 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 application requests support for the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Alcohol and the Nervous System that will take place in February 2016 and 2018 at the historic Hotel Galvez in Galveston, TX. The inaugural GRC on this topic took place in 2014 and was considered a tremendous success by all attendees. This application seeks to build on the success of the first meeting by bringing together young and established alcohol researchers, as well as preeminent scientists from related fields, to discuss the latest groundbreaking developments in neuroscience research on alcohol-related health issues. The central goal will be to foster deep and open discussion of research developments, build new scientific collaborations, and propel the next generation of scientific advances in alcohol neuroscience research. The following four specific aims will ensure that we accomplish this goal: 1) To provide an international forum that promotes open discussion of cutting edge research at the forefront of alcohol effects on the nervous system and related neuroscience areas. 2) To introduce breakthrough neuroscience techniques that facilitate the understanding of brain mechanisms driving alcohol drinking and abuse, as well as mechanisms involved in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. 3) To promote interaction between young and senior investigators and the exchange of ideas that will shape the future directions of the alcohol neuroscience community. 4) To foster the development of the next generation of alcohol researchers by encouraging the participation of students and postdoctoral fellows, both in alcohol and related research fields. The "Alcohol and the Nervous System" GRC will focus on presentations and discussions at the forefront of our field. The scope of the research presented will be restricted to basic and clinical studies involving alcohol and the nervous system as well as groundbreaking new neuroscience techniques that can be brought to bear on the greatest challenges facing our field. Talks will address questions centered on the neural substrates that contribute to alcohol-related health disorders across the entire lifespan. The unique GRC format is ideal for breaking down barriers to progress and includes formal talks interspersed with ample discussion time, poster sessions, and informal discussion periods designed to stimulate communication, planning, and collaboration. To foster the growth of the next generation of alcohol researchers, we will put concerted efforts into encouraging and supporting participation of students, postdoctoral fellows and young investigators. Thus, this R13 will foster communication of frontier alcohol research, opportunities for cutting edge scientific collaboration, and entry of new and younger investigators into the alcohol research field. We envision the GRC on "Alcohol and the Nervous System" will significantly advance our current understanding of the neurobiology of alcohol addiction and stimulate the development of effective therapeutic approaches for the treatment of alcohol use disorders.

 描述（由申请人提供）：此 R13 申请请求支持关于酒精和神经系统的戈登研究会议 (GRC)，该会议将于 2016 年 2 月和 2018 年在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿历史悠久的加尔维兹酒店举行。该主题于 2014 年举行，所有与会者都认为取得了巨大成功。该应用程序旨在通过将年轻和成熟的酒精研究人员聚集在一起，在第一次会议的成功基础上再接再厉。作为相关领域的杰出科学家，讨论与酒精相关的健康问题的神经科学研究的最新突破性进展，中心目标是促进对研究进展的深入和开放的讨论，建立新的科学合作，并推动下一代科学。以下四个具体目标将确保我们实现这一目标： 1) 提供一个国际论坛，促进酒精对神经系统和相关神经科学领域前沿研究的公开讨论2。 ) 引入突破性的神经科学技术促进对导致饮酒和滥用的大脑机制以及涉及胎儿酒精谱系障碍的机制的理解 3) 促进年轻和资深研究人员之间的互动和思想交流，从而塑造酒精神经科学界的未来方向。 4) 通过鼓励酒精及相关研究领域的学生和博士后的参与，促进下一代酒精研究人员的发展。“酒精与神经系统”GRC 将侧重于前沿的演讲和讨论。我们的领域。所提出的研究将仅限于酒精和神经系统的基础和临床研究，以及涉及新神经科学技术的突破性研究，这些技术可以解决我们领域面临的最大挑战。演讲将解决以神经基质为中心的问题。独特的 GRC 形式非常适合打破进步障碍，包括穿插有充足讨论时间的正式演讲、海报会议和旨在促进沟通、规划和协作的非正式讨论时间。为了培育下一代的成长新一代酒精研究人员，我们将共同努力鼓励和支持学生、博士后研究员和年轻研究人员的参与。因此，R13 将促进前沿酒精研究的交流、尖端科学合作的机会以及新的和年轻的研究人员的加入。我们预计，“酒精与神经系统”GRC 将显着增进我们目前对酒精成瘾神经生物学的理解，并促进开发治疗酒精使用障碍的有效治疗方法。
