The Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS) was founded in 1969 to provide a forum for the establishment and support of scientists in the field of environmental mutagenesis. The mission of the Society is (1) to foster scientific research and education on the causes and mechanistic bases of DNA damage and repair, mutagenesis, heritable effects, epigenetic alterations in genome function, and their relevance to disease, and (2) to promote the application and communication of this knowledge to genetic toxicology testing, risk assessment, and regulatory policy-making to protect human health and the environment. For the past 49 years, EMGS members have made many of the most important discoveries pertaining to the mechanisms of the induction of mutations, the roles of DNA repair defects and resulting mutations in toxicology and disease susceptibility, and the challenges of assessing risks from environmental exposures to mutagens. Recognizing the importance of its diverse mix of professionals to exchange ideas and the latest experimental findings, the EMGS held its first meeting in Washington, DC on March 22-25, 1970, and has continued this tradition by providing a venue for these professionals to meet annually. Each year, the EMGS Annual Meeting Program Committee strives to represent the full spectrum of strengths of the Society, encompassing most of the areas of current research that converge on the issues of environmental exposure and how cells and organisms respond to such challenges. In this proposal, we are requesting funds to defray part of the expenses for 2019– 2023 EMGS Annual Meetings. The 2019 Program Committee has arranged for an outstanding and expansive scientific program that consists of a workshop, symposia, and platform and poster sessions. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of our Society, we have assembled speakers to talk briefly about the past, present, and future of some of the main fields of interest represented by the EMGS membership. In addition to the scientific program, the Annual Meeting will convene meetings of the nine Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that represent the diversity of the Society.

环境诱变和基因组学协会（EMGS）成立于1969年，为论坛提供了一个论坛 在环境诱变领域的科学家建立和支持。社会的使命是 （1）培养有关DNA损伤和维修的原因和机械基础的科学研究和教育， 诱变，可遗传作用，基因组功能的表观遗传改变以及疾病的释放，以及 （2）促进这些知识在遗传毒理学测试中的应用和交流，风险 评估和监管决策，以保护人类健康和环境。 在过去的49年中，EMGS成员已经做出了许多与该发现有关的最重要发现 突变诱导的机制，DNA修复缺陷的作用和毒理学突变的作用 和疾病的敏感性，以及评估诱变剂环境暴露的风险的挑战。 认识到其潜水员组合专业人士在交换想法和最新实验的重要性 调查结果，EMGS于1970年3月22日至25日在华盛顿特区举行了首次会议，并继续了 传统通过为这些专业人员提供每年见面的场所。每年，EMGS年度会议 计划委员会努力代表社会的各种优势，涵盖了大多数 当前的研究领域，这些研究汇聚在环境暴露问题以及细胞和生物如何 应对这种挑战。在此提案中，我们要求资金支付2019年– 2019年费用的一部分 2023年EMGS年度会议。 2019年计划委员会已安排一项杰出而广泛的科学计划，该计划包括 讲习班，研讨会，平台和海报会议。为了纪念我们的50周年 社会，我们已经组装了演讲者，简要讨论了一些主要的过去，现在和未来 EMGS成员代表的感兴趣领域。除了科学计划外，年会 将举行代表社会多样性的九个特殊利益集团（SIG）的便利会议。
