Congresses of the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism

项目总结/摘要 酗酒和酗酒是地球仪的一个严重公共卫生问题。事实上，酒精是 目前是全球疾病负担的第三高风险因素，其不良影响不影响 不仅是饮酒者，还有他们的家人、雇主和社区。鉴于公共卫生成本巨大， 酒精使用和滥用，国际酒精研究人员之间的科学交流对于解决 这一领域的重要问题，并为公共政策提供信息。国际生物医学研究学会 酒精中毒（ISBRA）大会为来自世界各地的酒精研究人员提供了一个重要的场所 分享科学发现，讨论和辩论该领域的问题，并进行互动和形成科学的 合作。作为致力于酒精研究的首要国际科学会议，本届大会 汇集了一系列基础和临床科学家，研究生物医学，心理社会和临床 酒精使用、滥用和成瘾方面。大会期间进行的科学交流是 对世界各地已建立和正在发展的研究项目都是非常宝贵的。 ISBRA大会每两年举行一次，会议地点在亚洲/澳大利亚、欧洲、 和美洲。这笔赠款要求提供资金，以支持前往第19届和第20届ISBRA大会。的 第19届大会将于2018年9月在日本京都举行，第20届大会将于2020年6月举行 在美国路易斯安那州新奥尔良市与酗酒研究协会（RSA）举行的联合会议上。此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 正在请求支持ISBRA成员参加ISBRA附属协会的会议，如 欧洲酒精中毒生物医学研究学会（ESBRA）和亚太酒精中毒生物医学研究学会（Asian Pacific Society on Alcoholism） 酒精和成瘾研究（APSAAR），每两年举行一次会议，每年与ISBRA大会相反。 该补助金要求部分旅行，住宿和注册支持科学家参加这些重要的 国会。特别是，这笔赠款旨在为初级调查员和个人提供支持， 代表性不足的群体和国家。这种支持将培养青年科学家骨干， 进入该领域的领导人，并协助调查人员谁否则可能无法参加大会。 还要求对大会出版费用提供部分支持，以便科学摘要和摘要能够 向更大的研究社区和公众传达。

Project Summary/Abstract Alcohol abuse and alcoholism constitute a serious public health concern across the globe. In fact, alcohol is currently the 3rd highest risk factor for disease burden around the world, and its adverse effects influence not only the drinker, but also their families, employers, and communities. Given the immense public health cost of alcohol use and abuse, scientific exchange among international alcohol researchers is critical for addressing important issues in the field and for informing public policy. The International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA) Congress provides an important venue for alcohol researchers from around the world to share scientific findings, discuss and debate issues in the field, and to interact and form scientific collaborations. As the premier international scientific meeting devoted to alcohol research, this Congress brings together a range of basic and clinical scientists that study the biomedical, psychosocial, and clinical aspects of alcohol use, abuse and addiction. The scientific exchange that occurs during the Congress is invaluable for both established and developing research programs around the world. ISBRA Congresses are held biennially and their meeting locations have rotated among Asia/Australia, Europe, and the Americas. This grant requests funding to support travel to the 19th and 20th ISBRA Congresses. The 19th Congress will be held in September 2018 in Kyoto, Japan and the 20th Congress will be held in June 2020 as a joint meeting with the Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA) in New Orleans, LA, USA. In addition, support is being requested for ISBRA members to participate in meetings of ISBRA's affiliate societies, such as the European Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ESBRA) and the Asian Pacific Society on Alcohol and Addiction Research (APSAAR), which meet biennially in years opposite the ISBRA Congresses. This grant requests partial travel, lodging and registration support for scientists to attend these important Congresses. In particular, this grant seeks to provide support for junior investigators and individuals from underrepresented groups and countries. This support will foster the cadre of young scientists that will develop into the leaders of the field and assist investigators who might otherwise not be able to attend the Congresses. Partial support for Congress publication costs is also requested so the scientific abstracts and summaries can be communicated to the larger research community and the public.
