DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA) Annual Meeting is the premier scientific meeting involving all areas of alcohol research. In addition to biomedical aspects, it also covers medical/clinical, and psychosocial research. The RSA meeting is held annually, and previous meetings (33) have been held mostly in the continental US, although some meetings have also been held in Hawaii and Canada (Vancouver, Montreal). For the 34th meeting in 2011, the meeting will be held in Atlanta, Georgia (June 25-29, 2011). The 35th meeting in 2012 will be in San Francisco, CA. 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 2011 and 2012 meetings. Since RSA is a stable, established organization with annual meetings, this application is for 5 years of funding. Planning for the next two meetings is well underway, but we expect similar planning for years 3-5 of this application to begin soon. This application requests funds to offset expenses for young scientists (predoctoral and new investigators 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. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Alcohol abuse is a major public health problem in most parts of the world including the United States. This request is for funding to allow young scientists to attend the 34th through 38th Annual Meeting of the Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA). The 2011 will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, and the 2012 meeting will be in San Francisco, California. Planning for the 36th-38th meetings will begin later in 2011. The RSA annual meeting is the premier scientific conference on all aspects of alcohol abuse and addiction including biomedical, psychosocial, and medical/clinical research presentations. The meeting outcome will greatly advance the treatment, prevention, and understanding of alcoholism in the U.S. and throughout the world.

描述（由申请人提供）：酒精中毒研究协会（RSA）年会是涉及所有酒精研究领域的首要科学会议。除了生物医学方面，它还涵盖医学/临床和社会心理研究。 RSA会议每年举行，以前的会议（33）主要在美国大陆举行，尽管在夏威夷和加拿大（蒙特利尔温哥华）也举行了一些会议。在2011年第34届会议上，该会议将在佐治亚州亚特兰大举行（2011年6月25日至29日）。 2012年的第35次会议将在加利福尼亚州旧金山举行。这些会议的位置将为来自美国各地的科学家以及世界各地的其他人提供诱人的机会，以介绍和讨论他们的研究。会议将对美国的酒精研究产生很大的影响，研究演讲和讨论的结果将推进这一领域。每个会议的计划将以与酒精研究界高度相关的主题，并为讨论现有和新的合作研究提供机会。研究演讲将以RSA成员资格提出的研讨会，圆桌会议和讲习班的形式。 RSA计划委员会将选择具有最高科学功绩和创新的建议。此外，还将举行许多海报会议。 RSA通过强调他们的工作以及提供专业发展活动，努力招募和保留该领域的新调查人员，这将继续参加2011年和2012年的会议。由于RSA是一个稳定的，成熟的组织，并举行年度会议，因此该申请额为5年的资金。计划接下来的两次会议的计划正在进行中，但是我们希望对本申请的3 - 5年的类似计划即将开始。该申请要求资金抵消年轻科学家（在终端学位后4年内和新调查人员）的费用，以参加这些重要的会议。要求资金支付旅行和注册费。将努力专门针对代表性不足的群体。还要求一些行政费用。该赠款的具体目的是为学生和年轻调查人员提供旅行和注册援助，以参加年度RSA会议。总体目标是向那些有兴趣更多有关酒精领域研究的人提供信息，并有可能将酒精研究作为职业。 公共卫生相关性：酗酒是包括美国在内的世界大多数地区的主要公共卫生问题。这项要求是为了让年轻科学家参加酒精中毒研究学会（RSA）的第34至第38届年会。 2011年将在佐治亚州亚特兰大举行，2012年会议将在加利福尼亚州旧金山举行。第36-38届会议的计划将于2011年晚些时候开始。RSA年度会议是关于酗酒和成瘾的各个方面的首要科学会议，包括生物医学，心理社会和医学/临床研究演讲。会议结果将大大提高美国及其全世界酒精中毒的待遇，预防和理解。
