DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The central goal of this conference grant application is to provide partial financial support for the Scholars in Training (SIT) educational program in radiation sciences to be held annually over the next 5 years (2009-2013) in conjunction with the annual meetings of the Radiation Research Society (RRS). The overall objective of this proposal is to enhance the training of young scientists in the various disciplines encompassed by the radiation sciences. Activities to achieve this objective include assistance in attending the annual RRS meeting (travel grants), a dedicated workshop at that annual meeting to further the educational experiences of young scientists, and formal meeting and social events that provide opportunities for extended discussions with and exposure to established investigators in this field. Public Health Relevance: This nation is currently facing a serious shortage of individuals knowledgeable in the radiation sciences. Historically, radiation scientists have played major roles in studies of radiation in cancer, both in treatment and diagnosis, as well as in studies of cancer induction. Coping adequately requires additional experts in radiation biology, physics, chemistry, and medicine. The severe manpower shortage has been recognized also by agencies such as NIAID (for countermeasures against radiation as from nuclear or radiological incidents including terrorism), NASA (risks and protection in space flight) and DOE (effects of low level exposures). The long-term goal of this proposal is to help fill the current manpower shortages in this important area by attracting and providing appropriate training to new scientists with backgrounds in modern molecular and cellular biology as well as the physical sciences and medicine.

说明（由申请人提供）：本次会议拨款申请的核心目标是为未来 5 年（2009-2013 年）每年举办的辐射科学学者培训 (SIT) 教育计划提供部分财政支持与辐射研究协会 (RRS) 的年会。该提案的总体目标是加强对辐射科学所涵盖的各个学科的年轻科学家的培训。实现这一目标的活动包括协助参加年度 RRS 会议（旅费补助）、在年会上举办专门研讨会以促进年轻科学家的教育经验，以及提供与他们进行广泛讨论和接触的机会的正式会议和社交活动。已在该领域设立了调查人员。 公共卫生相关性：这个国家目前面临着辐射科学知识人员的严重短缺。从历史上看，放射科学家在癌症放射研究、治疗和诊断以及癌症诱导研究中发挥了重要作用。充分应对需要放射生物学、物理学、化学和医学方面的额外专家。 NIAID（针对包括恐怖主义在内的核或放射性事件的辐射对策）、NASA（太空飞行中的风险和保护）和 DOE（低水平暴露的影响）等机构也认识到了严重的人力短缺。该提案的长期目标是通过吸引具有现代分子和细胞生物学以及物理科学和医学背景的新科学家并为其提供适当的培训，帮助填补这一重要领域当前的人力短缺。
