14th Congress of ISBRA

国际酒精中毒生物医学研究学会（ISBRA）大会是首屈一指的 涉及酒精研究所有领域的世界性科学会议。除了生物医学方面， 涵盖生物行为和临床研究。ISBRA大会自成立以来每两年举行一次 ISBRA在德国、美国、芬兰、日本、加拿大、英国、澳大利亚和 丹麦。 在2008年的第14届大会上，ISBRA将与美国酗酒研究协会举行会议 (RSA)在华盛顿这将是ISBRA第五次在北美举行会议，也是第三次联合 这两个社会的相遇。会议的地点将提供一个有吸引力的机会， 来自世界各地的科学家来到美国展示和讨论他们的研究。会议 将对许多国家的酒精研究产生重大影响，包括那些酒精含量高的国家。 研究项目。该计划将以与国际酒精高度相关的主题为特色 研究社区，并提供讨论现有和新的合作研究的机会。在 目前，大约60%的ISBRA成员来自美国。 这份申请要求提供资金，以抵消外国科学家参加这一重要会议的费用。 ISBRA。请拨经费用于旅费、注册费和研究人员的部分生活费。 在新的或正在发展酒精研究项目的国家（如台湾，泰国，中国，美国，韩国， 俄罗斯）。其他资金将针对来自外国的年轻科学家，他们的职位 出席会议的费用将高得令人望而却步。此外，还要求为美国提供资金。 科学家出席会议，这些将专门针对代表性不足的群体。部分 还要求支付大会计划、摘要书籍和会议记录的出版费用。酗酒是一个国际问题，也是世界大多数地区的一个主要公共卫生问题。这 要求提供资金，允许来自新的或正在开发酒精研究项目的国家的科学家 和年轻的外国调查人员没有可用的资金参加第14届大会的国际 酒精中毒生物医学研究学会（ISBRA）ISBRA大会将于今年在 华盛顿特区是世界范围内生物医学和心理社会科学会议的首要论坛 酒精滥用和成瘾方面。

The International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA) Congress is the premier worldwide scientific meeting involving all areas of alcohol research. In addition to biomedical aspects, it also covers bio-behavioral and clinical research. The ISBRA Congress is held biennially and since the founding of ISBRA, meetings have been held in Germany, U.S.A., Finland, Japan, Canada, U.K., Australia, and Denmark. For the 14th Congress in 2008, ISBRA will be meeting with the U.S. based Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA) in Washington, DC. This will be the fifth time that ISBRA has met in North America and the third joint meeting of these two societies. The location of the meeting will provide an attractive opportunity for scientists from around the world to come to the U.S.A. to present and discuss their research. The meeting will have a large impact on alcohol research in many countries, including those with significant alcohol research programs. The program will feature topics that are highly relevant to the international alcohol research community and provide opportunities for discussion of existing and new collaborative research. At present, approximately 60% of the ISBRA membership is U.S. based. This application requests funds to offset expenses for foreign scientists to attend this important meeting of ISBRA. Funds are requested for travel, registration fees and partial living expenses for researchers residing in countries with new or developing alcohol research programs (e.g. Taiwan, Thailand, China, S. Korea, Russia). Other funds will be targeted to young scientists from foreign countries in positions where their attendance at the meeting would be prohibitively expensive. In addition, funds are requested for U.S. scientists to attend the meeting and these will be specifically targeted to underrepresented groups. Partial coverage of publication costs of the Congress program, abstract book and proceedings is also requested. Alcohol abuse is an international problem and a major public health problem in most parts of the world. This request is for funding to allow scientists from countries with new or developing alcohol research programs and young foreign investigators without available funds to attend the 14th Congress of the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA). The ISBRA congress to be held this year in Washington D.C. is the premier world-wide scientific conference forum on biomedical and psychosocial aspects of alcohol abuse and addiction.
