ICRS Symposium on the Cannabinoids

描述（由申请人提供）：自2000年5月首次资助该赠款以来，PubMed引用的关于大麻素和内源性大麻素生理学和药理学的研究文献已经扩大了两个数量级，反映了该领域基础科学的扩展。这些发现在药物滥用和成瘾、代谢紊乱、精神健康和神经退行性疾病以及身体其他器官系统的病理学方面具有潜在的临床应用。国际大麻素研究学会（ICRS）的年度大麻素专题讨论会是唯一的综合性会议，领先的国际实验室在数据出版之前披露了关于大麻素和内源性大麻素生理学和药理学的重要研究结果。受训人员和资深研究人员的参与确保了今后的进展。该补助金的目标是通过提供旅行奖励、学生介绍奖励和职业发展计划，促进受训人员参加研讨会并留在该领域。此外，ICRS还提议举办一次邀请演讲者的年度翻译研讨会。研讨会摘要存档在ICRS网站上，并作为可供公众引用的文件。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since initial funding of this grant in May 2000, research literature cited by PubMed on cannabinoid and endocannabinoid physiology and pharmacology has expanded by two orders of magnitude, reflecting the expansion of basic science in this field. Findings have potential clinical applications in drug abuse and addictions, metabolic disorders, mental health and neurodegenerative diseases, and pathologies in other organ systems of the body. The International Cannabinoid Research Society's (ICRS) annual Symposia on the Cannabinoids is the single comprehensive meeting in which leading international laboratories disclose critical research findings on cannabinoid and endocannabinoid physiology and pharmacology well in advance of publication of the data. Participation of trainees as well as established research investigators ensures future progress. The goal of this grant is to facilitate trainee attendance at the symposia and their retention in the field by providing travel awards, student presentation awards and career development programs. In addition, the ICRS proposes to host an annual translational symposium with invited speakers. Symposia abstracts are archived on the ICRS website and as a citable document available to the public.
