The ninth annual meeting of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) was held February 19-22, 2003, in New Orleans, Louisiana. With over 800 registered attendees, this year's meeting was the largest to date. The 3-day scientific program included C. Everett Koop as the keynote speaker, four exemplary plenary speakers, 10 symposia, nine oral paper sessions, and four poster sessions that contained nearly 100 presentations per session. The meeting content emphasized three major areas of SRNT's scientific focus: Epidemiology/public health research, preclinical research, and clinical research. Thus, the meeting was an outstanding opportunity to interact with and learn from colleagues engaged in the broad area of nicotine and tobacco research around the globe. Additional events included pre- and postconference meetings, evening workshops that ranged from future directions for global tobacco research to grant writing for the new investigator, several scientific and travel awards, a members' meeting, and an opening reception. The scientific excellence and innovation presented at this year's meeting signifies SRNT's continued contributions to advancing our understanding of nicotine addiction and tobacco use.
尼古丁与烟草研究学会（SRNT）第九次年度会议于2003年2月19日至22日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良市举行。今年的会议有超过800名注册参会者，是迄今为止规模最大的一次。为期3天的科学议程包括以C. 埃弗雷特·库普为主旨演讲人，四位杰出的全会演讲人，10场专题讨论会，9场口头报告环节，以及4场海报展示环节，每个展示环节包含近100份报告。会议内容强调了SRNT科学关注的三个主要领域：流行病学/公共卫生研究、临床前研究和临床研究。因此，这次会议是与全球从事尼古丁和烟草研究广泛领域的同事进行交流并向他们学习的绝佳机会。其他活动包括会前和会后会议、从全球烟草研究的未来方向到新研究者的资助申请撰写等晚间研讨会、多个科学奖和旅行奖、一次会员会议以及一场开幕招待会。今年会议上展示的卓越科学成果和创新表明SRNT在推动我们对尼古丁成瘾和烟草使用的理解方面持续做出贡献。
