Enhancing Dissemination and Career Development via the APA Annual Convention

描述（由申请人提供）：这是对旅行补助金R13 AA 017107 -06的第二次更新的建议。在过去的六年里，该补助金提供资金，以支持科学传播和早期职业调查员（ECI）的职业发展在美国心理协会（阿帕）的年度会议。心理学家在酒精研究者的科学界和与酒精相关的主题中占据了主要地位。阿帕是美国最大的心理学家及其实习生组织，其年度大会吸引了数千名与会者。特别是，阿帕第50部（成瘾心理学学会）和第28部（精神药理学和药物滥用）有大量的酒精研究人员，其中许多人是NIAAA资助的接受者。该R13赠款与阿帕50部和28部合作，以实现两个目标：1）向心理学界传播最先进的酒精研究。2)促进心理学界下一代酒精研究人员的发展。第一个目标将通过支持50师和28师会议计划中最先进的酒精研究来实现。这将采取为两个专题讨论会的发言者提供旅行支持的形式，这些专题讨论会展示了酒精研究的进步和创新。此外，这些研讨会和其他酒精研究将通过“酒精研究亮点”小册子传达给与会者。第二个目标将通过向出口信贷机构提供20个旅行奖励来实现（即，研究生，博士后研究员和初级教师）和主持ECI海报会议/社交时间。此外，R13将支持每年的赠款撰写和职业发展讲习班。就传播目标和职业发展目标而言，R13将接触妇女和代表性不足的少数群体，以最大限度地实现包容。到目前为止，这项R13赠款在传播酒精研究的进展和培养早期职业酒精研究人员的职业生涯方面非常成功。下一部分的目标是维持这些对外地的贡献，并扩大旅行奖励计划，以支持更多的ECI。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal for a second renewal of travel grant R13AA017107-06. For the last six years, this grant has provided funding to support scientific dissemination and early career investigator (ECI) career development at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association (APA). Psychologists make up a major constituency in the scientific community of alcohol researchers and on topics related to alcohol. The APA is the largest organization of psychologists and their trainees in the US, and its annual convention attracts thousands of attendees. In particular, APA Division 50 (Society for Addiction Psychology) and Division 28 (Psychopharmacology and Substance Abuse) are heavily populated with alcohol researchers, many of whom are recipients of NIAAA funding. This R13 grant partners with APA Division 50 and Division 28 to achieve two goals: 1) To disseminate the state-of-the-art alcohol research to the psychological community. 2) To foster the development of the next generation of alcohol researchers from the psychological community. The first goal will be achieved by supporting state-of-the-art alcohol research within the Division 50 and Division 28 conference programs. This will take the form of travel support for speakers in two symposia that showcase advances and innovations in alcohol research. In addition, these symposia and other alcohol research will be communicated to conference attendees via an "Alcohol Research Highlights" brochure. The second goal will be achieved by providing 20 travel awards to ECIs (i.e., graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty) and hosting an ECI poster session/social hour. In addition, the R13 will support grantwriting and career development workshops each year. For both, the dissemination goal and the career development goal, the R13 will reach out to women and underrepresented minorities to maximize inclusion. To date, this R13 grant has been highly successful in disseminating advances in alcohol research and nurturing the careers of early career alcohol researchers. The goal for the next segment is to sustain these contributions to the field and to expand the travel award program to support a larger number of ECIs.
