Travel grants available for NIS scientists with research 
		       in environment and health

DOE/AAAS TRAVEL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

The United States Department of Energy (DOE) and the American
Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) seek to recognize
the research accomplishments of mid-career scientists from East
Central Europe (ECE) and the countries of the former Soviet Union
(FSU) in the area of environment and health, especially as it
relates to the problems of radiation contamination and health.  A
program has been established to award young ECE and FSU scientists
travel grants to attend the AAAS Annual Meeting and be able to
present their research findings to conference attendees during
poster sessions.

The 1996 AAAS Annual Meeting will be held from February 8 - 13 in
Baltimore, Maryland.

THE AWARD

DOE/AAAS Fellows will be given economy class travel support to the
conference along with lodging and per diem reimbursement for food
and incidental expenses.  The fellows will also participate in
off-site visits to local agencies and institutes directly related
to their research.

ELIGIBILITY

Applications by ECE and FSU graduate students and post-doctoral
scientists (within five years ofcompleting their degree) who
currently are actively conducting research in the areas of
environmental contamination and health in geographic regions
identified as being contaminated by radiation will be accepted.
This would include resarchers in these regions specializing not
only in the effects ofradiation contamination on health but also
other possible contributory causes (e. g. chemical contamination)
of negative health effects (e. g. leukemia and other forms of
cancers) in these regions. These individuals must be working at
recognized scientific research institutions; must be able to speak,
read, and write English with a moderate degree of fluency; and must
be able to gain the permission of their governments to travel.

APPLICATION AND NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES

Application materials should include all of the following:  1) a
letter of intent by the applicant including name, affiliation, and
address, telephone, and email address, if any, where he/she can be
reached; 2) an abstract of the proposed poster session including a
brief description of the research question, research design,
methods, results, discussion, and conclusions reached; 3) a
curriculum vitae; and 4) two letters of support from professors or
colleagues familiar with the applicant's research. These materials
must be submitted to AAAS by mail or fax no later than October 31,
1995.  No late or incomplete applications will be considered.

A kovetkezot olvasom a neten:

  -tol:

As a followup to my last query concerning recent events related to the
Gabcikovo-Nagymaros dispute, I recently came accross a brief press release
(I think printed in The Financial Times) stating that the World Wildlife
Fund has reviewed the impact of Slovakia's Gabcikovo hydro plant and conceded
that it was wrong in its earlier judgement of negative environmental
consequences from the installation.  The story further states that
the installation has in fact resulted in a considerably higher groundwater
level in the area upstream from the dam, thus benefiting plant and animal
life in the region.  Finally, it claims that WWF also conceded that had
the Nagymaros dam been built along with Gabcikovo as originally planned,
water quantities in the whole Danube region would have increased.
This story was dated May 19, 1995.
Does anyone have any info on the validity of these claims?  I have not been
able to find any other material with similar statements or findings.  I do
plan to contact WWF here in Washington, D.C.
I would appreciate any leads.
Thanks . . .
