Society for Prevention Research Annual Meetings, 2012-2016

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请申请R13资金，用于支持预防研究学会年会（SPR）以及与年会密切相关的活动，为期五年（2012-2016）。特别方案资源于1991年设立，其目标是在身心健康和社会福利的所有方面改进预防科学，而不是在单一的卫生领域。这一目标及其潜在利益反映在700多名特别战略资源成员的研究中。这项研究主要侧重于流行病学、病因学和预防各种不良后果，包括使用毒品、酒精、烟草和其他物质、艾滋病毒/艾滋病和性传播疾病、暴力和肥胖。此外，会员的研究重点是促进健康成果，包括与孕产妇、婴儿和儿童健康、心理健康、社会/情感发展和学业成就有关的问题。战略资源中心成员进行并在年会上提交的研究与《2020年健康人》概述的目标和战略高度相关；国立卫生研究院传播与实施研究培训研究所；国家儿童肥胖研究合作组织；以及2011财年跨NIH艾滋病相关研究计划。例如，关于概述的艾滋病毒/艾滋病具体目标，介绍包括以下相关研究：1)通过减少与艾滋病毒相关的风险行为和增加保护行为来预防艾滋病毒传播和感染的行为、社会、环境和经济干预措施的实证发展、评估和推广，包括实施研究；2)研究影响hiv相关风险和保护因素的决定因素、过程和文化背景问题；3)提高艾滋病研究的行为科学和社会科学方法论的质量。当前应用的具体目标以预防科学领域的进展、以前的年度会议、特别方案资源委员会和工作组的工作以及特别方案资源的五年战略规划进程为基础。这些具体目标是：(1)利用年会进一步发展一个集中整合的科学论坛，以交流预防研究和相关公共卫生领域的新概念、新方法和新成果；(2)通过汇集来自多个学科和实质性领域的研究人员，推进药物滥用和艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防科学，确保来自NIH各研究所的新知识、前沿方法和创新融入NIDA和艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究人员的研究组合；(3)通过测绘预防科学进展（MAPS）工作队产生、促进和支持预防科学创新；(4)利用年会通过培训、职业生涯建设和领导力发展来支持下一代预防科学家的发展；(5)扩大年会以及特别战略资源委员会和MAPS特别工作组的工作所产生的科学发展的影响范围、效益和影响，从而确保年会上出现的前沿科学发展被广泛传播给更多、更多样化的受众。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests R13 funding to support the Annual Meeting of the Society for Prevention Research (SPR), and activities closely related to the Annual Meeting, for five years (2012-2016). The SPR was established in 1991 with the goal of improving the science of prevention, not within a single health domain, but within all aspects of physical and mental health and social well-being. This goal and its potential benefits are reflected in the research of the more than 700 members of SPR. This research focuses largely on epidemiology, etiology and prevention of a variety of negative outcomes including the use of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and other substances, HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted disease, violence, and obesity. In addition, members' research focuses on the promotion of healthy outcomes, including issues related to maternal, infant, and child health, mental health, social/emotional development, and academic achievement. The research conducted by SPR members and presented at the Annual Meeting is highly relevant to objectives and strategies outlined in Healthy People 2020; NIH Training Institute on Dissemination and Implementation Research; the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research; and the FY2011 Trans- NIH Plan for HIV-Related Research. For example, with regard to the HIV/AIDS specific objectives outlined, presentations include research related to: 1) the empirical development, evaluation, and diffusion of behavioral, social, environmental and economic interventions to prevent HIV transmission and acquisition by reducing HIV-related risk behaviors and increasing protective behaviors, including implementation research; 2) study of the determinants, processes, and cultural contextual issues influencing HIV-related risk and protective factors; and 3) improvement of the quality of behavioral and social science methodology in HIV research. The Specific Aims of the current application build on the progress in the field of prevention science, prior annual meetings, work of SPR committees and workgroups and on the SPR's five-year strategic planning process. These specific aims are: (1) to use the Annual Meeting to develop further a centrally integrated scientific forum for the exchange of new concepts, methods, and results from prevention research and related public health fields; (2) to advance the science of drug abuse and HIV/AIDS prevention by bringing together researchers from multiple disciplines and substantive areas to ensure that new knowledge, cutting-edge methods and innovation from across the NIH institutes are integrated into the research portfolios of NIDA and HIV/AIDS researchers; (3) to generate, promote, and support innovation in prevention science through Mapping Advances in Prevention Science (MAPS) Task Forces; (4) to use the Annual Meeting to support the development of the next generation of prevention scientists through training, career building, and leadership development; (5) to enhance the reach, benefits, and impact of the scientific developments emanating from the Annual Meetings and from the work of the SPR committees and MAPS Task Forces, and thereby to ensure that the cutting-edge scientific developments that emerge at the Annual Meeting are widely disseminated to a larger and more varied audience.
