CONFERENCE--COLLEGE ON PROBLEMS OF DRUG DEPENDENCE

药物依赖问题学院（CPDD）是致力于药物滥用研究的最古老的常设科学组织。它将于2000年6月17日至6月22日在波多黎各圣胡安的加勒比希尔顿酒店举行第62届年度科学会议。年会的目标是将药物滥用领域的杰出科学家聚集在一起，展示他们的工作并讨论该领域各个方面的最新发现，包括分子生物学、遗传学、药物化学、药理学、行为学、神经免疫学、治疗、预防和流行病学。论文包括所有涉及药物滥用的药物类别的报告，包括阿片类药物、可卡因、甲基苯丙胺、大麻、尼古丁、吸入剂、致幻剂和镇静催眠药。没有任何其他会议涵盖药物滥用领域的广泛研究。为期5天的科学会议将由志愿者口头报告，海报会议和12-16个及时的专题讨论会组成。在药物滥用研究方面，特别注意妇女、青年科学家、学员、学生和代表性不足的人群的需要，计划中的讨论和聚会是会议的重要组成部分。代表药物滥用研究界的所有领域和主题都将取得良好的平衡。为了确保适当的平衡和最新的主题，该领域科学家提交的专题讨论会的最终选择将由CPDD计划委员会在1999年秋季之前做出。通过在我们的网站、我们的Newsline出版物、我们的《药物和酒精依赖》杂志以及在年度会议上的公告中征集所有成员和所有感兴趣的科学家提交专题讨论会的主题。一旦选定了专题讨论会，提交的摘要将分为海报会议和口头会议，以便在药物滥用领域的各个研究方面之间取得平衡。全体会议和颁奖讲座以及几个卫星会议和专业讲习班将完成该计划。正如多年来所做的那样，会议记录将作为NIDA的档案专著出版，并将邮寄给所有会议注册人和所有NIDA受资助者。

The College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD) is the oldest standing scientific organization devoted to research on drug abuse. It will hold its 62nd Annual Scientific Meeting at the Caribe Hilton Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from June 17 through June 22, 2000. The goal of the annual meeting is to bring together the outstanding scientists in the field of drug abuse to present their work and discuss the latest findings in all facets of the field including molecular biology, genetics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, behavior, neuroimmunology, treatment, prevention, and epidemiology. Papers include reports about all drug classes involved in drug abuse including opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabis, nicotine, inhalants, hallucinogens, and sedative-hypnotics. No other meeting covers the breadth of research in the drug abuse field. There will be 5 days of scientific sessions which will be made up of volunteer oral presentations, poster sessions, and 12-16 timely symposia. Special attention is given to the needs of women, young scientists, trainees, students, and underrepresented populations in drug abuse research, and planned discussions and get-togethers are a vital part of the meeting. There will be a good balance of all fields and topics representing the drug abuse research community. To insure a proper balance and up-to-date topics, final choices from the symposia submitted by scientists in the field will not be made by the Program Committee of CPDD until the fall of 1999. Symposia topics are solicited from all members and all interested scientists by calling for submissions on our website, in our Newsline publication, in our journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, and in announcements made at the annual meeting. Once the symposia have been chosen, submitted abstracts will be divided into poster and oral sessions in such a way that that there is a balance among of the various research facets of the drug abuse field. Plenary and award lectures as well as several satellite meetings and specialty workshops will complete the program. As has been done for many years, the Proceedings will be published as an archival NIDA monograph and will be mailed to all meeting registrants and to all NIDA grantees.
