Conference-College on Problems of Drug Dependence

描述（由申请人提供）：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2005年6月18日至23日在佛罗里达州奥兰多的温德姆宫酒店举行第67届年度科学会议。2006-2009年，会议将分别在斯科茨代尔、魁北克、圣胡安和奥兰多举行。会议的目标是汇集药物滥用领域的杰出科学家，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、大麻素、尼古丁、吸入剂、酒精、镇静催眠药、致幻剂和俱乐部毒品。没有任何其他会议涵盖药物滥用领域的广泛研究。几次附属会议紧接CPDD会议之前或之后举行。为期5天的科学会议由志愿者口头报告、海报会议、15-18场专题讨论会和8-12场研讨会组成。在规划方案时，特别注意妇女、青年科学家、受训人员、学生和在药物滥用研究方面代表性不足的人口的需要。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。该领域的科学家提交的专题讨论会的最终选择直到会议之前的秋天才由CPDD的计划委员会做出。我们通过在我们的网站、我们的Newsline出版物、我们的《药物和酒精依赖》杂志、通过邮件、电子邮件发送的公告以及在年会上发布的公告，向所有成员和所有感兴趣的科学家征集意见。提交的摘要将被审查并分为海报和口头会议，以确保与选定的代表药物滥用和成瘾领域各个研究方面的专题讨论会保持平衡。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD) is the oldest standing scientific organization devoted to research on drug abuse. It will hold its 67th Annual Scientific Meeting at the Wyndham Palace Hotel in Orlando, Florida, from June 18 through June 23, 2005. For years 2006-2009, meetings will be in Scottsdale, Quebec, San Juan, and Orlando, respectively. The goal of the 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, cannabinoids, nicotine, inhalants, alcohol, sedative-hypnotics, hallucinogens, and club drugs. No other meeting covers the breadth of research in the drug abuse field. Several satellite meetings are held immediately before or after the CPDD meeting. There are 5 days of scientific sessions made up of volunteer oral presentations, poster sessions, 15-18 symposia, and 8-12 workshops. Special attention is given to the needs of women, young scientists, trainees, students, and underrepresented populations in drug abuse research in planning the program. There will be a good balance of all fields and topics representing the drug abuse research community. Final choices from the symposia submitted by scientists in the field are not made by the Program Committee of CPDD until the fall preceding the meeting. Symposia are solicited from all members and all interested scientists by calling for submissions on our Web site, in our Newsline publication, in our journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, and in announcements sent by mail, e-mail and made at the annual meeting. Submitted abstracts are reviewed and divided into poster and oral sessions to insure a balance with the chosen symposia representative of the various research facets of the drug abuse and addiction field.
