The 48th Association for Chemoreception Sciences (AChemS) Annual Meeting is the premier international gathering of chemoreception scientists, researchers, and clinicians, organized to advance the understanding of chemosensory systems.

Over the past four decades, AChemS has been instrumental in fostering interdisciplinary research and collaboration in the fields of taste, smell, the chemical senses, and internal chemoreception, from the fundamentals of neurobiology to complex behavior. Through its annual meetings, publications, and networking opportunities, AChemS provides a platform for scientists, clinicians, and industry professionals to exchange ideas, present cutting-edge research findings, and address pressing challenges in chemoreception.

A team of university and Tribal researchers has developed a blueprint for creating research agreements that enable respectful research with Tribes and on Tribal lands. The guidance was developed to address shortcomings in most research policies that are written without Tribal input, often leaving Tribes with unclear protections, data vulnerabilities, and limited control over how information about their lands and people is used.
