) Provide an unopposed Educational Day, focusing entirely on the subject of the molecular biology of radiation oncology, (3) Create an atmosphere conducive to permitting exchange of ideas between junior and more senior scientists and (4) Provide a forum for scientific exchange between an international cadre of scientists on the subject of radiation research.
