项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA) Annual Meeting is the premier scientific meeting involving all areas of alcohol research. In addition to biomedical aspects, it also covers medical/clinical, and psychosocial research. The RSA meeting is held annually, and previous meetings (31) have been held mostly in the continental US, although some meetings have also been held in Hawaii and Canada (Vancouver, Montreal). For the 32nd meeting in 2009, the meeting will be held in San Diego, California (June 19-24, 2008). The 33rd meeting in 2010 will be in San Antonio, TX. The location of these meetings will provide an attractive opportunity for scientists from around the U.S.A. along with others around the world to present and discuss their research. The meetings will have a large impact on alcohol research in the U.S., and the outcome of the research presentations and discussion will advance the field. The program for each meeting will feature topics that are highly relevant to the alcohol research community and provide opportunities for discussion of existing and new collaborative research. The research presentations will be in the form of symposia, roundtables, and workshops that will be proposed by the membership of RSA. The RSA Program Committee will select the proposals with the highest scientific merit and innovation. In addition, numerous poster sessions will be held. The RSA has made an effort to recruit and retain new investigators in the field by highlighting their work as well as providing professional development activities, and this will continue for the 2009 and 2010 meetings. This application requests funds to offset expenses for young scientists (predoctoral and new investigators within 4 years of their terminal degree) to attend these important meetings. Funds are requested for travel and registration fees. An effort will be made to specifically target underrepresented groups. Some administrative costs are also requested.

描述（由申请人提供）：酒精中毒研究协会 (RSA) 年会是涉及酒精研究所有领域的首要科学会议。除了生物医学方面外，它还涵盖医学/临床和心理社会研究。 RSA会议每年举行一次，之前的会议（31次）主要在美国大陆举行，尽管也有一些会议在夏威夷和加拿大（温哥华、蒙特利尔）举行。 2009年第32次会议将于加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行（2008年6月19日至24日）。 2010 年第 33 次会议将在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥举行。这些会议的地点将为来自美国各地的科学家以及世界各地的其他科学家提供一个有吸引力的机会来展示和讨论他们的研究。这些会议将对美国的酒精研究产生重大影响，研究报告和讨论的结果将推动该领域的发展。每次会议的议程都将包含与酒精研究界高度相关的主题，并为讨论现有和新的合作研究提供机会。研究报告将以研讨会、圆桌会议和研讨会的形式进行，由 RSA 成员提议。 RSA计划委员会将选出具有最高科学价值和创新性的提案。此外，还将举办大量海报会议。 RSA 努力通过强调新研究人员的工作以及提供专业发展活动来招募和留住该领域的新研究人员，这种做法将在 2009 年和 2010 年的会议上继续进行。该申请要求提供资金来抵消年轻科学家（博士前和毕业后 4 年内的新研究人员）参加这些重要会议的费用。需要资金用于支付差旅费和注册费。将努力专门针对代表性不足的群体。还要求一些行政费用。
