The United States Department of Energy (DOE) and the American Association
for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) announce the 1997 DOE/AAAS Travel
Fellowship Program on Environment and Health. This program will award
travel grants to five young scientists from East Central Europe and the
countries of the former Soviet Union to attend the AAAS Annual Meeting,
13-18 February 1997, in Seattle, Washington, United States. Travel fellows
will present their research findings in a poster session at the Annual
Meeting and in other fora around the Seattle, Washington area.

The topic for the 1997 program is "Clinical and Dose Reconstruction
Aspects of the Relationship between Glandular Disease and Exposure to
Radioactive Iodine." Epidemiologists, clinicians, health physicists, and
others who currently conduct research on clinical or dose reconstruction
aspects of this problem are invited to apply.
Eligible applicants must have completed their university degree no earlier
