2014 Conference on Radiation and Health

描述(由申请人提供)：这项赠款申请的总体目标是为辐射与人类健康早期阶段辐射与健康调查人员(ESRI)教育计划提供部分资金支持，该计划将于2014年举行，作为长期存在的两年一度的辐射与健康会议(CRH)的组成部分。CRH对促进和传播辐射科学知识有着历史性的承诺，这一承诺可以追溯到1981年成立，许多早期研究人员享有接触该领域领导人的独特机会，并根据他们建立的联系发展自己的合作网络。在过去十年中，会议正式确定了其培训目标，最初的做法是扩大科学报告，将投稿的海报和会议包括在内，并(从2010年开始)向选定的一些早期调查人员提供旅行奖励。第一个ERSI研讨会是作为2012年CRH在Kenenbunkport ME举行的会议的一部分启动的，尽管自会议开始以来，初级和高级调查人员之间的这种互动一直在随意进行。ESRI会议的目的是让新进入该领域的研究人员与现有的辐射和健康研究人员接触，并促进对与人类健康有关的辐射研究的兴趣。CRH ESRI研讨会将在CRH会议开始时举行，该会议将与2014年辐射研究学会年会同时举行。这项提议的目的是资助10名早期科学家参加讲习班和CRH全体会议的旅费。ESRI研讨会将为获奖者提供一个机会，介绍他们当前的研究项目，并从他们的同行和资深教师那里获得反馈。参加CRH会议将进一步促进他们的教育经验，并为他们提供一个场所，让他们与未来可能合作和合作的该领域的领先科学家见面。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of this grant application is to provide partial financial support for the Early Stage Radiation and Health Investigator (ESRI) educational program in radiation and human health to be held in 2014 as an integral part of the long-established biennial Conference on Radiation and Health (CRH). The CRH has an historic commitment to the fostering and dissemination of knowledge in the radiation sciences that goes back to its founding in 1981 with many early stage investigators enjoying unique access to leaders in the field and developing their own collaborative networks from the contacts they made. In the last decade the conference has formalized its training objectives, initially by expanding the scientific presentations to include contributed poster and sessions and by providing travel awards (beginning in 2010) to a selected number of early stage investigators. The first ERSI workshop was launched as a part of the 2012 CRH meeting in Kennebunkport ME, although such interactions between junior and senior investigators have been taking place casually since the conference's inception. The ESRI session is meant to bring new and new-to-the-field researchers in contact with established radiation and health researchers and to promote interest in human health-related radiation research. A CRH ESRI workshop will take place at the beginning of the CRH meeting which will be held simultaneously with the 2014 Radiation Research Society Annual Meeting. The aims of this proposal are to fund travel grants for 10 early stage scientists to attend the Workshop and the full CRH meeting. The ESRI workshop will provide the awardees an opportunity to present and get feedback on their current research projects from their peers and senior faculty. Attendance at the CRH meeting will further promote their educational experience and provide a venue for them to meet with leading scientists in the field with whom they may work and associate in the future.
