SUPPORT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING FOR THE RESEARCH SOCIETY ON ALCOHOLISM (RSA)

摘要 酒精中毒研究会(RSA)年会是最重要的年度科学会议 涉及酒精研究的所有领域。除了生物学/临床前方面，它还包括 医学/临床和心理社会研究。RSA会议每年举行一次，之前 会议(42)主要在美国大陆举行，尽管也有一些会议 在夏威夷和加拿大(温哥华、蒙特利尔)举行。RSA原计划举行第43次会议 2020年在洛杉矶新奥尔良(2020年6月20日至24日)。然而，这次会议不得不取消，因为 新冠肺炎大流行。第44次会议将于2021年在德克萨斯州的圣安东尼奥举行。另外，请注意 这次会议计划作为RSA和国际社会之间的联合会议 酒精中毒的生物医学研究。这些会议的地点将提供一个有吸引力的 来自美国各地的科学家和世界各地的其他科学家有机会介绍和 讨论他们的研究。这些会议将对美国的酒精研究产生很大影响， 研究报告和讨论的结果将推动这一领域的发展。每种产品的程序 会议将以与酒精研究社区高度相关的主题为特色，并提供 讨论现有的和新的合作研究的机会。研究报告 将以研讨会、圆桌会议和研讨会的形式由成员提出 RSA的。RSA计划委员会将选出具有最高科学价值和 创新。此外，还将举行多次海报宣传会。RSA已努力招募 并通过突出他们的工作以及提供专业的 发展活动，这将在2021年和2022-2025年会议上继续。由于RSA是 稳定、成熟的组织，有年度会议，这项申请为期5年 (支持2021-2025年会议)。接下来的三次会议的规划工作正在进行中，但我们 预计本申请的第4-5年也将开始类似的计划。此应用程序专门针对 申请资金以抵消年轻科学家的费用(博士前和博士后实习生在4 几年的终生学位)参加这些重要会议。请拨经费用于旅行和 注册费。将作出努力，专门针对代表性不足的群体。一些人 还要求支付行政费用。这笔赠款的具体目的是提供旅行和 为参加年度RSA会议的学生和年轻调查人员提供注册援助。这个 总体目标是向有兴趣了解更多信息的个人提供信息 目前在酒精领域的研究，有可能从事酒精研究作为职业。

ABSTRACT The Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA) Annual Meeting is the premier annual scientific meeting involving all areas of alcohol research. In addition to biological/preclinical aspects, it also covers medical/clinical, and psychosocial research. The RSA meeting is held annually, and previous meetings (42) have been held mostly in the continental US, although some meetings have also been held in Hawaii and Canada (Vancouver, Montreal). RSA had been planning to hold the 43rd meeting in 2020 in New Orleans, LA (June 20-24, 2020). However, this meeting had to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The 44th meeting in 2021 will be in San Antonio, TX. Also, please note that this meeting is being planned as a joint meeting between RSA and the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism. The location of these meetings will provide an attractive opportunity for scientists from around the U.S.A. along with others around the world to present and discuss their research. The meetings will have a large impact on alcohol research in the U.S., and the outcome of the research presentations and discussion will advance the field. The program for each meeting will feature topics that are highly relevant to the alcohol research community and provide opportunities for discussion of existing and new collaborative research. The research presentations will be in the form of symposia, roundtables, and workshops that will be proposed by the membership of RSA. The RSA Program Committee will select the proposals with the highest scientific merit and innovation. In addition, numerous poster sessions will be held. The RSA has made an effort to recruit and retain new investigators in the field by highlighting their work as well as providing professional development activities, and this will continue for the 2021 and 2022-2025 meetings. Since RSA is a stable, established organization with annual meetings, this application is for 5 years of funding (support for the 2021-2025 meetings). Planning for the next three meetings is well underway, but we expect similar planning for years 4-5 of this application to begin soon. This application specifically requests funds to offset expenses for young scientists (predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees within 4 years of their terminal degree) to attend these important meetings. Funds are requested for travel and registration fees. An effort will be made to specifically target underrepresented groups. Some administrative costs are also requested. The specific aim of this grant is to provide travel and registration assistance for students and young investigators to attend the annual RSA meeting. The overall goal is to provide information to those individuals who are interested in learning more about current research in the alcohol field with the possibility of pursuing alcohol research as a career.
