项目摘要

On behalf of the Summer Neuropeptide Conference, request is being made from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to support several competitive student travel awards to the 2002 Summer Neuropeptide Conference to be held June 29-July 3, 2002 at Marco Island, Florida. Specifically, we are requesting funds in the amount of $4,750 to help defray meeting expenses of several graduate student and postdoctoral trainees who will participate in the conference and interact with established leaders in fields related to the mission of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The title of the NIDA-related symposium at the meeting is "Neuropeptides and Drug Addition", and includes investigators whose research is currently funded by NIDA. This symposium is designed to present the latest state-of-the-art research on the role of neuropeptides in mechanisms of drug addiction and withdrawal. This will be an invaluable opportunity to expose student and junior neuroscience researchers to senior scientists actively engaged in NIDA-related research. The Summer Neuropeptide Conference, now in its twelfth year, has become one of the premier international meetings for neuropeptide research. The conference highlights major new advances in neuropeptide research and attracts a good mixture of senior and junior participants from academia and industry from throughout the world. A significant focus of recent meetings is to include sessions related to peptides and drug abuse, and this has been done again for the 2002 conference. Active participation by graduate and postdoctoral trainees, as well as by women and minority scientists, is strongly encouraged. The format of the conference involves morning and evening symposia, a poster session, a conference banquet, and a plenary lecture by a distinguished scientist. This format, coupled with the informal setting, provides an ideal forum for the exchange of current information and the development of new collaborations among the participants.

代表夏季神经肽会议，国家药物滥用研究所请求支持若干竞争性学生旅行奖，以参加将于 2002 年 6 月 29 日至 7 月 3 日在佛罗里达州马可岛举行的 2002 年夏季神经肽会议。具体来说，我们请求提供 4,750 美元的资金，以帮助支付几名研究生和博士后实习生的会议费用，他们将参加会议并与国家药物滥用研究所使命相关领域的知名领导人进行互动。会议上与NIDA相关的研讨会的标题是“神经肽和药物添加”，包括目前由NIDA资助的研究人员。本次研讨会旨在展示神经肽在药物成瘾和戒断机制中的作用的最新研究成果。这将是一个宝贵的机会，让学生和初级神经科学研究人员接触到积极从事 NIDA 相关研究的资深科学家。夏季神经肽会议现已进入第十二个年头，已成为神经肽研究的重要国际会议之一。会议重点介绍了神经肽研究的重大新进展，并吸引了来自世界各地学术界和工业界的高级和初级参与者。最近会议的一个重要焦点是包括与肽和药物滥用相关的会议，2002 年会议再次这样做了。强烈鼓励研究生和博士后学员以及女性和少数族裔科学家积极参与。会议形式包括早间和晚间研讨会、海报展示会、会议宴会以及杰出科学家的全体报告。这种形式与非正式的环境相结合，为参与者之间交流当前信息和发展新的合作提供了一个理想的论坛。
