Enhancing Dissemination and Career Development via the APA Annual Convention

描述(申请人提供)：R13AA017107-06是一份第二次续期旅行津贴的建议书。在过去的六年里，这笔赠款为美国心理协会(APA)年度大会上的科学传播和早期职业研究者(ECI)职业发展提供了资金。心理学家在酒精研究人员的科学界和与酒精相关的话题上构成了主要的支持者。美国心理学会是美国最大的心理学家和他们的实习生组织，其年度大会吸引了数千人参加。特别是，APA第50分部(成瘾心理学学会)和第28分部(精神药理学和药物滥用)有大量的酒精研究人员，其中许多人接受了NIAAA的资助。R13与APA 50分部和28分部合作，以实现两个目标：1)向心理学界传播最先进的酒精研究。2)培养来自心理学界的下一代酒精研究人员。第一个目标将通过在50师和28师会议计划中支持最先进的酒精研究来实现。这将采取在两个研讨会上为演讲者提供旅行支持的形式，这两个研讨会展示了酒精研究的进步和创新。此外，这些研讨会和其他酒精研究将通过一本《酒精研究要点》小册子传达给与会者。第二个目标将通过向ECI(即研究生、博士后研究员和初级教员)提供20个旅行奖励并举办ECI海报会议/社交小时来实现。此外，R13将支持每年的赠款和职业发展研讨会。对于传播目标和职业发展目标，R13都将接触妇女和代表性不足的少数群体，以最大限度地融入社会。到目前为止，这笔R13拨款在传播酒精研究方面的进展和培养早期职业酒精研究人员的职业生涯方面取得了非常成功的成就。下一阶段的目标是维持这些对实地的贡献，并扩大旅行奖励方案，以支持更多的ECI。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal for a second renewal of travel grant R13AA017107-06. For the last six years, this grant has provided funding to support scientific dissemination and early career investigator (ECI) career development at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association (APA). Psychologists make up a major constituency in the scientific community of alcohol researchers and on topics related to alcohol. The APA is the largest organization of psychologists and their trainees in the US, and its annual convention attracts thousands of attendees. In particular, APA Division 50 (Society for Addiction Psychology) and Division 28 (Psychopharmacology and Substance Abuse) are heavily populated with alcohol researchers, many of whom are recipients of NIAAA funding. This R13 grant partners with APA Division 50 and Division 28 to achieve two goals: 1) To disseminate the state-of-the-art alcohol research to the psychological community. 2) To foster the development of the next generation of alcohol researchers from the psychological community. The first goal will be achieved by supporting state-of-the-art alcohol research within the Division 50 and Division 28 conference programs. This will take the form of travel support for speakers in two symposia that showcase advances and innovations in alcohol research. In addition, these symposia and other alcohol research will be communicated to conference attendees via an "Alcohol Research Highlights" brochure. The second goal will be achieved by providing 20 travel awards to ECIs (i.e., graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty) and hosting an ECI poster session/social hour. In addition, the R13 will support grantwriting and career development workshops each year. For both, the dissemination goal and the career development goal, the R13 will reach out to women and underrepresented minorities to maximize inclusion. To date, this R13 grant has been highly successful in disseminating advances in alcohol research and nurturing the careers of early career alcohol researchers. The goal for the next segment is to sustain these contributions to the field and to expand the travel award program to support a larger number of ECIs.
