项目摘要

On behalf of the Summer Neuropeptide Conference, request is being made from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to support several competitive student travel awards to the 2002 Summer Neuropeptide Conference to be held June 29-July 3, 2002 at Marco Island, Florida. Specifically, we are requesting funds in the amount of $4,750 to help defray meeting expenses of several graduate student and postdoctoral trainees who will participate in the conference and interact with established leaders in fields related to the mission of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The title of the NIDA-related symposium at the meeting is "Neuropeptides and Drug Addition", and includes investigators whose research is currently funded by NIDA. This symposium is designed to present the latest state-of-the-art research on the role of neuropeptides in mechanisms of drug addiction and withdrawal. This will be an invaluable opportunity to expose student and junior neuroscience researchers to senior scientists actively engaged in NIDA-related research. The Summer Neuropeptide Conference, now in its twelfth year, has become one of the premier international meetings for neuropeptide research. The conference highlights major new advances in neuropeptide research and attracts a good mixture of senior and junior participants from academia and industry from throughout the world. A significant focus of recent meetings is to include sessions related to peptides and drug abuse, and this has been done again for the 2002 conference. Active participation by graduate and postdoctoral trainees, as well as by women and minority scientists, is strongly encouraged. The format of the conference involves morning and evening symposia, a poster session, a conference banquet, and a plenary lecture by a distinguished scientist. This format, coupled with the informal setting, provides an ideal forum for the exchange of current information and the development of new collaborations among the participants.

代表夏季神经肽会议，由美国国家药物滥用研究所（National Institute of National Prud Instute）提出，以支持2002年2002年6月29日至7月3日在佛罗里达州马可岛举行的2002年夏季神经肽会议的竞争性学生旅行奖。具体来说，我们要求提供4,750美元的资金，以帮助支付几位研究生和博士后学员的费用，他们将参加会议，并与与美国国家药物滥用研究所有关的领域的既定领导人进行互动。会议上与NIDA相关的研讨会的标题是“神经肽和药物添加”，其中包括研究人员的研究目前由NIDA资助。该研讨会旨在介绍有关神经肽在药物成瘾和戒断机制中作用的最新最新研究。这将是将学生和初级神经科学研究人员暴露给积极从事NIDA相关研究的高级科学家的宝贵机会。夏季神经肽会议（现在已经是第十二年）已成为神经肽研究的主要国际会议之一。该会议重点介绍了神经肽研究的重大新进展，并吸引了来自世界各地学术界和工业的高级和初级参与者的良好混合。最近的会议的重点是包括与肽和滥用毒品有关的会议，这在2002年会议上再次进行。强烈鼓励研究生和博士后学员以及妇女和少数族裔科学家的积极参与。会议的格式涉及早晨和晚上的研讨会，海报会议，会议宴会以及杰出科学家的全体演讲。这种格式，再加上非正式环境，为交换当前信息和参与者之间新合作的发展提供了理想的论坛。
