This article is part of a Festschrift commemorating the 50th anniversary of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). Established in 1970, first as part of the National Institute of Mental Health and later as an independent institute of the National Institutes of Health, NIAAA today is the world's largest funding agency for alcohol research. In addition to its own intramural research program, NIAAA supports the entire spectrum of innovative basic, translational, and clinical research to advance the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of alcohol use disorder and alcohol-related problems. To celebrate the anniversary, NIAAA hosted a 2-day symposium, "Alcohol Across the Lifespan: 50 Years of Evidence-Based Diagnosis, Prevention, and Treatment Research," devoted to key topics within the field of alcohol research. This article is based on Dr. Mason's presentation at the event. NIAAA Director George F. Koob, Ph.D., serves as editor of the Festschrift.
这篇文章是为纪念国家酒精滥用和酒精中毒研究所（NIAAA）成立 50 周年而撰写的专刊的一部分。NIAAA 成立于 1970 年，最初是国家心理健康研究所的一部分，后来成为美国国立卫生研究院的一个独立机构。如今，NIAAA 是世界上最大的酒精研究资助机构。除了自己的内部研究计划外，NIAAA 还支持从基础研究到转化研究再到临床研究的各个方面，以推进酒精使用障碍和与酒精相关问题的诊断、预防和治疗。为了庆祝周年纪念，NIAAA 举办了为期两天的研讨会，主题为“一生中的酒精：50 年基于证据的诊断、预防和治疗研究”，专门讨论酒精研究领域的关键主题。本文基于 Mason 博士在该活动上的演讲。NIAAA 主任 George F. Koob，博士，担任专刊的编辑。
