[DIV28SUPER] ECP needs your help

As President of Division 28 and an Editorial Board member of Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology (ECP), I and Editor-in-Chief Suzette Evans urge you to submit manuscripts to ECP and to encourage others to do so. ECP's submission rate this year, particularly within the last 6 weeks, has been quite low. While we all are under increased pressures to write more and more grants to maintain research and salary support, we must also remember that ECP provides a "win-win" opportunity as a potential home for the data that support these grant applications and a way to support the mission of the Psychopharmacology and Substance Abuse Division of APA.



Attached is a solicitation for submissions that includes further information about the journal.



Thank you for considering ECP when choosing the appropriate journal for your manuscripts.

[DIV28SUPER] Cellular Biology of Addiction Course August 6- August 12, 2013: Applications due April 15, 2013

 

 

How To Apply Selection Process and Stipends Travel General Information Campus Information CELLULAR BIOLOGY OF ADDICTION August 6 - 12, 2013 Application Deadline: April 15, 2013 Instructors: Antonello Bonci, NIDA Christopher Evans, University of California, Los Angeles Brigitte Kieffer, IGBMC, France Rafael Maldonado, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain Mark Von Zastrow, University of California, San Francisco Drug addiction is the most costly neuropsychiatric disorder faced by our nation. Acute and repeated exposure to drugs produces neuroadaption and long-term memory of the experience, but the cellular and molecular processes involved are only partially understood. The primary objective of the proposed workshop is to provide an intense dialogue of the fundamentals, state-of-the-art advances and major gaps in the cell and molecular biology of drug addiction.Targeted to new or experienced investigators, the workshop will combine formal presentations and informal discussions to convey the merits and excitement of cellular and molecular approaches to drug addiction research. With the advent of genomics and proteomics, an extraordinary opportunity now exists to develop comprehensive models of neuroadaptative processes fundamental to addiction, withdrawal, craving, and relapse to drug use and to brain function, in general. A range of disciplines and topics will be represented, including noninvasive brain imaging to identify drug targets and adaptive processes; neuroadaptative processes at the molecular and cellular level, neural networks and their modulation, the relevance of genotype to susceptibility and drug response; tolerance and adaptation at the cellular level and approaches to exploiting the daunting volume generated by neuroinformatics. This workshop will provide an integrated view of current and novel research on neuroadaptive responses to addiction, foster discussion on collaboration and integration, provide critical information needed to construct a model of addiction as a disease and novel molecular targets for biological treatments. Beyond the plane of scientific endeavor, the information is vital for formulating public policy and for enlightening the public on the neurobiological consequences of drug use and addiction. The workshop is designed to generate interest in this level of analysis, open conduits for collaborations and present novel routes to investigating the neurobiology of addictive drugs. Confirmed Speakers include: Charles Chavkin, David Goldman, Markus Heilig, Paul J. Kenny, George Koob, Barbara Mason, Angus Nairn, Eric Nestler, Marina Picciotto, R. Christopher Pierce, Rajita Sinha, Scott Sternson, Nora Volkow and William Yang The course will be held at the Laboratory's Banbury Conference Center located on the north shore of Long Island. All participants stay within walking distance of the Center, close to tennis court, pool and private beach. This course is supported with funds provided by the National Institute of Drug Abuse. Scholarship funds are available for partial support of tuition, room and board on a merit basis. Cost (including board and lodging): $2,515 Currency converter Supported by NIDA grant R13DA019791       Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Meetings & Courses Program

Research may address any area relevant to ADHD including, but not limited to: biological/genetic underpinnings of the disorder; treatment efficacy; impact on the individual or family; school or workplace accommodations; social stigma and discrimination; public health; and epidemiology.

 

The awards are currently being supported through a generous grant from Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. of Titusville, NJ and by a number of individual donations.

 

Deadline for applications is May 15, 2013.  For an application or for more information, go to www.chadd.org/youngscientist  or send an email to youngscientist@chadd.org .
