The 2009 Annual Conference of the International Society of Exposure Science

描述（由申请人提供）：根据PA-08-149，“会议和科学会议的支持（R13/U13）”，暴露分析成为ISES。会议组织者要求提供15 000美元的赞助，以支持一个多学科的国际科学会议，重点是环境健康和人类与生态暴露科学方面的创新。会议的主题是“21世纪暴露科学的转型”，将在明尼苏达州的明尼阿波利斯市举行。会议定于2009年11月1日至5日举行，将有助于建立跨研究学科和组织的伙伴关系，以解决在全球、国家和区域环境背景下导致暴露和环境健康风险的复杂关系。将在会议上介绍和讨论的信息将侧重于在人类健康影响研究的背景下测量和模拟环境暴露方法的创新，重点是推进科学理解、研究和评估方法。会议形式将包括全体会议和专题讨论会，讨论科学发现对公共卫生的影响。会议上介绍和讨论的信息将集中在NIEHS的几个总体目标上，包括1)建立综合环境卫生研究计划，以解决人类疾病的交叉问题，2)改善和扩大社区相关研究，3)开发环境暴露的敏感标记；4)招募和培训下一代环境卫生科学家；5)促进NIEHS与其他NIH研究所、国家和国际研究机构、学术界、工业界和社区组织之间的伙伴关系的发展，以改善人类健康。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Exposure Analysis became ISES) under PA-08-149, "Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (R13/U13). The conference organizers are requesting $15,000 in sponsorship to provide support for a multi-disciplinary international scientific conference, focusing on innovation in environmental health and human and ecological exposure science. The conference theme is "Transforming Exposure Science in the 21st Century," and it will be located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The conference is scheduled for November 1- 5, 2009 and will help enable partnerships across research disciplines and organizations to address the complex relationships that lead to exposure and environmental health risks in the context of the global, national, and regional environment. Information to be presented and discussed at the conference will focus on innovations in methods to measure and model environmental exposures in the context of human health effect studies, with an emphasis on advancing scientific understanding, research and assessment methods. The conference format will include plenary sessions and symposia that will address public health implications of the scientific findings. Information presented and discussed at the conference will focus on several of the NIEHS's overarching goals, including 1) building integrated environmental health research programs to address the cross-cutting problems in human disease, 2) improving and expanding community-linked research, 3) developing sensitive markers of environmental exposure; 4) recruiting and training the next generation of environmental health scientists; and 5) fostering the development of partnerships between the NIEHS and other NIH institutes, national and international research agencies, academia, industry, and community organizations to improve human health.
