DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Serotonin Club, founded in 1987, is an international association for biomedical scientists who are interested in research on any aspect of serotonin. An important objective of the Club is to facilitate the involvement of young investigators, comprising students, post-doctoral fellows and junior researchers (less than 3 years past their post-doctoral fellowship) in an international high-quality scientific meeting with serotonin as its central theme. Serotonin has been implicated in substance abuse, pain, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal function, neural development as well as a host of psychiatric diseases, including addiction. A diverse audience is attracted by including not only the neuroscience of serotonin, and the neurotransmitter systems on which it impinges, but also the role of serotonin in peripheral function. Thus, our goal is to bring together researchers with a common interest in serotonin such that the depth of its functions, and importantly, new discoveries, can be communicated. A new initiative of the Serotonin Club Meetings is to provide a focus and build a strong emphasis on substance abuse, as it relates to serotonin's interactions with other neurotransmitter systems, and importantly, to understand serotonin's role in the disease of addiction and how this system can be targeted for the treatment of substance abuse. A key goal of the 2012 meeting will be to foster this new initiative by inclusion of symposia directly related to substance abuse. Importantly, a major goal of the Serotonin Club is to provide a dynamic forum to help develop the careers of young investigators in the field. As such, we plan to include ten recipients of NIDA Travel Awards as featured speakers, one in each of ten programmed symposia. In addition these young investigators will i) be part of a mentoring program, ii) be able to network with senior researchers, including leaders in the field, at many occasion (e.g. poster sessions, breaks, lunches, and dinner banquet); and iii) have their work published in the conference proceedings. Selection will be based on the applicant's credentials and on the relevance of their abstract to drug abuse and related disorders. The first meeting of the Serotonin Club for which funds are sought will be held July 10-12, 2012 in Montpellier, France. The primary aim of this R13 application is to provide financial support to these young investigators to enable them to attend and participate in the 2012 Serotonin Club Meeting as well as to support future young investigators to attend subsequent meetings in 2014 and 2016.

描述（由申请人提供）：血清素俱乐部，成立于1987年，是一个国际协会的生物医学科学家谁有兴趣在研究的任何方面的血清素。该俱乐部的一个重要目标是促进年轻研究人员，包括学生、博士后研究员和初级研究人员（博士后研究不到3年）参与国际高质量科学会议， 血清素是它的中心主题血清素与药物滥用、疼痛、心血管和胃肠道功能、神经发育以及许多精神疾病（包括成瘾）有关。吸引不同观众的不仅包括血清素的神经科学，以及它所影响的神经递质系统，而且还包括血清素在外周功能中的作用。因此，我们的目标是将对血清素有共同兴趣的研究人员聚集在一起，以便交流其功能的深度，以及重要的新发现。5-羟色胺俱乐部会议的一项新倡议是提供一个重点，并建立一个强烈强调药物滥用，因为它涉及5-羟色胺与其他神经递质系统的相互作用，重要的是，了解5-羟色胺在成瘾疾病中的作用，以及如何将该系统作为药物滥用治疗的目标。2012年会议的一个关键目标将是通过纳入与药物滥用直接相关的专题讨论会来促进这一新举措。重要的是，5-羟色胺俱乐部的一个主要目标是提供一个充满活力的论坛，以帮助发展该领域的年轻研究人员的职业生涯。因此，我们计划包括十个NIDA旅游奖的获奖者作为特邀演讲者，十个计划研讨会中的每一个。此外，这些年轻的研究人员将i）成为指导计划的一部分，ii）能够与高级研究人员，包括该领域的领导者，在许多场合（例如海报会议，休息，午餐和晚宴）建立网络; iii）在会议记录中发表他们的工作。将根据申请人的资历及其摘要与药物滥用和有关疾病的相关性进行选择。寻求资金的血清素俱乐部的第一次会议将于2012年7月10日至12日在法国蒙彼利埃举行。这项R13申请的主要目的是为这些年轻的研究人员提供财政支持，使他们能够出席和参加2012年5-羟色胺俱乐部会议，并支持未来的年轻研究人员参加2014年和2016年的后续会议。
