World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics

描述（由申请人提供）：这是世界精神病学遗传学大会（WCPG）会议支持的更新请求。自1993年以来，国际精神遗传学学会（ISPG）每年举办一次会议，并计划在未来五年甚至更长时间内举办年会。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。在上一个资助期间（2008-2012年），该计划资助了41名旅行奖获得者。我们还为WCPG的早期职业研究者计划（ECIP）的发展做出了贡献，该计划包括由NIMH， NIDA和ISPG本身支持的获奖者。我们还确保在每次会议上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。该项目还为其他WCPG酒精遗传学教育和合作会议做出了贡献。通过一个由ECIP支持的报告人项目，年轻的研究人员编写了大会的会议摘要，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.
