ICRS Symposium on the Cannabinoids

描述(由申请人提供)：自2000年5月首次资助这笔赠款以来，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增加了两个数量级，反映了这一领域基础科学的扩展。这些发现在药物滥用和成瘾、代谢障碍、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。国际大麻素研究会关于大麻素的年度研讨会是领先的国际实验室在数据公布之前很早就披露关于大麻素和内源性大麻素生理学和药理学的关键研究结果的唯一综合会议。受训人员和现有研究人员的参与确保了未来的进展。这笔赠款的目的是通过提供旅行奖励、学生介绍奖励和职业发展方案，促进受训人员出席研讨会并留住他们在外地的工作。此外，ICRS还提议每年举办一次有受邀发言者参加的翻译研讨会。专题讨论会摘要存档在ICRS网站上，并作为可引用的文件向公众提供。

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.
