DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Seventh Research Workshop on the Biology, Prevention and Treatment of Head and Neck Cancer is the next scheduled conference in a series held every four years. The conference will be held August 18, 2006 to August 21, 2006 at the Downtown Chicago Marriott, Chicago, Illinois. The Research Workshops are the most important international interdisciplinary research conferences focused, in a single meeting, on topics related to head and neck cancer. These topics include molecular genetics, tumor cell biology, immunology, gene therapy, organ-sparing surgery, radiology and imaging, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, chemoprevention, and quality of life issues. The goals of the Research Workshops are to bring together clinical investigators, geneticists, immunologists, and molecular and cellular biologists to share recent advances in head and neck cancer, identify needed areas of future research and disseminate this information to the larger community of investigators in related fields through publication of the abstracts in the journal Head and Neck. The Research Workshops are particularly suitable for training young scientists, who gain exposure to a diverse array of topics related to their own field of studies. This application requests funds for travel scholarships for young investigators to attend the workshop. The Workshops are of utmost importance for research progress in head and neck cancer biology, therapy and prevention and progress contributing to the public health.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于头颈癌的生物学，预防和治疗的第七次研究研讨会是每四年举行的系列计划中的下一次预定会议。会议将于2006年8月18日至2006年8月21日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥市中心市中心举行。研究研讨会是在一次会议上以与头颈癌相关的主题为重点的最重要的国际跨学科研究会议。这些主题包括分子遗传学，肿瘤细胞生物学，免疫学，基因疗法，分类手术，放射学和成像，放疗，化学疗法，化学疗法和生活质量问题。研究研讨会的目标是将临床研究人员，遗传学家，免疫学家以及分子和细胞生物学家汇总在一起，以分享头颈癌的最新进展，确定未来研究的所需领域，并通过摘要在杂志的头和颈部中发表摘要，将这些信息传播给相关领域的较大研究人员。研究研讨会特别适合培训年轻科学家，他们接触了与自己的研究领域有关的各种主题。该申请要求为年轻调查员参加讲习班的旅行奖学金。对于头颈癌生物学，治疗和预防以及为公共卫生做出贡献的研究进度而言，这些研讨会至关重要。
