DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for the 37th annual meeting of the International Narcotics Research Conference (INRC) to be held in St. Paul, Minnesota from July 9-14, 2006. INRC has for many years been the most prestigious international meeting for the dissemination and exchange of information about biomedical research on opiate drugs and the endogenous opioid system. The topics range from molecular to behavioral and clinical studies. While the main topic is still opiate drugs and abuse, there is increasing discussion of other abused drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, and alcohol, since extensive interactions between these drugs and the endogenous opioid system has been documented. Support is requested primarily for partial travel support to enable young scientists, i.e., graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty, to participate in the Conference. A small portion of funds will support distinguished plenary speakers from other disciplines, relevant to research on addictive drugs, who will describe strategies, concepts or techniques likely to be useful to an INRC audience. Invited symposium speakers, not normally INRC participants, will receive partial support. Funds requested for administrative and meeting expenses represent about 15% of the total. This year, INRC has five confirmed plenary speakers on various topics, including Drs. Gary Bessell, Emory University, Jonathan Sweedler, University of Illinois, and Paul Worley, Johns Hopkins University. Drs. Huda Akil and Stan Watson from the Univ. of Michigan were elected the Founders' Lecturer for the 2006 Meeting. Eight symposia will cover a wide range of topics described in the application, including proteomics and drug abuse, genetic insights into reward-directed behaviors, regulation of opioid receptor genes, opioids as modulators of cell death and survival, opioids and stress, and opioids, HIV-1 and opportunistic infections. A number of relevant contributed papers will be chosen for oral presentation at each symposium. There will be three poster sessions, at which there is always much exchange and discussion. There will be a workshop on NIDA updates and grant writing. For participants from many countries, this international meeting is their only chance to meet and exchange ideas. We feel that participation by many pre- and post-doctoral trainees has resulted and is likely to continue to result in recruiting promising scientists to a career of drug abuse research.

说明（由申请人提供）：请求支持将于 2006 年 7 月 9 日至 14 日在明尼苏达州圣保罗举行的国际麻醉品研究大会 (INRC) 第 37 届年会。INRC 多年来一直是最负盛名的会议传播和交流阿片类药物和内源性阿片类药物系统生物医学研究信息的国际会议。主题范围从分子到行为和临床研究。虽然主要话题仍然是阿片类药物和滥用，但对其他滥用药物的讨论也越来越多，例如大麻、可卡因、安非他明和酒精，因为这些药物与内源性阿片类药物系统之间存在广泛的相互作用已被记录。主要要求提供部分差旅支持，以使年轻科学家，即研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师能够参加会议。一小部分资金将支持与成瘾药物研究相关的其他学科的杰出全体演讲者，他们将描述可能对 INRC 听众有用的策略、概念或技术。受邀的研讨会发言人（通常不是 INRC 参与者）将获得部分支持。行政和会议费用请求资金约占总额的 15%。今年，INRC 有五位已确认的全体会议发言人就各种主题发表演讲，其中包括 Drs.加里·贝塞尔（Gary Bessell），埃默里大学；乔纳森·斯威德勒（Jonathan Sweedler），伊利诺伊大学；保罗·沃利（Paul Worley），约翰·霍普金斯大学。博士。来自大学的胡达·阿基尔和斯坦·沃森。密歇根州的博士被选为 2006 年会议的创始人讲师。八场研讨会将涵盖申请中描述的广泛主题，包括蛋白质组学和药物滥用、奖励导向行为的遗传见解、阿片受体基因的调节、阿片类药物作为细胞死亡和生存的调节剂、阿片类药物和压力以及阿片类药物， HIV-1 和机会性感染。每次研讨会都会选择一些相关的论文进行口头报告。将会有三场海报会议，会上总是有很多交流和讨论。将举办关于 NIDA 更新和资助写作的研讨会。对于来自许多国家的与会者来说，这次国际会议是他们见面和交流的唯一机会。我们认为，许多博士前和博士后学员的参与已经并可能继续招募有前途的科学家从事药物滥用研究。
