DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA) Congress is the premier worldwide scientific meeting involving all areas of alcohol research. In addition to biomedical aspects, it also covers bio-behavioral and clinical research. The ISBRA Congresses are held biennially and, since the founding of ISBRA, meetings have been held in Germany, U.S.A., Finland, Japan, Canada, UK, Australia, and Denmark. This will be the second time since 1982 that the ISBRA Congress will be held in Australia. The location of the meeting will provide as attractive opportunity to scientists from the USA to present and discuss their research with international colleagues. The meeting will have a large impact on alcohol research in the US, Australia and New Zealand, as well as in the Asian and Pacific Rim countries. The program will feature topics that are highly relevant to the international alcohol research community and provide opportunities for discussion of existing and new collaborative research. At present, approximately 60% of the ISBRA membership is U.S. based. Accordingly, attendance by U.S. scientists is absolutely essential for the success of the meeting; 40-50% of invited speakers will be from the U.S. This application requests funding for travel and the registration fee for 35 invited speakers; travel, registration fee and partial living expenses for 25 young/new investigators and 5 minority students/young investigators. The application also seeks travel scholarships for 10 investigators from Asian and Pacific Rim countries who will be identified by senior members of alcohol research groups in the individual countries. It is hoped that specific funding will be identified to support the attendance of delegates from these Asian and Pacific Rim countries, where patterns of alcohol consumption are changing and creating serious social and health issues. Partial coverage of publication costs of the Congress program, abstract book and proceedings is also requested. The 13th World Congress of ISBRA will be held September 10-13, 2006.

描述(由申请者提供)：国际酒精中毒生物医学研究协会(ISBRA)大会是涉及酒精研究所有领域的首屈一指的全球科学会议。除了生物医学方面，它还包括生物行为和临床研究。ISBRA大会每两年举行一次，自ISBRA成立以来，已在德国、美国、芬兰、日本、加拿大、英国、澳大利亚和丹麦举行了会议。这将是ISBRA大会自1982年以来第二次在澳大利亚举行。会议的地点将为来自美国的科学家提供一个有吸引力的机会，介绍他们的研究并与国际同行讨论。这次会议将对美国、澳大利亚的酒精研究产生很大影响 和新西兰，以及亚洲和太平洋沿岸国家。 该计划将以与国际酒精研究社区高度相关的主题为特色，并提供讨论现有和新的合作研究的机会。目前，ISBRA大约60%的成员是美国人。因此，美国科学家的出席对会议的成功是绝对必要的；40%-50%的受邀演讲者将来自美国。此申请要求提供旅费和35名受邀演讲者的注册费；25名年轻/新调查人员和5名少数族裔学生/年轻调查人员的旅费、注册费和部分生活费。 该申请还为来自亚洲和太平洋周边国家的10名调查人员寻求旅行奖学金，这些人将被个别国家酒精研究小组的高级成员识别。希望将确定具体的资金，以支持来自这些亚洲和太平洋周边国家的代表出席会议，这些国家的酒精消费模式正在发生变化，并造成严重的社会和健康问题。还要求支付国会计划、摘要书籍和议事程序的部分出版费用。ISBRA第十三届世界大会将于2006年9月10日至13日举行。
