项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this grant is to provide support for the Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies (CAAS) at Brown University, Providence, RI, to host the 2011 NIAAA Training Directors Meeting on September 23, 2011, and the 2011 NIAAA Trainee Workshop on September 24-25, 2011. This application for an R13 NIH Conference Grant responds to PA-10-071 which provides a mechanism for convening high quality conferences, scientific meetings, and workshops that advance the scientific mission of the NIH and ultimately benefit public health. Since 1999, the NIAAA Training Directors Meeting and Trainee Workshop have been held on a biennial basis. There have been a total of six meetings to date; the first five were held at Indiana University and the most recent was held at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. The current proposal has been prompted by an invitation from NIAAA to host the next meeting in the fall of 2011; upon accepting, we were directed to prepare this R13 Conference Grant application for this purpose. As required by the R13 mechanism, we have requested and received advance permission to submit this application; the letter from NIAAA documenting advance permission is included in the Cover Letter component of this application. Further, we have consulted with Dr. Mariela Shirley while preparing this application. The objectives of this meeting and workshop are to promote NIAAA staff interaction with training directors to optimize operation of the training programs, and to bring together trainees throughout the alcohol research/training community to facilitate interactions with senior researchers and NIAAA staff, develop future training and research opportunities, and to provide trainees with information on funding opportunities and career advancement. These objectives will be met with the following specific activities: 1) training directors will meet with NIAAA staff to review T32 policies and discuss operational recommendations to facilitate training success; 2) training directors, NIAAA staff, and trainees will convene for formal plenary scientific lectures on themes relevant to the NIAAA mission; 3) Dr. Kenneth Warren, NIAAA Acting Director, will provide an update on NIH activities and NIAAA initiatives; 4) NIAAA staff will lead participate in activities to promote the professional development of trainees, including a lecture on grants opportunities throughout the career path at NIAAA, and a mock IRG meeting; 5) trainees will make presentations on their current research either as plenary lecture in a series of paper sessions, or during a poster session. Trainee abstracts will be submitted in advance and subjected to peer-review; travel support will be provided to 45 trainees based on this competitive process. Travel expenses for those trainees selected to participate in the trainee workshop will be provided by this grant. The scientific program will reflect the broad diversity of research conducted at NIAAA T32 training programs nationally and will balance the proportion of research presented across the continuum from "bench to bedside" and will emphasize translational approaches to achieving scientific innovation and public health impact. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The NIAAA Training Directors Meeting and Trainee Workshop occur on a biennial basis to bring together NIAAA staff with Training Directors to enhance operation of the training programs consistent with NIAAA mission and priorities, and to bring together NIAAA trainees with Training Directors and NIAAA staff to develop future training and research opportunities. This meeting will cut across the fields of basic biological sciences, epidemiology and etiology, prevention, clinical and public health research and will emphasize translational approaches to increasing innovation and public health impact of alcohol research; opportunities for new insights and collaborations have the potential to accelerate the pace of science in the field of alcohol research.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this grant is to provide support for the Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies (CAAS) at Brown University, Providence, RI, to host the 2011 NIAAA Training Directors Meeting on September 23, 2011, and the 2011 NIAAA Trainee Workshop on September 24-25, 2011. This application for an R13 NIH Conference Grant responds to PA-10-071 which provides a mechanism for convening high quality conferences, scientific meetings,以及推进NIH的科学任务并最终使公共卫生受益的讲习班。自1999年以来，NIAAA培训主管会议和实习生研讨会已每两年举行。迄今为止，总共举行了六次会议；前五个在印第安纳大学举行，最近在路易斯安那州立大学健康科学中心举行。 NIAAA的邀请提示了当前的提案，该提案在2011年秋季举行下一次会议。接受后，我们被指示为此目的准备此R13会议赠款申请。根据R13机制的要求，我们已要求并获得了提交此申请的预先许可； NIAAA记录预先许可的信件包含在本申请的求职信组件中。此外，我们在准备此申请时已经咨询了Mariela Shirley博士。这次会议和研讨会的目标是促进NIAAA员工与培训导演的互动，以优化培训计划的运作，并在整个酒精研究/培训社区中召集学员，以促进与高级研究人员和NIAAA员工的互动，开发未来的培训和研究机会，并为受训人员提供有关资金机会和职业进步的信息。这些目标将具有以下特定活动：1）培训主管将与NIAAA员工会面，以审查T32政策并讨论运营建议，以促进培训成功； 2）培训董事，NIAAA工作人员和受训人员将召集与NIAAA任务相关的主题的正式全体科学演讲； 3）NIAAA代理主任肯尼斯·沃伦（Kenneth Warren）博士将提供有关NIH活动和NIAAA计划的最新消息； 4）NIAAA工作人员将领导活动以促进学员的专业发展，包括在NIAAA的整个职业道路上进行赠款机会的演讲，以及一次模拟IRG会议； 5）学员将在一系列纸质会议中或海报会议期间就其当前的研究进行演讲。学员摘要将提前提交并进行同行评审；根据这个竞争过程，将向45名学员提供旅行支持。该赠款将为那些被选中参加学员研讨会的受训者的差旅费。该科学计划将反映在全国NIAAA T32培训计划中进行的广泛研究的多样性，并将平衡从“台式到床边”连续体呈现的研究比例，并将强调转化方法来实现科学创新和公共卫生影响。公共卫生相关性：NIAAA培训主管会议和学员研讨会上进行了两年一次的基础，以将NIAAA员工与培训主管召集在一起，以增强与NIAAAA的任务和优先事项一致的培训计划的运作，并将NIAAA培训人员与培训董事和NIAAA员工召集在一起，以开发未来的培训和研究机会。这次会议将跨越基础生物学，流行病学和病因，预防，临床和公共卫生研究的领域，并将强调转化方法，以增加酒精研究的创新和公共卫生影响；新见解和合作的机会有可能加快酒精研究领域的科学速度。
