World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个会议支持世界精神病学遗传学大会（WCPG）的更新请求。自1993年以来，国际精神病遗传学学会每年都举办这一大会，并计划在今后五年及以后举行年会。它是研究影响精神疾病的遗传因素的最负盛名的国际论坛。在上一个赠款期间（2008-2012年），该方案支助了41名旅行获奖者。我们还为WCPG的早期职业调查员计划（ECIP）的发展做出了贡献，其中包括由NIMH，NIDA和ISPG本身支持的获奖者。我们还确保每次会议至少有一名全体发言人讨论酒精使用和酒精使用障碍的遗传学问题。该计划还有助于其他WCPG酒精遗传学教育和合作会议。通过ECIP支持的特别报告员计划，年轻的研究人员编写了大会会议的摘要，并每年在《精神病学遗传学》或《神经精神病学遗传学》杂志上发表。每年有来自世界各地的700-1000名科学家参加会议。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a renewal request for Conference Support for the World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics (WCPG). This Congress has been organized annually by the International Society of Psychiatric Genetics (ISPG) since 1993, and annual meetings are being planned for the next five years and beyond. It is the most prestigious international forum for research in genetic factors affecting psychiatric conditions. During the last grant period (2008-2012) this program supported 41 Travel Awardees. We have also contributed to the development of an Early Career Investigator Program (ECIP) at the WCPG, which includes awardees supported by NIMH, NIDA, and by the ISPG itself. We have also ensured that at least one plenary speaker at each conference addresses the genetics of alcohol use and alcohol use disorders. This program has also contributed to other WCPG alcohol genetics educational and collaborative sessions. Through a rapporteur program supported by the ECIP, summaries of the Congress sessions have been prepared by young investigators and published each year in the journal Psychiatric Genetics or Neuropsychiatric Genetics. From 700-1000 scientists from around the world attend the meeting each year.
