Worldwide Impact

The Foundation's Communications Department monitors the wealth of alcohol research from around the globe, communicates with the scientific community through both print and electronic publishing activities, and responds to requests for information concerning alcohol research from students, scientists, and the general public. 


ABMRF/The Foundation for Alcohol Research has supported many research conferences, scientific seminars, and workshops to bring together researchers from many nations to exchange recent findings and develop new ideas. Proceedings have been published in major research journals or individual monographs. Topics have included: 

  • Alcohol, Society and the Determinants of Health;
  • Alcohol Consumption and Indigenous People;
  • Genetics and Alcohol;
  • North American Conference on Alcohol and Highway Safety;
  • Life Transitions and Alcohol Consumption;
  • Alcohol and Cardiovascular Disease.

The Foundation also provides support for seminars at scientific meetings hosted by other organizations such as the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA) and the Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA). Support to RSA is given for the Research Society on Alcoholism Annual Scientific Meeting, which provides an opportunity for researchers, clinicians, and students to interact and present their latest findings. Foundation funding to the RSA goes toward Student Merit and Junior Investigator Awards, so that the newest members of the research community are able to attend the meeting.

 

Foundation conference funds primarily support the International Medical Advisory Group (IMAG) conference. The IMAG is an annual meeting that presents various topics in current alcohol research and brings together scientists and industry representatives from around the world.
