DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This U13 proposal requests funding to support a 2-day conference entitled "Transdisciplinary Approaches to Mechanisms of Behavior Change in Alcohol: Facilitating Research across Disciplines and Institutions" The conference is designed to take a next step in efforts to foster Mechanisms of Behavior Change (MOBC) research in the alcohol field. The conference will focus on emerging cross disciplinary knowledge about reward systems and the neurophysiology of emotional regulation in the domains of cognitive science, brain imaging, and genetics and how this new knowledge could inform alcohol treatment and prevention research. In addition, the conference will address the challenges of conducting MOBC alcohol research across disciplines and institutions. The targeted audience will be alcohol researchers working in the basic and clinical areas above who could contribute to transdisciplinary MOBC research, but currently are not positioned to do so. The proposed one-time conference will be held early in the summer of 2008. The location, New York City, is selected because it is an accessible and attractive location for travel, and leverages substantial in-kind logistic support available from Columbia University. The application describes plan to publish conference proceedings in a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal that has wide dissemination to the alcohol research community. In addition, we propose several methods to assess whether the conference achieves its aims.

描述（由申请人提供）：本 U13 提案请求资金支持为期 2 天的会议，题为“酒精行为改变机制的跨学科方法：促进跨学科和机构的研究”该会议旨在采取下一步努力促进酒精领域的行为改变机制（MOBC）研究。会议将重点关注认知科学、脑成像和遗传学领域中关于奖励系统和情绪调节神经生理学的新兴跨学科知识，以及这些新知识如何为酒精治疗和预防研究提供信息。此外，会议还将解决跨学科和机构开展 MOBC 酒精研究的挑战。目标受众是在上述基础和临床领域工作的酒精研究人员，他们可以为跨学科 MOBC 研究做出贡献，但目前还没有能力这样做。拟议的一次性会议将于 2008 年夏初举行。之所以选择纽约市作为会议地点，是因为它交通便利且对旅行有吸引力，并利用哥伦比亚大学提供的大量实物后勤支持。该申请描述了在同行评审期刊的特刊上发表会议记录的计划，该期刊已在酒精研究界广泛传播。此外，我们提出了几种评估会议是否实现其目标的方法。
