 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In recent years it became clear that scientific study to improve the effectiveness of behavioral treatments for alcohol use disorders had plateaued, and that we knew little about the underlying processes that mobilize behavior change. In an effort to advance the science of behavior change, the NIAAA and an organizing committee comprised of alcohol researchers from across the United States convened annual conferences on mechanisms of behavior change (MOBC) over the past 10 years. The goals of the MOBC conferences have been to provide a forum for emerging MOBC research, to promote state-of-the-art science on behavior change, and to facilitate collaboration among MOBC researchers. To continue this work the current proposal seeks support for a series of 5 annual full-day MOBC conferences that will be held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Research Society on Alcoholism. The aims of the meetings are to foster transdisciplinary collaboration, to identify promising change mechanisms, to formalize a roadmap for future MOBC research, to advance methodology development, and to disseminate MOBC findings that are relevant to clinical practice. This collaborative U13 proposal reflects an ongoing partnership between the MOBC organizing committee and NIAAA program officers. The meetings will entail a combination of plenary talks, expert panel discussions, and presentations based on calls for abstracts. The lunch break will include a poster session and networking activities. Each meeting will conclude with a presentation of recent notable MOBC research and an update from the NIAAA on the state of the field. The meetings in years 1 and 5 will emphasize the linkage of MOBC research to clinical practice. The meetings in years 2 and 3 will focus on theories of behavior change and transdisciplinary research to test these theories. The meeting in year 4 will address methodological advances in MOBC research. The speakers will be leading scientists from diverse fields that cut across addiction research, theories of behavior change, and MOBC methodology. All of the speakers have accepted our invitation to present at a meeting. The conferences will be free of charge to participants and travel awards will be given to junior investigators to encourage their participation in the MOBC research community. Other activities planned over the 5-year period include maintaining the MOBC Conference website (http://casaa.unm.edu/mechanismsofchange), introducing an MOBC research mentor matching program for new and early-stage investigators, publishing a manual on best practices in MOBC research, and providing a clearinghouse on the conference website of MOBC research findings that directly inform clinical practice. Looking to the future the proposed conferences will continue an important collaboration between the academic research community and the NIH. Further, they will provide a critical venue for fostering the development and dissemination of MOBC research.

 描述（由申请人提供）：近年来，很明显，提高酒精使用障碍行为治疗有效性的科学研究已经趋于稳定，我们对动员行为改变的潜在过程知之甚少。为了推动行为改变科学的发展，NIAAA和一个由来自美国各地的酒精研究人员组成的组织委员会在过去10年中召开了关于行为改变机制（MOBC）的年度会议。MOBC会议的目标是为新兴的MOBC研究提供一个论坛，促进最先进的行为改变科学，并促进MOBC研究人员之间的合作。为了继续这项工作，目前的提案寻求支持一系列5个年度全天MOBC会议，将与酗酒研究学会年会一起举行。会议的目的是促进跨学科合作，确定有前途的变革机制，为未来的MOBC研究制定路线图，推进方法学的发展，并传播与临床实践相关的MOBC研究结果。这一合作U13提案反映了MOBC组委会和NIAAA项目官员之间的持续伙伴关系。 会议将包括全体会议、专家小组讨论和根据要求提供摘要的情况介绍。午休时间将包括一个海报会议和网络活动。每次会议结束时，将介绍最近著名的MOBC研究和NIAAA对该领域现状的更新。第1年和第5年的会议将强调MOBC研究与临床实践的联系。第二年和第三年的会议将侧重于行为改变理论和跨学科研究，以测试这些理论。第四年的会议将讨论MOBC研究的方法学进展。演讲者将是来自不同领域的领先科学家，这些领域涉及成瘾研究，行为改变理论和MOBC方法。所有的发言人都接受了我们的邀请，出席会议。这些会议将免费提供给与会者，并将向初级研究人员提供旅行奖励，以鼓励他们参与MOBC研究社区。计划在5年内开展的其他活动包括维护MOBC会议网站（http：//casaa.unm.edu/mechanismsofchange），为新的和早期阶段的研究人员引入MOBC研究导师匹配计划，出版MOBC研究最佳实践手册，并在会议网站上提供MOBC研究成果的信息交换所，直接为临床实践提供信息。 展望未来，拟议的会议将继续学术研究界和NIH之间的重要合作。此外，它们将为促进MOBC研究的发展和传播提供一个重要场所。
