DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an initial request for Conference Support for the World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics (WCPG). This Congress has been organized annually by the International Society of Psychiatric Genetics (ISPG) since 1993, and annual meetings are being planned for the next five years and beyond. It is the most prestigious international forum for research in genetic factors affecting psychiatric conditions. The NIAAA previously sponsored Travel Awardees for this meeting (1993-2000) but has not done so in the last several years. We are proposing that the NIAAA again support travel awards for Young Investigators for the WCPG. We are also proposing that one Plenary Lecturer in genetic studies of alcohol use and abuse be invited for each meeting and that the ISPG receive partial organizational support to allow the meetings to continue and the abstracts to continue to be published in the American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B (Neuropsychiatric Genetics). The interest in this meeting has steadily been increasing and 1000 scientists attended the October 2006 meeting in Cagliari, Sardinia. The 2007 meeting is scheduled in New York City. Alcohol studies have been an area of great achievement in psychiatric genetics and we would like to use this opportunity to showcase the advances that have been made and support young investigators who can assume leadership roles in the future. Relevance to Public Health: This is a request for support for the annual World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics, sponsored by the International Society of Psychiatric Genetics (ISPG). The requested support will permit the selection of six Young Investigators (Assistant Professor or below) per year for the next five years to receive travel support for the Congress. The requested support will also allow an invitation for one Plenary Speaker per year in the area of Alcohol Genetics.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是对世界精神遗传学大会（WCPG）的初步请求。自1993年以来，国际精神遗传学学会（ISPG）每年组织该国会，并计划在未来五年及以后举行年度会议。它是影响精神病疾病的遗传因素研究最负盛名的国际论坛。 NIAAA此前赞助了这次会议的旅行获奖者（1993-2000），但在过去几年中没有这样做。我们建议NIAAA再次为WCPG年轻调查员提供旅行奖。我们还提出，每次会议都邀请一位在饮酒和滥用饮酒的遗传研究中的全体讲师，ISPG获得部分组织支持，以允许会议继续，并且摘要继续在《美国医学遗传学杂志》 B部分（神经精神遗传学）中发表。对这次会议的兴趣一直在增加，有1000名科学家参加了2006年10月在撒丁岛卡利亚里举行的会议。 2007年会议定于纽约市举行。酒精研究一直是精神病遗传学上取得的巨大成就的领域，我们想利用这个机会来展示已取得的进步，并支持未来可以扮演领导角色的年轻调查员。 与公共卫生有关：这是由国际精神遗传学学会（ISPG）赞助的年度世界精神遗传学大会的支持。要求的支持将允许接下来的五年每年选择六名年轻调查人员（助理教授或以下），以获得国会的旅行支持。所请求的支持还将允许每年在酒精遗传学领域的一名全体会议者邀请。
