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，是一个由对血清素各个方面的研究感兴趣的生物医学科学家组成的国际协会。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（博士后研究员毕业后不到 3 年））参与国际高质量科学会议， 血清素作为其中心主题。血清素与药物滥用、疼痛、心血管和胃肠功能、神经发育以及包括成瘾在内的许多精神疾病有关。吸引不同观众的不仅包括血清素的神经科学及其影响的神经递质系统，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，以便能够交流其功能的深度，以及重要的是新发现。血清素俱乐部会议的一项新举措是关注并高度重视药物滥用，因为它涉及血清素与其他神经递质系统的相互作用，更重要的是，了解血清素在成瘾疾病中的作用以及如何针对该系统来治疗药物滥用。 2012 年会议的一个主要目标是通过举办与药物滥用直接相关的研讨会来促进这一新举措。重要的是，血清素俱乐部的一个主要目标是提供一个充满活力的论坛，帮助发展该领域年轻研究人员的职业生涯。因此，我们计划邀请 10 名 NIDA 旅行奖获得者作为特邀演讲者，每 10 个已安排的研讨会中就有一名。此外，这些年轻的研究人员将 i) 成为指导计划的一部分，ii) 能够在许多场合（例如海报会议、休息、午餐和晚宴）与高级研究人员（包括该领域的领导者）建立联系； iii) 将他们的工作发表在会议记录中。选择将基于申请人的资历及其摘要与药物滥用和相关疾病的相关性。寻求资金的血清素俱乐部第一次会议将于 2012 年 7 月 10 日至 12 日在法国蒙彼利埃举行。此 R13 申请的主要目的是为这些年轻研究者提供经济支持，使他们能够参加 2012 年血清素俱乐部会议，并支持未来的年轻研究者参加 2014 年和 2016 年的后续会议。
