项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA) Congress is the premier worldwide scientific meeting devoted to alcohol research. While its roots are in the biomedical aspects of alcohol research (molecular and cellular level biology), over the last decade the Congress has evolved and provided a venue for all areas of alcohol research, including psychosocial, biobehavioral, and epidemiological studies, as well as intervention and clinical research. ISBRA Congresses are held biennially and since the founding of ISBRA, meetings have been held in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, and the United States. For the 16th Congress in 2012, ISBRA will be meeting in Sapporo, Japan. While the Congress is convened every twelve years in the Pan-Pacific Region, this will be the first time the Congress has met in Sapporo. The venue will provide an attractive opportunity for scientists from around the world to come together to present and discuss current research. In the past, this Congress has a major impact on alcohol research in many countries, including those having significant alcohol research programs and just as important, to those with developing programs. The scientific program will be developed to feature topics that are highly relevant to the international alcohol research community and provide opportunities for discussion of existing and new collaborative research proposals. This application requests funds to offset Congress expenses for 85 scientists. Funds will be targeted to U.S. scientists speaking at this meeting and foreign scientists who otherwise might not be able to attend. A substantial amount of funding is targeted to younger investigators, who typically do not have the resources to attend an international meeting. The publication of the Congress proceedings increases the usefulness of the conference to basic researchers and to the clinical and treatment communities by providing widespread distribution and an archive of the presentations; therefore partial Congress program costs are requested. Administrative personnel salary support and a small amount of supplies are included in the budget request. Alcohol use and abuse is one of the world's leading health risks, resulting in over 2 million deaths each year, and is a factor in over 60 major diseases. It plays a significant role in cirrhosis, epilepsy, traffic accidents, poisonings, cancer and violence. Furthermore, it impacts people at a relatively young age, thus leading to its number 3 ranking in terms of risk for disease and disability. It is an international problem, and one that is increasing, particularly in developing countries and countries whose economies are rapidly growing. Solving the multitude of problems related to alcohol abuse and alcoholism needs the involvement of scientists from all countries so that advice and knowledge can be provided to policy makers, and new research ideas can be pursued. The ISBRA Congress provides a forum for these issues on an international level. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Alcohol abuse is an international problem and a major public health issue in many parts of the world as alcohol accounts for nearly 4% of all deaths. Furthermore, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), alcohol consumption ranks as the world's 3rd risk factor for disease and disability, and in middle-income countries, it is the greatest risk. This grant will support attendance at the 16th Congress of the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA), the premier worldwide scientific forum on biomedical and psychosocial aspects of alcohol abuse.

描述（由申请人提供）：国际酒精中毒生物医学研究协会 (ISBRA) 大会是致力于酒精研究的全球首屈一指的科学会议。虽然其根源在于酒精研究的生物医学方面（分子和细胞水平生物学），但在过去十年中，国会不断发展并为酒精研究的所有领域提供了场所，包括心理社会、生物行为和流行病学研究，以及干预和临床研究。 ISBRA 大会每两年举行一次，自 ISBRA 成立以来，已在澳大利亚、加拿大、丹麦、芬兰、法国、德国、日本、英国和美国举行过会议。 2012 年，ISBRA 第 16 届大会将在日本札幌举行。虽然泛太平洋地区大会每十二年召开一次，但这将是大会第一次在札幌举行。该场地将为来自世界各地的科学家提供一个有吸引力的机会，让他们聚集在一起展示和讨论当前的研究。过去，本届大会对许多国家的酒精研究产生了重大影响，包括那些拥有重要酒精研究项目的国家，对于那些正在制定项目的国家也同样重要。该科学计划将制定与国际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案提供机会。该申请请求资金来抵消国会 85 名科学家的费用。资金将专门用于在这次会议上发言的美国科学家和否则可能无法参加的外国科学家。大量资金针对年轻的研究人员，他们通常没有资源参加国际会议。大会记录的出版通过提供广泛的分发和演示文稿的存档，增加了会议对基础研究人员以及临床和治疗界的有用性；因此需要部分国会计划费用。预算请求中包括行政人员工资支持和少量用品。饮酒和滥用酒精是世界上主要的健康风险之一，每年导致超过 200 万人死亡，并且是 60 多种主要疾病的一个因素。它在肝硬化、癫痫、交通事故、中毒、癌症和暴力中发挥着重要作用。此外，它对相对年轻的人产生影响，因此在疾病和残疾风险方面排名第三。这是一个国际问题，而且这一问题正在日益严重，特别是在发展中国家和经济快速增长的国家。解决与酗酒和酗酒相关的众多问题需要各国科学家的参与，以便为政策制定者提供建议和知识，并追求新的研究思路。 ISBRA 大会为国际层面的这些问题提供了一个论坛。公共卫生相关性：酗酒是一个国际问题，也是世界许多地区的一个重大公共卫生问题，因为酒精造成的死亡占所有死亡人数的近 4%。此外，根据世界卫生组织（WHO）的数据，饮酒是世界上疾病和残疾的第三大风险因素，在中等收入国家，这是最大的风险。这笔赠款将支持参加国际酒精中毒生物医学研究学会 (ISBRA) 第 16 届大会，这是关于酒精滥用的生物医学和心理社会方面的全球首要科学论坛。
