# SUPPORT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING FOR THE RESEARCH SOCIETY ON ALCOHOLISM (RSA)

> **NIH NIH R13** · UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN · 2022 · $74,900

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
The Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA) Annual Meeting is the premier annual scientific meeting
involving all areas of alcohol research. In addition to biological/preclinical aspects, it also covers
medical/clinical, and psychosocial research. The RSA meeting is held annually, and previous
meetings (42) have been held mostly in the continental US, although some meetings have also been
held in Hawaii and Canada (Vancouver, Montreal). RSA had been planning to hold the 43rd meeting
in 2020 in New Orleans, LA (June 20-24, 2020). However, this meeting had to be cancelled due to
the Covid-19 pandemic. The 44th meeting in 2021 will be in San Antonio, TX. Also, please note that
this meeting is being planned as a joint meeting between RSA and the International Society for
Biomedical Research on Alcoholism. The location of these meetings will provide an attractive
opportunity for scientists from around the U.S.A. along with others around the world to present and
discuss their research. The meetings will have a large impact on alcohol research in the U.S., and the
outcome of the research presentations and discussion will advance the field. The program for each
meeting will feature topics that are highly relevant to the alcohol research community and provide
opportunities for discussion of existing and new collaborative research. The research presentations
will be in the form of symposia, roundtables, and workshops that will be proposed by the membership
of RSA. The RSA Program Committee will select the proposals with the highest scientific merit and
innovation. In addition, numerous poster sessions will be held. The RSA has made an effort to recruit
and retain new investigators in the field by highlighting their work as well as providing professional
development activities, and this will continue for the 2021 and 2022-2025 meetings. Since RSA is a
stable, established organization with annual meetings, this application is for 5 years of funding
(support for the 2021-2025 meetings). Planning for the next three meetings is well underway, but we
expect similar planning for years 4-5 of this application to begin soon. This application specifically
requests funds to offset expenses for young scientists (predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees within 4
years of their terminal degree) to attend these important meetings. Funds are requested for travel and
registration fees. An effort will be made to specifically target underrepresented groups. Some
administrative costs are also requested. The specific aim of this grant is to provide travel and
registration assistance for students and young investigators to attend the annual RSA meeting. The
overall goal is to provide information to those individuals who are interested in learning more about
current research in the alcohol field with the possibility of pursuing alcohol research as a career.
