Conference-College on Problems of Drug Dependence

描述(由申请者提供)：药物依赖问题学院(CPDD)是致力于药物滥用研究的最古老的常设科学组织。它将于2005年6月18日至6月23日在佛罗里达州奥兰多的温德姆宫酒店举行第67届年度科学会议。2006-2009年间，会议将分别在魁北克斯科茨代尔、圣胡安和奥兰多举行。会议的目的是将药物滥用领域的杰出科学家聚集在一起，介绍他们的工作，并讨论该领域各个方面的最新发现，包括分子生物学、遗传学、药物化学、药理学、行为学、神经免疫学、治疗、预防和流行病学。文件包括涉及药物滥用的所有药物类别的报告，包括阿片类药物、可卡因、甲基苯丙胺、大麻素、尼古丁、吸入剂、酒精、镇静催眠药、迷幻剂和俱乐部药物。没有其他会议涵盖毒品滥用领域的广泛研究。在国家发改委会议之前或之后立即举行了几次卫星会议。为期5天的科学会议由志愿者口头陈述、海报会议、15-18个座谈会和8-12个研讨会组成。在规划该计划时，特别关注妇女、青年科学家、实习生、学生和在药物滥用研究中代表性不足的人群的需求。代表药物滥用研究界的所有领域和主题都将得到很好的平衡。由该领域的科学家提交的专题讨论会的最终选择直到会议前一年秋天才由CPDD方案委员会作出。研讨会向所有成员和所有感兴趣的科学家征集意见，方法是在我们的网站、我们的时事出版物、我们的杂志《药物和酒精依赖》上征集意见，并通过邮件、电子邮件和在年度会议上发布的公告征求意见。提交的摘要被审查并分为海报和口头会议，以确保与所选的代表药物滥用和成瘾领域不同研究方面的研讨会保持平衡。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD) is the oldest standing scientific organization devoted to research on drug abuse. It will hold its 67th Annual Scientific Meeting at the Wyndham Palace Hotel in Orlando, Florida, from June 18 through June 23, 2005. For years 2006-2009, meetings will be in Scottsdale, Quebec, San Juan, and Orlando, respectively. The goal of the meeting is to bring together the outstanding scientists in the field of drug abuse to present their work and discuss the latest findings in all facets of the field including molecular biology, genetics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, behavior, neuroimmunology, treatment, prevention, and epidemiology. Papers include reports about all drug classes involved in drug abuse including opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabinoids, nicotine, inhalants, alcohol, sedative-hypnotics, hallucinogens, and club drugs. No other meeting covers the breadth of research in the drug abuse field. Several satellite meetings are held immediately before or after the CPDD meeting. There are 5 days of scientific sessions made up of volunteer oral presentations, poster sessions, 15-18 symposia, and 8-12 workshops. Special attention is given to the needs of women, young scientists, trainees, students, and underrepresented populations in drug abuse research in planning the program. There will be a good balance of all fields and topics representing the drug abuse research community. Final choices from the symposia submitted by scientists in the field are not made by the Program Committee of CPDD until the fall preceding the meeting. Symposia are solicited from all members and all interested scientists by calling for submissions on our Web site, in our Newsline publication, in our journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, and in announcements sent by mail, e-mail and made at the annual meeting. Submitted abstracts are reviewed and divided into poster and oral sessions to insure a balance with the chosen symposia representative of the various research facets of the drug abuse and addiction field.
