2012 Radiation Chemistry GRS and GRC

描述（由申请人提供）：戈登研究研讨会（GRS）和戈登研究会议（GRC）辐射化学：物理，化学，生物学和工业中的辐射驱动过程，是自1953年以来专注于电离辐射的化学和物理科学的首要小型会议。它将于2012年7月28日至8月3日在新罕布什尔州安多弗的普罗克特学院举行。在北美，没有其他会议能比它更好地：i）促进辐射效应知识的交流，ii）促进将基本辐射发现转化为工业/医学应用。 GRS仅由研究生和博士后研究员组织，运行和参加，在GRC前1天举行。将有4个会议，包括至少4个选定的主题，以补充和增加在GRC期间提出的主题。GRC由知名科学家组织和管理，但由知名科学家和年轻科学家参加。GRC的9个主题是：“从能量吸收到疾病”，“辐射事件后的生物剂量学”，“轨道结构和低能电子”，“DNA和蛋白质中的自由基过程”，“工业/医疗应用的辐照聚合物”，“空间辐射化学/生物学”，“核能和废物管理”，“纳米粒子和表面界面”以及“青年研究者”会议。 预计，i）GRS将有60名研究生和博士后研究员参加，ii）GRC将有至少90名知名科学家以及参加GRS的60名研究生和博士后研究员参加。该提案要求NCI提供5000美元，用于为7名研究生和博士后研究员参加GRS提供注册费和差旅费支持，并为这7名研究生和博士后研究员提供10，000美元的GRC注册费，以及为4名将在GRC会议中担任主席/演讲者/讨论领导的知名科学家提供部分支持。 公共卫生相关性：戈登研究研讨会和戈登研究会议“辐射化学：辐射驱动的物理，化学，生物学和工业过程”满足7月18日至23日，2010年在普罗克特学院在安多弗，新罕布什尔州。它以电离辐射科学为重点，将吸引一流的研究人员和有才华的年轻调查人员。它被广泛认为是最有效的会议之一，利用物理学，化学和生物学中的发现来推进辐射在生物医学和工业科学中的应用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) and Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Radiation Chemistry: Radiation Driven Processes in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Industry, is the premier small- format meeting focused on the chemical and physical science of ionizing radiation since 1953. It will be held at Proctor Academy in Andover, NH from July 28 - Aug 3, 2012. No other meeting in North America does a better job of, i] fostering the interchange of knowledge on radiation effects, and ii] catalyzing the translation of basic radiation discoveries into industrial/medical applications. The GRS, which is organized, run, and attended, only by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, is held 1 day prior to the GRC. There will be 4 sessions encompassing a minimum of 4 topics selected to complement and augment the topics presented during the GRC. The GRC is organized, and run by established scientists, but attend by both the established and young scientists. The 9 topics for the GRC are: "From Energy Absorption to Disease", "Biodosimetry after a Radiological Incident," "Track Structure and Low Energy Electrons," "Free Radical Processes in DNA and Proteins," "Irradiated Polymers for Industrial/ Medical Applications," "Space Radiation Chemistry/Biology," "Nuclear Power and Waste Management," "Nanoparticles and Surface Interfaces", and the "Young Investigator" session. It is anticipated that, i] the GRS will be attended by 60 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and ii] the GRC will be attended by at least 90 established scientists plus the 60 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who attended the GRS. This proposal requests $5000 from the NCI to provide the registration fee and travel support for 7 of the graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the GRS, and $10,000 for the GRC registration fee of these 7 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, plus partial support for 4 of the established scientists who will serve as Chairs/Speakers/Discussion Leaders in the sessions of the GRC. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Gordon Research Seminar and Gordon Research Conference on "Radiation Chemistry: radiation driven processes in physics, chemistry, biology, and industry" meets July 18 - 23, 2010 at the Proctor Academy in Andover, NH. Focused on the science of ionizing radiation, it will attract leading researchers and talented young investigators. It is widely recognized as one of the most effective meetings available with respect to exploiting discoveries made in physics, chemistry, and biology to advance applications of radiation in the biomedical and industrial sciences.
