Eleventh Congress: Int. Soc. Biomed. Res. Alcoholism

本申请要求为非美国居民科学家（特邀演讲者和年轻/新研究者）和美国少数族裔科学家参加国际酒精中毒生物医学研究学会（ISBRA）第十一届大会的部分旅费和会议相关费用提供资金。本次会议将于2002年6月28日至7月3日在加州旧金山举行。ISBRA大会现在是酒精研究所有领域唯一的全球科学会议。除了生物医学方面，还包括生物行为和临床研究。ISBRA大会每两年举行一次，自ISBRA成立以来，会议已在德国、美国、芬兰、日本、加拿大、英国等地举行。澳大利亚和丹麦。这将是ISBRA大会第三次在美国举行。这不仅会对北美的酒精研究产生很大的影响，而且还会对欧洲国家、亚太地区国家和澳大利亚的酒精研究产生很大的影响。大会将与美国酒精中毒研究协会（RSA）联合召开会议。该计划将以国际酒精研究界优先感兴趣的主题为特色，并提供讨论合作研究的机会。目前，ISBRA会员中有43%是非美国的。的基础。因此，非美国人出席会议。科学家对会议的成功是绝对必要的；76位受邀演讲者中有41位来自美国以外。本申请要求资助30位受邀演讲者的旅行和注册费，27位年轻/新研究者和6位少数民族学生/年轻研究者的旅行注册费和部分生活费，以及部分支付国会会议记录的出版费用。

This application requests funds for the partial payment of travel and conference-related expenses of non-US resident scientists (invited speakers and young/new investigators) and for U.S. minority scientists to attend the Eleventh Congress of the International Society of Biomedical Research in Alcoholism (ISBRA). This meeting will be held in San Francisco, California on June 28 through July 3, 2002. The ISBRA Congresses are now the only worldwide scientific meetings for all areas of alcohol research. In addition to biomedical aspects, they also cover biobehavioral and clinical research. The ISBRA Congresses are held biannually and, since the founding of ISBRA, meetings have been held in Germany, USA, Finland, Japan, Canada, UK,. Australia, and Denmark. This will be the third time that the ISBRA Congress will be held in the United States. It will have a large impact on alcohol research not only in North America, but also the European countries, as well as Asian and Pacific Rim countries and Australia. The Congress will meet jointly with the US-based Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA). The program will feature topics of priority interest to the international alcohol research community and provide opportunities for discussion of collaborative research. At present, 43% of the ISBRA membership is non-U.S. based. Accordingly, attendance by non-U.S. scientists is absolutely essential for the success of the meeting; 41 of the 76 proposed invited speakers will be from outside of the U.S. This application requests funding for travel and registration fee for 30 invited speakers, travel registration fee and partial living expenses for 27 young/new investigators and 6 minority students/young investigators and partial coverage of publication costs of the Congress proceedings.
