项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA) Annual Meeting is the premier annual scientific meeting involving all areas of alcohol research. In addition to biological/preclinical aspects, it also covers medical/clinical, and psychosocial research. The RSA meeting is held annually, and previous meetings (37) have been held mostly in the continental US, although some meetings have also been held in Hawaii and Canada (Vancouver, Montreal). For the 38th meeting in 2015, the meeting will be held in San Antonio, TX (June 20-24, 2015). The 39th meeting in 2016 will be in New Orleans, LA. 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 2015 and 2016-2020 meetings. Since RSA is a stable, established organization with annual meetings, this application is for 5 years of funding (support for the 2016-2020 meetings). Planning for the next three meetings is well underway, but we expect similar planning for years 4-5 of this application to begin soon. This application requests funds to offset expenses for young scientists (predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees 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. The specific aim of this grant is to provide travel and registration assistance for students and young investigators to attend the annual RSA meeting. The overall goal is to provide information to those individuals who are interested in learning more about current research in the alcohol field with the possibility of pursuing alcohol research as a career.

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重要年度科学会议，除了生物学/临床前方面外，还涵盖医学/临床和心理社会研究。会议每年举行一次，之前的会议（37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。 2015 年会议将在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥举行（2015 年 6 月 20 日至 24 日），2016 年第 39 次会议将在洛杉矶新奥尔良举行。这些会议的地点将为来自美国各地的科学家提供一个有吸引力的机会。与世界各地的其他人一起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巨大影响，研究展示和讨论的结果将推动这一研究的发展。每次会议的议程都将包括与酒精研究界高度相关的主题，并为讨论现有的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提出。 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，RSA 还将举办许多海报会议，以突出他们的能力，以招募和留住该领域的新研究人员。工作以及提供专业发展活动，以及这将在 2015 年和 2016-2020 年会议中继续进行，因为 RSA 是一个稳定的、有年会的组织，因此该申请适用于 5 年的资金（对 2016-2020 年会议的支持）。正在进行中，但我们预计该申请的第 4-5 年的类似计划很快就会开始。该申请要求资金来抵消年轻科学家（获得最终学位 4 年内的博士前和博士后学员）的费用。参加这些重要会议需要资金来支付差旅费和注册费。还要求支付一些行政费用。这笔赠款的具体目的是为学生和年轻研究人员提供旅行和登记援助。参加年度 RSA 会议的总体目标是为那些有兴趣了解更多有关酒精领域当前研究并有可能将酒精研究作为职业的人提供信息。
